I have plans for fitting a 2k1 gauge cluster in a 98, i believe i would be the first one for that, and I think that I was the first one to do a complete 5spd swap for less than $1k (including parts, fluids, tools, and installation). Maybe someone's done that before me though.

The A33 3.7899 vs the stock A32 3.619 show very minimal difference, less than 100 rpm even with the stock tire size of the A32.
Do you have an A33 tranny or just the F/D?

But with 215/60-15's & 3.789 you get ~ 95 rpm difference VS the stock 3.619.
Negligible in both cases....
But the 4.425 from the 05 QR powered Altima would gain some benefits for acceleration, but obviously not for highway driving.
Do you have the F/D or the entire tranny?

I seem to be second at everything:
2nd with the G35 18's on a 5th gen (I think)
2nd with the yellow fog capsules (I think)
2nd to use the 6th gen calipers/rotors on a 5th gen (I think)
2nd to change all the interior lighting to LEDs (I think)
2nd to smoke the side markers (Bluesbrekr was first)
2nd to change the washer sprayers to the Murano fan-type spray (or was I first?)
ah...I was the first person to buy a stage2 lower tie bar, and then cut it in half 6 months later to make it into a stage 1 LTB, for autocross classing reasons. Don't know if that's a good thing though...
Maybe I was the first to drive the 5th gen maxima through over a foot and half of snow ON THE ROAD, UNPLOWED for over 200 miles!
also first person with the leather ebrake/shift boots from redlinegoods, I think.

Pre-drop pics:


That, and I have red cuplers on my intake (you can kinda see it here, but the bay looks better now):

Oh, and I think I may have been the first to use aftermarket fog light housings, but I'm really not sure as a ton of people have them now.
There is one thing you did before me, im not planning on doing that though. im pretty much done with my car i might upgrade my audio equipment.

Even though this is non engine/suspension related, I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that I'm the first to put some flushmount RCA inputs in the spot that I've got em....

I did a few electrical things..
windows on 5.5gens with aftermarket alarm and no extra modules?
9" mids in doors?
steering controls with certain radios and not that damn PAC unit?
Bypassing Bose with an aftermarket HU and no additional modules?
Adding amp(S) to Bose without silly modules?
Im sure a few others, do these count?

Yes but not all functions. Ive done sevral, but with limited functions. I believe just volume up, track up&down?
Best bet is the PAC SWI-ECL. I personally HATE the swix and would Never use it. Although the ECL works flawlessly with the AVNs and its hardwired, so of course no learning remotes or mounted emitters.

It's a good unit to have.
