BOOST it!

Other than that I am not sure (now if you had a Z that would be a completely different story ).. Someone else will though just give them time.

And to Nico!

lol i was thinking of boosting it soon but first i wanna get a couple things done with the car before i do that. and thank you i like this site ... do you know any good websites where i can find parts/upgrades?

Research. I'd suggest checking out the Altima forums here: altima-forum.html to get a better idea of what you want to do with it.

I'd rock the KA any day of the week before downgrading to the newer QR 4 cylinder.

How about some background info on the car? Is it auto or manual? How many miles? What are your goals? Go/show? Racing? Budget?

What kind of racing?
Get the manual trans, get some good tires, and I'm not sure what NY emissions laws will allow in terms of power... but be advised to "hook yo ride up y0!" is going to require ~6 grand plus to do properly.

well i like circuit and drag racing but drag racing is my fav out of the two... and hell yeaah have to hook the ride up but the manual trans first i just dont know where to find one tho like besides check the forums for parts here.. like a websiste maybe or something i wanna check a websiste but dont know any for that tho do you know any?

I would probably check the local junk yards for parts. The Altima is a fairly popular car, so it shouldn't be too hard to find parts. The only problem you may have is the junkyards not keeping as many for as long because it's a 13 year old car.

I am glad you like Nico!!

+1 for junkyards.

The altimas aren't TOO popular in the modding crowd (not popular enough for websites to offer manual conversion kits anyway), so you'll probably have to do a lot of sourcing yourself.

yeaah i know but it would be cool modding my altima cuz it would be different and i dont mind that at all... and i noticed with the transmission but ima get help with my mechanic who is also a good friend of mine and stuff so hopefully i find a good trans at the junkyard and then go on from there
