[reflexx]

lmaooo i now how that feels! i have to do everything under the radar! lmao

my parents dont no bout my sound system.. and my intake which ive had since january.. and they just saw my bluee dome lights and the door lights.. i dont no how ima pull off the exhaust.. or the fascia lmaoo i gotta convince my mom!!! ahahha

[LegendRacer]

why would your parents care? its your car, unless your asking them for money, id just throw stuff on my car (if i had the money too...)

right now i have income...but saving up for HAWAII!!! Hawaii nicomembers il be there in MAY!

its not bad for a 18year old to go to hawaii with his GF for a week lol

got a sweet deal... 900 bucks a person including flight and 7nights accom.

lol that was pretty random...but yea

[reflexx]

i havent askd them for a single cent ever since september.. cuz i do work.. and make bank.. they always say.. its gunna ruin ur car dont do anything to it.. blah blah blah. and im doin the payments for my car which isnt even hurting me financialy wise.. the only thing they pay for is the insurance.. but eh.. just gotta convince them and use the fact that i finish highschool in 2 days.. maybe that will let me get somethin for my car as a compensation lmaoo

[CDUB 42]

My parents are the complete opposite. They like when I do stuff to my car. They think it makes it unique I guess. And I love to modify cars. I have never owned a completely stock car and normally I cant keep a car more than a year. Idk there is always somehting that comes out that I want to get. It was real hard getting rid of my STi but I love my coupe. I had a newer Eclipse and it sucked in my opinion. But you learn from mistakes I guess.

[reflexx]

my parents are just wierd lmaoo

yahh i no what u mean by mistakes lmao..

So.. would this eventual turbo/supercharger fit the sedan?

[LegendRacer]

So.. would this eventual turbo/supercharger fit the sedan?

sorry no one cares about the sedans... LOL JK JK

they should but probably after the coupes...

[adidas2go]

So.. would this eventual turbo/supercharger fit the sedan?

No one can really say for sure until the R&D is done. However its the same engine in the same engine bay with the same transmission. Should be any reason that a final product for the coupe couldn't fit a sedan, with minor tweaking of course

[ursus]

Good to hear, Stillen have some catch up to do, I just read Artisan is almost done w/ their coupe, the donor should will his car back soon.

Sorry to digress from a Stillen post.

We shall see how well they did with their turbo system on a real functioning car. Stillen has produced some amazing forced induction products. I think you will be very pleased with the outcome

[TheBourneAltimatum]

Hey guys,

We definitely plan on doing ALOT MORE to the Altima Coupes. Forced induction has been discussed and we are simply trying to come up with the best system for the Altima's. Both 2.5 and 3.5 are on the R&D list but that's not to say that they will get similar kits. We have already begun building the turbo kit for the 2.5 but we still aren't sure if we want to turbo the 3.5...It might get a supercharger of some sort.

We will update you with more information as soon as we get it.

We have talked with the Nissan engineers and have found that the CVT transmission can handle LOTS of power.

sounds good! dont forget about the sedans too and wasnt Ramon (the guy you guys developed the catback for the sedan) going to let you guys do more development for the sedan

Definitely waiting a while before forced induction (unless a product dev opp comes along).Really want to see a blower solution vs. turbo personally (not, knocking the Turbo's guys).

Wow, a supercharger would be great! I have an Eaton M62 on my truck, and if I'm correct, Stillen uses that same Eaton on some of their set-ups. I'd prefer an SC over a turbo any day, for instant power on tap, easier installation, low maintanence, and basically a trouble free life.

Of course, I'd be crankin' mine at close to max RPM's with the smallest pulley manageable Now I'm really getting excited!

[dangeris]

You guys hiding things from your parents..it kills me! I remember doing the same thing with my parents too...ahhh good times good times !

[spockrock]

50$ I am in........

well i paid 40grand for my coupe... canadian

and most cars around the same price has the hood dampers

thats about 40K US as well.... remember our dollar is about on par roughly.

[kyle@stillen]

We might use the Eaton blower, we might use a centrifugal, we may even try a Rotrex. Or, we might end up with a turbo. It's too early to tell right now.

We do like to use superchargers because of the instant power delivery and smooth operation. 4 cylinder engines love turbo's and work great with them while V6's tend to just like boost in general haha. Whether it's delivered by a supercharger or a turbo it enjoys it. V8's are allllll about superchargers.

We look forward to seeing what Artisan comes out with. We love competition and comparison. We have been working on FI Nissan's now for over 20 years. And every time we do a forced induction project our focus is on quality and performance, not expediated release dates. I don't know when the kit will be ready but I can tell you that it will be very well engineered and just like all of our other kits will offer a great power gain while keeping reliability in mind.

[dangeris]

Kyle,..you really need to stop talking sexy like that! You don't know how much that kinda talk turns me on And i'm sure I'm not the only one on the forum that feels the same way

[LongBeachCoupe]

If you need my I4 for turbo development, ill put it on a train if you are doing it over the summer... i can use my girls ride then!

[johnny_d]

they own a 4cyl CVT already What they don't have is a V6 CVT which i'm praying they'll use mine

[kyle@stillen]

Actually we do...We have a 4 Cyl. CVT and a V6 CVT...Our blue car with the flames on it is a V6 CVT.

[johnny_d]

so you got 2 V6s ? darn it, there goes that thought

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Man, Stillen is the like the most consumer friendly company ever! They're pretty much giving everyone what they want. Not to mention their business savvy, they're not wasting any time getting their parts into this untapped 'niche market.'

[LongBeachCoupe]

I think ive said this before.. but im a banker... and when dealing with companies looking for funding, too often there is management who understands their business so well, they forget that the bottom line is the thing that counts...

I am also the "Deal Guy"

Stillen may be making lets say $20 less per Eibach kit by selling it at the GP... but they increase their bottom line because they sold XX more than they would have...

I am very happy that there is somewhere to get parts that understands that cash is king, and being competitive is very important... Im sure the Nico owners are happy too as i assume they get some sort of revenue stream from this...

The best part, is that we all get top-notch products, for ebay-esque prices!

I know what that means.. that means you need a 6MT Sedan

[generic808]

Yes, bottomline is the dollar. It's good that Stillen understands, and has found a good balance between profit, customer service, and giving the consumer what they want at a great price. It's a win win for everyone!

[jungleboogie]

I felt the same. but then i thought of a scenario, lets say you strip down your gf's pant, would you prefer shes wearing a granny panty or a thong???

hmm how about none?? a thong represents more aesthetic values as opposed to just informal good old genuine practicality...

in any case, i would rock these...

[LegendRacer]

i wonder if it would be hard to paint them? im guessing its metal, so you need to find the right base coat and sand it down nicely...

my car is white i wouldnt mind getting it painted body matching color or a sharper eye catching color so people know its not stock LOL

[generic808]

You can use a high-temp paint. Just be sure to tape off whatever needs to be.

[dangeris]

Kyle / Josh,....Any word on these? Are they available on the Stillen website yet? I looked yesterday but didn't see anything.
