I hope everywhere you go is perfectly flat with that 1inch of clearance lol it is a sexy car though

[08altima35]

they'll get the 50k they're asking. the car is completely one of a kind. mine might go up for sale after HIN in october.

[Robs_altima]

One of a kind but more or less the first of many to come.....

There's some great work done on the car but it looks they want face value for everything they've done.

[spockrock]

question about the 'custom' tein suspension, I thought the car was a show car so they could 'hack' coilovers to work, as a daily driver wouldn't it be unsafe??

[AltiCoupeDriver]

I don't know it they'll get 50k for such an unpractical car. I mean there is a lot of things you can get with 50K, like a more potent car.

Sorry about the thread jack, but Spockrock anymore info on this prototype your doing. Like what company?

[alt.coupe28]

wow.

[spockrock]

Sorry about the thread jack, but Spockrock anymore info on this prototype your doing. Like what company?

yes actually, there were two small delays, one the shop that I am taking my car in, their lift broke. And then I went on a 5 day vacation. I am taking the car in on monday, they have all the flanges cut, so they are building the prototype, and from what I have heard octoberish we should have a y-pipe. Since Joe has already mentioned it on nissanclub.com, its Racingline whom I am doing the prototype with.

[08altima35]

how could you install a coil-over if it was hacked off at either end? that's rediculous

[adidas2go]

lol, he's getting the suspension stories crossed

Awesome. Do you have any idea if this will cause cel or emissions problems? Also, do think it will be a relatively cheap mod, say around 100 bucks?

Really, Joe kept me outta the loop like that?

LOL sorry man, when I mean hacked I do not mean chopped up, I come from a computer background, so when I say hacked I mean getting something to do something it was not originally designed for. My understanding was that this car used coilovers from a gen 3 altima but significant work was done to the coilovers to make it work in a gen 4.

lol, he's getting the suspension stories crossed

Ok I think blake knows what I am referencing, so which car was it that used gen 3 coilovers??

[adidas2go]

It was this one However, they claim this setup worked. Some wierd sounds and shaky feelings were reported, but nothing major. Still enough to warrant a few question marks from me.

[spockrock]

I cannot say what the final pricing is, but it is a cheap mod. It should not create cel issues, but emissions it may.... speaking to Joe, it was to remove the 3rd un-metered cat. It may mean when you need to go for an emission test that you will need to run your car for about 30 mins or so until the two cats in the headers are warmed up enough.

Again I am sure warner or blake can better answer this question.

You can build bungs for the 02 sensors in the new pipe, but they would have to be further back from the engine, and be spaced. They need to be at a certain heat operating range to respond correctly. When placed correctly in the new Y-Pipe, this can be achieved. Eliminating the CEL.

If you get rid out your cat, your not gonna pass smog. Its that simple. However, they could build the Y-pipe to fit onto a high flow cat. That would ork just as well

[SHIFT_COUPE]

The price on that is almost insulting to a potential buyer. Ridiculous.

[LinkNuc]

If they get 50K for that, the buyer either has a lot of money and doesn't care or the buyer knows nothing of car value...35 tops and that is pushing it

and 1st thing is to get all those queer-azz stickers off, if ya ain't paying for advertising ya ain't getting a sticker

[rjdmmfl1]

The price on that is almost insulting to a potential buyer. Ridiculous.

It would be better if it was a daily driver... maybe with a custom hood to keep water, bugs, random debris from destroying the turbo, and switching out the suspension setup for a safer daily driver setup, it wouldn't be that bad!

BUt the problem is still price, for nostalgia's sake, if someone just wants thecar because of its history and all, then ok that's one thing, but price wise... the car could be replicated for ~ 40K, so why the extra 10K

sound system ~600turbo + install ~ $7000Body kit painted and installed ~ $1000Big Brakes Kit ~ $2500wheels ~$2000Racing seats ~$1500

With the Nissan 3.5 w/ prem package going for ~ 26K nowadays, after 15K in mods, you're still at 41K..... I just don't see where the other 10K is going

[LongBeachCoupe]

Doc.. the 10k goes to those "mysterious" springs that arent listed on the auction...

[AzureCoupe0888]

Ok, I am guessing this is a dumb question for a few of you, but I dont know. In the pictures there are two guages replacing the air conditioner vents in the middle. Blake your car only has one in the center right? Is there a reason this car needs more guages?

I am just curious what they are for, I assume its the turbo of course, but I just didnt know why it needed two and blake's needed one. Is it because one is manual and the other is CVT??
