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 **** (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.

I got a 95 SE, college keeps me from using that much $ on the car, damn tuition. So far I got:
CE Short-Throw Shifter
Gutted Cat
Shaved Nissan Emblem from trunk
Mobil Synthetic GL4 gear oil
Mobil 1 10W-30
Tuned Up
Flushed tranny, motor and cooling system
Aluminum sheet metal to replace cracked plastic engine underside splash guards
After paying tuition for Fall, this is the plan:
Exedy Stage I (to go with the Fidanza that's been sitting around my room for ALMOST A YEAR!) and new rear main seal is preventive maintenance
Drop it, AGXs for sure, and most likely Tein S
Otto Racing Strut Brace
Memphis Audio speakers, including 6x9 conversion for the back (no subs in this ride)
Fix a SLOW leak from the Power Steering system
Do the 9007 headlight bulb conversion
Engine stuff will start after paying Spring Tuition: WS y, Bomz inkake and replace the cone w/ a K&N, 00 VI manifold, Magnaflow muffler, and UR Pulley.

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 ****, 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

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.
