The oem subframe looks light and well designed. Nice jig though. Have you found another l31 for the front suspension? You might look for an ser spec for the front. Probably has bigger brakes, caliper bores, and front swaybar to go with the ser 18 inch wheels. Looks like you could make a ubj adapter brkt that still retains the swaybar endlink about half as long. Probably need to put the ubj outboard of the strut flange to minimize scrub for your wheel offset and tire size.
The front subframe is light and well designed. I should just utilize it as is but it's not the right look for the build. As for the front suspension I plan to use the Miata setup that is laid out in the Midlana book.

I hope you got everything you might need off the Altima. Not sure if the engine and trans ecu needs any other computers. Probably need the oem ecu to keep the automatic happy.
I have pulled every piece of wiring from the car.

Check out Egomans dodge intrepid build if you have not already.

Thanks for the input
