HELLO... IM PLANNING IN TUNING UP MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 V6..... AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTI0NS BEFORE I PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT.....
FIRST, IM PLANNING TO INSTALL AN AIR INTAKE TUBE FROM WEAPON-R, TUBE STYLE DRAGON INTAKE SYSTEM AND MUFFLERS, ALSO INSTALL A COMPUTER CHIP FROM JET TECHNOLOGIES AND A 50 SHOT OF NOS AND A ULTRA-S UNDERDRIVE CRANK PULLEY FROM UNORTHODOX... WILL IT HARM MY ENGINE WITH THE THINGS IM PUTTING IN , SHOULD I CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP OR INJECTORS OR SHOULD I DO SOME MORE WORK BEFORE PROCIDING WITH THOSE EQUIPMENTS....THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE
First off, I'd check the pump out for sure. Ours had a fuel pump go out at around 9000 miles. Gave some technicians fits until they figured it out. Don't know if it was a random problem or if it could be common to the cars...

VORACHO
The curb weight on the new Altima is 3225 with manual trans. The twinturbo 300ZX weighs in at 3414. I know for a fact that many coil-over systems were developed for the Z.
I'm not really sure if there's a huge market for coil-overs for a sedan like the Altima. Only time will tell. What you can count on, is a peformance tuned strut/shock with a lowering spring at a higher spring rate.

I'm curious to know where you plan on getting the nitrous setup from? More importantly who you have to handle the engine management. The fuel system on newer Nissans like the Altima is entirely controlled by the ECU. So you can't simply raise the fuel pressure for the Nitrous with something like an HKS super AFR.
I'm 99% sure the JET computer chip you refur to is for the older Altima

I know of a memeber (different board) that has a Nitrous Express Wet Nitrous Kit setup since no fuel return on the 3rd gens.

Without knowing more about the car I'd say this smells like BS. 380 ft lbs of torque! I'd like to know how they are dealing with the fuel issues that we've discussed today.

He has the switch on the steering wheel if I remember correctly so he can light it up at any time. As for retarding the timing, he isnt doing anything.
Don't get me wrong if the car is truely making more power than good for him. He's definitely not running on crappy California 91 octane that's for sure.
