One of the members, and my personal friend Alex M. has successfully swapped a 98 (2nd gen motor) into his 93 Altima (5spd). He did alot of engine work and added all boltons. I will post a detailed article and pictures when i get back on Sunday...

where are you going? we just got back up and running.

He's probably going to take a break from the madness. Good job on the site.

 

[Alex M]

it was actually a 2000 motor

Altimas are NOT slow... I'm faster than Integra GS/GS-R's in my SCCA STS car-class. I'm in second place in points, and I'm only trailing a Civic Si (with many many mods) by thousandths of seconds. I'm only running Ground Controls, Rims/Tires, and Stillen FTSB... other than that, I'm all stock with an Automatic to boot!

Maybe you're just not driving it properly.

But I'm still trading up for a 1997/1998 240SX... I'm getting tired of understeer.

Wow Nismostanza, is that a picture of your s13 under your name? Looks very hot! Can you post a bigger image? Silv80 conversion.....yummy!

PT, what kind of a league is that - dragging or autocross? And are you just an incredibly good driver or what??

It's AutoX.

I definitely think that I am an above-average driver, but I've never been paid to drive, nor have I ever taken any driving schools... so I don't really think I'm an expert driver.

Maybe a team owner who watches SCCA AutoX will notice me, beating up on Integras and Civic Si's with my daily-driver grocery-getter, and offer me a tryout for their driving team? I WISH!!!

Yup. It's all driver.

8 months and 2 days too late.

Actually, I've moved on from AutoX to Track Days... more money, but you get much more track time... and you get more speed too.

I've offered to take some Dot Net people with me, so they can ride along, but no-one's ever take up my offer except my neighbor's kids. They have a blast, and their parents hate me for getting them hooked on racing and speed.
