    Default My 93 Altima Project

    Here are a few pics of my 93 altima project.




    Current mods: (on the car when i bought it)
    15" Alloy wheels- Black... getting sprayed bronze this week
    Ebay Short Ram intake with no name filter
    X-Tune 2.5" Cat-Back.


    And here are some parts i picked up this morning



    4-1 header




    00 Sentra CAI


    and a Test Pipe i had lying around


    i also ordered new headlights since the ones on there right now are oxidized beyond belief.

    the car is in the shop at the moment getting checked out, but everything should be on the car in the next few days. I will update with finished pics and pics as the car progresses.

    What do yall think?

    The mesh would look good black.

    Drop that thing, and it will be even better.

    Never seen any modded altimas before. +1 on originality.

    the wheels on the other side are pretty chipped (paint only) so im going to need to respray them anyway, and i was thinking a dark bronze not gold.

    Just to let you know be ready on this turbo kit... its a pain... SMIC = HELL NO... you need a front mount and make sure the turbo is good... go T28 if you want quick spool or t3 if you arent planning on running stock internals... shoot me a pm with your number and ill tell you how to piece you a kit the way i did... ended up spending 1300 for the whole kit

    Don't paint the wheels. They look great how they sit.

    Seen alot of old altima's heavily modded and clean. Seen alot of crappy ones aswell, almost everyday on cobb pkwy. Just dont let yours be one of those crappy ones.

    I once wanted an altima. I love the way they look. Then I found out they were way heavier than the 626. I didn't see many altima's in the junkyard. I was worried when it came to getting expensive parts. There was more space under the hood of the 626 and it seems like everytime you sneeze, you're bound to see one in there. I liked that so I bought a 626. 3 626's later, I'm still addicted to them. Nice work in progress

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    I wrecked the first one (walking tree season FTL), I bought another that looked exactly like the one I wrecked and had it for all of 2 weeks until my sister wrecked it (women drivers FTL). This one's treating me good though. BTW, I might be owning a 4th one in the near future just for you. Can you say got boost?

    Update #2: Have to replace the EGR tube... had to be cut to get the old header off. hopefully getting one at the dealer tomorrow. called it a night after getting the top part of the header on. all i need to do tomorrow is connect the downpipe and test pipe and start respraying the wheels (black), but it will be finished tomorrow minus the EGR tube.
