whats up everyone. new member here. i had my 2001 altima for a while, but i kind of want to start modding it. but i'm not sure where to start. if u notice, i also drive an evo, and all the parts i come by are name brand (hks, apexi, greddy, etc.) and theres plenty of aftermarket support. what are the major brands i can get for my gxe? i assume most parts for the KA are made for 240s. i searched for some exhausts/intakes on ebay but nothing came out.

basically just asking for some advice on where i should begin... i have absolutely no experience with nissan engines. all my knowledge is in the 4G63 :) . they're both iron blocks so they're both trustworthy bulletproof engines.

BRM makes a good exhaust, Hotshot intake and header for your altima. That would be a good place to start. If its a 5spd then an ACT s/s clutch with a lightened flywheel. Try the basic bolt-ons on and maybe add some nitrous

Stillen and NISMO will also have many, many parts out for your altima. Decide what you wanna do with the car, and mod it to fit that purpose.

whatever you do, stay away from neon lights, aluminum wings, body kits, and altezza tail lights. IF you do this, you will be ok :)
