New 5th Generation Owner

I got rid of my 3rd Gen. and I picked up my brand new 2001 Super Black Maxima SE from the dealership on Friday. It's fully loaded with every option, and I got it with only 60 miles on it (leftover from last year, but in perfect condition). It rides 10x's better than my 3rd Gen. ever did! I already ordered clear side markers from Greg, what should I do next?

Get a FSTB and a RSB. You will feel even better amount of handling then.

One question, how in the world did you find a SuperBlack SE 2001 BRAND NEW at this time? I called 2months back and Nissan told me all the dealers in my area of DC were completely sold out of every 2001 in stock. He told me, there aint any to even look into the database.

Man you got lucky

Weeell...

FSTB, RSB, Intake (CAI, WAI, RAM), Exhaust, Y-PIPE!!!, SC, NOS, HID's, Chromalusion paint, ACT Clutch/Level 10 upgrade, VB Mod (last two dependent on whether you got an auto or manual), lighter rims, better tires, clear taillights, bigger brakes, lowering springs/shock combo, leather seats, kick-*** audio setup.

Lots of stuff really

Well what happened was that I went to a dealership here out on Long Island and asked them if they had any used 2k's or 2k1's and the salesman told me that he had two left-over 2k's, and one left-over 2k1. I took a look at the two 2k's and I liked one of them, but I wanted a leather interior, so I came back the next day and took a look at the 2k1. It was just sitting in the back of a lot behind 10 2k2's (it was screaming out for an owner). So I took it for a test drive, and picked it up three days later. I pretty much lucked out; But I ended up getting the car that I wanted to get.

I want to an Intake, but I don't know which kind to get. I've seen a lot of people in this section posting stuff about the new Frankencar Intake for Maxima, but I myself don't know too much about it, or about Intakes in general. Tell me which I should get, but keep in mind that I don't want a CAI now though, so exclude that.

I'm definately going to order a FSTB from Courtesy Nissan. But I want to add a RSB to the car because I hear that it really helps the rear suspension on the car. I've heard mixed reviews though on the Stillen and Addco RSB's. I've read that if you put on the Stillen RSB you loose the usage of your rear axle or something like that? Tell me which would be better. Thanks buddies...

It's a really pricey type of paint by Dupont that changes color depending on how you look at it (what angle). My friend had his car painted with it. Cost him a little over $3k for the paint job if I recall.
