hey guys.

im new to the maxima world
im about to buy a 98 maxima gxe 2morrow

and i was just wondering what the bolt pattern for the wheels would be
cuz i have a nice set of tsw revos from my old car

so, any help ya can give is great

also anything i should look for, like certain problems or anything on used max's is good too

Welcome.

It's obviously 5-lug, and the bolt pattern is 5x4.5, or 5x114.3, same thing.

Bro get an SE not GXE

The Max is a perfect car, or at least my 95 is. (besides starter).

First mods you will need are:

1)red/clear taillights - $12 (D-I-Y) up to $190 (made 4 u)

2)Diamond Cut clear bumper lights - $45

2)OEM spoiler - $80

3)lowering springs/struts $200/$350

4)OEM fog lights $70

5)FSTB $40

6)RSB $50

7)Cold air intake $215


...After those are completed your car should be lookin and soundin REAL good...

Good luck bro

dumb question #2

whats the difference in a gxe and se?

im a former toyota guy and clueless

the lug pattern is good news tho!

thanks for the info too btw

 

SE comes with 5 spoke rims, body colored door handles and grille, white faced gauges, exhaust tip, spoiler, and probably something else i forgot.

GXE doesn't

 

I love my SE, but all the trim levels of Maximas are so close it's nothing like some other cars. All of the differences are minor and can easily be changed should you want to do them in the future.

well the rims, i got taken care of.

door handles are minor, same with the gauges and muffler, etc

my main concern/question is the engine...all the same 3.0l v6?

which puts out what kinda #s btw

thanks

 

All trims have the same 3.0L V6. 190hp/205tq stock

and the stillen s/c is the way to go for engine boost thats not a custom job?

or, is there other kits?

-justin

 

My advice to you is to get the car then work on mods There is a new turbo kit courtesy of Nigel out of CO and the Stillen Supercharger. Read the .org for a while, visit people's websites, and learn to use the search function or you WILL get flamed
Overall this is a great place to be so welcome to the board.
