Well i would like to introduce my self.

My name is mike i am new to the Org. Today i picked up a AE 01 majestic blue 5 speed. I was driving a 97 acura cl and decided i needed a nissan.
I have always loved the car, my mother had a 98 SE then traded that in the for AE Majestic blue auto and i always loved driving both car and was sad when she traded that in for the new BMW 530I. I have always wanted the Majestic blue AE 5 speed and finally found one. So far i have only posted questions about coilover systems for the car and everyone has been very helpful. I am a newb so please dont flame me. I will use the search button as much as i can. Any suggestions on a first mod. I was thinking the Boss Chen coils. Thank you again.

Mike

 

No ideas on your first mod but congrats on your Max and welcome to the Org.

 

Welcome. Have you tinted the car yet? After a drop that seems like the next best bet. Get a RSB and FSTB to complete the drop.

 

Good choice. Enjoy. Wish mine was 5MT. Oh, and welcome.

 

drop it first if you have the money, if not, clear side markers always set it apart from the rest

 

I am not a big fan of clear corners on any car, but to each there own. The drop is i think the first thing to come. The i think exo, i already miss my exo from the acura. I ahve listened to the sound clips and narrowed it down, but was wondering what the gains would be of the Greddy Evo 2.

 

Another option is smoking them. On light colored cars I think this "could" look good. As for exhaust.. its a matter of preference. I would say try and catch up with some other maxs at a local meet so you can hear their setup for yourself.

 

Yea i would love to meet up with some others around my area, Anyone From Rhode Island???

 

I'm from cape cod, which means pretty much no matter where your located in RI your really no more than an hour from me. There is a meet coming up in RI. ANd I will prob be having a beach meet on the cape this summer when things warm up some more.

 

Is there a specific forum just for meets? I saw the one ofr the Maxums but nothing for Local. Could someone fill me in on the RI meet?? i would love to attend.

 

ooooooo, my fiance would envy you.....she has an auto ae maj blue. congrats and welcome.

 

Well, before you advance to things as complex as the search function, you might want to try and SEARCH THE SITE.

NE Forum

Welcome.

 

IMO I wouldn't miss a Maxima if it's replacement was a 530i (maybe some of the low end grunt and that's where it ends).

Hope you enjoy your car.

 

congrats on it man.

 

glad you like the maxima. you don't have an EGR so you should have more power than us 2000's do.

 

As nice as a 530i is it's too heavy for anything other than the 4.4L (545) or 4.7L (550) engine. It's just boring, imo. And if it was the 2004-05 with the 225HP 3.0...yuck.

 

first mod = Maxima.org stickers.

 

I need to get one of those

 

well, i think they have a thread on it

even i dont have those yet.

 

Congrats on your new Max-gotta love the AE's. At least I do mine. Have fun with what ever you do to it.

 

Welcome AE newbie!

 

Welcome... get the Org stickers. for 20hp proven at the wheels.....

 

Dont forget to drill the speed holes to decrease wind resistance


Ok enough thread hijacking from me

But to the thread starter. Every once and a while there are meets at Colt State Park in RI on Sundays

 

on a dark car, clear side markers sure do set it apart from the rest.....they set it into the category. Clear corners on light-colored maximas only, please. Dark maximas, smoke the side markers (plus, it's free..)

 

I like the looks of the AE.

 

Welcome....you should tint your car 1st. I'm also from Rhode Island.

 

Heh where in RI, I'm in Wakefield.

Yesterday actually I saw someone with a maxima.org sticker on their green 4th gen at autozone......might it be one of you?

DF

 

I envy the fact that the AE maximas already come w/ all the cosmetic goodies that i want to have.... Before you go and buy some upgrades you may not know about a few common problems w/ the 5th gen vq30... the VIAS breaks on about 90% of the cars, Coils arent too good, our MAF's are crap, and brakes are in adequate, so look into those things first.

IMHO i dont like cleared or blacked out rear corners.

 

I am in coventry Rhode island, but..,. i am in wakefield alot at the Mews and bonview, so maybe i'll see you down there one night. My girlfriend also works at Hooters in warwick so you can find me there tonight RI guys. Hope to see you all around.

 

Welcome to the org. I'd definately go with tint as your first mod. Then suspension. What's the legal % in RI?

 

Im in Providence. Not sure what % tint is legal in RI but I've heard tint is not legal at all here. I have a blk 01 max w/ tint and chromed out 20's. Maybe ya'll see me 1 day.

 

Congrats on the new car man... I just bought an 01 Maxima SE 5Spd today Sterling Mist and the baby is loaded just like I wanted. Leather, Bose, Moonroof, 17" Alloys, power driver and passenger seats, heated seats, garage door opener and climate control.

As soon as I get to the 15 posts, I hope I can start searching and showing you guys pictures and mods as they come along.

 

Congrats on the new car and welcome to the .Org. My suggestion is to drop your ride first. Also look into a new intake system. It will help with your gas mileage and add's a better tone to the engine.

 

Ordered my first modd today/ Injen Cold air. I am debating on the ksport for the super low price or waiting for the boss chens. i have the money right now for the ksports. Also i am looking into a greddy evo 2 system, but i dont want a loud rice sounds like i had with my acura. Would stillen be a better choice ofr exo?

 

Glad to see you got a max.
IMO, engine preformance is the most important. So for a frist mod I would go with an CAI (Cold Air Intake).

 

y-pipe....
