2000 max.. lowered with a stiffer spring...can you use a normal strut or must you use a high performance stiffer strut? what did I hear about trimming the bump stop on the top of the strut tower?? necessary?? I replaced with an oem Monroe strut and its bottoming out after less than two years.Please some wisdom!

 

Don't bother on this site. It used to be good It looks like the only people left on here are a buncha nerds that hang out online.Your better off going to a shop or another site.I wasted a half day on here and got nowhere

 

Don't worry about this guy, he won't be around much longer.

See what I mean. All these cornballs do is send u a 30 page link and your still gonna ask urself the same question. If I were you just go to a performance shop.if u wanna be slick just make believe ur interested in getting work done and ask them ur question. Ul never get a straight answer here.

I literally been looking all day for a good intake and every where I look is a different answer. Trust me if u take there advice ul have issues later on.

 

does the name "planecrash" mean anything to you?

 

 

Maybe read it then google troll.

 

I Am Spartacus!!

 

See.they don't give straight answers. This is like a loser online hangout.at least be good at it.if your gonna post links be a total nerd and say page ect paragraph ect line ect

 

 

Sir that is called SPOONFEEDING and looked down upon in most forums!besides READING is fundamental.

And besides that:

I AM SPARTCUS!

 

Well im actually impressed with my self.I've always been pretty good at judging people. Just out of curiosity I searched itchy and that cranky dude. I was rite. No life at all.u sit on a forum and literally talk about bieng drunk and a bunch of nothing. And when someone comes on here actually using the forum for what its for u guys get all wierd and throw links out so people think u know what ur talking about. Do I sound dumb? Anyone who reads this sear itchys posts and that franky guys posts. Its actually pretty sad to see that people are that bored.and now I feel like a lowlife arguing with u guys cause I got mad u wouldn't give a straight answer but wtf r u gonna answer anyway this really is just a hang out for u guys

 

shhh... the adults are talking.




Come back when you learn how to punctuate correctly... and get off the rag.




B*tch.

 

Yep, you sound dumb.



And both fakie and I have more experience building these cars than you.


and yeah, we hang out here... its this funny thing called friends...



any way we cut it it doesn't really matter... your time here is limited... whiny little b*tches like you don't last.

 

 

 

Lol this is really entertaining the long sht im taking but seriously u guys have no life. I can't believe what im seeing searching ur names

 

obligatory...

 

you. are. adoreable.



the most cutest little troll I have seen in a while.



Still haven't learned how to spell.




B*tch.

 

Spartains foward!

 

Ok done takn a sht. You guys r useless so no reason to stay. 6 hrs later still no answer. Guess ul still be here later n later after that and tomorrow and next week and week after that andddd you get the picture

 

By the way the guy who started this got no help.you losers rather talk about nothing then help.

 

Now you too contributed to a new suspension thread with useless info

 

you mean, the complete 5th gen maxima compilation done by arguably the best suspension guru on this site that this guy had no knowledge of before I linked it to him?



yeah, we didn't help at all.



you never answered my question.



does. the. word. "planecrash" mean. anything. to. you?

 

Dj is the only maxima suspension guru to ask questions.also there is a suspension section on the site.

 

Maximasicilian123,george_ and planecrash need to come up with a new awesome forum.

 

Lol dude. What you dont understand is that many members have been here for years, some even a decade - perhaps the reason why you see people shootin' the sh*t with eachother is because they are friends!

Sorry that you are upset that you arnt being spoonfed on what the "best exhaust" is as if this is a video game and everything has stats next to them. There are several reputable brands that make exhausts for these cars which offer a variety of looks, sound, and prices - thus the reason why you can ask such an subjective question and get so many different answers.

You also must realize that, as previously stated, this forum has been around for many years, and the same exact questions like yours get asked constantly. Thats why you will see a large thread that has compiled years of advice and hands on knowledge being referred to - the horse has been beaten to death and people get sick of spoonfeeding every noob (no offense intended) who decides to dive headfirst into modding their maxima with zero research done on their part.

Hell, i can confidently say that **every** topic/issue/problem regarding these cars, especially these older maximas, has been discussed on this website more than once. If you type some keywords into the searchbar you will finds DOZENS of threads regarding your very question - and countless responses for you to sink your teeth into. It is very possible for a person who isnt even mechanically inclined to learn just about every aspect of these cars on this forum without ever asking a question simply because there is such a wealth of info already saturating this website. The majority of threads are asking for clarification of info from an older thread, or simply due to the poster being too lazy to look.

So - the moral of this wall of text is learn and love the stickies and the search bar. This forum will only put out what you are willing to put in. My personal rule of thumb is to avoid making a thread unless ive already spent nearly an hour doing my own research via stickies/searching as the info is almost certainly out there - its just a matter of finding it.

And remember, we have lives too. If you find it too inconvienent to do your own research, think how other members here must feel having to do your homework for you. And if you still cant be bothered to spend a some quality time reading, then perhaps you should seriously reconsider making modifications to your car.

 

+1 from above post What a well thought out response.

 

It is still no excuse for some ciberg bastards to just sit on their rear and type ignorant responses 7 days of the week just to gain a damn post count.
I learned to either speak the truth or keep that *** shut.
