Coming from a fellow owner of a 09 coupe se manual I can say it is a very fun car to drive and the torque like u stress really plays it role when it comes to racing. I catch so many ppl of guard they didn’t know what hit em. Love this car to death don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it. You don’t see too many manuals out there when u find em. They are gems let me tell you. I got mine with 86k on the dash and man has it been a dream since then. Up to bout 105k replaced alternator so Ik what a pain that is haha and one more thing they sound so freakin good. All I did to mine is cut off the muffler and she puresss🦁🦁
Hard to find parts sometimes. Most parts houses don't recognize this as a different car from the sedan. Note: cv shaft is different and hard to find. Measure before attempting to install. I've learned to pull the part and use Rock Auto, compare to on line photos. Clutch is different too. Replacing the clutch diy is not for the faint of heart. A month of weekends. Engine/tranny out the bottom and remove all suspension, steering rack, frame members.
I was going to buy a 350Z but I REALLY needed more space, and don’t care about RWD, so I got a sedan 3.5 Altima 🤍 The most comfortable car I have ever driven!
No room for a supercharger in the engine compartment. Engine is transverse mounted, so it would be sideways anyway. Serpentine belt is right up against the passenger side coilover. No room. Forget all that, put in a stage 2 clutch, 4000 to 6000 rpm happens so quick, you don't need boost. Biggest downside is the computer won't let you shift right. Computer holds the throttle open between shifts limiting shift speed and putting unnecessary wear on the clutch.
I feel the same about stick shit vehicles because I've had a stick shift since my first car when I was 16 and I worked at Honda as a lot attendant and was disappointed in the paddle shifting because if I felt like getting close to redline it would shift for me which was a let down but when some people would rather take the easier route and get an automatic. I personally feel when everyone is learning to get their license that everyone should learn on a manual transmission so they at least know how if they ever ended up in a situation where they needed to drive one.
I've been wanting to get my hands on a 2012 v6 6spd, that was the last year they made v6 coupes so they're very rare in that configuration. Been searching autotempest for months.
They will only be harder and harder to find! :( Best of luck on your search. I hope one eventually pops up for you it's an amazing unique car! Not the fastest but definitely has a lot of character.
I never see any in Ontario . If I do there pre 2011 so no face lift and 90% are 2.5 . I've seen maybe 3 pre 2011 manual v6coupes. It's honestly hard to find a car to match in practicality and fun. Most the time u don't need more then 2 seats but if u do there is room in back and the back folds all the way down if u need Trunk is deep but shallow where the speakers and siding come down. Motor and trans are bullet proof. Because it's fwd with good snows it's easier in the winter esp on hills and has a easy on off traction Button. On .. off. .on.. off. Different gearing then 350, I've gotten as low as 7 litres per 100 km or as high 16( not driving like a human being who should care about there car but hey racetracks). gas mileage commuting. Manual v6coupes parts are more $ but it's so reliable that the things I did fix weren't that bad .sway bar end links , wheel bearing , brake caliber all fairly average . Love Chanel exhaust sounds good, one of the best features of Vq motors
Bro i hv jst bought 2009 altima 3.5 nissa coupe bt i hv question in the winter when battery dies en then u charge it 4 lke 24 hrs bt still ur doors r not opening,i wanna know whats the issue hre.
Sounds like you need a new battery. If it’s not that definitely get a diagnostic done because it could be your alternator, something not shutting off when you shut the car off, or faulty wiring.
This car is definitely a sleeper to the insurance companies and it wasn't very popular even during it's time. So rate should be cheap being that not many people crash these cars. In fact, my Dad didn't even think this was a capable fast car until we test drove it LOL. Little did he know it has a detuned 350z engine ;)
@TFK ray I feel you. I love the VQ engine series, but everything else about the car has also been trying times for me as well but that's really any car. My power steering system and radiator failed. Eventually my alternator died an clutch burned out in the middle of the road. These things gotta get replaced at some point.
@TFK ray I haven't had to replace my coolant yet except when I blew a radiator, but I would only recommend factory spec or better. it doesn't matter what color it is as long as it's the right type for your radiator.
I would definitely get service records on the transmission/clutch. My clutch burned out at 120k so that car you're looking at might be nearing it's limit if they didnt replace the clutch already. If it did get a new clutch I'd say that's an amazing deal. These VQ engines are tanks and will serve their purpose for as long as you need if you take care of them!
I own the same year & model SE 6spd they had to turn the engine sideways to fit the 3.5 in the coupe, that’s why the alternator & oil pan are in such awkward positions. Absolutely love her to death though.
Dont these got vtec also is the only main difference in the sr from se the body and some interior cuz im gonna pick up a 2012 3.5 sr manual nice red interior
I've always stuck to BOSE. But sound is all up to your preference. Generally speaking as long as you have a warranty or you're covered, you can't make a wrong choice here.
I bought a 2012 Altima coupe one owner with 100k all paperwork. I put 37k on it in 15 months and then the transmission died. Luckily I bought a warranty and got a free transmission out of it. Body still looks great too! I agree on all your points. Only thing I have an automatic lol
Wow that's amazing. Hey even if it's an auto, that's not what makes or breaks this car 🕺🏽 I guess I should get a warranty as I'm passing 150k and nothing major has broken yet (except my motor mounts). Need to get those fixed before I can go back to the drag strip :(
I have a 2008 3.5 m/t kind of rusty underneath and some rust spots on the side. Im notsure how to fix the rust underneath but yeah I just modded mine I have DC Sports SRI, Racingline short throw kit, and custom 2.5" catback single exit Greddy Revolution RS. Might get a OBX Headers with the y pipe. I love this car
Very nice! Rust is super expensive to paint over if that's what you're itching to do. If you just want to clean it and don't care about repainting, it may not be as expensive. I also love the Altima 3.5 over the current years 350Z/370Z's because they are tuned to have max torque sooner. I love peeling off lights and don't really care about highway racing. It's the hooligan in me xD. Torque is the spice of life.
@@Trinity-di9fc just don't buy a cvt Auto I won't shit on anyone for buying auto but the cvt Auto transmission is the same trans that had the law suit against it
I can't remember but it's no longer available. When I went to go buy more on Amazon it was out of stock permanently! You could probably find more exhaust with the same 3 inch dual shape though they are a commodity :)
Cosmos muffler shop in boynton did custom exhaust work for me. I got my quad tips from amazon but they are no longer sold. Typhoon cold air If I missed anything, this video covers the rest ruclips.net/video/673-j-Gl4Mg/видео.html
hey man im a nooby when it comes to this stuff but im thinking about gettiing a 2008 coupe. what do you think is a good price range for the car. i want the 3.5 se and i think i could get it but not a manual. i dont know how to drive manual but if its not that hard of a learning experience i think i could do it. all the information helps. thanks and love the sound. also would love to know how hard it would be to get a good sound in it. like what i would need to do and prices and stuff. i know this is a lot of info so if its too much sorry
First of all Triton, thank you so much for subscribing! Secondly it is never too much. I absolutely love reading through comments 😁 I will reply with some advice in my next comment! In fact I may end up making an instructional video on just that
Now, concerning the Altima you are seeking to purchase, I am heavily biased against the CVT technology in nissan. Especially older years because the technology was newer and less developed around that time. If the car is closer to 100k or over that milage and there are no reported service records for a transmission service such as the CVT belt, I would personally avoid that car. These CVT have proven them selves not as reliable as the manual models and they are much more costly to repair. I had to get a new clutch at 120k miles and it costs about 1,200 after labor. I can't imagine how much a new CVT belt would be plus all the other components like torque converters etc. I do encourage you to get a manual V6. The 2.5 models are nice but the engine is not as proven as the VQ 3.5 engine. Those engines are super reliable and can be beaten to death because of how over engineered they are. As far as pricing anything near the blue book value is fine. If you choose to get a CVT I would definitely buy a 3rd party warranty for that transmission so you are covered the day something happens. I actually learned to drive manual on my Altima. Go to an empty parking lot. Practice starting and stopping. With and without the accelerator. Then practice starting fast and stopping fast. Then add a shift or two. Getting out of first gear is always the hardest thing to learn but once you master that the rest comes naturally. 90% of manual driving all boils down to your clutch work :)
The Magic Jellybean so even after I buy a Manual 3.5 around 100-120k miles I should be expecting to pay money on a belt being around 1200. That’s pretty scary considering I wouldn’t have extra money after I bought the car. Is there a warranty that I can get for the belt (or what ever it is) that I could get that way I wouldn’t be worried about anything.
@@SageXteriorCleaning There are third party warranties available if you did a Google search. I don't know the name but there are many small/big companies willing to offer extended warranties to cover big maintenance jobs if you pay month to month similar to having insurance. If it is an automatic, I'm not saying it's guaranteed to break at a specific mileage, but I would recommend finding yourself prepared rather than not prepared! And just to be specific here, I don't mean the timing belt. I've driven my car for 150k now still on the same timing belt. I'm sure it's long past due, but the thing to watch out for is the CVT transmission belt if it's an auto.
The fins I got from a random online retailer... Don't remember who but those fins are common on amazon/ebay. I got mine for $10 for a 10-pack The spoiler was there when I bought the car but I found it on the "card-ID" website. The manufacturers name starts with a J but I don't remember their whole name. You'll know it when you see it.
I came across this while looking stuff up for 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE, because i found one for sale near me, and i've been thinking about buying it, if i can get the money and buy it then it would be my very first car
The v6 engine is excellent for you my friend! Seriously this car is like a go kart off the red light. Just expect to get pulled on after 4th gear. The Altima doesn't have the same level of top end as it's 350 brother or other v6 cars like the mustang
man i miss the 09 altima i had but im glad it died cuz now i can figure out what im gonna do if i get one of those again im getting a 3.5se with a aftermarket bumper and grill those are my first mods
I can't imagine it would be too difficult. but the easier thing to do, or I guess more stress free way would be to buy a 3.5 and sell your 2.5 as far as supporting components such as fuel pumps, ECUs, transmissions a quick internet search would tell you what you would need to do if you really want to swap engines. I have no experience there
YES that new 400Z is looking spicy. Highly considering it as my next or 3rd car. Although I'd rather spend $40,000+ on a used C7 Corvette Stingray (with 30k or less miles) before I get a 400Z
Ayo! How's it going man. Thank you for hitting that SUB button! RUclips is filled with content creators and it's an honor that you choose to spend a bit of time here on this channel 😎
The G35 has different tail lights and an all around different body profile, it also has a pretty outdated looking center console in my opinion. Though it is much faster stock and has a nice looking engine bay I'd still pick this Altima over it simply because, in certain configurations, it's rare. Particularly the 2012 v6 manual. Besides if speed is really what you're after you can always engine swap, you should always tune your car before you dress it.
It boils down to what you want or need out of your car. The Altima Coupe was never the fastest but it has max torque at 4200 RPM has UNIQUE body paneling that were custom made for this platform and has two seats in the back. During this time (2008-2013) many coupes were just the same paneling and framework as their sedan counterpart, but Nissan went out of their way to build a slightly different frame and panels for this car so that it stands out from the sedan. Go look at other coupes like the Honda Accord / BMW Coupes and you will see the styling is the exact same down to the screws, with the exception of the door position. The Altima coupe shares almost nothing with the sedan. if you tried to swap parts it wouldn't fit. It's also a sleeper for the insurance companies. They think it's just another Altima little did they know it's quick as hell (quick not fast). I was racing a 2018 Audi S5 (V6 turbo AWD automatic) from a dig at a red light and we were neck and neck until I was near the end of 4th gear. Granted I have a cold air intake and an exhaust and lighter wheels thats pretty impressive for "just another Altima" The most fun you will have with this car is off the lights. The 350Z and other V6 cars like the Infinity are tuned to have more HP, but the Altima's engine was detuned for more torque. The ironic thing was I was actually looking for a G35 for my first car, but they were either too far or too expensive. I saw one of these cars driving down the street one day and looked it up. I was first annoyed that it was FWD because i wanted a RWD car, but I'm glad I didn't get the infinity. After I found out the engine was detuned I had a blast. The more I researched about the car and learned about it's unique qualities, the more I began to appreciate it for what it was which was unique. It's not trying to be a true sports car. If it was, they would have tuned it differently. It's a car that happens to be sporty and look unique compared to it's sedan counterpart.
Diswazzi lol... g35 coupe is actually noticeable slower than the Altima coupe 3.5. It weighs 100-200 lbs more and generally gets 0-60 times in the high 5 to low 6 region. The Altima coupe tends to record about a .2 second advantage. It has essentially the same engine. Plus the fwd gets more force to the wheels. The g37 coupe is a bit faster however. One thing I would say is that any of these coupes will be much more fun and FEEL much faster in the rare 6mt for a good driver.
@@druutv1982 You're giving G35s too much credit lol. 100hp? Where'd u get that? It's like the other guy said, Altimas are 100-200lbs lighter and weight is always a factor. And let's not forget about drivetrain loss. V6 Altimas make around the same power as a DE G35. DE Rev-up would be close but with an HR, there's no chance an Altima would win. Both are great cars regardless
Yep the CVT even in 2020 models is still the biggest letdown/fail. Nissan would do so much better if they just went back to traditional reliable 6-8 speed autos.
Techbically yes to do. Even stock for stock the 350/370 has more torque (though it can be argued the 370 has more cubic capacity) . But my point in this video is that the max torque of the 350/370 is much higher in the RPM band so you have to work harder to get the same amount of torque or better from the Altima coupes. The Altima coupe torque hits as early as 2.5 RPM in nearly every up to 4th and you can definitely feel it. I've driven a few 350z test driving from dealerships back when I was deciding between the 350Z and the Altima Coupe and I never got that same sensation That's what I love about the coupe. More torque sooner, but I would never expect to smoke a higher revving car on a straightaway
Coming from a fellow owner of a 09 coupe se manual I can say it is a very fun car to drive and the torque like u stress really plays it role when it comes to racing. I catch so many ppl of guard they didn’t know what hit em. Love this car to death don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it. You don’t see too many manuals out there when u find em.

I came across this while looking stuff up for 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE, because i found one for sale near me, and i've been thinking about buying it, if i can get the money and buy it then it would be my very first car
The v6 engine is excellent for you my friend! Seriously this car is like a go kart off the red light. Just expect to get pulled on after 4th gear. The Altima doesn't have the same level of top end as it's 350 brother or other v6 cars like the mustang
@@TheMagicJellybean9 maybe next time, unfortunately the car had already been sold before i was able to get the money for it
@@andrewosbourn RIP get a gen 3.8 coupe if you want to hoon around in a RWD car and have 4 seats like the Altima 🤣
man i miss the 09 altima i had but im glad it died cuz now i can figure out what im gonna do if i get one of those again im getting a 3.5se with a aftermarket bumper and grill those are my first mods
Anyone know how complicated it would be to engine swap a 2.5 Altima with the 3.5 engine
I can't imagine it would be too difficult. but the easier thing to do, or I guess more stress free way would be to buy a 3.5 and sell your 2.5
as far as supporting components such as fuel pumps, ECUs, transmissions a quick internet search would tell you what you would need to do if you really want to swap engines. I have no experience there
I’m getting a 3.5 Nissan next week !!
i have a 2012 sedan 3.5sr and i am thinking of getting a coupe 3.5sr :D but also that new Z though :(
YES that new 400Z is looking spicy. Highly considering it as my next or 3rd car. Although I'd rather spend $40,000+ on a used C7 Corvette Stingray (with 30k or less miles) before I get a 400Z
Why’d I never get a notification for this video?
The same reason RUclips will recommend you a video of a Nintendo-DS playing daft punk 8 years later 😂
how many miles do oyu have on that thing
Right now, I've got roughly 149k! The miles are climbing!
im at 154
What year is your altima
This is 2008, first gen :-)
hay bro its richardson the great
Ayo! How's it going man.

Why not just get a g35 they look exactly alike and it’s cheaper and faster
The G35 has different tail lights and an all around different body profile, it also has a pretty outdated looking center console in my opinion. Though it is much faster stock and has a nice looking engine bay I'd still pick this Altima over it simply because, in certain configurations, it's rare. Particularly the 2012 v6 manual. Besides if speed is really what you're after you can always engine swap, you should always tune your car before you dress it.
It boils down to what you want or need out of your car. The Altima Coupe was never the fastest but it has max torque at 4200 RPM has UNIQUE body paneling that were custom made for this platform and has two seats in the back.
During this time (2008-2013) many coupes were just the same paneling and framework as their sedan counterpart, but Nissan went out of their way to build a slightly different frame and panels for this car so that it stands out from the sedan. Go look at other coupes like the Honda Accord / BMW Coupes and you will see the styling is the exact same down to the screws, with the exception of the door position. The Altima coupe shares almost nothing with the sedan. if you tried to swap parts it wouldn't fit.
It's also a sleeper for the insurance companies. They think it's just another Altima little did they know it's quick as hell (quick not fast). I was racing a 2018 Audi S5 (V6 turbo AWD automatic) from a dig at a red light and we were neck and neck until I was near the end of 4th gear. Granted I have a cold air intake and an exhaust and lighter wheels thats pretty impressive for "just another Altima"
The most fun you will have with this car is off the lights. The 350Z and other V6 cars like the Infinity are tuned to have more HP, but the Altima's engine was detuned for more torque.
The ironic thing was I was actually looking for a G35 for my first car, but they were either too far or too expensive. I saw one of these cars driving down the street one day and looked it up. I was first annoyed that it was FWD because i wanted a RWD car, but I'm glad I didn't get the infinity. After I found out the engine was detuned I had a blast. The more I researched about the car and learned about it's unique qualities, the more I began to appreciate it for what it was which was unique.
It's not trying to be a true sports car. If it was, they would have tuned it differently. It's a car that happens to be sporty and look unique compared to it's sedan counterpart.
Diswazzi lol... g35 coupe is actually noticeable slower than the Altima coupe 3.5. It weighs 100-200 lbs more and generally gets 0-60 times in the high 5 to low 6 region. The Altima coupe tends to record about a .2 second advantage. It has essentially the same engine. Plus the fwd gets more force to the wheels. The g37 coupe is a bit faster however. One thing I would say is that any of these coupes will be much more fun and FEEL much faster in the rare 6mt for a good driver.
@@datacipher lmaoo the G35 gaps the Altima by 100 hp or more. That 200 pound difference still doesn't help much in the long run
@@druutv1982 You're giving G35s too much credit lol. 100hp? Where'd u get that? It's like the other guy said, Altimas are 100-200lbs lighter and weight is always a factor. And let's not forget about drivetrain loss. V6 Altimas make around the same power as a DE G35. DE Rev-up would be close but with an HR, there's no chance an Altima would win. Both are great cars regardless
Resonator and muffler delete?
Stock headers/downpipe ... everything else gone! 3" pipe the whole way
sexxxxxxxxxxxyyyyy man i have an 2012 max same moter but i hate the cvt so i am going to Manuel swap
Yep the CVT even in 2020 models is still the biggest letdown/fail. Nissan would do so much better if they just went back to traditional reliable 6-8 speed autos.
I just finished shooting a video about my dislikes and I forgot to put the CVT on there LOL oh well
My 370z has more torque then you lol
Techbically yes to do. Even stock for stock the 350/370 has more torque (though it can be argued the 370 has more cubic capacity)
.
But my point in this video is that the max torque of the 350/370 is much higher in the RPM band so you have to work harder to get the same amount of torque or better from the Altima coupes. The Altima coupe torque hits as early as 2.5 RPM in nearly every up to 4th and you can definitely feel it. I've driven a few 350z test driving from dealerships back when I was deciding between the 350Z and the Altima Coupe and I never got that same sensation
That's what I love about the coupe. More torque sooner, but I would never expect to smoke a higher revving car on a straightaway
