is a 2002 really a 5th gen?
i know everyone speaks of different generations, but is it actually okay to say that the 2002 is included in the 5th gen discussions. a lot of manufacturers that i have called (GReddy, HKS, etc.), say that they don't have anything available for the 2002. Stillen says that all parts from the 2001 are not the same for the 2002. well, my question is, what's the real answer. are 2001 parts the same as 2002? is 2002 really 5th gen? thanks for all your help!

They call it 5th gen, cuz of the body style. I think the main reason the parts dont all fit the 2002 is cuz of the engine. But it could be alot of other factors as well.

I don't mean to pick on this particular person but 5.5 is not necessarily better than a solid 5.0. I have a VQ35 and I love the car so don't get me wrong. But down deep it is still a Maxima/Cefiro. No mistaking it for anyone who knows.

2003 - 5.75 (list even more differences from previous years...)
6th Generation Maxima:
2004 - 6
...and so on and so on...

Yeah, the 4th gens differ only in body, but the heart of the car, the engine and the tranny, stays pretty much the same from 95-99.
For the 2k and 2K2, the body remains the same, but the heart of the car, the engine and tranny, are very different.
I think of the 2K2s as the 5.5 generation as well.

Well, actually judging from our little run last month, you may want to revise your estimates.

I couldn't figure out how to create a new thread so I figured I'd comment in a few rooms. I need help. I leave for Basic Training in 2 months and when I return I'll have $10,000. I want to upgrade my engine. I want everything rebuilt and have some upgrades added while they are in there (the engine). Can anyone tell me who does this type of stuff. I can't find a company anywhere that I can take my car to and they'll put in a cold air intake, upgrade cams shafts, cattback exhaust, etc... Please send me an email at runlouisville@yahoo.com to let me know where I can take my car to do this. I will also be looking for a sponsor. This is a HOT chick in front of my car at the http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...etwarriorz.com competition in Louisville, KY.
