5th gen Turbo

Yeah we are working on the routing for the intake pipes. I will post any progress we make on the setup though. The fitment for the actual turbo doesn't seem to be a problem but only time will tell.

How come Nissan doesn't make any cars with turbo that they'll ship to the US anymore? Maxima, Altima, 240SX, SE-R, even the Infiniti cars. No turbos!

Volvo and Audi make family cars (some station wagons even) with turbo power.

Including themselves. One can only wonder how much money Nissan has lost by not actively supporting a large aftermarket like Honda has done or developing an aftermarket capability of their own like Toyota's TRD.

Stupid Nissan!

Is NISMO affiliated with Nissan at all? I thought they were Nissan's version of TRD, but you don't see many Nismo parts in the states.

To the best of my knowledge, NISMO has nothing of interest available for Maximas.

What about all the Nismo stickers and badges? Those are interesting!

Honestly though, I guess Nismo doesn't consider the Maxima as a sporty car, hence no need to make aftermarket parts to improve performance. Whether they are affiliated with Nissan or not, they are making a mistake ignoring the Maxima!
