My Upgrade-2004 Maxima(deven)
Hello all,
I have moved on ....i just picked up a 3.5 SE 6 speed 2004 Liquid Silver Maxima Thursday. I got all available options, except GPS package. For those who does not like it, because of the shape, do me a favor and please test drive it. I felt the rear is glued to the road with the rear independent suspension. I'm happy with the way it drives and handles(no need for mods- comes modded and the 320 watts bose is a steal for the money), it's just that i have to get use to the Drive By Wire 6 speed stuff ...i was used to my 2001 5 speed and this will take some time to adjust. the shifter makes a lot of noise and you can hear when the cable is moving ...anways that will grow out on me...
i wanted the 350Z, but insurance is a killer for it..
i'm now moving on to the 6th GEN forum and good luck guys...

i forgot to mention that mine came with a rear spoiler . most of them i seen did not have spoiler in the rear. i was impressed. i noticed they took away the red center light in the middle and it's just a plain spoiler lip.

The outside could have been better but its not bad, i was really dissapointed about the gauge design, i thought it was hidious.. but i like the other inovations of the car.. One more thing, with more HP and Trq, why are the times for the 6 speed slower than the 2k2 2k3? Hope nissan didnt lie to you about the HP output... Goodluck, and show us some nice detailed pics.

Congrats on the purchase.
I was at the Nissan dealer earlier this week to buy some oil filters for my '01 when I saw two '04 SEs on the lot. I must say it looks really nice from the side and from the rear. I especially loved how it looks from the back when next to a 350Z. The two actually compliment each other nicely. Didn't have time for a test drive that day, but the '04 is looking better and better to me everyday.
Have fun with the new car. Peace.

Your new car looks really, really good Devon. They are definatally sharp cars, the quad exhausts gets a from me.
It's interesting to see it's engine bay vs. the G35's. My mom just got a new G35 Sedan, and obviously it is angled differently cause it's RWD. The intake goes straight out where the filter sits almost directly behind the grille. You can see it too. It's almost like a ram-air. The sound of the engine is sweet, it has this sweet burble to it, very similer to my Dads 2k3 4.7L V8 4Runner. The Maxima sounded alot quieter, without the sporty burble to it.
Overall, I am really impressed with the 3.5L VQ. I wish my 3.0 made the aggressive note it made. Whoever said it lost it's refinement and smoothness by increasing .5L displacement is a fool.
