Are the 04's even out yet? Anyway.
Disconnect your knock sensor from the block, wrap it in an old towel, and reattach it to the firewall. This will prevent the ECU from retarding the timing prematurely and cutting power early.

yes it is a 2004, it has a different front end from the 03, the dash guages are black and white, not orange, and the tail lamp is different, i know cuz they had a 03 and the 04 on the lot and i contemplated getting the 03 for a good discount, but the 04 looks way better, the seats are different too, silver and black mesh that kinda looks like recaros, but anywho, that is the only free mod? i was looking at the airbox and it looks like it has a bunch of silencers(dead end hoses) i'm prolly gonna get rid of them and plug the opening,

no my wife won't let me, since she's convinced all the mods on my last car ruined it and threw a rod, i had a chrysler conquest tsi with hks turbo timer, hks exhaust, hks blow off valve, hks air intake, eip 8 puck stage 2 clutch, short shift, manual boost controller, accel coil, accel 8mm wires, ngk plugs, 3 angle valve job, upgraded ecu, silicon vacuum lines, k& n filter, TEP 275 cam, i am now parting it and keeping some parts...btw i AM allowed on the net LOL

i CAN get the dealer install them so it stays on warranty, she just doesn't want to void the warranty , i know some of you understand that

The fact that you drove a Chrylsler is what ruined your last car, not the mods.

well it was a rebadged mitsubishi, nothing by chrysler at all, i was probably pushing way too much hp for an old tired block( 110000 original miles on a 17yr old car) i was pushin 22psi and beatin on mustangs, and daily driven...has anyone tried the nismo parts such as the cold air induction , the exhaust, and i have no idea what other perf parts nismo has, i've been a mitsubishi man for 5 years, and a mustang owner before that, i also own an 02 altima with the 2.5 also, does stillen make a front lip for a sentra 04??i want to add one not remove the fascia and replace/paint
