This is the car that I am using as a template for my car. I thought I would post some pics as these are some of the best pics I have seen of a SSS Bluebird. You can see some good details showing the differences between the USDM Altima and the JDM Bluebird.





This one shows the rear wiper assembly that I eventually want to bring into the states. I know of where one is being sold but shipping is gonna kill me because it involves the entire rear window. I also do not know if the rear window is a direct match to ours. I dont want to bring it here to find out otherwise.

I love that dam car, the bumper is so much better than the one on the US models. Gotta love the fact that they are AWD with an sr20det:thinker

JDM: SR20DETUSDM: KA24DE

JDM: AWD(SSS Atessa only)USDM: FWD

BlueBird:

Rear bumper(which I want!!) is different.Front Bumper is differentRear wiperRHD

The Bluebird SSS is basically an Altima SE on PCP. The drivetrain is sick but will not transfer onto the USDM Altima without serious $$$$. The motor well...there is no replacement for displacement... with that said, keep your KA's folks.

It has been said before and I will say it again... USDM gets crappy versions of Japanese cars. I am sick of this. Only Subaru has started getting wise on this and has sent us the formerly foreign markets only WRX. Subaru was not sure how the car would be accepted in the US. Automobile Magazine decided that it was the car of the year. This year, it is one of 2 best sport sedans ranked by Automobile. The other one is the $70,000+ BMW M5. I can't wait for Nissan to bring the Skyline to the US. That would make me feel better. :pface

Mitsu is wising up by bringing the EVO over. The rest of their line sucks, especially when compared to the Nissan market equivalent. It should put them back on the map. They pretty much fell off the map when the 2nd gen Eclipse left and became the chick's car it is today.

I hope other companies follow suit.
