just trying to see what everybody plans to do with there maxima. My plans are to stay automagic, and NA. of coasre I still plan to get the cattman headers if they show a bigger gain over y-pipe, Technosquare ECU if comes available for my performance mods. VB Mod. I need interior parts and a bodykit. Tokico illuminas when available.

 

My cars still too new (just bought it back in April) but once my warranty is used up I'm hoping to go Turbo.

 

Stay NA.
Waiting to see a little more as to how the headers pan out as to which is the best. The TS reflash Catt's coilovers and anything that lightens the car.

 

I cannot wait to pay ot the a$$ on a Turbo to hear the blow off valve when I am on the line with another car, warning him of the can of whoop a$$ I am about to break out on him

 

I sold my Twin Turbo Z for the 03 Maxima, so putting a super charger or turbo charger really wouldn't be worth the money for me, considering the pull my Z had. Going to stay stock!

 

I'm gonna build my car up NA...might go boost when after the warranty expires...

Oh, assuming they ever make a f*ckin' kit for the 02-03...

 

NA....still have 60k miles on my bumper-to-bumper warranty (and my dealer actually honors it and never screws me) so don't want to screw that up...besides, if I needed that much speed, I would have bought a car built for real speed, not a "relatively fast" family sedan

 

Staying NA planning on getting pulley/cattman y/technosquare ecu/and lighter cams -should be beast

 

Alot more people have said stay NA then I thought. I didn't add this in my first post that if I was to want a turbo I would just get my Lancer EVO that I want.

 

Same here.

 

after the warranty is over i think it would be cool to get nitrous, its not too bad for the engine... I want to get a Y now though...

 

My current plans are to stay NA. In the near future I want to add headers, TS ECU, and a little later, cams if some reasonably priced set comes out. Then I'm going to look into torque converters. Cattman coilovers are a strong maybe.

My thinking is in 4 years my car will be paid off and the wife will be back to work. That's when I will buy the car I really wanted to buy.

 

Also NA here. When I get out of college I'm gonna buy a project car to make fast. Till then, the Maxima gets mods, but nothing huge. Have Intake, UDP, and Straight Pipe now.
Plan on: ECU, y-pipe (no headers), and b-pipe. Maybe, just maybe consider cams, but most likely not. Oh and I'd love to get summer rims... Nice 5 spokes

 

I'm going NA for now, while prepping my new 3.6L VQ motor for NA duty also. So alot of the NA stuff will trasfer over to the VQ36DE-K.

 

as of now: PR cai, cattman y-pipe, RT high flow cat, Cattman catback, as well as suspension mods.

Future: vortech supercharger and cattman headers...

 

NA for now. Don't want to jeopardize my warranty.

I think another category should be 'trade it in within the next year or so'. Those are my plans...just waiting to see some of the '05's manufacturer's are talking about.

 

NA as well. A bolt on 02-03 will run mid high 13s anyway. Thats works for me!

 

First i went all N/A, Got bored so i got nitrous, after a while i got bored of nitrous and got a S/C...

Been there, done that

 

warrenty is about to expire in april '04 so i'll have some fun with the availible bolt ons for my '01.

those cattman headers look mighty tasty...gotta start saving up now.

but who really just want bolt ons?? planning for a s/c as soon as i get more flow each month. yippie!

N/A sucks beating stillen supercharged 350z's = fun

 

I'm going to keep my car NA with a few bolt on items. Most likely will purchase a 05 or 06 Mustang. If the the new Mustang does not trip my trigger, then I will go with a 03 Cobra.

 

Will stay stock forever.

 

..foreverandeverandeverandever?..............

 

Get a set of GR2's or Illumina's then finally install these Maxspeed Springs that have been in my room for about a year.. Put my new 19's on next spring.. Finish paying off car.. Finish School... Then buy 05 Acura TL next year..

 

Nothing too major here either. Probably a Cattman Y pretty soon, wheels, suspension, and maybe reflash the ecu. Not really into major mods since more than likely I'll buy a new car in another 3 or 4 years.

2k Max GXE 5sp

 

For the next 5-6 years:

-Intake, (prolly Frankencar)
-Y-Pipe
-VB mod
-Possibly a new ECU if it becomes available

other than that, probably nothing else, maybe some interior stuff and possible lower it a little + RSB FSTB

all this stuff adds an easy $2000 on to what i paid for my Max (14.5k)

 

Suspension, intake, y-pipe, greddy evo catback, udp, and turbo (if money permits)
the wheels i want are the BBS RS-GT. That will be some money too though.

The two main reasons for buying the Max - (1)A good looking sport sedan that takes mods well without looking like a hopped up Civic/Accord (2)Long term reliability. Adding boost is not going to help #2. I would not be able to take it easy in it, and with boost you will break parts. Oh, only things left to do are a Cattman B pipe, and change the rest of the sound system. The front AND rear BBK is almost done (plug for Matt).

 

BlackbirdVQ,

Would you mind sharing some info on this VQ36DE-K, sounds very interesting? Very interesting indeed. Is this a bore done by you or a mix of 3.5 parts and bore?


space we can recover, time .... ah yes time, never.

GR2s or Tocs, then giggle gas baby. Other than that, my next upgrade would be a black on black G35C. I'm in love!

 

Plan to stay NA, get cams, headers, and ECU.

 

When I get the '03, I plan to stay strictly NA with the exception of headers and ECU Upgrade. I also plan to do suspension work (e.g. RSB, FSTB, SFCs).
After that, I am going to concentrate on lighting, audio, rims.

But the first and most important thing is getting that clear bra and detailing it to my specifications.

 

i'm keeping my 02 n/a. i got my intake and typical cosmetic lighting mods. i wanna drop her a lil but am waiting until the 5th gen tokico illumina's are available then i'll get some H&R springs or something. if decide to get an exhaust i'll get the catt-man downpipe. but if i keep the stock exhaust i'll get a header+downpipe+cat and maybe midpipes. then once my 100K mile warranty is up, i'm looking at a G35c 6mt to replace the max.
