My dad knows the owner of that dealership so if you or anybody needs a Nissan from there give me a shout. They would get taken care of really well. I would have bought another Nissan but I needed another Manual Sedan and needs to be in the Nissan family. I have strong roots with Nissan. Few Maxima as well prior to the Altima.





LOL Oh the plans have begun. I still have dealer tags on and I have ordered Ivory Pear key delete for driver side and Sport Lip (wrong white on the lip for now) from the dealership I will rock it until skirts and rear corners come in and get chosen still deciding on skirts, picked up Stance GR+ coilovers which are sitting in the trunk until Spring. I am going to use them for a bag over coilover setup. Air ride with coilover shocks so I can lower the bags to get the car at it's lowest point when fully aired out. I got half the setup because that was the next thing on the Altima. I will reuse the black rims with polished lip until I purchase another set of rims. Bunch of other odds and ends coming as well.

It's a recipe for disaster.

I've been cutting through the bigger businesses with the larger parking areas to make that U turn onto 22 East.
This way you get a 90 degree view of Eastbound traffic - it is much easier to see what's coming up on you... and accelerate safely.

I see that your propensity for Design is alrady kicking in : Looking forward to seeing the 'finished' project !

I went with the G37x 7AT for the convenience of the Parkway commute.
Otherwise it would have been MT all the way.
One of the guys I buddied up with at Broadway Performance was having his G37S coupe supercharged the same time I was having my Z done.

Awesome upgrade in streetable power.

But working now only on the cosmetics of the G

It's great having that artistic slant isn't it ?

Rt. 22 can be a challenge!
A lot of traffic and a lot of local police presence ... not to mention the seemingly endless line of car dealerships all lined up in a row!

I was surprised to find that Ray's Sport Spot is now another Nissan dealership.

So you have a background in Design ? That can certainly come in handy.

I see that you've named you car Gia.
I have an 8 year old Silkie Terrier named Gia.

Haven't settled on a 'handle' for the G37 yet - and am in the process finalizing ideas for the first round of mods.
Drove in to Brooklyn and met with the 180 Custom guys and was impressed - the G37 is scheduled to go in this Wednesday.

Almost all of my cars have had names ... here are some from the past

'Henry Krinklebutt' was a '76 Honda Civic that I paid $68 for.
It was an insurance write off (the right rear fender had the Krinkle in it)
It was a spunky little car to drive...still can't figure out why they wrote it off.

Lazarus was a big Charcoal Gray '72 Eldorado ... 3 days after I bought it the heater core split and flooded the interior ... within the next 3 days the resulting smell became almost unbearable ... just like the biblical Lazarus.

They all had 'personality'

Sorry to hear of your Altima - never a fun thing to go thru

Going to carbon fiber the center of the car, ( front bumper lip will be CF as will the gialla grill rear trunks going to have a wing and also be c.f. haven't found a diffuser I like so I may just build it myself. The rest is being refurbished along with the weather stripping I am having a epoxy based hard coat sprayed in obsidian black. New headlights and I already have new taillights on her. Exhaust and engine mods begging to be put on too. Gotta figure out my suspension system. Leaning towards d2 airstruts, it's a permanent attached part, the bumper is made by autokitsx. Called a ts-t
