I just joined the forum today. My car is a 2000 Maxima SE (Auto) Currently my car has injen cold air intake, pully, stillen cat back, and Jim wolf cams. I am looking for headers and ecu for my car. I have looked in the FAQs about the headers. Most people said that the Stillen will lose power. I am just wondering that is there any shops make good headers for 2000 Maxima?? I also noticed that someone has the TS ecu for their Maxima. I just checked their website and found out that they seem only have TS ecu for 2002-2003 Maxima. Is it true or I can still use the 2002-2003's ecu?? I am just confused and need some helps for these two parts. Thanks

 

you can look into either cattman headers (cattman.com) or hotshot headers. you order them southwestautoworks.com or check them out on hotshot's website. the hotshots are actually made for the 3.5 but you can make them work on a 3.0 as i have. as for the ts, it is just a waiting game for them to release the 3.0 programming for 2k/2k1. as far as i know, no 2k2 ecu will work in our cars due the differences in engine & tranny.
out of curiousity, did you do a before and after dyno with the cams?

 

I didn't do a before and after dyno with the cams, but the difference is very obivous.

 

Do ya have a dyno now? I'm interested to know what the gains are like...

 

JWT cams in a DE-K ? dayumn and I thought I was going to be the 1st one :P Well I will have dyno before and after of mine whenever I get around to installing them.

HS headers will not work on a 00 with a EGR valve, some 00s do NOT have EGR thou check your car if its cali spec or Fed. TS will not have a ECU for 00s due to too many ECUs avalible for that year vehicle, 01s lucked out due to similarity to the 02-up ECUs.

Word is Nissan used a company who no longer is in bussiness to make ECUs for the 98-00 cars, and there are so many diff ECUs for those cars that it would be impossible to crack all of them. Plus when the company went down under, all the ECU blueprints and coding went down with them. I belive that its doable to convert to a 01 ECU doing some pin changing in the wireharness connector at the ECU, or just getting a 01 engine harness, but the speedo will not work. 01-up gets speed sensor signals from the ABS controll module, not the tranny.
