List stuff you've done, plan to do..looking for opinions on whats next.
So far on my 1996 SE 5spd I have:
tinted windows swapped to leather 97-99 center console wood grain dash/window switches full sound system/subs (Coustic Subs, MTX AMP, Pioneer DEH--p8500 Head unit, Infinity Kappa componet set, Infinity Reference Coaxial) strut bar intake (BOMZ) short throw shifter (SRE) shifter knob (20th anniversary) red out tails clear bumper lights fog lights (they had some kind of funky **** in my bumper when I bought my car...looked like they came off a 4x4 truck and were made for the bush...) replaced floor mats window leds to white shaved trunk mobil 1 oil I'm currently looking for the 5 spoke 17inch rims for my car...think those will make it look really nice. Sometime before summer ends I'll be buying a y pipe and high flow cat. Wondering what I should do next or if anyone can help me find those rims...or if anyone else wants to post what they've done. It's usually kind of interesting to read threads like these, good way to get ideas if you've done something unique. |

why .... ....
|
cause i can
|
Yall are rocks......3" is WAY too f*cking big for N/A or nitrous.
2.5" is the biggest you'd need if you're not boosted. |
how can more flow be bad...but ur right.... i dont really need it but i may want a supercharger....who knows i will prolly end up with 2.5" cause i am poor and it will be cheaper
|
I have:
Tints 15% What I have but need to install: Pioneer Deck Pioneer/Rockford Speakers Pioneer Premier SPL2000 12" Subwoofer I need a better amp I want: Clear Bumper lights LED Altezza lights (look like infiniti) Suspension Rims preferably 18-19" T.V's 2-way pager alarm More to come eventually. |

I used to work at the most respected exhaust fabrication shops in all of the South East. Even though I didnt do a lot of actual installs....I learned A LOT from there, and from other members. Too much flow will create non-existent back presure, therefore losing power and top and low end. 3" on N/A is totally pointless. Unless you're sending A GREAT AMOUNT more flow INTO the motor....why on earth would it need to come out quicker? Get what I'm sayin? Even if you were to be supercharged....if you're not pushing MORE than 9-10 psi.....2.5" y and b pipe is big enough to handle the flow out of the motor. 2.5" Y pipe, cat inlet and outlet, and B pipe (MANDREL BENT) will most likely give you the best gain (power-wise) for N/A. But what do I know..... |
ive got intake, ludalip,rims, tinted taillights, shaved emblems, 9007 headlight conversion with luminiks bulbs, angel eyes, ae headlight mod, foglights, mesh grille, tokico illuminas, tein s-techs, 5.6'' tv, kenwood deck, new bass every week practically, boston acoustics door speakers, shift knob, shift boot, led's in door handles, door pillar mod, relocated battery, custom hyperground system and others that have slip my mind.
in the near future- technosquare ecu, clear corners, 97 conversion front and rear, 2 kicker comp vr's, new tint, custom rear center console, possibly 4 racing seats all around. y-pipe, exhaust, knock sensor, new plugs, carbon fiber from head to toe. oh yea and i forgot. 3" exhaust to let all that air become turbulent before exiting causing poor circulation. my uncle has been doing exhuast systems for 14 years, 2.5" is sufficient for even most forced induction cars. |
Had the car a few months:
AE Headlights and Corners (thanks, bijan) Red / Clear Tails (again, ^^^) Clear (soon to be smoked bumper lens) Hacked Airbox K&N Filter Warpspeed Y-Pipe 2000+ Variable Capacity Muffler 20% LLumar Tint D-Class MTX Mono Amp 10" JLW6v2 in High Output Enclosure Remote Amp Gain Control Shaved Emblems Removed Mudflaps Next mod is either a WSP B-pipe, or an SP2 cat-back modified to fit my rear bumper. May look into some 18" wheels later this fall. The stock ones are fairly nice but... some deep dish BBS with huge rubber :drool1: |

I got my Maxima just over a month ago, but I've already done a few things to it..
Amber clearance/sidemarker lights 35% tint FSTB Next up on the list is an amp so I can get my system going, then it'll be just working on getting a few scratches taken care of. Maybe a drop eventually. |
