You might be fine without any upgrades. Do the big three, just in case.

Skip the cap.

that alt will run it decently, but consider getting an H/O alt and it will do more power.... btw... sorry for the tread jacking, but, how much did u get ur altima for? what trim? and how much can i find a 02-03 Altima out there for, ive searched but all diff prices, not by little but by alot.
