Hey guys.. Just bought a 98max gxe with a 5spd.... Let me know on what mods you guys suggest and i am lookin for a rear strut brace... Thanks..

 

Front Strut Tower Brace and the Rear Sway Bar are very good mods to start with. They drastically improve the handling of your car. The FSTB can be purchased from STILLEN, Cattman, or Courtesy Nissan. The RSB can be purchased from STILLEN or Cattman.

Also, don't forget Clear Front Turn Signals and Red and Clear Taillights.

Good Luck! Happy Modding!

congrats on the car, tell us what you are interested in modding, the suspenion, the looks, the engine, lighting, etc, we have all the answers, well almost

 

a rear strut bar won't do much, as stated above you should get a rear sway bar. I would start with an intake + ypipe for power mods because the two of them give the most HP for the $ oh yeah, welcome

 

congrats on the new car, im sure youll love it. Go with the FSTB intake, y-pipe, cat-back exhaust, and clear corners. That should do for now, lol, take care

 

yes and most of all, have fun with your mods!

Try to do the installation jobs yourself...if you're a little hesitant or not too mechanically inclined, there are plenty of FAQs available. here are some of my favorite resources:

http://www.maximadriver.com (click FAQ-U, lol)
http://www.greghome.com/ (this is a super outstanding help website, very helpful pictures and a good author)
http://www.paulwendy.com/maxima/svcai.htm (I almost forgot, this is the best bang-for-the-buck mod available!)
http://www.geocities.com/artourb/maxima/#porterfield (if you look here, or many other maxima website, you'll find out that porterfield brakes are excellent with stock rotors!)
http://csc.smsu.edu/~jack/max/blinkermod.html (this is the corner signal mod, you can keep your sidemarker (the outermost lens unit right below the headlights and the signal light on at all times!)


well i think that'll keep you busy for now, and it'll probably drain your wallet

 

I'm thinking first get a cold-air intake, then a front and back strut bars and then front and back sway bars. Next, I plan on picking up a V-1, a greddy catback exhaust and a borla headers.

 

please take some time and think about what you are doing. First of all the CAI and a supercharger will not work together. Second, a rear strut bar will do NOTHING - just ask the people who own them. You ALREADY have a front sway bar. Borla does not make headers for a maxima and the one company that does make headers only give .5 HP over a standard Y-pipe.

Please don't be one of those people who mods just to have a long list of stuff. You've got a good resouce here at maxima.org - use it wisely.

 

by V-1 i think he ment radar detector( a life saver i might add)

 

hmm... you know, I think you could be right
