  • sick ride dude!

  • yooo buddy that was sick is there any chance i can order a 6manual gear box for my altima what do you think is cvt better than manual from starting at 0?

  • @unis1988 you can do a CVT to manual swap, but it's not cheap. you would be better off trying to purchase a car with a manual instead for much less. off the line the CVT should have better traction depending on how you launch the car, but the manual will be faster overall if driven properly. In this video, I was still getting used to the car, so I was shifting horribly. my latest vid has the car doing 0-60 in 5.2 seconds

  • manual ? wtf there is only automatic 3.5L... but auto and manual 4 cylinders -.-

  • @metallinen1 its a V6 with a 6spd manual transmission.

  • @metallinen1 WTF are you talking about??? I own a 3.5se, and it has a 6 speed manual, I can't stand CVT.

  • @metallinen1 Altima (Coupe) is available with V6 and manual transmission as an option

  • I'm not a big fan of Altimas, I'm more of a Maxima guy but your Altima is nice.

  • @screwopenborders It was between a 6th gen maxima, 4th gen Altima, or Altima SE-R when i was car shopping. But no SE-Rs could be found with a 6spd, and the maxima was way too pricey. Plus the altima had better overall performance in a lighter car with a lot of interior space. But I do love the maxima interior WAYYYY better

  • you will do better with traction control? with my 2010 3.5 sr i do it in 5.7 just with kn sri, and stock in 5.8 but without traction control

  • why it loose power, that not to cool

  • @aspensubi28 Poor shifts

  • how come 6 speed and v6 , i think it's only come with altima coupe

  • @GMCvancouver As of 2010, you can no longer get a manual in a sedan. my car is a 2007 which was the first time that a 6spd was offered in the Altima outside of the SE-R

  • @GMCvancouver its not just the coupes. I have a 4 door black 2008 2.5 4 cylinder and it has manual 6 speed and automatic.

  • jamaican951 on nissanclub recognize the car nice

  • 5 speeed

  • @thebeatdown160

    correction, 6 speed

  • @thebeatdown160 the 3.5L Nissans I beleive are all 6 speed

  • @MansurDerek actually, a majority of them are CVT. it is very hard to find one with a 6speed gearbox

  • @MansurDerek really?? thats whats up i have a altima 2.5 5 speed bunch of stuff in it ;) lol but ... i just figured the 3.5s would be 5 sp also ... but true cuz there 6 cylinders

  • cvt sucksss i gotta 2006 l4 altima lotta shit done to the engine dont feel like typin it all 0 to 60 5.1 sec

  • these altimas are freakin fast

  • is it only 2007 and later models of altima have the standard trans and not that xtronic cvt shit?

  • @s3nt1m3nta1 all altimas prior to 2010 have the option of a manual. 2007 is when the CVT took over for the automatic.

  • where are you mounting your camera? i have an se-r altima and i want to post videos but i cant shift AND hold the camera at the same time...

  • @Jacari90

    Its mounted on the passenger seat being held in place by the head rest.

  • @importroller

    O ok I see....thats a good idea actually. Only issue is with my car the gauges are in separate binnacles so if I mount the camera where you have it, the gauges will be cut off in view. Either way, cool vid and your car sounds great.

  • @Jacari90

    you may have to mount it on the side of the headrest closer to the door, and have it zoomed out a bit to get the center dash gauges as well as the dash gauges

  • @Jacari90 i cut my binnacles

  • Ive never heard of a warm air intake

  • gpowerfull engine i like it with 6 spped stick you can do wat you want

  • I timed it at 5.6 1st run 5.9 2nd run 5.8 3rd run 6.0 4th run

    very good runs accept for the last one your almost in the mid 5's get your cats done exhaust and tune you whole car out you will get more Torque ;-) and HP you will be doing low 5's trust me I've seen it oh and get better tires and put smaller size rims if you will be drag racing!

  • This vid was done when i first got the car, Its much faster now. I haven't uploaded the new vid, not sure which tape its on. But i think I timed it around 5.4 seconds

  • please upload it!!! I really want to see what the VQ power got?

  • you can watch my race vid on here too of me at the track racing my friend's SE-R. I was running with my system in the trunk and had my chrome 20s on the rear still. Just swapped my other friend's SE 17s on the front to help a little bit, and still ran low 14s

  • How were you timing these runs?

  • By watching the video afterwards and timing it multiple times to get the timing.

  • it climbs to 40 in almost nothing but does loss some power after 2nd idt redline or not makes a diff, at least it looked that way.

  • the 2nd gear pull was slacking because I was losing traction and the car bogs down if the TCS system is on.

  • the launching of this is a B**** i have the same car and i get too much wheel spin even at 2.5k, you can hear it on his too. i figure its cuz the tires are 215's which has pretty much no foot print.

  • @srsair U CAN FIX THAT BY WELDING THE MOTOR MOUNTS

  • cold air !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have the same car. alot of luxury, if it was lighter it'd be soo much faster. love the color and smoked lights

  • nice man

  • the 3.5 max is sweet with manual but u no what i rented one with an auto stick that was even sweeter and a bit faster than a regular stick..

  • umm..no it isn't. get ur facts straight!

  • umm have u ever drove an auto stick 3.5 loaded if your not speaking from experience STFU.

  • if you have any car knowledge, you would understand that conventional manuals have much higher gear ratios than 2speed cvt. Meaning they are able to accelerate faster with the same amount of power. It's not a hard concept to understand.

  • @ Bimbodeoro

    2 speed cvt? Elaborate please b/c the last tim ei drove my 07 altima 3.5 with it in auto mode the trans seemingly never changes gears

    And if you put it in sport mode (slap shift) and race it is faster than when leaving it in cvt mode. i think its cool how it will shift on it owns but it sucks that it won't shift on its on past 4th gear. Does anybody know why this is?

  • You have two pulleys split perpendicular to their axes of rotation, with a V-belt running between them. Due to the V-shaped cross section of the belt, this causes it to ride higher on one pulley and lower on the other. Doing this changes the effective diameters of the pulleys, which in turn changes the overall gear ratio. You don't feel the gear change because there really isn't any, it's all linear but it's called  a 2 speed because of the 2 pulley's at work!

  • a nissan tech told me that there are several small chains in the transmission not just a single belt constanly changing in order to transfer power as efficiently as possible.

  • There are many types of cvt transmissions but the foundation is still the same. Nissan's might and most likely is different from Toyota's or Honda's CVT tranny but the concept is still the same. I basically described to you in simple terms the operation of the cvt tranny and not any one in particular but yes some cars have up to 6 belts constantly working or in some cases chains

  • I do not believe that the Nissan CVT uses any chains. I have had a few friends have theirs go out, and inside was a belt.

  • @importroller u know a few people with broken cvt's? what did they do lol?

  • @occckid123 They took it back to the dealer for a warranty repair. nissan has extended the warranty on the CVTs past the 60K mileage. I believe its covered to 100K or 120K mileage now.

  • @importroller im saying how did they break it? normal driving. i drive my car hard everyday and never had a problem with my cvt. its wierd u kno more than 1 person with broken cvt's. im pushing 120k on my cvt

  • @occckid123 dont know how they broke it. It just broke. I have a manual, so i'm not worried about ti

  • woah, you almost overreacted!

  • where are your 0-60 vids? why dont you post them before you talk shit about a completely different car than yours? 5 stars to importroller

  • i drive an altima 09 coupe and an fd rx7 and tell you what......my rx-7 will smoke any mustang. Even the gt500 stang....its sad that an 15 year old car with a 1.3L can rape a 2009 stang gt500 with a V8.....tsk tsk vash stop talking shit cuz ur car is shit compared to mine

  • no one cares LOL

  • Yep. If you modify a car it will become faster than others. I can't believe it either!!!

  • Vashthe3rd, your a dumb fuck.....why are you watching this vid if you think this car is so slow and "super duper lame v6" fuck ford btw

  • ill take one

  • nah, just matching your childish BS. I figured thats the reason for your comments. that and you must be really bored

  • yes, my car is slower than yours. is that all you needed to hear, or is there more. for someone who claims they are not competing with me, you sure like to compare your turbo mustang to it. as if a stock mustang is anything to even brag about.

  • We can go all day, for some reason you feel that you need to compete against an Altima. There will always be faster cars. Your mustang is much slower than quite a few of the cars i get to drive on a regular basis. I just don't own them.

  • not even worth it man...his mustangs will break down 2 minutes into that day hes talking about...

  • This coming from someone who had to add a turbo in order to make is rustang fast.

  • this thing would have been better but you cant shift fast

  • I stated before. This is when I first got the car and was still learning how to drive it. I'm down to 5.5 right now for 0-60. Just never posted a new vid

  • damnn.. that is nice. 5.5 on the altima...and all you got is the intake?

  • Cvt actually is 6.0 0-60 somtimes 5.9's and i seen acouple guys hit 5.8 0-60 STOCK in a sedan 3.5. my personal best is 5.92 0-60 in cvt I have a 07 altima 3.5. I cant lie the new accord coupes are hot but the sedan is ugly and the altima is faster then camry and accord ive raced both and won and im stock.Plus the fact that camry interior is pretty basic and not impressive and the accord dosent offer a manual mode(tiptronic) Altima is overall a better car.

  • from 1st to 2nd gear ur ruff lol ......but still not bad...shit is niceeee

  • impressive. And good thing you didnt get that crappy CVT. I know the CVT takes about 6.5 sec

  • camrys faster 0-60 in 5.7

  • rare 6 speed, nice!almost as quick as my 06 ser!

  • damn buddy! thats quite a bit faster than the last V6!

  • How did you talk the managers into getting you the 6 spd. When I worked at Nissan, my managers wouldn't order you it even if you sucked their dicks seven times over.

  • It was 1 of 2 6spd in San Diego county when I was shopping. I told them that if I was to buy another nissan, it would be have to have a VQ and a manual. If those two things couldnt be met, I had no interest

  • whats faster the 07 max or this altima

  • the Altima, unless the Max had more mods for power

  • aaah ok

  • Is the Altima with a stick shift as fast as the Mazda Speed3?

  • wouldnt know. I guess it would depend on if the MS3 was modded or not. I would think stock vs stock, the Altima maybe slightly faster, but thats just a guess

  • fast and nice car btw good shifting

  • Could have been faster....he rode the clutch on the 1-2 upshift.....

  • That's seems to be on par with my 09 camry se v6.What rpm were u launching @ ?

  • Nice altima

    i got one but it has the CVT in it which sucks

    have fun with yours

  • I think altima's v6 offer great power for the money, nice vid! How did you count your 0-60 time, any electronic device?

  • watched the video when I got home, and timed each run multiple times with a stop watch.

  • yeah, if you speed up the camera

  • how much is insurance i want to get on off the cars

  • I pay $92 per month full coverage

  • first i ment to write 3.5 not 4.5. and it is faster that both evo and sti AS LONG AS IT IS NOT FROM A DEAD STOP. u just cannot beat the awd launches they both produce. and the new altima coupe and accord coupe are almost the same. the accord is a lil faster. but altima 3.5s absoluty haul ass.

  • Actually, according to tests done by C&D and others, the Altima coupe is considerably faster, but the Accord coupe handles better. I don't know where you got that the Accord was faster. The Altima's 1/4 times are better. 0-60 is almost the same.

  • I never go by what a magazine says. My car is not the same car they tested, so I will either be slower or faster than what they tested. To this day, Never had a coupe beat me in a race

  • Well I do know that the Accord beats it on the 0-60, but I've also seen them race at higher speeds and from 3rd gear on, the Altima coupe (has to be a coupe 6 spd and not a CVT or Sedan) eventually pulls away. It's to be expected. It has almost 30HP more and has higher torque.

  • Don't underestimate the sedans just because it has 4 drs. the CVT is the only draw back, which is why I got a manual

  • My G37 will beat you in a race.

  • your point being?

  • You said you haven't lost to a coupe. My coupe will rape yours.

  • Yeah, a G35. Never said anything about a G37.

  • people really under etimate the new 4.5 altimas, especially the 6 dpeed. their rediculas their so fast. easily smoking sti's evo's srt-4's eclipse's. the only other v-6s that are as fast are the 350z and the g35. both also with the vq35

  • sti's evo's??? i dont thinks so. my 08 accord coupe 3.5 6spd is just as fast.

  • Well, lets clarify this. A stock evo, sti, GSX or GST Eclipse, or the SRT-4 Neon will be beaten by the 6spd Manual 3.5 altimas. Even off the line if you can control your launch. Now if they are modded, forget it. Better off racing from a roll if you want to stand a chance

  • just going by numbers im pretty sure you would need just a shitty driver in the sti or evo for the 3.5 manual altima to beat it, ESPECIALLY off the line. ive never heard of a stock 3.5 altima doing a 4.7-4.8 0-60 launch.

  • I would agree with you to a point. See like most people, they base what their car does, on what some test car did. face it, most of the people who have the cars listed above cant really drive them. so a "slower car" can still win, and I normally do. But I do have A LOT of AWD friends, and the stock ones it is always a driver's race

  • good point...touché my good sir lol

  • auto camry got 0-60 in 5.7. ALl that wasted effort for nothing

  • Never seen a camry pull anything under 6 seconds in a 0-60. I will admit, I love the look of the newer Camry with the euro kit. As long as its a V6, I would roll one anytime

  • search camry 0-60 in 5.7. You'll see

  • I posted a video comment on that vid a while back. I timed it, and I got over 6 seconds to 60mphs

  • you gotta time it from when the speedo starts moving. He torque braked it, so the rpms went up first.

  • I did, i tried it multiple times. Never watched the Tach. It was always over 6 secs.

  • I did the same, no chance a camry could break 6 seconds on stock everything.

  • Too bad it's not stock!

    You guys are all pretty much wrong, HEH.

  • lol @ ur camera falling off

  • Alot of you guys are talking shit about the way he is shifting. Well seeing is that the pros get this to 60 in 5.9 I would say he did a real good job getting a 5.8. So shut the fuck up cause you probably got a car that would get killed by his 4 Alti

  • Jamaican

  • guyanese? either way, nice clip.

  • Kickass dude, that is probably one the best sounding v6's along with the 3.8L series II from GM....

  • sorry i ment slow not late

  • that shift was waaaay late

  • First pull was the best one. Those altimas are real nice. i wanted to get 3.5 v6 also. Hey I can see you at the end of the video taking a picture.

  • Love the car, I plan on getting the exact same one just a 08 coupe 3.5. I'm dying to buy it, its such an amazing car for the money.

  • hey, is the intake you installed void the warrenty in anyway? cuz im thinken bout putting one on mine. and how much and where could i find it

  • what mods?

  • at the time, just an intake and grounding wires

  • Thanks for posting the video! I have an 08 2.5SL w/CVT. I would have opted for a 3.5 but gas is killing me. Don't pay attention to the haters below. They're probably just getting into middle school, guaging from the grammar used and context. Or drive a 1996 Toyota Corolla with hubcap spinners. HAHAHA

  • nice car man- not a huge fan of nissans, but the altima's a good car- considering it's naturally aspirated, no superchargers or turbos, I know it's got 270 hp, + about...9-10 hp gain from the cold air intake? how much torque though?

  • Its fine. And if it broke, Oh well. Its just a car. and there is a warranty.

  • This isn't the ford taurus that you're probably used to hearing about not lasting long.

  • Did you time it using a Gtech Pro?

  • i timed it using the video camera

  • wow i bet this fag put like 10 turbochargers in it and it just got under 6 sec.

  • you are too funny!

  • They run to 60 in like 5.9 sec stock...

  • Sounds about right. between 6.2-5.9 secs stock depending on driver, road conditions, temperature, tires, and a few other variables.

  • 0:24 clucth slip

  • I'm lovin this Altima...

  • Awesome Car man! Very quick for a v6!

  • What is the top speed of this car?

  • is this a the new (KIA)

  • IMO, the Altima's V6 sounds 10x better than the Camry's V6. The Altima is simply the more competent car this time around.

  • mods?

  • when I did this vid, Only mod I had was a WAI I built. Nothing special.

  • wow nice

  • 5.8

  • well i think you'll beat my car (08 SE-R Spec V) but there's no much difference i make 0-60 in 6.4 usually, but sometimes in 6.2 as best!!! i smoke the CVT tranny!!! anyways nice pulls!!!

  • sorry 5.88 or 6.88 codn tell.....?

  • I just love these cars. I have a 2.5S CVT, and enjoy the hell out of it. She also gets great gas mileage. Does the 3.5 require premium fuel?

  • doesnt require, but its recommended. But with prices what they are, i think im gonna be using 89 once in awhile

  • easy with the childish bickering, try to keep it civil. I personally would never buy a Hyundai, but its just my preference.

  • 2008 & 2009 Hyundai Genesis coupe & sedan with 310HP & 375HP RWD is coming soon. $25,000 Hyundais will kill lots of those Altimas on the street.

  • nissans suck but hyundais suck more... i would never by a korean made car....

  • Sonata is made in Alabama.

  • Yes I am aware of that.. Hyundai is light years behind Honda/Toyota in make quality and overall appeal... Hyundai just plain out sucks... End of Story...

  • Price also light years behind too. Hyndai's actual sold price are $6,000 to $7,000 less than Honyodas, and still get better JD power initial quality ratings.

  • You don't have to. There are plenty of people buying one, and there will be more due to Economic Reccesion. Soon people won't be able to buy anything but Chinese cars. Only lucky ones will be able to buy korean made cars.

  • what do you work for hyundai?? or are you korean??? Old saying in Life... You get what you pay for and Hyundai is cheap as it gets.. so please do not disrespect HONDA by comparing the two company...

  • Do you work for Honda?? or Japanese then?

    I had 2001 Acura MDX for years. Brand new for $43,000, keep having engine stalling problem only with 50,000 miles on it. Dealership could not find reason Y. I got rid of it in 2004 because my wife almost had an accident from engine problem on HYW. When the engine stalls, brake and steering wheel not work good and cause major accident. Since then, I'm not paying more just for the name anymore.

  • Truth hurts. Not only JD power, but also Consumer Report picked 2 Hyundai cars as best pick. Your beloved Honda had only 1 best pick. You argue with feeling, but my argue have backup to prove it.

  • Let's see. Average American make less than I do and still buy Toyotas and Hondas for about $6,000 more than my Hyundais. Those Average American also have $7,000 cerdit card dept alone that I don't have. Lots of those people losing their jobs,houses, and cars because of economic reccesion. On the other hand, My both cars are paid off and I'm paying extra on my morgage. You see the patten here? Whos smart one? Its a nonsense that my tax helps jobless & bankrupt Honyoda owners. HAHAHA!

  • Quite possibly instead of bashing other peoples cars, you should consider taking an English grammar class. I can't even begin to fathom the quantity of grammatical imperfections within your comment!

  • Just let you know. Toyota sale down 10% and Honda down 4% last month. On the other hand, Hyundai sold 2% up in March. Weather you like it or not, economic reccesion makes people smarter I quess.

  • Hyundai would be very proud of you...

  • Thanks.

  • For all u Hyundai lovers A Sonata cant touch an Altima, I raced a V-6 one and killed it, look up the stats, there about as fast as a 06 Sentra SE-R Spec-V I used to have one. As for the new Hyundai coupe there comeing out with, the biggest engine that u can get in it is the 310HP V-6 which in reports says still does 0-60 In around 6 seconds The 375HP V-8 is for the Sedan

  • AS far as I know, nobody check 0-60 on new Genesis coupe yet. Not even in Korea yet. you are making up the story.
