I just wanted to drop and say whats up to all Nismo lovers like myself. What are some mod project will you be working on this summer. I plan to work a 6-speed trans into my 01 Max and all computer installations required.

 

Computer installations?

 

ECU...? My guess.

 

Summer probably nothing just get these ES bushings installed and see how they improve the ride quality .... Good Luck on the 6sp swap....

 

nothing really...working on my beat 90 Integra RS and get it up to par. if anything i do to the max is get teh AE rear lip and send it into the shop to get all of it put on/painted/touched up. but my main goal is a 3.5 swap before the year is out

 

Starting Saturday im working on headers lol. Hopefully that is a relatively quick task lol

 

I wish you luck.

 

Dell? HP?

 

lol at relatively quick...not from what i've heard

 

Summer hasn't even started and I've done PUR engine mounts, ETL, subframe bushings, test pipe, HID Fogs, new fog housings and a dyno.

In my possession ready for install, I have SFC's, end links, sway bar bushings, LCA's, ITR's, and a Wilwood BBK.

 

Just got BC Coilovers and now ima try plasti dipping my stock 17's.

 

Nah, MAC.

 

Intake, N62 maf, some tb porting, tune, then dyno.

 

Install new exhaust and high flow cat, redo headlights, Z33 clutch, Fidanza flywheel, refinish Z33 Track wheels, new 245/40 UHP tires, QT Racing rear beam link, alcantara steering wheel... Hopefully more.

 

My plans for 2011: avoid plans to mod the Maxima. Save money for the next car.

 

<---- Likes this. Hmm might do some minor mods, just finished wheels and suspension and it wasn't cheap. I need to do a coolant flush, bleed brakes and find out why they are making noise again, tint the burgers, paint engine cover.

 

Summer plans are to sell the damn Maxima and buy a 1.8t or diesel 5mt MKIV Jetta.

 

Bet you will.

 

Fine. A few LED's here and there, some engine bling... but nothing significant anymore. I've gone as far as I'm going to go for the next 12 months.

Instigator.

On topic (such as it is)... what are you doing to the Max this year?

 

 

Instigator? Me?

I have dreams. Plans? No. Dreams. So little stuff until I finish school. Rice and beans, you know? I'll probably end up with a new stereo, thermal spacers, and perhaps some wheel spacers. Maybe a catback if I can budget it. Maybe.

 

@Nmex Max; I was told you have to make change the programing in your ECU when making mods like that. My experience would probably put me at using dyno tune.

 

If I started a Max Club for the immediate MD, VA, Dc area. Would anyone be interested in joining? I know car clubs are a lot of money but, I believe you do your passion as I do mine. It would be called something in the realm of MD Max Kwel Mods, and only if your serious interested would you put in ideas.

 

Finish my swap, haven't driven the car in 8 months!


5.7 gen FTW

 

Blaque Knight Max Mods is another name I am thinking about.

 

should hit you up to do my 3.5 swap

 

Just did suspension (BC's) n tie rods... plan on changing my oil tomorrow... soon, will paint my front n rear bumpers, get new speakers (o2's), n hopefully do a SER brake upgrade wit 6th gen rotors. 2k2 6spd

 

Finally insall the headers and test pipe that's just sittin in my house

Remove the fugly pinstripe that I thought was a sticker but apparently it's painted

Get my hands on some track edition rims

 

Oh, and I'm gonna paint my headlight housings black this weekend

 

Plans this summer: Get my '87 Z up and running along with new wheels and tires, paint, tune up, suspension work etc. For the Maxima, purchasing new rims and tires, new y-pipe, hopefully that's all. I just put on new ES sway bar bushings and MOOG end-links; that was fun.

 

Leave him alone!! He's busy.

 

haha very true!

 

Um...intake spacers, subframe collars, grounding kit, some leds for the interior and the turn signals (if i get an electronic flasher lol), new rotors, some cosmic white nokya h1s for the high beams in my ebay headlights . I may get some foglights, and a catback if my money allows.

 

sell my max

buy g35 coupe 6mt

 

Fixed.

 

Hopefully get the headers and y-pipe installed when I eventually get them. And then some suspension upgrades like new end links, sway bar bushings and maybe get new motor mounts. I have a 2k Auto SE w/ 111k miles on her.

 

I've been collecting parts since last summer.
Setrab oil cooler with mocal sandwich plate.
ALL new hoses replacing black with blue silicon,
anodized fluid caps for under the hood,
short height shifter,
new clutch slave and SS line,
BBMAF, bigger injectors and a new tune,
new front hubs and bearings, (done)
replace all the black wire loom under the hood with blue.
black out the chrome around the windows
fix rear fender wells
complete the custom stage 2 lower tie bar
rear trailing arm bushings and QT link
custom lit gauges, along with led door handles and other led's
replace both front fenders and bumper

 

I started by sanding down my front lip yesterday hopefully next week i should have it painted and installed, also need to get the car tinted and slammed HAHA cant wait

 

First I should preface by saying much of this is dependent upon finding a job here (esp a decent one to where I can afford to have a luxury hobby) I just got my 5.0 in march and it is stock still. At 97.5K miles right now so I did do my 100K tune right when I got the car, that also included the PS hose which was busted. I have bought a new deck but still running stock speakers

I feel pretty satisfied by what I have for power so my initial upgrades are mostly going to be not on the engine. I want to alter my daily driving experience and while you can only add a few HP here and there with engine mods doing things like wheels, brakes, suspension to me have a much bigger overall affect.

1. BC coilovers (my rear struts will have to be done soon anyway so it makes sense to do this as my first mod. Would also do any of the cheaper upgrades involved in this process at the same time.

2. Door speakers! OEM suck and I know within a few months I will have blown them out anyway. Might do a sub, not really too big on volume, I just want quality sound I love music and roadtrips.

3. Finish my carputer project. I have the computer built and the DC-DC power supply, I still need the touchscreen monitor. I have thought about a second battery and a battery isolator and then using that second battery for carputer/audio etc but that would be extra weight so have not committed to that part.

4. Wheels, haven't done too much research on this. I got a GXE (15in steel) so no matter what I do it'll be an upgrade. (will put winter tires on the steels for snowboarding trips)

5. Engine torque link / engine mounts

6. FSTB/RSB

7. Start on the engine

Now obviously that's all like $10K easy so I doubt I will get all the way down that list this summer but if things go well that would be the plan
