I just bought a Nissan SL Hatchback 2009 and I am looking to mod it. I already am putting in a touch screen pioneer deck in today but I need help more on maybe getting different wheels, making it faster, things that have to do with anything outside of audio electronics I have no clue about. I work at Best Buy that is why I have no problems with the audio portion, its just making it faster and making it look cooler that I definitely need some help with.

Have you bought anything yet?

 

[Dave01978]

checkout versaspeed.com they have all the cool versa stuff.

and welcome to the site

if you have 5grand to spare then get suspension/brakes/wheels then CF hood/ CF trunk then CAI, Strut bar, Shock brace, rear sway bar then wait for a full cat exhaust and header or you can get the obx header ^_^v

 

[Tubtub]

c/f hood and trunk are little to no performance, all cosmetic in my eyes and arent needed. However i have a c/f hood on Se-r. i wish i never bought one and saved my 600 bucks that it cost.

 

[guitarman1777]

lol dude that was total greek to me. So far I just bought a pioneer in dash and got it installed and I am looking at an AEM cold air intake. I kind of want to take it one step at a time so I am figuring out how to prioritize

 

[Hschlick84]

Does your Versa SL have the convenience package? I thought about changing out the stock HU for an aftermarket one but didn't want to go through the hassle of getting another steering wheel control unit and bluetooth microphone.

 

[pindropsound]

Yay to the convenience package! Bluetooth is pretty much my best friend in my car! Plus audio controls on the steering wheel are awesome!

 

[guitarman1777]

Yea I do have the convience package it does kind of suck I lost the bluetooth but when Pioneer has accomodations for us I can probably buy the adapter for about 20 bucks. I am debating right now between infiniti kappa speakers or tinting the windows. Considering I live in AZ i probably will tint first.

MAKE IT Faster

Alright so i installed the deck which looks sweet ill post pictures later. I was actually able to change the back lighting so it matches the stock dash lighting. I need suggestions to make it faster, the more hp the better. The ideas I have so far is AEM cold air intake and strut bar which I dont know what either of those really are but they sound like they would work.

 

[Hschlick84]

I believe OBX makes a header for the Versa. You can ask superskunk and #1Tango about it, they know more than I do.

 

[Atx_Versa]

The strut bar won't necessarily add speed it will help with handling for sure though.

CAI, Headers and Full Catback Exhaust should help you get started with your goal.

 

[superskunk]

lower your car, it will create less drag, and drasticly reduce the amount of air that flows beneath your car, plus it looks better and feels better in combonation with the strut bar you have.... after that rims and tires....

 

[superskunk]

tint is a must! the stocks really arent that bad, when i had my amp and sub i just used the HFP and it sounded just fine....

 

[Mogh]

Get the tint and lower it. Both are a must.

 

[superskunk]

i merged the 2 threads, they were pretty much about the same topic anyway

 

[guitarman1777]

Alright so I got the CAI and the catback exhaust, any recommended brands for either of those and what exactly are headers. Sorry guys I really am brain dead on all this stuff.

 

[superskunk]

catback? dont you mean axelback? are the emmissions laws in AZ?

 

[Tiidaaaa]

Alright so I got the CAI and the catback exhaust, any recommended brands for either of those and what exactly are headers. Sorry guys I really am brain dead on all this stuff.

A header is the exhaust manifold basically. It's just designed to give better flow characteristics over the more restrictive stock system.

 

[guitarman1777]

alright so what should I do in terms of priority, the plans so far: tint, new infinity kappa speakers, AEM CAI, Catback exhaust, header, lower it, fog lights, new tires, strut bar, rear view camera.
