My carpc will take about 80w max.

55w vs 35w is 80w extra total (20w per bulb x 2 sides, x 2 per side, high/low and fogs)
But my mono amp isn't that big, I think it's like 3XX? W/RMS

With the HIDs I believe it converts the power inside the ballast so you aren't technically having to generate any extra power. It's just taking the +V in and converting it to put out 55w which would be the same V consumption as the 35w

You can't make power out of thin air. Usually, HIDs are rated by how much they draw, a 35w draws 35w and outputs as much light as a 55w halogen, even though it doesn't actually output all 35w it draws from the electrical system into the bulb. (there is always loss when you convert power like a HID ballast does)
A 55w HID still draws more power from the electrical system than a 35w.

You're fine. I have 2 12's which draw a max of 800w and I've never had the lights flicker or anything.

Hopefully. I guess I'm just used to my Trans Am that had a 160A alternator, so I never had to worry about it (plus, I could jump start a diesel )

So, I'm about to do a drain/fill on the transmission... should I go with Mobile1 Synthetic ATF (compatible/exceeds Nissan specs) or Nissan Matic-S ????
And is Matic-S synthetic???

You have a manual, you're not allowed to have an opinion

Do you have a tangible reason for saying that?

I've seen several people run other fluids in the Nissan transmission and claim to have no trouble...

A few people here have used diferent oils, and noticed that the car wasnt shifting right and have went back to matic s and the problem stoped.

^ yep, the main reason Id never try anything different. Fluid is cheap in respect to how much the transmission costs.
