I'll be complelty honest. The car was babied because it was my daily driver. Once it became a second car I never drove it and when I did it was never pushed. I was always too afraid to break something. (College kid with no money back then). It will need a good tune through the Emanage to get some baseline numbers. Never was brought to the track.
The suspension is KYB AGX shocks paired with Eibach 1.5" lowering springs. The entire front end was done over with poly

Thanks, I have another question... Don't mean to sound offensive but if you where attending college I'm assuming you where 19-22 years old and if so, where did you obtain the knowledge/skill-set being so young to be able to do all the work on the maxima yourself? If I read correctly, you did do it yourself right? I ask because I'm 32 and I've been working on cars my entire life and at the age It was a learning process. I guess to be short, my concern would be with the mechanical end of this vehicle. Thanks.

The major items on the car (subframe change, engine swap with clutch, exhaust work, body work (paint) were done profesionally. Pretty much anything I couldn't achieve in my garage I had done. When the engine was done I took it all apart at my house and had it towed to a shop. I did all the leg work to go get the engine. The shop swapped it over and I had it towed back to my house where I put it all back together. I never got into a project that was over my head. I wasn't in my garage welding exhaUst and bending pipe. The other items I did. Supercharger install, injectors, Emanage install, front mount intercooler, gauges, interior work and misc installs. All the smaller items were me. This maxima is 100% mechanical.

I did all the work myself meaning when I wanted something done on the car I did the research, bought the parts, and had them put in if I couldnt. I never just dropped my car off and said "do the brakes."
I hope it's clarifiyed

Thanks, I'm seriously interested. You say as of right now the motor has around 15k, trans 25k, and body 180k? I'm deciding between this and a 91 300zx twin turbo. Hard decision although yours is a little pricey but I understand why.
