I finally got a see a s/c up close and personal last night out here in Utah. I am still thinking baout the whole thing and 1 of my concerns are what other mods/parts am i going to have to buy to add to the price tag!?!?!
I've heard i'll need a new clutch (its a 5spd) what else is not part of the kit i'll need

and if u have time, what are some items that are "nice" to have?!?

 

I don't think you'll need a new clutch unless your old one is gone. However, you will need a 3" exhaust system all around - the stock 2.5" won't cut it. Also, you will need a BOV (of course) and maybe some other parts I am not aware of, so check www.MaximaDriver.com - they should have everything you need. Just trying to help .

 

You dont NEED a 3" exhaust. I think i heard that 3" loses 1 HP ?.

When you say 3" exhaust, what all are you talking about too ?

 

You need a 3" cat, y-pipe, and something else I don't remeber. I don't know too much about the subject, but this I do know.

 

You dont NEED it.

 

he's right oyu will need aq 3 inch exhaust.Its like a turbo 2.5 is too small and if you keep it you will be choking the SC. It would be nice to have a blitz blow off valve too. if you need some help just leave me a message.

 

You don't NEED 3" piping. An upgraded clutch would be good to have. For autos, they should get a VB upgrade and tranny cooler...a Level 10 Tranny would also be nice.

IMO, you should work on the handling part of the car 1st...like struts/springs, FSTB and RSB.


~Gauges are good to have also..Boost, A/F or EGT, Fuel Pressure. S-AFC is a nice toy to have too.
~Better tires. You'll need the grip.
~Brakes. With all the go...you need to be able to stop.
~Tuning..you need to tune the car. So find a place that will tune the car for you.
~Good mechanic..just incase something decides to break.

That's all that I can think of right now.

 

everything she said is correct. And yes 2.5" is all you need.

 

O/T but was it Daves 99 Sterling Mist maxima that you checked out? if it was thats my teammates cousin. anyways, NO you do NOT need 3" piping for a SC. jeez u guys, whats the deal here? heh. get him the correct info jeez.
