Another Reason I am glad to own a 3rd gen instead of a 4th gen!

Another Reason I am glad to own a 3rd gen instead of a 4th gen!
I have been peeking in the 4th gen area and it scared me to see how all the modds (Modds I hate) that they make for hondas and other rice are starting to be made for 4th gens and 4th gen people like this! Now us 3rd gen owners have to be differant because we have to make are own modds like the headlight convs and stuff, but where as 4th gens they are all mostly staying on the same path.
I am Happy that we 3rd gen owners have more class and less rice
Hiding from 4th gen owners now

It seems to me the people who have their minds on performance know exactly what to do, and use mostly Nissan parts, not aftermarket parts. Yet their still putting out the same amount of power? Wierd..

I disagree, the 4th gens have better mods than 3rd gen and better styling, there is nothing for a 3rd gen out there as far as that goes. All get is a few exhaust mods and an intake!! whooopie!! and I love my car but definately selling it at the end of the year! Not enough to do to it.

Are you sane?
3rd gen styling = timeless
4th gen styling = tired
there is nothing for a 3rd gen out there as far as that goes.
Hmmmm....
Properly valved Tokicos
Y-pipe
Intake
RSB
FSTB
ECU (that actually gains)
5th gen muffler
H4 Headlights (from Maximamike, but I may be wrong on that as of now....it was at one point)
Turbo (doable and less complicated than on a 4th gen)
Show me a VQ turbo that's easy/cheap to do.....
Show me a 4th gen with good gains from an ECU and H4 headlight
availability (the I30 H4 Cefiro upgrade doesn't count)
All get is a few exhaust mods and an intake!! whooopie!! and I love my car but definately selling it at the end of the year! Not enough to do to it.

That's a good point about the cupholders........probably the most irritating thing on the 3rd gen, next to the automatic seatbelts and the ubiquitous button that you have to push to get the key out......
And the good cupholders only came on the 97-99 models.....

maybe it's just me but i think the best maxima out there is the 5th gen. True that they have a nasty *** but minus the *** i think the 5th rocks. As for the 3rd gen, well it's nice but i guess it's just abit too boxy. But hey i habe a 3rd gen myself so i guess it can't be all that bad right

well we tell them to search, so they search. then they find a nice old thread that if they were here a few months ago, they would have replied to...so in there postwhorish little way they try to up their newbie status, show they searched and pw all at the same time. gotta hand it to them...

Well I love my third gen
And I hate the bubble but 4th gen look, but there are far more choices for aftermarket performance parts (not just the ricy no-HP adding crap).
Also, Nissan is beginning to discontinue a lot of stuff for our car (This is very distrubing).
Also, you can't get a decent body kit, that does make your car look like a 2nd gen

Now I just wedge my bottle of soda between the seat belt and the center console!

I wont even compare the bubble but to are high class 3rd Gen. Max's. This is why this is my second 3rd gen
