I would have come to this org and gathered more info before purchasing my low mileage 99 SE-L auto and found a 5th gen SE 5spd w/similar miles for the same price.

I love my Max though, can't complain, I could be driving my old chevy lumina.

 

like a skyline

 

"fast" is subjective - sure an audi would be sweet ( i want an s4 myself ) but in all honesty who really needs a car that does 12's and such if all it is is a daily driver - youll never be able to use all that power on the road (legally). (now im playing devils advocate bc i hope to get my max into 12's with a turbo) IMHO you can make a maxima "fast enough" for daily driving - which i believe is what most everyone on this site does. besides, a decently modded max can run most things on the road anyway. just my 2 cents.................

 

Nah, 4th gen rules. I could have afforded a 5th gen - even a 6th gen. Heck, a G35 (which I strongly considered) but I loved my '96 so much I stuck with 4th gen and bought a '99. And there is nothing wrong with an auto.

 

i don't think anyone is ever satisfied with what they have =) , but i have a question, how fast does a stock 4th gen run with a stock s/c kit with no special additives?

 

Not as fast as you probably want to hear. If you did nothing else to your car, put on a SC kit and left the stock SC pulley (3.6"), your 1/4 mile would be approx. high 14s for an auto and low 14s for a stick. You really do need to purchase a smaller SC pulley and do other mods if you want to be truely fast.

 

damn i really didn't wanna hear that =( what would be needed to make it into mid to low 13's??

 

I love this car and have no regrets in buying it, but if i had all the money and time i spent on it back i would have got a J30 and swapped in a 300ZX TT motor in it

 

I would have slid on buying the maxima I currently own from max.org, although its mechanically sound it ended up having a salvage title

 

hmmm doign the projector retro on a OEM headlight and not the ciefro light.... but i gues if i get the glass casing i wont be as bad... and.... should have gotten good strut mounts when i changed the srtuts.. dammit..

going into the shop next week for grand... knock sensor.. and some other maintain stuff and struts/springs/mounts... = (

but this will give chance to paint my UGLY UGLY calipars..

also not getting a better GPA in school... and buying a PC and not getting a mac from teh begening... also spending money on my girl which would have better suited the car... but then again she did do... yea anyway... and ahh... going to LIU and not Buffalo... (somuch money.. ) oh wait.. u jsut wanted the car stuff... srry.. have alot of unersolved issues.. hehehe...


P.S. is changing O2 sensors hard..?can someone email me if they did thier own... please.. do i dont pay work shop.. thanks thank

 

would have bought a 5 speed initially, would've never leased a subaru wrx..total loss from selling lease+fees+lease payments = 8k in 9 months + high insurance for it...would've saved 8 k + on the wrx and money on the maxima...since if I had the 5 spd initially wouldn't have gotten wrx. Anyway money wasted, time wasted..that money could've been used for a downpayment for realestate.

 

I'm not sure I regret anything yet. The VQ35 is not running yet, but all of Cattman's exhaust parts seem to be the best I could buy. I don't think I regret anything because my mods are all go, and no show.
