so ur trying to compare a supra to a maxima... thats like comparing a Lamborghini to a pinto....
what im trying to get across here guys is that there is not point of dumping money into an old car... when u get a little older and get a regular 9-5 job you will understand what it means and ur gonna kick urself in the butt for wasting money... but i guess everybody has to learn their lesson.... thats all.
you want to boost a maxima go ahead...

People boost civics and whatnot every day. Cars with smaller engines twice as old. For example my dad is rebuilding 72 datsun 240z and he is planning on boosting it. Is that dumb? I don't think so. I think that is cool as ****. Older the car the more the under dog. You sound like you have ran into problems with money before. If that's the case buy yourself a nice little 14 year old civic and keep her stock

Aftermarket scene for Hndas is huge,plus Ive seen boosted civics making well over 400HP at the wheels, power to weight ratio makes them good choices.
Building and boosting a 72 Datsun is much cooler then boosting a Maxima, thats a classic Nissan.
Im not bashing having a boosted Maxima, just saying if your looking for a vehicle to make huge numbers and be able to use the power Maxima isnt the way to, I however enjoy my boosted. I love to see peoples faces when they get yanked by a four door FWD sedan.

ur pops is REBUILDING a classic car... not a pos maxima... there is a difference... he not slapping a turbo into his rust bucket... the man obviously has money and a plan.....
not like these fools that are talking about a rb swap...
lets be real here people...
i realized a long time ago that is a damn waste of money with the maxima... not because i cant afford it, but because this thing isnt gonna last for ever and its never gonna be fast... if i wanted a fast/sports car i would have bought one instead of a maxima...

Can you define 'fast'?

Agreed. Best statement yet.
and 240z's are NOT expensive to repair. We found a running one in somewhat good condition from a friend for 500 bucks.
A maxima is an underdog thats what makes it fun. People can do whatever they want to any car. What is your ideal car to make "go fast" as you call it? An Enzo? What are you getting at.
Maximas can be quick. But yes obviously not 8 second car fast but honestly do you need an 8 second car? For.. anything?
Also if I wanted to go in a straight line fast I would have bought an ls1 camaro and started from there.
Every saturday night in the summer people meet up with there cars. I'm sure you all have something like this. Or should. It would be BORING if everyone showed up with an ls1 modded camaro now wouldn't it.
It's fun to show up in a Maxima. Thats for sure

im talking about an RB swap way in the future which would be awesome to see. im not all about getting the typical sports car and doing the same garbage to it as everyone else does. im talking about doing something with one of my favorite cars, something no one has done before, thats what makes my ideas unique. if i wanted to be like everyone else i'd buy a typical sportscar, i want to be unique. it seems you dont like maxima's by the way you talk about them, why are you in this forum? im here to get peoples help and guidance to do what i want to do, not get hated on for expressing my ideas.

I'm nearly 30. And i have a 9-5 job I've worked at for 7 years and still going. I also drive a boosted 4th Gen. Oh right i have a kid as well. Guess what...i have no regrets about having a nearly 400hp front wheel drive car.... Also why you consider all maximas to be a POS i have no idea.... Granted it's your opinion, but you're wrong
so ur trying to compare a supra to a maxima... thats like comparing a Lamborghini to a pinto....

Im 34 with a wife and two kids and I dont consider my max a waste of money. Granted a lot has gone into to it but its not a waste. If me enjying my car everytime I drive it makes all that Ive done a waste , then so be it I guess, but I dont feel that way. I knew when i bought my maxima it wasnt a prefered car for modding, but I loved the look of the 4th gen and it drove really nice so I was sold on it. Plus Imnot one to do what everyone else does, Ive always like to be the different one and stand out from others.

I enjoy spending money on my car and I know it will last just as long as I'm willing to make it last.
There's a 2005 Pathy in the driveway next to the 1995 Max and my son's 89 Max. I'm older than most of the posters here and I work for my money everyday.
Your argument and disrespect for Maximas is a fail.

a car in stock form that doesn't run a 15 second 1/4, that doesnt have a POS transmission and that doesnt handle like a 1988 cadillac brougham
my opinion is well.... my opinion... im not expecting you to like it or even dislike it...

FWIW the A32 can run faster than a 15 stock, the trans isn't exactly a POS (but obviously will break with abuse, as will any trans), and I'm quite sure it handles better than an '88 Cadillac.

sure, i always enjoy visitors. maybe we can grab a beer and discuss the difference between driving a maxima, and owning a maxima.
or we could skip the date and get it over right here.
plenty of people drive maximas. i see plenty. to them, it's just a car.
however, a select few own maximas. as in, to us, our car is our hobby. we are enthusiasts. we activate an account at MAXIMA.ORG - THE HOME FOR MAXIMA ENTHUSIASTS. we discuss with other people how much we enjoy our cars.
there is yet another VERY SMALL group of people who get an account at the .org, and wish to discourage those who exercise their hobby, whether it's modding, swapping, or anything other than "just driving a car". sure, there are people who just have questions about problems, and that's it. these people should stay out of threads titled "I need turbo insight", because clearly the OP did not want the opinion of someone whose car is just a mode of transportation. a way to get from point a to point b. those people are not enthusiasts, and IMHO have no business being a MEMBER of the .ORG.
