As Lithiumax said... save for forced induction unless you really want to go NA. The hp per dollar is a lot more effective with turbo and if you want you can keep everything else stock and still see awesome gains.

Until then... get brake pads... if you just get Axxiss Metal Master pads it should be under $50. I'm trying to find out if its ok to just use stock rotors.

Most people are going to tell you to spend it on your car, but I say use it on prostitutes. Good luck.

option 4- system
option 5- body kit

Buy things that you really want, then save the rest...don't spend it all...you might need it for a rainy day. So for for a grand, you could get a full exhaust system, and a UDP and possibly a short throw shifter, depending on which brands you buy. As far as brands go for the exhaust the cheap ones are either budget, warpspeed, and OBX, and the unorthodox underdrive pulley.

if you love music, you could put a wicked system in your car for that kind of money. it could have great sound quality , and **** HARD if you wanted it to as well. PM me if you want more info on it, i could point you in the right direction.

remember, music is the key to life

Maxima isn't complete without y-pipe unless you are going turbo.

Either get budget Ypipe or join the GD going on right now on WS Ypipes. Also upgrade your suspension(lots of options). = Decent handling and performance increase. Get some DC clear corners and Red/White tails and save the rest of the money(shouldnt be much left)

How did you get a 98 ECU upgraded?
Did you rewired those cables to fit the 96?

Its a 96 ecu. Got a cel but works fine. The cel is just for emissions related problems.
