Sema 2007 - Altima coupe

[mcheddadi]

http://artisanperformance.com/PRESS RELEASE:

Built by Turbochargers.com, Nissan's Altima Coupe features a custom style not yet seen in the marketplace and a 450-plus horsepower VQ-series engine. BASF R-M white paint with black accents set off this unique coupe, and a custom-fit Extreme Dimensions front lip spoiler, combined with a 1.8-inch drop courtesy of Performance Springs, give the Nissan Altima Coupe an aggressive stance. Additional style and performance is provided by a Brake Pros AP Racing 13-inch, 4-piston caliper brake system and mesh-style Privat NEV wheels, sized 20x8.5 inches, with a silver painted center and polished lip, wrapped in 245/30R20 Toyo T1R tires.

The Nissan's Altima Coupe 3.5-liter V6 received a turbo kit built by Artisan Performance Turbo featuring a Turbonetics GTK650 turbo, "Evolution" wastegate, "Raptor" blow-off valve and a large Artisan Performance intercooler, measuring 26x10x3. Additional fuel is provided by an Artisan Performance fuel rail and 650cc injectors, while spent fumes are expelled through a three-inch Artisan Performance turbo-back exhaust. For additional performance and reliability, the Altima Coupe features an Artisan Performance crank pulley and performance oil lines. With all of these underhood additions, extra room was needed, so the battery has been relocated with a special Artisan Performance kit.

Inside, Artisan Performance seat brackets hold Yonaka Racing black leather racing seats with red stitching, providing occupant comfort, while STRI 60mm boost, oil pressure and exhaust gas temperature gauges give the driver all necessary information. A custom Rockford Fosgate audio system finishes off the interior.

Looks insane!

Here is STILLEN's PRESS RELEASE:

STILLEN has long been in the forefront of Nissan personalization, and the Altima Coupe is their latest target for the 2007 SEMA show. “The Altima Coupe comes well-equipped in both the looks and power department, which is why we chose to focus on subtle, yet effective improvements,” said Mike Ullrich, marketing coordinator, STILLEN.

STILLEN’s modifications to the exterior of the Altima Coupe include a custom window tint, front spoiler, rear deck wing and roof wing. Under the hood, a STILLEN intake provides more power and a high-flow stainless steel exhaust with dual mufflers give the Altima Coupe an authoritative exhaust note.

The suspension received new Eibach springs, dropping the Altima closer to the ground, and wheels are 19x8-inch Privat Zentralles shod with BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW tires. AP Racing 4-piston calipers with 13-inch drilled and slotted STILLEN rotors bring it all to a halt.

STILLEN upgraded the Altima Coupe’s interior with a full leather interior by Katzkin, while in-car entertainment is provided by a Sony Bluetooth-enabled Head Unit and Rockford Fosgate speakers, amplifiers, wiring and subwoofers.

Good Lord

Oh, and there is no way the hood is fitting on there.

I bet they are gonna make a bulge in the hood like the new 350z

[II Knucklez II]

wow!!! thats a really nice coupe. cant wait for those parts to come out. when is the SEMA show cause i hear they will let out alot of parts for our cars after the show

[johnny_d]

SEMA is going on right now in VEGAS. They extend the front lip but not the side skirts to make it even? Can someone pls tell me if those are 19 or 20s wheels?

[mcheddadi]

Can someone pls tell me if those are 19 or 20s wheels?

Its right there in the press release...

... mesh-style Privat NEV wheels, sized 20x8.5 inches, with a silver painted center and polished lip, wrapped in 245/30R20 Toyo T1R tires.

[bembol]

Not feeling it. That Front Lip is not right either.

[mcheddadi]

Clearly, this is not about the looks, its all about the Turbo kit. They didn't even bother making a hood that fits and just painted it white with a half assed front lip spoiler.

But the turbo is insane, they even had to relocate the battery for it. It gives over 165% more power with the VQ ! !

[Dexion]

The VQ35DE is a damn amazing piece of machinery, this engine is godlike. Over 450hp with just a turbo, goddamn...

[jdshift]

Looking good!!

[AltiCoupeDriver]

I agree, its all about the turbo. Doesn't look too bad thought, aesthetically. Is this going to be the only Altima Coupe at SEMA?

[Serkle K]

I actually like it... I am digging the lip... slap a hood on that bad boy, and the lip kinda makes it look like it's got a smirk on it's face, like it's trying to hide something, lol

[Hussain]

i'm not sure if anyone else noticed those lights. they look hella nice! i HATE that bright orange **** in our front lights! the one at the SEMA show has smoked head lights so it doesn't really show the orange. i need to get some lights like that on my car ASAP....... or when i get more money lol

[windhaven]

Is it just me, or did they paint the grill a matte black?

-- Wind

[windhaven]

And the painted mustache ......

[EzeebMOS3]

This car looks like a death machine, the turbo is like its Lazer cannon or Mini-Gun.... F***in Awesome..... if that was my car id just drive it around with the hood off and light things on fire...

[Goon]

I liked how they painted the Chrome white to the car, like how one of the posts here mentioned it.

[SHIFT_2.5S]

Great engine work, horrible rims. Overall good job.

[mcheddadi]

Is it just me, or did they paint the grill a matte black?And the painted mustache ......-- Wind

Yep they did just that, the mustache looks powdercoated in black and the chrome mustache is painted

Is this going to be the only Altima Coupe at SEMA?

No, like I said in the opening post, there is going to be a second one from STILLEN. I've already posted the press release and I'm waiting for the pictures when day 2 of SEMA begins tomorrow.

[johnny_d]

i don't dig how the front wheel looked so small in that wheel well. I guess they need to make a better body kit so the wheel can fill that huge space better. Let's see how Stillen's Coupe look

I tried a photoshop to see how that would look on my car:

but I don't know what to think about it lol, it's kinda sexy weird lol

[johnny_d]

here's a pix i found from Tunerzine.com, it looks so much like the A/C but I can't be sure if it is

[jdshift]

Kinda hard to tell.........that is either a Skyline 350gt, or a 350z.

[mcheddadi]

what the hell?! can't you tell your car from a g35 coupe?

Kinda hard to tell.........that is either a Skyline 350gt, or a 350z.

a 350z?!!? have you gone blind?

look at the body and the front lights, if you can't tell that its a g35 coupe from those then

[jdshift]

Not yet, but from the angle.........hard to tell. I said either or.

[jdshift]

Okay....your right, it's no Z. But how can you be sure it's a G35?

[johnny_d]

I guess the Nissan logo was misleading hehehe the engine didn't look like the A/C and I've never seen under the hood of the G35 so ......

Here are more pictures from SEMA

I noticed a lot of cars have a paint job that is matte, not glossy at all, i dont think it's because it's the camera. Maybe it's a new trend?

[jdshift]

Well, getting off topic...........so regardless if the ride is a G35 or not, the Altima coupe is showing alot of promise.

Mate paint color is not new at all, it's been done for decades at SEMA. It needs a lot less detailing and has a good tough look to it, but you don't have clearcoat to protect the paint from a scratch is there forever unless you buff and spray paint over it

[One Crazy Max]

so mods, and admins...what do you have to say now. foxmarketing pulled their car off for the sema show, and it runs. i guess they didnt lie after all huh!
