Well, after 4 years and 2 months I'm getting rid of my Maxima today. It'll be traded in towards a 2002 Dakota Club Cab 4X4. The truck has the 4.7 V-8 with a 5 speed stick. It should be a rocket! I got tired of having a fast 4 door sedan (I had a Taurus SHO before the Maxima) and I needed a change. I know I'll miss the gas mileage and handling of the Maxima, and I'm getting a little old for racing everyone away from stoplights, so the truck will have to do for a while.
This board has been great (I've been on it for 3 years) and if you're interested in the Maxima you must stay on this board.
The best mods that I did to my car (in order of preference):
1. FSTB
2. Redline manual tranny fluid (living in New England with cold winters makes you appreciate being able to shift when you first start the car in the morning!)
3. H&R / Tokico combo
4. Cattman SS Y-pipe

Good luck everyone!

 

Good luck to you with the new vehicle & happy holidays!

Or do they not come with a cab.

 

 

Thanks for the messages of good luck. As far as the R/T goes, they're 2 wheel drive only and you can't get them with a stick (but you can get them with the Club Cab). I live on top of a hill that's a real pain to drive up when they're is snow on the ground so 4WD was a must have.
You wouldn't believe how friggin expensive trucks are! I paid as much for the truck as I would have for a 2K2 Maxima 6-speed (yes, I drove it and it was awesome but it was basically the same 4 door sedan that I've had for the last 8 years.)

 

...whats a truck without 4 wheel drive. Its just a big car.

 

I miss having my truck.

 

Rich, good luck on your new venture with the BIG 4x4 truck! You are right about this board being the best for Maxima infos.

Good luck with the truck.
Soon you'll be back to the MAX!

I don't think that I'll be back with a Maxima anytime soon. I'm really bored with the whole fast four-door sedan concept. It's not like it's a Ferrari F1-2001 or anything like that.....
