Post by **nlzmo400r** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 5:50 pm

i just thinking, i know they have 1st and 2nd gen altimas in japan (bluebird), however, what about the new 3rd gen, ive never heard any talks about them being in japan, why did they discontinue them over there?

they have 2nd gen Altima's in Japan???? I only heard of the bluebird (1st gen). I was under the impression there was no 2nd gen Altima

the first and second gen were very similar in appearance, i assumed since they were so closely related, japan had the 2nd gen bluebird as well, i know i havent seen or heard of a 3rd gen, but they may not have teh second gen either now taht u mention it

The 3rd gen Altima looks like the Nissan Teana. Possibly the Primera, but I think this car is on a different chassis.

i know what the Primera looks like, but have never seen or even heard of for that matter, the Teana, so far, i havent seen a pic from anything in japan that looks like the L31 here. So bud, i havent seen you around much, been busy modding hte cars i hope! how did that wheel situatio with the altima turn out?

Enkei is trying to locate a new wheel for me. I might add they are taking their sweet time at it. I havent been doing much of anything. We had some monsterous rain this weekend. We (Repoman and I) took the WRX and played in the rain and mini rivers that formed. God that was fun.

The Teana looks like the 3rd Gen Altima and comes with the 2.5 and 3.5 liter engines.

Try this.

I dont think it would be the Primera. The Primera comes with a 1.8, 2.0 or a 2.5 litre engine.

thanks for hte pics, but personaly i dont think either one of those resemblances a 3rd gen altima, i think the altima looks better by far

Look at the back of the car, the Teana looks like the Altima. I would think that the frame would tell the true story about, what is the Altima in Japan.

now that u mention it, i can see the resemblance in the rear, the windows, and even the side mirrors, but the whole front end is just so different, probably cause they had to meet u.s specs for our 'altima'?
