well basicaly I am trying to find out any idea about any project for our maximas.
example 1 : I think I will put a VQ35 on my 95 maxima. -> Great Idea
example 2 : I swiched the leds in my dash from the white to blue -> great Idea
example 3 : I wraped aluminum foil on my dashboard to get the aluminun looks -> bad idea


ok, here is my new project Idea

I used a nissan altima motor antenna (with one little modification) to replace my broken maxima antenna. bought it at the junkyard for $20 instead of $200 at the dealer.

 

6x9's on the rear deck -- good sound upgrade without getting aftermarket HU, amp, subs. Be sure you're somewhat mechanically inclined enough that you can make patterns and cut sheet metal in a tight spot. Sorry no pictures yet, but they came out good.

 

They might be louder, but for SQ they are NOT an upgrade. But a mod is a mod, so for innovating.

 

#1- Cut off the "teeth" in the openings of the front bumper, shave the excess and paint over. Makes it look alot cleaner. And it's free. Sorry I don't have any pix of that.
#2- I saw last night a guy on the 5th gen forums that took out the inner fenders and sprayed the insides with rubberized undercoating. It acts as cheap sound-proofing. I know in my car, depending on the surface, i get alot of noise coming up through the fenders. He said that it helped out alot to quiet it down. I'm gonna try that, and in the doors :-)
#3- 9007 conversion
#4- Ludalip!, hehehe
#5- 6x9 for the back like tomservo said

 

My great idea: dyed the headliner, trunk trim, and rear dash black......looks sweet.
I did the 9007 write up thingy and made up the Ludalip name....w00t. But thats nothing special, lets get the running gear from a 350z and swap it into a Max! I do too many light mods, just to pi$$ ppl off all my front lights light up at once....thats 10 lights on the front..........

 

Whats so good about 9007s over 9004s?

 

The F*CK were you thinking???

 

#1 i did what 95blkmax did and "cut off the teeth" on the front bumper and its now one big piece and the stuff i used to make my grill i #2 put in place of my air vents, so i have some really nice 'custom' air vents
heres a link and if you clicl on the picture you can see i also shaved my turn signals off.

9007 is just 10w brighter than the 9004. However you will need a new harness from what I heard.

 

yea you can get it off ebay for about $40 but it comes with everything.

 

 

RWD 3.5 4th gen MAXIMA ohhhhh yaaaa!
all ya need is a smashed up 350zs and its plug and play

 

Gonna be harder than that!

 

lmao u wish, u have to turn the engine 90 degree inorder to transfer power to the rear wheels. correct me if im wrong

 

I'm thinking of buying a lip spoiler and molding in a clear led into it. I dunno if anyone has already done it, but I have not seen that around.

 

where can you get a lip spolier cause i want to look into that and maybe even try to do what you ( kbmaxima) want to do, thats after i shave my trunk lights tho

 

my next project ir to mount 2 led in the white headlight so it acts as the #194 in the cefiro and alot of other cars headlight. It light the headlight up wtithout giving off much light.

 

I want to install a second VQ power train in the trunk. Reasons why you ask?
1st: Double the power!
2nd: All wheel drive!
3rd: because it hasn't been done yet!

Something like this.

Only problem would be this!

How am I suppose to watch all that stuff?
You would need a passenger just to make sure everything is running correctly.

another person on the org directed me to search bmw m3 lip spoiler on ebay. I just have to measure my trunk and buy the size that will fit. I think the lengths on a 3 series and the maxima are the same. I don't know. I'm not gonna measure my trunk until I have enough money after bills. to actually start.

 

Max4speed has a spoiler lip on his 4th gen.

 

my new project is a center console for the rear seat with a tv in it, and also double angel eyes in 97 headlights, both are very achievable ill let you know how it goes

 

ive been sitting on this one for a while. for us 95/96'ers without the accessablitiy of clear/red tail lights. what if you take the housing part per say of the stock taillight and the lense part of altezzas and then like like cut out the clear stuff that the 97/99'ers use for thier red/clears and jus paint one half red. and if you did both the inner and outer tail light portion then you wouldnt have to worry about matching them. just a thought im hoping to try this.

 

5spd conversion (if ur an auto) ---- Great Idea
VQ35 Swap --- Good Idea, but the same or more power is acheived more easily by adding a SC or turbo
97-99 Full Exterior Conversion (if 95-96)
Mold R34 Skyline headlights.. (Not sure what it would look like, but i'm sure it would look cool)
Build a VQ internally for a turbo/SC setup

Whoever completes a RWD Maxima conversion would be my hero.

 

That's acually a great idea.. I'm with you on this, it would be wayy cheaper than buying red/clears, thats if you were able to find a pair.

But if done right.. It could acually look pretty good. I'm for sure willing to buy a pair of altezzas and take my taillights apart to try this..

Props for the great idea!

 

My next project is to put wings on my Maxima. I'll call it a "flying car".

 

Free Mods, that I didn't even make up, but heard about on this great site...
Rear Trunk Shave-----------------------DONE
DIY red clears... Awesome mod---------DONE
Custom Rear 6X9s-----------------------DONE
Rewiring almost every light on the front---DONE
Making a Hyper Ground Kit----------------DONE
Polish Intake manifold, clean up engine----Maybe

 

The red clears for a 95-96 can be done. Take the stock tails open them up, take altezzas open them up. Paint 1/2 the altezza cover red and assemble with the stock rear/deffuser. Done, problem is where do you put the reflectors? Maybe some stick ons somewhere on the bumper.

 

Projects? Hmm...
Well, I just did some testing on my custom BOSE LED backlight replacement project...just a few tweaks to go, but it's looking good.

More projects "in the works" include:
- Mounting my radar detector behind the front grill, and running the display to inside my center vents (below the clock). I am pretty sure it's been done before, but I've always wanted to do it.
- Finish building the BOSE AUX input (will take standard haedphone jack, or A/V's) Cornblatt (or something) used to make these.
- Another "idea" I had (that I prob won't have time to do) is for LED tails....basically an extra vertical strip of LEDs (on the outside edges of the brake LEDs) will light from the bottom to the top depending on how hard you are pressing the brake pedal. So if you are barely tapping it, it will light up a few, if you are half on the brake it will light up half, and it you are slamming on the brake it will light up full (and brighter).

And yes, I will never have the free time to do the last project.....but maybe for my next car

 

I put this in my clock since it wasn't working. I'll have a pic of homemade battery tiedown within the next 2-3 weeks.




I have a 3 inch blue neon behind it which looks really nice, i'll get the pic up of that later.

 

Forget the wings. All you need is flubber.

 

also my next project is a gated shifter for my 5-speed. i have an idea on how and i got the material just need someone with alittle skill.
