The engine got replaced under warranty, they said it was a factory defect in the motor and I said ok. My throw out bearing went out on my clutch and in the process messed up the output shaft on the tranny so I had to get a new one. This I really dont think it had anything to do with the way i treated the vehicle. I changed red line oil every 2-3000 miles. I have proof and records of everything maintenance wise you could want. Never had anything but 91 octane also. Garaged for four years Outside for like 3-4 months maybe.
Thats a bit much. When I traded in my 2003 fully loaded black on black 3.5se 5sp (wow that was a lot to say), Nissan had it on autotrader for $16k back in 2005 and it had 42k miles.. Good luck selling it.

You are not going to get any more money out of the car unless you find a buyer who actually cares about all the upgrades. Best thing to do would be to return it to stock and part out everything extra.
Car is worth from $11k low to $14k high even with all of the "add ons".
Sadly, I have to agree with the above posts...any mods you do will actually hurt you in the long run in regards to resale. Virtually any modification to the exhaust will kill the resale value of your car. I have learned to accept that and while the car may not be worth as much anymore, it was still more fun to drive.
