So this is where I will be posting my build and questions about my new altima.

Intro 2011 Nissan Altima Crimson Black Coupe Manual Trans





Plans:

Alpine w910 Head unit

Hertz 6.5 speakers
Focal 6X9 Rears
Image Dynamics 10 inch sub
Audison LRX 5.1 amp

Wheels Volk? Rays?

Nismo Exhaust

Short throw shifter

Give me some ideas for wheels!

[bigaudiofanat]

A side thought.

What do you guys think about putting a the370z badge on the rear side windows?
Maybe so you guys can flag me down!

That would be cool!

Seriously man, congrats on the car. It's a really nice car. Take of it. If you have any questions, you can always ask me. I'm pretty close to you.

If I were you, I'd do sound. There's nothing WRONG with the stock rims. Drive it for a little and when it's time to get new tires, get a new wheel with tires. In the mean time, you can research. If I were you, I'd do a good quality Short throw shifter and audio. BUT be careful, your transmission warranty MAY be void after installing short throw shifter. Just my

my order would be
a. short throw shifter
b. exhaust
c. audio

Looking Good Matt!

Show the forum some love. Nothing wrong with that.

AK I am surprised at you! You should know audio is at the top of my list! After taking care of the damage on the side of the car.

But thank you for the congrats I love the car I really do. At least I am from the same manufacture as the z now.

The nismo exhaust from what I have heard on youtube is sweet! And a short throw sifter would be nice just have to see about warranty.

It would void your warranty on the transmission.
They would have to proove that was the cause.
but realy, you can put it back to stock before taking it to service if you were having a transmission problem.

As for upgrades your choice of HERTZ 6.5" is great
I would also suggest HERTZ 6x9 If you can. unless you have the Focal already.
Audison 5.1 Is a great amp. You may want to check out the new Hertz HD amps just came out, small foot print.

Thanks wicked however my choices may change. I will see what is available when it is time to do my install.

The short shift will probably be after the warranty runs out.

Nismo? Rays?

Photoshop would be a plus!

I know this is not the "it" brand. But enkei fits perfect and if you do a search, you can find some nice ones if you do some digging. There's a wide cariety of them and can be had for about $1200-1500 a set vs $2800 for volks. Rays are pricey for an FWD ride that is a chillin car. Is it a chillin car? Its just a suggestion though.

If you wanna maintain good performance 18x8 rims are best for the altima. Do not exceed 18x8.5 unless you like tire protrusion. And your drop would be ideal @ 1.2". Again, all suggestions. GL.

Funny you bring that up as I am actually looking at a set of enkei is what I am looking at.





Enkei Performance RSF5 Hyper Silver

Short throw shifter I wouldn't worrie about voiding warranty, I'm sure you can safely put it on. Before you decide on it though have you ever used a stick shift car with one before because I've never been a fan of them.

[bigaudiofanat]

Yes a few times with 370z's I love them and how quick I can go to the next gear.
