I happened to be at the dealer today for some stuff, and I was looking at the 2k2 they have left. Would it be better to get a brand new 2k2, or spend the money doing some really nice Mods on my 2k SE. My car is stock right now. For the money for the new 2k2, I could really bump up my car, I figure easily surpassing the 255hp the 2k2 comes with.

So that leads to my second question. What mods should I start with, say spending $1,500.

 

In short, you can easily surpass a stock 2k2 with a modded 2K, for $1500 or less. For more deatil: starting getting acquainted w/ "search"...


HINT: I'd start with the word "mod" or "mods" in the search box, search titles only, and use 1 year or less time frame. You will have multiple returns with various answers to your question.

 

Will you leave the 2K2 stock? If not, then you are both taking a bath on the trade-in and risking sections of your warranty by modifying the 2K2. I say keep the 2K and modify it. You can always get boost and be happy.

If you will leave the 2K2 stock, then you're comparing a modified 2K with high-risk warranty or a stock 2K2 with pristine warranty. Tough call, but I'd probably never in my life trade a car for another car of the same model, make, and body style. If you're going to trade....TRADE UP!

Y-Pipe, CAI, UDP, Flywheel should get you started just fine.

 

Only keep the 2K if you have the $ to supercharge it. I have run out of cost effective mods on my 2K and while it is pretty fast, I think the 2K2 6 speed is faster.

 

I disagree.

A CAI, exhuast, and a Zex kit (65 shot) will put a 2k ahead of a 2k2, at less than $1500. Just ask me-I have the 2k dyno numbers to prove it: 230HP/243T. Most stock 2k2 run around 209HP/222T on the dyno.

 

hope u have a really big bottle bc i have that in my 2k2 se 6 speed right now! 230hp 236tq intake and exhuast. the only difference is that u will run out of ur horsepower when ur bottle is empty and i wont! whats ur 1/4 mile time? mine is 14.3 @ 97

OUCH!! Nothin' like getting bit in the **** by reality!!

 

oh yeah, well my dad can beat up your dad, so there!

 

Hey, no in-fighting. Everybody go over to the other thread and pick on the Lincoln driver.

 

Hey Willse - sounds like you have the exact same setup in your maxima that Im wanting to buy.. Do you have any pictures of your car you can share with me ? Please post them here or send them to my email addy in my profile !

Thanks !

that is a link to the cardomain site that i made. i dunno what the deal is with my car. emax has the same set up as me and he has 14ish hp less than me. i for some reason have a strong engine!

I found it weird also, 14 FWHP from the same car is quite a lot. Your dyno may read higher then my dyno or maybe your car just has a little bit of extra power, I am betting it may be a combo of both. It would be intersting to see how close are cars would be if we both dynoed at the same place . BTW I just added a UDP too Once I put my Y-pipe on I am hopeing too see 230 FWHP. Ohh yeah it's weird how your car traps so low with all that power.

 

i havent ran it at the track with the current set up. my highest trap was 99 if i remember correctly. im not planning on going back to the track ever again. too many problems with the tranny etc. i think i am going to get a UDP and call it quits after a new set of rims. the new 6 speed tranny is way to delicate! im gonna buy a old 5.0 and have that for the track. ill dyno again soon. i might go to a different place to see if there is a difference at all. ill post results whenever i do it. i still have to break in my new clutch for the 3rd time.

Damn 3 clutches allready? Yokes Mine is still as good a s new with 11.9K miles on it.

99 MPH is a very good trap time dude.. It will be intersting to see how anotehr dyno shop effects your results

 

<==== 93.33 trap speed ... ....

ZEX coming soon !

 

yep! all the damn tranny problems have been from the clutch. i had one replaced at 3k miles and again at 15k miles. i dont know what the deal is with the clutchs they have been giving me. the current one feels sooooooooooo much better than the other 2. i think that they may have been faulty clutchs and my driving . ill see if this ones feels good after a few thousand miles and see what i want to do with the car. nissan told me that they arent going to fix my tranny or anything tranny related again. so i have to watch it! dont want to buy a new 6 speed tranny, clutch and flywheel !

You took the words out of my mouth.

Don't get me wrong. I have a 2K and at this point, the only thing I have left to do is SC it. I would do that before buying a 2K2. But if I had a 2K with no mods, I would try to find a preowned 6 speed in a few months. I will never buy new from a dealer again.

 

Will,
Car looks good. What drop springs are those, and how much did they lower your car ?

thanks man! eibach prokit. i think 1.7 front 1.4 rear. someone correct me if i am wrong!

will

 

Well I think I am going to keep my 2000 SE. I like the interior of the 2000 more than the new 2k2, as well as the hood line. I think the older 5th gen lights and grill is more aggressive (keep in mind this is just my opinion).

I figure for some money I could get the GD at www.leatherseats.com as well as putting in some basic mods to up the HP a little.

Thanks for all the input, some of you have some great cars! (from what I could see on your homepages)

 

Hey Williese,

Your comments aren't relevant.

The guys question was about how a 2k could be modded to keep up with a "stock" 2k2, for less than $1500. Because those were his options w/ the $: upgrade to a stock 2k2, or do mods on his 2k. You don't have a stock 2k2; on the otherhand I do have a modded 2k that will outrun a stock 2k2.

This is an informational forumn, not a ****ing contest. So, if you can't keep up with the discussion and contribute something relevant, please keep your comments to yourself and stop wasting everyone's time and server space!

P.S. F23A4,
Before you support someone you should check to see if what they are saying makes sense, or else you look just as off-base and ignorant as they do.

Yeah, I've got to agree with you on that.

 

ha! ill remember that. but u cant always kill a stock 2k2 6 speed! ur little zex bottle will run out sometime! just so u know have spent maybe 300 bucks moding my 2k2 so accually my comments were very relavent. dont hate me bc i have a 2k2 6 speed that has 230hp 236tq. i was simply statin the facts. next time u post make sure u take that NOS out of ur A$$ and chill out buddy!

Yeah, what a sap!
