Hi everyone

I just thought id semi-formally introduce myself.
Zac, 17, Hawaii.

I picked up a 4th gen maybe a month ago.
Was looking at the 5 spd 4th gens for a while.
I think i got a pretty good deal. Fairly modded maxi at a great price.

Picked it up for $1000, got it painted for $700.
Mods include:
z32 maf
z32TT injectors
sard fpr
tein h tech springs
morgan shocks
rear sway bar
upper front and rear strut bars
cross drilled rotors
stage 3 clutch
sarona mesh grill
clear corners
cefiro headlights
red/clear tails
tint - if that counts

Plans:
Alloy rims (from a 350 or newer maxi or altima)
Downgrade from H techs to S techs.. i want it lower
add stock spoiler
Nothing else major, just interior work etc.. maybe replace the seats with leather.
Heres a picture of my car:

the picture makes it look a lot better than it is.. the side moldings were taken off, and theres a couple of bondo spots, so its uneven on the sides

Anyway, I just wanted to say that this is a great forum, found lots of information here and picked up a few parts.
Thanks!

 

Why the Z32 fuel equipment and an FPR if no other power adders?

 

Welcome to the maxim.org family.

 

Congrats and welcome! You got a great deal and the it looks good.

Just be careful w/ the S-Techs, they might be nice and low, but the ride will be rough.

G/L w/ the new ride.

 

Nice Max, you should just keep the H-Techs and get a bigger wheel/tire to fill up the gap.

 

Good price.
Best springs made for the A32, overall. Stick with these.
Never heard of them.. .Go with Konis or Tokico Illuminas and you will have the best suspension for daily-driving on an A32
Don't do it...trust me.

 

how polite...

looks like you got a great deal. were the moldings taken off before you got it or by the person who did the paint? research those s techs a lil before you buy em.

welcome to the .org!

 

man where did you get that grille? I'v been looking for one like that. Ooops!!Great looking max

 

Can't beat that price. The car will look really good with nice wheels, that's where I'd put my money.

 

nice car man get a lip and some 350z wheels like you said and its gonna be nastyy

 

looks great and you got a great deal to.... i have drilled rotors and i have the 350z rims and they kinda match the rotor....lol looks real good.

i agree with everyone, you should research those s techs before you get them...

Yeah, everything was done by the PO.

I was actually looking at 350z alloys, if the guy still has it when im off from work im picking them up.

I did hear that the S techs arent that great of a ride, but i dont believe i'll feel it much. I had blown shocks in my mr2 and could not feel it at all.
My friend has s techs in his integra and the ride seems fine to me, or is it just s techs for maximas that are bad?

Thanks for all the feedback!

 

Don't recommend s-techs either. I've been riding on them for about a year or more but the ride could also be bad because of the crappy gr2's (not to mention the roads here in NY suck *****). If you upgrade to 17 or 18" on your current h techs, there will be a difference where you may not even want to drop.

Definitely like the look of the car though. And a very good price for the mods on it.

 

Welcome to the .org man.

 

welcome. if you want to drop it more dont downgrade, either stick with what u have or get coilovers( if u say u wont mind the ride)

 

Not even all Maximas...just the 4th gen version. Some applications of the S-Techs are great. A32s- not so much...

 

might consider tein basic coilovers.

 

Great looking max. The smoked clear bumper lights would look great with the headlights

 

looks excellent man, and that $700 paint job,looks wonder-fuqcin-ful.Keep it clean man.

 

I am a newbie on this post but not in age. Hah. This is one of the best forums I have found to find solutions for your car problems. Everyone keep up the good work.

 

yea i basically spend about 2 hours a day, at least, just flippin around in here, lookin at pics, checkin specs, whatever.
i sit all day at work on the internet and without this place i probably would be playing solitaire till i lost my mind.

 

Same goes for me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wtfux @ NA + Z32TT injectors/maf etc

but it looks great, nice choice in color man. what color was it originally?

 

Black, with primer all over the place haha.
The hood and lip were purple...

All the mods were done by the PO.

Thats about to change though.. =D
