Welcome to the formus. Check out the altima sub-section for many more answers. Sometimes the sedan area moves a bit slower, so you may want to look into the coupe section since a lot of the mods are the same.

Welcome To NICO.
Yeah, enjoy driving it. Cold air only does so much, not really worth it.

If you're going to DD it, don't fox with an intake or anything else designed for real performance.

If you want to deal with a slammed DD (I wouldn't), I'm sure you could make it look b|tchin, but I don't know how the roads are near you. Here is some low down grocery getter inspiration:

Don't try to make it fast, not worth the trouble.

If I had a vagina I probably wouldn't look so bored all the time. I'd be having too much fun flicking my thumb-knuckle bean.

Also, this poor noob is probably very confused at this point.

As is. When I go out, I don't want to have to fumble with pulling stuff out of baggies after I yank it out of my tuna tunnel.

Ack, I'd probably get tetanus if I treated the stab wound as a pouch. I dont think I have a single pair of pants w/out rusty bolts and such in them.
