2013 Altima Coupe 2.5S

Post

Hey guys,

I've been a 300ZX owner for about a year now and while that is my project, I just got a 2013 Altima Coupe 2.5S as my daily driver a couple days ago. Crimson Black with an Automatic Transmission. I love the car, it's amazing and I've always wanted the Altima coupe since they were first introduced. I couldn't be happier.

I plan on doing some mods, not really sure if performance is worth it on the 2.5 engine, so anybody have any advice there?

Also I'm having a heck of a hard time finding anybody who sells anything for the 2013 version, such as exhausts, intakes, etc. I do live in CA so intakes need to be carb legal.

If you guys could help me out that'd be awesome!

It is not worth it. Especially with the CVT transmission. Enjoy the car as is, maybe add a drop and some wheels to make it pretty.

2008-2013 everything is the same. Except for the front fascia on the 2010+ models. So you can buy an exhaust for an 08 and it'll work on your 2013. Just be careful some parts differ for the 2.5 and 3.5 such as lowering springs, etc..

Okay cool! I wasn't really looking at performance as I have my 300ZX still, but exterior was a must.

Any places you guys recommend for parts? Things like front lips, exhausts, etc.

stillen front fascia is always a good bet.

I looked into Nismo exhaust, but it did not seem worth it. Congrats on your new AC though - glad to find someone who likes it too

Yeah, I'm loving the car!

I was wondering, does anybody have a picture of the back of the stock radio? I have the model that didn't come pre-installed with a USB in the center console but I saw that where the USB would be there's a plastic cover that pops off that leads me to believe I could possibly have the USB installed there. I'm going to Nissan's part store where I live tomorrow to see if they can order the part and possibly install it but before I go there I was hoping to see if anybody had a picture of the back of the radio to see if there's even a connection for it there.
