Just got a '02 , what mod's should I do first?
 
Just got my car on the 9/17/01. It is my first maxima and I am glad I bought it. Didn't realize how quick they were until I bought one. I was wondering what the most benefical performance mod would be for the car. Could also use where to get them as well.

Thanks;)

You best bet is to try contacting Stillen. Go to their site for a phone number... dial extension 169 for Hamilton.

The first things{in order} I plan to install on my "soon to be" 2K2 Maxima, is as follows,

Rear sway bar{RSB}
Front strut tower brace{FSTB}
Clear corners,
Intake
Y-Pipe
Stillen Body kit{when they make a new front lip}

After that who knows.. maybe a new supension, I am not sure yet.

it's all up to you...
 
if you want more power
intake, then y-pipe, then exhause

if you want better handling(recommanded)
Front strut tower brace, RSB, then suspension such as spring etc.. if have money... cattman have some really nice coilover...

looks...
clear corner, body kit

enjoy your new car:)

2002 parts
 
Are the parts going to have to be different on the 2002's? Things like Y pipe etc because of the different engine? Are there parts already out?

The first mod you should do is swap your engine. Give me your 3.5 and I give you my 3.0 :laugh:
