Hey everybody, I was just wondering what mods I can do to make my 1994 Maxima GXE faster. I am kinda on a budget. I put in a K&N panel filter so far. Please tell me some cheaper things to make my car faster.0-60 in 9.8 secs feels really slow!

 

well, is yours a VG or VE? If it's a VG, there's not a whole lot you can do...but a VE, hehehehehe -

 

Throw it off a cliff... seriously, the gxe is slow you should just sell it and get a faster car.

 

buy a Honda!

or check the Max Faqs--> https://maxima.org/maxfaqs/index.shtml

 

i like my gxe thank you

it's comfy, dependable, and drives great. perhaps it is kinda slow, but who races 24/7 anyways?

anyways, you have to give us your definition of "cheap". that K&N panal gives you minimum gain at most. For about 20-30 bucks, you can get a cone filter and adapter from ebay. you'll see more gains there.

then there's always advancing the timing. that's practically a free mod. you can go here to learn more about advancing timings. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte671n/mymax.html

while you're there, browse around that site. Craig has LOTS of useful info on his page.

 

I felt the same way about my gxe...until I got my SE

 

remember the most cost efective mod is 5spd swap

 

*cough*sell out*cough*



BTW... I'd check out this thread if I were you...

 

hey jaykid806 dont let anyone tell you that you have a slow car. But dont expect large gains without spending some money. boost the hell out of that thing. you dont want a VE, stick with a real motor and that is what you have.

 

what do you mean a real motor buddy i got a ve and its a very tough competer against even 5spd vq so watch your mouth

 

Hey not knocking on you. just VE guys talk alot of **** to VG guys and they dont have anything to back it up and i have been sent with my VG to **** all VE's off and to send all of them packing wondering why i just got beat by a VG auto When they are saying in there minds but i have a ticking time bomb called a VE and it should be running atleast mid 11's.

 

Well...

Let's run a spraying VE vs your spraying VG then, eh?

 

No kidding. If you want to make your car fast, just think that it is fast. If you believe it in your mind, then you have the fastest car on this board........

5 speed swap? Who's doing that?

 

Why dont you get some juice and we will test that idea. You send all spraying VE's down to NC. i bet i will hear them ticking before they get here.

 

 

No ticking on my VE 5spd monster

Although it does need a new KS pretty bad...

Oh twell....I'm pretty confident I'll have the slips come the end of the summer to show off my low 14 second Maxima
