When i bought my car(jan 03) it seemed like a good car, but then after a while things started breaking. Like the alternator went at like 140,000kms, the suspension was bouncy, the tranny was screwing up, the engines was always stalling and i was starting to hate the car, but i still had to pay it. So i knew i had to keep it and start from the ground up. This is what i've done up to now

Rebuilt tranny with cooler(what a difference, the guy adjusted the valve body also)
Tune-up, such as spark plugs and all that good stuff LOL
New 02 sensors(dealer paid)
New catback stock(dealer paid)
Stillen y-pipe with Random Technologies high flow cat
Tokiko Illuminas all around with CE Spring(the best way to sped $$$ )
Supension tables(bushings)
Rear sway bar(progress)
Short ram intake
Front wheel bearing(did myself...thanks Frank @ motorvate)(last week)

After all this was done(in the span of 3 yrs) I decided that the car needed to be driven for at least 2 hrs straight. I went downtown MTL, to the old port were there are brick roads, just to see how the car drives. Man, i was soo impressed on the smoothness of the car. I had it on the stiffest setting and there not one rattle. I just have to say that i can't wait to make this thing into a speed monster. I love driving it now and it's autotragic, imagine 5spd modded...ohhhh man. I have big plans for the future and will keep you guys posted. I don't have any pics yet, but the car still looks stock, but with a drop. black on black 95 SE

Future mods:
full paint and body work in july 06(car is black...should i do something else with it or just leave it black?? Red Sparkles??? Let me know what u guys think)...ohhh and cefiro smoked headlights
3.5 swap with 5 spd also(dyno tuned with stand alone custom ecu) unless you guys have a better suggestion for an ecu upgrade(winter 06-07)

Rims next summer with a front lip

ohh just in case some decides to put this... I beat you to it LOL

 

Thats great but why bother to rebuild the tranny when you had the oppurtunity to drop in a 5 spd for not much more?

 

I am glad for you man

my car is starting to getting on my nerve

my clutch failed, shift like **** anyways
my pinion and rack need to be replaced
rust in the front fender + border of the windows
drink like hell

I wish i and a stiffer steering

 

Good to hear that you fell back in love with your maxima. Good luck with it in the future. Keep us posted on what you do!!

 

I am getting the front end replaced now - the chasis, where its completely rotten (just where the crossmember meets chasis).
700$
It handled like shyte, was very bouncy, not to mention thesafety issues.
Still had a problem justifying that to the wife hehehe
