Hello Fellow Max dudes,

Just bought a 03' Titanium Black Max. I love it.

I would like to get another 20-30HP out of it. Do you pros have any ideas. I heard about a y-pipe and Frankencar Air Filter.

Also, I heard the vid clip on FrankenCar's web site. Is that just the filter/midpipe that is causing that awesome sound?

Thanksss.!.!.

Just a few suggestions here: I think you should first concentrate in the handling department of your car such as: FTSB/RSTB/RSB/Springs & shocks???
Then wait a couple of months and see what NISMO will offer with their factory support products (will not void warranty) to enhance our VQ35 engine. It's a safer bet IMHO.

 

N.O.S.

 

Good luck with Frankencar. I placed an order and they took my money back in August. I haven't seen anything yet. After several inquiries, i asked for my money back. Haven't seen that either.

 

I'm a mod...

 

 

Thanks for all the responses guys. So the Frankencar is a bad idea? Waiting for Nismo is a good idea but I think they will be major $$$.

 

Well, with the stock 255hp (question?) isn't it plenty enough to get around in the meantime? I prefer to wait for the Nismo products for the advantages:
-won't void warranty (less hassel w/the dealer when in need to do warranty repairs).
-better built quality with no major issue w/the installation (similar with Stillen products vs the Ebays or lesser brand name) since they probably spent more times with R&D.
-more realistic dyno results.

Nismo is a well know name in Japan for racing, similar to AMG's for Mercedes or Nuggen for Honda...I just hope that Nissan won't back down on their promises!

 

Im still waiting on frankencar missing parts. As for nismo, i think they will have the following mods for the Maxima.

#1 Keychain


happy modding!

 

The owner of frankencar is a member of this board..his name is steve and his .org name is DMBMaxima2k2. I would send him a PM, he is always very accomodating and I am sure he will square up with you guys.

 

Yeah, I know...still am optimistic. If Nissan really want to make more $$$ and built better reputation w/the aftermarket enthusiasts. They better jump in mods bandwagon scene soon. Mazda & Acura recently introduce some models w/factory aftermarket installed.

 

You will be waiting for eternity for anything from Nismo.

 

Geez...thanks! You sure made my day w/that response!
Damn$it Nissan, prove him wrong!
