The max is a 6 spd. Shipping it here cost anywhere from starting about $1,500 and up. Fortunatly my work paid for my shipping.


I too was wondering about the ABS Dynamic rear as opposed to the Stillen type. Is there much difference as far as quality?

did you pay taxes for it? cuz it has a big engine for the europe.......
how do you buy the stuff for the max?

stillen is urethane and ABS is i think from ABS plastic or something like that.

sorry for all those questions but im from greece and i wanna know...... its nice to see maximas in Europe

Nope I didn't have to pay taxes cause my job pays for everything. I also don't have to pay registration, and yes like you said, registration and taxes would be alot because of such a large engine.

Internet is the only way to get parts over here. Shipping costs is a pain though.

So now the question is whether to go with Stillen or ABS rear?

Damn, MY EYES! Anyways, IMO if you're going to go with just the front lip, the Stillen is the way to go. It's not as bulky and it flows with the body lines better. But the MT lip would still look good if you finish off the rest of the kit. As far as the rims.....Chrome is not for me. But, with some black and polished lip rims on there, It would look SIK!
