New to maximas and just got a 2000 max

Hey whats up all.... I new to these forums... My older brother convinced me to buy a maxima. 2000 Maxima 5 speed manuel trans. Im 16 turning 17 and got about 7grand to spend on the car for now. Just im confused about a few things.

I got the car at 74000 miles and now it has 80000. My question is wheres a good place to start but first a few things need to be fixed. I know i need a lighter flywheel, front breaks and i may need a fuel pump i loose horsepower after 3500 rpms to 4000 rpms. Plus sometimes when i drive the car wont take off with power at all times and it has nothing to do with the way im driving. BTW i also forgot to mention that when i do a revmatch then downshift to a gear while slowing down for a stop sign the car dies sometimes. Its strange. Thanks for all ur help if you can help me. Im just not sure what to do.

i'm driven a 200 max 5 spd to, i have abotu 72 on mine. I don't know what your problems are, but if your lookin for power some good mods that don't cost a whole lot are a y pipe (budget, cattman, stillen), a b pipe (many many companys), and a underdrive pulley, another one that costs a little more are headers, they are like 7-8 hundered a think. Good luck and welcome to the org.

P.S. If you come to one of the maxima meets there will be some guys there who could help you figure out whats wrong. Their is one in orlando on aug 21, check the southeast forum for more info.
