You can get it all for ~$100, depending on where you go.

Hell, I got the upper, lower, injectors, TB and IACV on here for $125 shipped.

I got a 99 Lexus GS 300 that i bought a few months ago.. it's in the garage until the maxima blows up.. so no need for a car savings.

Lexus GS 300 FTMFW!!

It all might add up but in the long run its well worth it

Plus you can just install the 00vi and keep adding as you please

If your core support is rusted like a lot of Maxima's why not buy a new one? If I am correct they are all bolted to the front end. I haven't really looked into this yet, but will in the near future. They sell it on ebay for around $85 shipped or so. Dunno, but I prefer maintenance first over anything.

Core support is also spot welded in place.

Have also heard bad reports of the eBay replacement units, but have also heard good things as well. Guess it really depends on who you get it from.

A) Detail, $100 should be plenty to buy all kinds of cleaning equipment, including a buffer;
B) Replace any broken interior/exterior parts
C) Y-Pipe;
D) FSTB;
E) Silverstars / XtraVision / Any other kick4ss headlights;
F) MEVI / 00VI, or at least most of one;
G) 2005? Pathfinder 6CD/MP3 Changer (esp. Bose)
H) Save it.

Those are the options I can come up with.

EDIT:
I) Clear bumper lights
J) Red/Clear Tails

i highly doubt you will find a mevi cheap as a 00vi....

If you were to go vi anything the cheapest route would deffently be 00vi. but obviously there would be more modification with the 00vi

Well gold is a great conductor!
But there was a company that made plugs with a built in booster coil to Increase spark voltage and I've heard great reviews about them but I can't seem to find what it was called. I'll edit this post if I do. But they went for around $20 a piece

EDIT: It's called Pulstar Check it out and tell me what you think.

Of course is a good conductor, just look at how much Monster charges for cables

Pulstar

I've installed quite a few sets of those, not a single noticeable difference. Did get a few defective right out of the box, though.

I will say that packages and boxes they ship them in come in handy for various things, but that's about it.

Not saying that I would personally buy those plugs but it was just a suggestion. I also think that NGKs are fine and $25 is too much for a plug.
I just replaced my plugs with NGK Platinums and my misfire went away which makes me happy

Down here it's about $5...I remember when it was under $3, tax included for a pack of reds. Only about 2 years ago, too.
