Post by **00_Altima MD** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

'02 Altima

1. Blonde interior color in my Altima2. Body that dents very easy3. Oil filter location that is right over the frame and spills oil all over the place when you pull the filter.4. Front wheel well that looks bigger than the rear whell well. I have 18" wheels and it still looks to big.5. The latch on the center consol cubby hole. I broke mine cleaning it.

If I were Nissan back in 1995, I would have blessed all 5 speed Altimas with a limited slip differential.

i agree about the body denting easily, at first i thought it was dimples in the paint, but turns out its a damn dent in my freckin car, i idnt even hit anything, i thin ksomebody bumped into it or something?, but i have one of those dent removers at work so its ok

Post by **Cold_Zero** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

what kind of dent remover?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

one of those things with the suction cups on it, and it kinda 'sucks' the dent out of the car, you can go to any body shop and they are sure to have em, i forget how much they cost, but its only a 1o second job

I wish that the first gen's had an option for a bigger engine. Like the maxima 3.0 with 222hp. It would be a nice option to have, dont ya think? But what I would really change would be to make mine a 5 speed and also a 2 door

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

yea, the 222hp vg3o is a pretty stout motor, wouldve been a nice swap tho

Post by **Altiman94** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

the first gen altima 5 speed is no rocket by any means, but it holds it own. Low 16 second/hi 15 second 1/4 mile passes out of a 4 door 4 cylinder sedan is pretty decent.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

well if low 16 passes are attainable with a 5spd ka24de in an older altima, then the autos' should run roughyl mid-high 16s?

Post by **Altiman94** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

Mine does. 16.7 with i/e and no weight reduction

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

that sounds rite to me

Post by **Rev_D21** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

I would have had a different shop paint my car.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

whats wrong with your paint?

Post by **glacier985** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

there are drips and some spots are getting white specks

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

well u should hvae some type of warranty on the pain, bring it back to the shop

Post by **glacier985** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

i would but I don't really want the shop to fix it, since they did a bad job the first time the probably do it again, so im just waiting to next spring to have another shop fix it.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

o, what work did they fix the first time that was a bad job?

Post by **glacier985** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 12:32 pm

The first job they did was because I wrecked the car and ended up having $1900 in damages. Insurance paid for the damage, my bodykit wasn't painted so I just had them repaint the whole car. Ended up only costing me about $600 extra since I got a fender for my car ($25) and got a different style bumper and kept the damaged rim and brake rotor on the car.
