Just got my maxima about a month and a half ago... My question is what are the first few mods you guys did? My first real mod was orderin a B&M short throw shifter and some KYB suspension goodies.....

Ive had my maxima since January....check my sig to see what I have done so far. Im only 17 and pay for everything...yeah my parents do not spoil me at all...and next mod is prob going to be a y-pipe.

Y-pipe is best single mod for the money. Suspension is next, but costs a lot more to do correctly. GOOD tires are never a bad idea, either.

If the car is new to you, don't do anything until you are positive that it is mechanically reliable.

nissanMAX2NV

my first mod was a trenz billet grill. i have also,

y pipe, clean corners in front, megan cat back, 19 inch rims, CAI, debagged trunk, painted b pillars, chrome gauge bezel, short throw shifter, chrome I30 door handles, TYC painted tail lights, drilled brakes and semi metallic pads, stage 1 racing clutch, lowered with KYB struts and eibach springs

short ram intake,use a k&n filter and get the tubing from ebay, i did that and it cost me $65 ---about 15hp to the motor

Thats a lot!! Are you sure!? I may be wrong but that seems a little too high!? At the most, maybe 5, but thats stretching it!

The y-pipe is said to give you about 10 hp more.


My first mod was the clear bumper lights, then the Stillen Hi-flow intake and STS, then the y-pipe & full suspension, then the ACT clutch, then the wheels & NItto tires, then the catback exhaust, then the Technosquare ECU, then the UDP, then the 3.5 swap with a Fidanza flywheel, then the VAFC II, and then finally the I30T tranny with a new ACT HDSS kit... I just need to tune it now.

Sorry I kept going on and on.. it was just remembering everything I did to it.

Bufflomike

It had tint and chrome indiglo gauges when I bought her.

I feel like I need more mods now...

I did a Berk Intake, and Truax SFC's(these are great)

Next is some Eibach springs and Illuminas and some Toyo 4's or Exclaim tires.

Then I need winter tires...freaking Buffalo

After that is brakes, maybe a Stage II LTB and then I may get headers and
o2 sims with a catback....

Yes, 15hp is way too high. Gotta love misinformation.

iTrader: (5)

iTrader: (5)

my first mod was a car wash, at least 10hp (it was really dirty). Buffalomike, is it wrong that i want to chew on your avatar?

Bufflomike

Keyra Agustina...give her a try.

BlkMaxNCa

my first mod wash clear corners and 5% tint all the way around......Then I did the blue leds and blue gauges, then came time for my rims and new tires......also the alarm beep, nice and easy mod.

jtothar

First was a custom CAI, then Motegi 19's with Nittos, full bodykit, HKS CarbonTI Exhaust, Clear Corners, Projector Fogs, Ksport springs, Camber kit, front strut bar, Red/smoke tails, replaced all bulbs, S2000 Engine Start Button, 15% Tint,

ICE: 7" Motorized Touchscreen w/Windows XP PC 120GB, Alpine Headunit, Polk Components (4Tweets/4Mids), 2 Infinity 12's, MTX Amplification, Xplore 2way alarm with remote start...

I'm probably forgetting some stuff but oh well

bwinter7

First mod, some hi-performance blinker fluid (+13HP modest, really) and I have the line on a flux capacitor that some professor is going to sell me.


J/k I asked a question about this in the 5th gen forums, and the consensus I got was to get some sort of intake, (I have Berk, love it) and remove the cats somehow. Then a light flywheel, etc.

mge2790

i dont know about 15hp, maybe like 7 at max, and the stock "piping" is arguably better than any aftermarket peices (see: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ht=FRANKENCAR). y pipe is said to be able to add between like 15-25 if your looking for performance id say go with a ypipe

iTrader: (24)

the car was already modded. With 15% tint a lil nice system but I gotta change the headunit was gonna do a carputer in the future. Has slotted rotors and hawk brake pads. Rear spoiler with clear LED mod. Allezza style tailights which gotta do for some clear/red. The car is def. in good shape. Body has 130000 and the motor has 52000 just got inspected with a 5gen clutch I beleive if its not that something to do with a 5 gen lol. Just did all interior leds gonna tackle my door switchs next then my guages. But thanks for the responses. Gonna go for a CAI next

markd248

iTrader: (8)

No! get the Y-Pipe next then CAI if you want an intake. Although most say/believe that the stock intake works best with a K&N drop-in filter.

EteRnity059

iTrader: (18)

Umm...$20k + later, I don't remember what my first mods were.

wirelessdude04

iTrader: (24)

the K&N filter it basically replaces the filter in my stock air box correct? Also em I gonna get that ohhh sexyyyyy intake sound when Im revving my engine lol

phenryiv1

iTrader: (19)

An intake yields 2-4 HP AT THE MOST.

wirelessdude04

iTrader: (24)

so just get the filter guys??

phenryiv1

iTrader: (19)

No. Get a Y pipe. Or suspension...

Try this- you tell us what your budget is, what your goals (looks, performance, auto-X, drag, etc.) are, and how mechanically capable you are, and we'll take it from there.

markd248

iTrader: (8)

Haha I was recommending that for now just get the K&N drop-in filter, it costs 40 bucks and while you have that you can get a y-pipe, suspension, VI, etc.

Bobo

I'm not into noise so rather than get a CAI I opted for a Budget stainless steel y-pipe, coupled with a K&N panel filter. It works for me.

No discernible noise difference at idle or crusing, but a pleasant growl at WOT.

No fitment issues or bees in the can either.

Digitized

iTrader: (9)

1- Y-pipe + b-Pipe + muffler
2- Suspension
3- Wheels
4- Lights ( clear bumpers/ headlights / tails)
5- Upgrade trunk lid
6- new rims.. lol

wirelessdude04

iTrader: (24)

Im goals are to make it look stock but with a few show goodies.. Example clear tails, lowered, some nice rims might go with 6 gen.....I want more performance then looks though..... Im pretty good mechanically... Plus I got my cuz who has a 98 maxima turbo to help me.....Budget right now is about $2000.. Suspension I got coilovers on the way..... I think im proibablly gonna do the y pipe seems like the most popular and worth the money mod.

bwinter7

I was going to get coilovers, but since we live in the northeast, people have advised against it, unless you want to change them back to stock every winter, plus, I hear it takes a lot of adjustment quite often to keep them where you want them. Just trying to look out for my people in the NE area...

garyrr

iTrader: (1)

leaving audio, video, and looks

ram air intake- coilovers -cai-

very 1st thing done was 20% tint tho

My first mod was my suspension ADDCO RSB, Tokico Illumina Suspension Kit. That tightened things up. My first performance mod though. Y-pipe. I get better gas mileage and peformance. I love it.
