Hey what's up guys? I don't have a Maxima, but my girlfriend does. She has a rather sweet '99 se Pearl White with black leather interior. The car is stock (for now), we cannot have this. I drive a '95 ///M3 which is heavily modified. I can't stand the site of her bone stock car anymore. I need to do something to it. I don't know much when it comes to Nissans (other than the fact that I NEED a Skyline GT-R) so I require your help. I really want to get her clear front lenses, clear rear lenses (just clear on bottom half), and some performance software. Who makes the best and where can I find them?

Thanks!,

Matthew

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the help. I went to your homepage... Your car is nice as hell. How much HP do you think that it is going to put out once you install the new pulley for the S/C? How much does a S/C cost for a Maxima? For my car they start at 6k (ouch).

Hey Cosmos,

I already changed out the pulley. the page is kinda old. Havent dynoed it yet. The sc cost about 4000 including install. I will update the page one of these days. Right now it is running a 3.48 pulley. we are bumping it down to a 3.33 so it should be boosting close to 9 lbs. I have always loved bimmers though. My little brother has that white one on the page. 328ci with coilovers, all the dinan stuff you can find. he is just waiting for the sc himself. I know they are expensive. **** he spent 250 for brushed aluminum pedal set for the car

With the SC and all of the other mods, the Maxima will make 300+ hp. Just be careful with the transmission when you get that much power.

Maybe I'll just get her a S/C instead...

Or not... I would imagine that the car would be rather hard to control with 300+ hp due to its front wheel drive platform. Do you guys encounter a lot of torque steer? When I floor the '99 the front tends to not want to go where I want it to, and that is with 190hp at the flywheel! Do you guys change your diffs as well? Quaife perhaps?

As long as....

She can handle the noise.

Superchargers: V1 = whiny noise
v2 = car no run, whiny owner.

Clear corners, call courtesy nissan and get their kit.
Clear rear, http://www.maximadriver.com and hackem up yerself.

Noise...

She hates noise (i.e. my car) so I guess a S/C is out of the question. I'm going to try to make the clear rears myself. Hopefully I will not mess the car up too much... Then she will wine for sure!

Not much torque steer in my mind, just gotta have both hands on the wheel LOL. Supposedly cattman is coming out with a production quaife lsd. I know don is using the i30 trans, and some others are using cannibalized tranmissions. it will probably run like 2500 i am guessing. The newer v1's dont have that much noise compared to the older v1's. the v2's have been having a lot of problems. The noise is really under wot. Unless you do exhaust work and then you may encounter some droning. Our car sputters(the only way to describe it) at the rear but sounds like a deep toned turbine in the front. Everyone thinks its a turbo when we race. good luck on those clears
