I'll start. I recently swapped over to my winter tire setup. I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 tires size 215/55/17 on my stock alloy wheels. We had an early snowstorm in the area (Seattle) last week. It was fun blowing by all the wrecked cars on the side of the road. I was easily passing just about everyone, including 4x4 trucks, SUV's, Subarus, etc., you name it.

My brake pads are getting low. I would normally just do the brake job myself, but I have a neighbor who is a full time mechanic at a dealership. He's gonna do it for me in about two weeks.

 

so would you recommend the blizzaks then. i only have 5000 miles on my stockers right now but when they need to be replaced i want to buy some good winter tires because i drive alot for work

 

The Blizzaks are very good in the snow and yes I would recommend them. Now Bridgestone has the WS70 model available. I also had some Dunlop Wintersport M3's on my previous car. Both tires offer comparable snow traction, but for slush and rain the Dunlops were better because they have more of an open tread pattern.

 

thanks man appreciate it

 

So what exactly is this thread about? BTW any news on the new 5th Gen?

 

I thought I explained it fairly well in the first post. See what's going on in the other "lounges" to get an idea if you like.

As far as the 5th gen goes, no news that I've heard. Nissan has a concept car that's about the size of the Altima or Maxima, but that's all I've seen.

 

Here's the Ellure concept: LA 2010: Nissan Ellure Concept -- Autoblog

The front grill looks like something out of a Predator movie.

 

I sure hope as hell the Altima doesnt end up with the retarded arrow-shaped lights. First the 370z, then the Maxima... I still like the 350z better.

 

+1 AMEN! stupid hammer head looking protrusions from the lower bumper....

just gay....i do however dig the motor

 

the rims on the allure or whatever its called look nice but besides that the freaking thing is ugly lol

 

btw is it me or is the fourm getting dead... there really hasnt been much going on.. well atleast for the 4th gen section.....i come on like atleast once a day to see if theres anything new and its always the same old shit.. besides lightwerks there hasnt been anyhing else new..

 

i just saw the new altima if it is going to be an altima heres the link to the pics.... i like it ...

One thing still bothering me is that that's no4th gen toycar.
Just saying...... LoL

 

If that's the new altima DAMN!!! Reminds me of the old maximas though at least from the windows and up. Vital I feel you with the toy car thing a couple days ago I saw a freaking model of a prius come on if a prius can make it to the models line up so should the altima

 

Falling in love with that next gen alti...IF its legit.

 

Yeah that is def really nice looking.

 

That Altima looks like the new Maxima sort of

 

I will definitely trade in my altima for the new one if it looks like that. And this time I'll make sure to get a 3.5

 

+ freaking 1 bro

 

Only if it has a manual. Looks wise, its balling. But I can't drive a CVT car

 

i like the way that looks but since i just bought my altima im hopping this one takes awhile to come out because i would buy it.
i heard they are coming back out with manuals for 2012

 

I gotta see the actual finished product. if there is a manual, I may trade mine in

 

I'm guessing I can put this here

A couple days ago I got bored and looked up Nissan songs well couldn't find much except for some guys saying on some other forum that Nissan had actually put out a CD of some techno type music. Recently while I was looking around YouTube I came across this hope you guys like may not be everyone's style though.

YouTube - Joell Ortiz ft Jim Jones - Nissan, Honda, Chevy (Official Music Video 2010 New)(Dir By Dawud Gaston)

 

what a dumb song

 

Lol yeah which is why I implied it might not be for everyone I just like the fact nissan is mentioned

 

2012 Mercedes CLS

Is it just me, or is the new 2012 Mercedes CLS wearing a larger set of the Altima's SE rims?

 

Redoing the theme on My Altima progress thread - Page 2 - SDRev - Driving San Diego

decided to make a brief history thread on my car

 

da all red overlays look better.. what rotors do u have .. maybe u should get a spoiler.. and that blk hood overlay clashes

 

do oem spoiler the nismo would look right unless ur going to get the whole kit..

 

I didn't want to do a full kit. was just planning on doing a front lip, and the roof spoiler.

 

I've basically demodded most of my car and leaving it that way. Still have the overlays but I think an OEM spoiler will be my last mod
