For the second installment of "holiday car wash for my mom's car" we have a minor update. The LE37T are being reconditioned for sale and have been replaced by NISMO A34 19's. I prefer the grown up look, however moms isn't thrilled. I've been enjoying playing with this car a bit.

Turkey Day:



Christmas Morning:



Before anyone says it, a drop is in the works. I'm still trying to decide between A34 JIC coilovers or a simple NISMO suspension kit.

Also in the works is a sound system upgrade featuring Tru, CDT, JL, and Stinger. Maybe an NWP VIAS block off as well.

Merry Christmas Orgers.

 

I swear Nissans make rims look little. Its clean but u already know what ima say. Waiting for finished pics.

 

nice nice... co -sign with him..

 

I like the old rims better, to be honest, especially without a drop. BUT...once I see what it looks like with a drop on the Nismo rims I may change my mind Good luck with the drop, I know how difficult it is to get a good looking drop on that generation Altima. There's such a difference in the height of the wheel wells from front to back.

 

when that thing is lowered it will look soo good, i really like those wheels thou

 

i almost went to the garage and dropped it this morning since i have the a34 jics but i forgot i needed a fender roller.

 

im starting to see these 19s more often. Trophy nissan has them for $649 but without tires

 

i believe nissan is trying to clear them out. i got these for less than that.

 

Eh the old rims were better.

 

i wouldn't be surprised if 98% of the .org agreed with you. personally i am not a fan of the "import look". the gunmetal was cool for a while because it was a perfect match to the color of the car but even then... i prefer a clean, classy look to a "hey, look at my mad tyte wheels yo" look.

 

should have went with the gunmetal nismo wheels.

 

not a fan of either sets really :/

only nismo wheels i like are the LMGTx series wheels

 

gunmetal ftl.

 

I'll be part of the other 2 percent then. I think the old set was definitely in the "LOOK AT ME, I HAVE WHEELS" category.

 

Both sets of wheels look good. Once you lower it, it will look 10x better. Go with coilovers. Nothing beats the adjustability of coilovers. It's the only way you'll get the stance you want.

 

lol....i think he knows.

 

coilovers were the plan to the point i almost put some on yesterday but after doing some measuring i have decided to drop the front only 1.5". this is my mom's car, not mine. if it were mine it would be pounded to the ground. instead i will be dropping the front only to even out the ridiculous wheel gap while maintaining maximum ground clearance. my mom is a horrible driver.

here is a pic off cardomain of someone who did the same thing i plan on doing:

 

I like the gunmetals a little better bro,

 

I'm part of the 2 percent also. They're definitely in that category.

 

a shop of the nismos in gunmetal is needed

 

feel free but don't bother posting it in my thread. it is not going to happen.

 

To be honest, I've never been a fan of those Rays...IMHO the style isn't worth the price you pay for them. A little too simple looking.

However, I agree on the gunmetal. I suppose you could just paint the gunmetal rims silver and have the best of both worlds.

 

Looking good.

 

2 more weeks of mods under the belt.

last weekend:



engine detail, deka battery, stinger ground wires.

today:



eiback pro-kit (front) drop and stripped wheel stud mod (fixing this afternoon). also threw some valeo ultimate wipers on a couple days ago.

 

yeah you would strip a stud!! hahaha

The ride height looks soo much better now in the front. Do you think the ride will be weird since the rear is still stock?

 

man i was so happy too cause i hadn't cut myself or broke any bolts or had and kind of issues.

as for the ride, i drove it for a second and it didn't really feel any different.

 

It looks better ut still high but if its ur moms car then its way better then stock height, yeah im trying to get coilovers and slamm the altima

 

i concur... you guys know me by now and know if it was mine it would be beyond slammed. but 'tis not the case. i think once the fronts settle it will be a perfectly even gap front to back, which was the goal.

i have a set of jic's for the a34 that should fit the altima as well if you are interested.

 

Send me some pics or pm

 

not bad but could use a slam

 

everything could use a slam, however you're looking at a 48 yr old woman's car. i have my own car (and another one the way) for slammin'.

 

LE37T FTW soooo hot.
