So fast forward a couple years and purchased all new gaskets for under the hood. This thing was spilling crazy oil out of almost every gasket but the engine was strong and no smoke what so ever. So I decided to go with a dual core aluminum radiator, new upper and lower radiator hoses, degrease the whole bay, replace both valve cover, upper and lower oil pan gaskets. Wrinkle painted valve covers and UIM. Here how it looks
Next I replaced all rotors and brakes with cross drilled and slotted rotors with full ceramic pads (sorry no pics)
So now to pretty much current New exhaust from Headers all the way to exhaust tip (2.5 inch)
So I have no leaks from the engine all that's left is the tranny, so I've decided to get an LSD (thanks to someone on here talking me into looking for it) tranny, which I have purchase and still waiting for. It's being totally built from Man-Tran. It's an i30T transmission from a 99. I got a lightened flywheel (almost half the wieght of OEM) and a stage two pressure plate with 6 puck sprung clutch.

When the tranny goes in I'll be putting this Lightened crankshaft pulley.
For right now that's all I've done. More to come of course. I bought some 19x8 Axis Ne-o from a person and looking at some BC coilovers. But the coilovers are a little down the road. Right now, I'm looking into buying a CAI to get rid of the nasty setup that was on the car when I bought it. One thing I can say about Nissan (first one I've owned) they are a ***** to keep a decent idle. I have replaced the TB, IACV, and numerous coilpacks along with sparkplugs. I've accomplished it but alot of research helped me accomplish it.
Here are the rims I purchased tonight.

I plan on repainting them but just undecided what color to paint them but the lips are almost perfect. Little curb rash on one of the rims. Also, anyone about these rivets, if I can replace them? Also unsure of the tire size to go with for the stretched look.

That car is begging for a drop. It legit looks like a 4x4. Everything else looks good aside from the tails and grill but to each his own.
A tip for your rear: Get some worm clamps and install them on the rear muffler hangars and tighten them down to pull the muffler up. It'll look much better.

at least 3 inches or even better "slam" if you can see the top of the tire its not low enough lol...just my opinion

Chris thanks for the worm clamp idea. Yeah the tails (actually all lights) will be replaced, just did this when I first got the car when I was very tight on cash. Going to repaint the grill, not feeling it either. AS far as drop, just waiting on a good deal for some coilovers.
