Hey guys I am new to this forum, just cut out a deal for a Altima coupe, 6 speed.
It has this weird brown, purple, black color, but i love it, looking to pair it with gold rims, red calipers.
I am coming from a mazda 3, and everything i did to it i intend to do to the altima, including coilovers, bbk, navi, turbo, exhaust, etc. The turbo ill probably have to wait a while but i learned a lot from the mazda 3.
This forum looks amazing and i already learned a lot browsing it as a guest.
Looking forward to being a part of this community! :mike

Welcome to NICO! Surprised you came over from the Temple of Zoom.

Pics are not required but recommended. We like vehicle p0rn. We've been scraping used GT-R pics off the floor just to survive.

Here is a tutorial on how to link pics.

Welcome to the forum!
Is the Altima a 4 cylinder or 6? What year?

I wanted the 6, but the one i got is a 4 cylinder. I figured after the turbo (wont be for a year or two but will happen), ill have more performance than a 6 cylinder with more efficiency. Plus i drive 60 miles a day, sooo regular gas and better mpg made the 4 cylinder a no brainer.
I was at a light and got hit out of no where, my poor three was totaled. I wasnt happy after all the work i put in, but it had 130k miles so guess it was time to move on.
Im happy that this engine will hold more boost and whp than my 3's, i hear the altima can handle 300+ whp easy, cant wait to do more research.

My Miata is starting to get old. Has 9,500 on it already. Time to buy a new one.
