Hello to my TL, Goodbye to my Altima
The Altima is up for sale, the silver bullet was good while she lasted but now, it's time for her to have a new owner. I would post more pics ot the TL but it's still bone stock and you all know what they look like when they are stock. I will post pics once I start to dump some money into the car.

well, there really isn't any comparisson. Driving the Altima is like driving a metal trashcan with 4 wheels and driving the TL is like losing your virginity again.

Having had an Altima myself a while back, I could not sum it up better.

The car I had before my TL was a 2002 Altima SE. I had modded it a little with the following;
o Frankencar intake system with Apexi dry element filter.
o UR underdrive crankshaft pulley.
o Full Mossy stainless steel catback exhaust.
o Magnaflow 4"x22" round resonator.
o Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 225/50WR17 tires
o Next in line was the software upgrade to do away with the throttle hesitation, but I never got there.
These cars were having problems with their MAFs and some other things as well. Like the precats on some were self-destructing and some of the catalyst material was getting drawn back into the cylinders and screwing up rings and other internals. This started with the 4-cylinder engines then moved to the VQ sixes.

Quality concern was the reason why I opted to get the 02 Maxima SE rather than the Alitma 3.5SE. Outside of a blown MAF sensor early on, my Maxima has been trouble free in the 4 years I've had it. (not a rattle or buzz to be heard)

Nice migration and congratualtions! I to made the jump from an Altima (2k3 2.5S) to the TL. Though I miss the bigger interior of the Altima, I don't miss not having Navi and a boomin sound system (though the Altima's was nice)
