I always wanted to get one but never could come up with money thru highschool and don't want to get one because I'm in college and don't want stuff to start breaking on me with all that hp.

Formz,
That is my favorite body style DSM. In my opinion they just went downhill after that....
You like the 4x4 look or something? haha. Your Max probably won't be as fast as your DSM but it can definately look more "professional" by installing lowering springs($150) and then adding GR2's(around $350-400 recommended for drop)....Nice choice on your new car and you got an excellent deal man, seriously.
one more thing if you have a chance, check out www.warpspeedperformance.com for getting a Y-PIPE. (Cheapest way to add a ton of power to the wheels!)

Yeah I was honestly thinking about a DSM, but all the insurance BS, and the realibility issues I seen with that dudes dsm kind of scared me. But again his mechanical know how caused most of the **** like venting the bov in the open air without hacking the sensor which caused his car run crazy rich inbetween gears and his terrible driving stick killed two clutches stock one and a 2100. Then he cracked the tranny, got a mistsu tanny put in broke that one and then got it rebuild with I think TRE (i could be wrong about the brand). SO yeah... but max is decent

So, relax man! Chill out, do whatever, I'm sure everyone here noticed that you bash me in like 75% of my threads without a reason. If you dislike me, Dave, or any other member, fine, just don't respond to our posts - simple as that.

Haha no 4x4 jokes 
The DSM never got any aftermarket suspension. Reason being if I was going to do it, I was going to go ***** to the walls with it because the *** end would squat so hard on launches and most aftermarket suspensions were just as bad as stock as far as stopping that. So I'd have to spend $1500+ on a suitable set of struts/springs.
As far as the max goes, I've been looking around and GR2 or AGX's with a modest set of 1.5" drop springs goes for around $600, which is definitely doable.
And I'm STILL debating on the clears, honestly I like the idea of being a little different and keeping the stocks.

And get the clears....the orange looks horrible. Also make your self a set of red/clears for the outer rear tail lamps.

if you owned a dsm you probably could care less about the clears.. they will probably just get stolen anyway
consider some pre-cat exhaust work, good way to let out some power.
imo leave the nos alone.. you'll still enjoy the responsiveness of a v6 without it, although it won't be anything compared to a high boost turbo dsm

I never ran the DSM at the track. At 25psi and race gas I hung with high 11 second cars all day on the street. So it'd probably be running 114+mph traps. I have a friend running 12.0's with about $1k of power adders on the car. And the guy who I bought the Maxima from ran a 12.5@109 with just an exhaust, k&n, and boost controller in his 91 GSX. 
kenji hit the nail right on the head about the clears. Coming from a DSM world, looks honestly are the last thing on my mind. The car looks heads and tails better than my DSM ever did even with the orange.
I'm curious about the y-pipe. Like I said I want this car to be very sedate as far as noise, and I'm worried about the sound a new y-pipe would create even with the factory cat back. Any ideas how it would sound?

If you are worrying about sound isues it actually sounds pretty decent. All the maximas I've heard don't have that rice high rpm screaming or deep sound of the muscle car. It defenitely won't be as loud as your dsm since you had 3 inch exhaust with a downpipe and that turbo gave it an extra kick. My guess is maxima with just a y-pipe will be quiet until you step on the gas then I would expect beemers type of sound.

Hope to see you there!
Bone stock is ok, We've all been there, its just a chance to get some inspiration for the ride, and meet some new peeps!

boosted maximas get more power from it. other mods can give you interesting results. better air flow in gives better flow out. also a UDP lets the engine spool easier across the band, and a Y and UDP make more power together then sepperately adding their individual power. mods stack and build, its a nice effect

cut and paste if it doesn't work
He has a 95 gsx and made it a total killer. custom 2.4L, big turbo, stand alone, roll cage,etc. Expected e/t's are in the 9s without nitrous. estimated dyno is around 600+whp. Check it out he has some pretty cool dsm's on there 1g and 2g as well as galant vr4's. My brother just bought a new Evo and a 93 supra tt auto. 2 of the best japaneese super cars. heh. lucky bastard. he's selling them both tho, his dream is a 97 supra tt 6speed. He'll make it a bpu dailly driver and burn ferrari's and lambos.lol
Anyway congrats on the purchase. You will enjoy it. I know what you mean about not spending money. For $3k, it won't be nearly as fast as your 1g dsm. My cousin spent $2k and runs low 13s in his 91 galant vr-4. pretty sick. I say just leave it stock it looks really sharp how it is, especially the int. damn black/black is sweet.
What mods did you have done to your 1g?
