Installed my PR CAI last week. I noticed a nice bump in power and what a cool growl. Had my Y, Eibach's and Tokico's, and UDP installed professsionally. Big $$ but I don't have the tools, lift, etc. Very glad I did. It was a real biotch fro the mechanic and he's done all kinds of mods to many cares including Max's. FYI - Springs/Struts are a real PIA - don't know how some of you guys did it w/out a spering compressor. Also, Unorthodox sent "stock" belts w/ my pulley!!! Had to leave my Max overnight so he could order Gates belts the next morning.
Anyway, 9+ hrs of labor later and I love my Max even more. Lots of low end to mid range now and what a sound!!!!
My alignment is perfect! Again, this guy took the time and did everything right. The ride is awesome. Yes, I do feel the little bumps more but what you get in handling and steering response in incredible. I would highly recommend the Tokico/Eibach set-up to anyone. I sould definitely use wheel spacers on the rear. I am still on stock rims and rubber which are clearly the weak link now.
And thanks for the great info on diagnosing the 'check engine' light. I was given the run-around forever by Nissan that it was an improperly closed gas cap. After reading posts, I thought for sure I had bad O2's. My initial turn of screw gave me 3 codes??? When turned counter - I got 0505 - which means nothing wrong!!! Reset light and all's cool! Thanks, guys!!!
More than happy to respond to any questions on mods!

 

Hey dude.

About your budget Y, what grade of steel did you get, and how does it sound ? Any bee or hissing ? Or is it a nice deep girle/growl? B/C for being about half the price of stillen/cattman it's really an eye-catcher.

About your lowering. Why didn't you go eibach all the way ? How much of a drop did you get ? And did you ever consider coilovers ?

Thanks.
