i have access to a 2003 coupe for parts

i drive a 2003 sedan. as a preemptive measure - what parts do you think i should try to buy that i don't need (yet). my car has 82k.

recently my car went into limp mode after i had my throttle body and MAF sensor cleaned. i did the idle reset + ECU clear, but i got the check engine light again after a while. so i'm think one of those got screwed up so those are on my list.

any other suggestions?

never thought about the seats...what's so special about them? is it a direct fit on to the sedan?

i have a 350z midpipe so it's probably the same as the coupe.

Midpipe is basically the same you have already, just 8" longer

Get the seats...and then send me a couple things that I need off the car

What about the suspension? It's a little lower than the sedan... not quite as good an upgrade as Z suspension, but slightly better than stock.

Regarding the seats. Installing coupe seats in a sedan is a little tricky. I recommend you pm TTRANK (I hope you dont mind Timmah). If I remember right he had to install them on oppisite sides due to the mounting brakets. Meaning the drivers and the pasenger seat had to be swaped places.

Question for you too, how much do you want for the drivers side airbag from the coupe? Since you have 2003 you will eventually have problems with your climate control system. If that coupe is a newer model you should look into swaping the parts. There is a thread on here showing how to it. If that coupe has some decent wheels then you could swap the rims from the coupe and put them on your sedan (very common mod).

If money is not an issue then you could pull that coupes engine, build it up, and install in your sedan.

I hope that all helps.

If the front end wasn't smashed in then do a coupe front end conversion

Make sure you swap out the filler tube for the washer fluid. They're waaay cooler on the coupe!!
