We have done this to cars. We just haven't dyno proven it yet. Aaron, maybe if you can get Kojima's Consult II, I can teach you how to do it for Friday, or even Saturday @ Stealin

I'm sure there is a mechanic at your local Nissan dealer who has installed a spoiler on one of the new Altima's. I'd go straight to the source instead of the parts department if you need some hints from your local wrench.
I was not present for the install but if you get stuck I could talk to the Mossy mechanic who installed the spoiler local dealer.
If you could talk to the Mossy mechanic, I'd really appreciate it. Both of my local Nissan dealer service departments say that they don't do spoiler installs. When I asked for the name(s) of the place they send them out to, I got the following... and no answer....

Besides having the timing advanced, are there any other tweaks that can be found within the Consult II?
Originally posted by Coco Does timing advanced affect gas mileage at all?
yes. If you maintain your current driving habits and have your timing advanced correctly, you should notice a slight increase in mpg. Since the car is producing more power overall you don't need as much throttle to produce the same effect.

i KNOW my alti's limits better than jsut about any non ex- racecar drivers out there.
i am also the one who feels the pangs of my lack of aftermarket suspension support more than anyone else.
luv this site, SR20AL
I'm glad to know that people have enjoyed what has been written so far. I saw the Stillen prototype rear sway bar at the Nissan day last saturday. As Greg mentioned he has an option and some of us at the magazine are looking at other companies that might be interested. The huge Altima sales easily justify companies developing a good peformance suspension.
Don't be discouraged, it took almost 5 years before killer parts started to come out for the Se-r/NX/G20. The product development has actually been pretty good so far.
Check out the Altima's project page for a little tease on what's coming next.
and no answer....
