May 16, 2007 - I tried out Meguiar's NXT tech wax spray. it doesn't wipe off as easily as Eagle One's "Wax as you dry", and it didn't seem to fill all the small swirl marks as well either. but it'll be enough to protect the car from the tree sap for now.

Dyno Day June 3rd, 2005. I wanted a baseline dyno for my car before i upgraded to my HKS turbo. Everything stock except from the ECU, pod filter and cat back exhaust. It came out what i expected. 162whp/170w ft-lbs or 200.9chp/209.1cft-lbs. the power band being over 160whp from 5300rpm to 6000rpm, and torque band over 160ft lbs from 3950rpm to 5250rpm.

ALTIMA FAN WIRING: i paired the blue and greens and used black as ground, and ran the yellow in the cabin. this is a pull setup. I also thank Zilvia.net for the actual diagram.
