Well, after only 20 months of owning my 08 2.5s A/C I decided to move on. It was my 3rd Altima and 4th Nissan and might end up being my last. I didn't have any real problems with it, but; Long story short, I REALLY wanted an manual and those are super hard to find, and I wanted the bigger engine. I looked at the 3.5s, which were nice, but impossible to find a manual transmission on a used one. I also wasnt the biggest fan of the CVT. I know, I know, BUT I didnt like it and that seems to be the way Nissan is goin with all their autos. After about 30k mine started making a horrible grinding noise, like worn brake pads scratching on the rotor (and no it wasnt the breaks..lol) I took it to three different shops, no one could find anything really wrong with it, but they all sid they could hear the sound and it sounded harsh.

Anyway, the only way for me to try and get an A/C with a manual and a bigger engine was order one from Nissan. So I looked into it and it looked like a reasonably equiped one would run close to the 35k range... I decided I would be a fool if I didnt explore some other options. I ended up going with an American Muscle Car that was well equiped, larger engine than the 3.5 Altima, leather, 6 speed, 20 inch wheels, etc., etc. for about 7k less than the 3.5. So far I am very impressed and hope to hell that it is as reliable as all my passed Nissans have been.

Which brings me to:

I have a K&N Typhoon intake (2.5s) (cleaned and re-oiled), Eagle Eyez Smoked LED Tail Lights (less than 4 months old), and a Custom ALL Sheep Skin (black) drivers side seat cover with headrest cover and Airbag slit that need a new home. PM me if you are interested and I can send pics and talk price. Whatever doesnt go here, I wil ebay on monday Oct 3.

Thank you Nico for a fun place to read about and get cool ideas from others and share our passion for our cars. I belong to a very nice online Forum/club now for the car I own, and owe Nico a thanks for turning me on to this cool medium.

EDIT: OK OK, here is a picture of what I got... ;) I wont post pics of the parts because I dont want to turn this into a classifieds thread, so anyone interested PM me and I will be happy to send pictures of the parts!

haha when I was looking for my car, I found 3 Crimson Black 3.5 6 speeds, but I had to get the CVT... The funny part was that 2 of them were on sale because the dealer said that "anybody that wants a manual wants a 370!!!" haha what fools

Congrats on your new ride. Camaro is a great value for the performance you get; my neighbor has a convertible and loves it. My wife is loving the AC I drove for 16 months -- and tolerating my noisy mods -- since I moved on to domestic V8 high-performance (and premium gas!).
