craigslist is your friend.

also, you can always go with a trunk rack, instead of roof rack.

When you change the oil & filter, do you put any oil into the new oil filter? My stepdad keeps saying I need to put some into the filter but I honestly don't think you have to put any into the filter. I've watched videos ect & they never seem to do it

^You can do that, considering there is a short time while the engine is filling up the new filter, that it has only residual oil to lube some of the components... however, you're not causing a hugely excessive amount of wear by doing so. There are plenty of people that have gotten 200k+ out of a car, never filling the oil filter.
You also have to consider that Nissan has the VQ designed with the filter mounting sideways, so it's really hard to put much oil in it and then get it put on and screwed down without making a mess.
If it was a GM, where it mounted straight up-and-down, I'd say go for it, but it's just too much trouble trying to screw a filter full of oil on at a 90 degree angle without making a mess.

They're fine. Most people don't even care (at least I don't) if they're varrstoen or some other replica.

The issue starts when people put legit stickers on the replicas.

Personally though, I'd get white ones. I just love the look of white TE37 (or reps) on black cars.

Ex: (not a g35, but who cares, its biitchin)

Yeah I really wish I could afford those TE37 sl's but I'm in college so I'll take what I can get =P

Mostly worried about the quality...obviously I'm not expecting forged quality...guess as long as it holds up I'd be fine with it
