**Asleep** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-28-2009, 12:49 AM

anyone in my area - or close to it - wanna help me make my swap to a different car? i dont expect anyone to jump up since i live in upstate. but ill buy beers/pizza for anyone that wants to help. i know what im not doing, but this would be a good opportunity for anyone that doesnt have a whole lot of experience to learn a little.

upstate/watertown, ny area.

Damn, I'd jump at the opportunity, but thats a bit of a ride.

If you are still offering early august I'll take the ride.

might be doing it in august - or next weekend, lol.
im swapping everything from my silver alty to a black alty.
going from 5spd to auto too.
ill do a 5spd swap later but for now, its just going to be a slushbox for a while.

Will you still be boosting the 12psi with the auto in, or are you going to turn down the boost?

probably turn the boost down to 10.
im not looking for the car to be fast/quick anymore. i just want a nice daily.
being auto, it will allow me to baby the car more often and have a peaceful lazy drive to work, so i can enjoy my morning coffee, lol.
ill leave the crazy boost (22lbs) for my 240.

Ok, it'll be interesting to here how the stock auto holds up to the boost.

When are you doing it and if like 3 people from nj or ny carpool we could probably do it pretty quick.

**Asleep** · #11 (**permalink**) 06-30-2009, 12:35 AM

this 4 day would be nice to get it done. im not gonna ask anyone to give up their party weekend though, lol.
i might start hitting it this weekend. its pretty much a one day job with the turbo being the majority of the work.

Take pics???? Any pics of your work will be appreciated by many in the future.

**Asleep** · #13 (**permalink**) 06-30-2009, 03:22 AM

i plan on taking lots of pics.
there will be a suspension swap, engine swap, ecu swap, rear disc conversion, interior swap, and some gauges installed...

damn! I'd love the opportunity to help. I'm considering boost for my 93, but I still have a lot more reading/research to do.
So Asleep, what's gonna happen to your silver altima??

**Asleep** · #15 (**permalink**) 07-03-2009, 01:43 PM

not sure yet... its gonna be raped of anything of value and pretty much be reduced to a shell.
