thanks guys. really appreciate it. yea the previous owner did a bit of mods, so far that I know of, G wheels, drilled and slotted rotors, tokico blues w/ their progressive springs but failed to do the important things like change the clutch, throw out bearing, gear oil, valve cover or spark plugs. So can anyone guess what i'll be doing for Christmas -___-. . .

6MT? Really? That's odd, unless someone swapped transmissions. And while not that uncommon here on the Org, it's mad rare in the real world.

No. If those are Infiniti OEM, then they're the Enkie 19" wheels off the G37S Coupe. If not, they could be the Sport Edition copy-cats you can get through TireRack.

Look like the real deal from those pics, but if they are they've got the Infiniti tire size on them, not the right size for the maxima (tires are 1" taller overall)

I know just what you mean, Tuner. I can't imagine having a Maxima with an automatic transmission.

Oh... wait. My bad.

Sweet ride indeed!

You'll need to do:

1. engine mounts - which I have FS in the FS section - http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ion-parts.html
2. plugs
3. new front springs - go with eibachs
4. speakers - I put in the old speakers and I know the old ones are shot
5. put back in original tails - the lights on the dash show up because their LED's in the tails with less wattage -

6. There are the things you mentioned but overall that car will last you quite sometime - I was doing mobil 1 its whole life every 3k miles and dont put anything less then premo gas!

Have fun with her and keep me updated with your mods - lmk if you need to know ANYTHING regarding her - Take care man!

Yup, exactly!!!

Some people prefer it, I just find any "luxury" car that has cloth seats kind of redundant. I could get onboard if they were nice cloth seats, a nice alternative fabric or anything of the like, but nope, they're straight out a Sentra/Altima style seats.

Same goes for the transmission BTW.

Yeah the car is an SE debadged and replicas - I'm late 20's so just looking to have a clean look - decent ride - you don't like the Stillen sides? I originally had the Stillen kit molded in front and back - id have to search pics - how is she treating you?

Surprised from here too. That pic looks great they look like the OE 19", but the high sidewall made me question.
