Quick question bro do you know if the front end of the 08 altima it will fit a 03 altima ?????

[Nismom]

[m_turner_02]

[phreekee25]

congrats, spike!


P.S. when you do the BSR, please take lots of pics.

[sergey85]

man spike your pics are tight man i love them.

[Spike]

Thanks everyone!

and thanks diesel for putting this together!

Just a small update, my Tein SS coilovers have been installed. No pictures yet but I am planning to do a photoshoot with my buddies on thanksgiving weekend.

As for the BSR, I will definitely do a writeup for that, since no one seems to have done it yet for the Altima community.

BSR??

balance shaft removal.

there's a counter weight that spins at twice as fast as your crank shaft does. it's purpose is to make the engine feel smoother. other than for comfort, it serves absolutely no purpose (the engine won't destroy itself without it because the crank shaft is already balanced).

removing the balancer shaft frees up an extra 2 quarts of oil (i think it was 2) and frees up some HP and torque resulting in quicker revs. from what I've read, the balancer shaft assembly weighs a ton so it'll free up some weight too. the spec-v guys as well as the DSM guys have been doing this to their engines for quite some time now with great results, so its a proven mod.

Very cool man. Congrats!

Hey-
New here! I was just wondering what exactly you used to get the LED look at the base of your headlights?

[Asleep]

[Red Lion]

I'm glad he did it, I missed this thread!

Spike, your pics are awesome. They almost look like CG animation, I love the detail.

And I lol'd at the second vid where you plowed out! Maybe you need a fatter rear bar?
