Nismo!
I've decided I'm not doin any more mods until NISMO makes its appearance this fall. Hopefully, they'll have some good performance parts for the new max. Anyone else think NISMO's gonna provide us with good stuff? Anyone got any opinions on this?

However, I think NISMO is going to make $tealins prices look like peanuts.

Or was that a gas cap.
Anyways, I agree I'll pay whatever as long as I get what I'm paying for. $tealin has the market, so he can sell BS for whatever he wants. I hope Nismo shakes things up a bit.
Hopefully, they offer Maxima cams, clutches, differentials, and coilovers. I've heard good things on some of their SER parts.

NISMO Parts
Does anyone know of a website listing NISMO parts available for other applications (ie. SE-R)? I am curious as to what types of products they have made in the past, and am defintiely interested in investing in their Maxima mods, even if they are more expensive. Retaining the factory warranty, without fighting the dealer, is worth it in my opinion.
NISMO Wishlist:
- Catback Exhaust
- LSD
- Coilovers
- Supercharger
Do any of these sound possible?

I know they listed LSD or some version of it and a clutch.
I believe FSTB and RSB will be available.
I doubt SC.
I really hope NISMO happens so I can have a dealer install the components such as the LSD.

Re: NISMO Parts
Anything is possible at this point. The question is, are they actually going to spend R&D money/time/effort to provide aftermarket parts to the current (outgoing) and previous generation Maxima's?
All i can say is, I really hope so.

Re: Re: Re: NISMO Parts
Not that i'm being a pessimist. But unlike some other car manufacturer (Honda), the Maxima enthusiast community isn't even half as big (US Alone) and thus the reason why some aftermarket vendors prefer to just skip this model altogether when it comes to premium-ticket parts.
But it never hurts to try. I'm in.

That's what makes MAXIMA.org so powerful.
However, the only way to really show interest in terms companies understand is to BUY anything/everything they make that is made for our car. That is why the Honda aftermarket is growing so fast. People influence what companies make by throwing cash at anything, even if it doesn't perform as promised. This is not necessarily bad. At first it sucks, but as people begin to figure out what works and what doesn't they will buy more of the products that work. Eventually the crap products will disappear and more QUALITY products will evolve into a serious parts selection.
I like our situation better. We have the numbers and money to influence companys to produce QUALITY products according to demand. However, we have to "pioneer" these adventures, so you must expect to pay more. A good example is the Cattmans' Quaiffe differential and Gen II Coilovers. Another example is Place Racings' motor mounts and CAI. These are not cheap, but they are available and are QUALITY products. If more of us bought these, they would become cheaper and cause them and others to notice there is a market for 4DSC performance parts.
Sorry for the long winded post, but we should pull together and FORCE companies such as Place Racing, Hot Shot, JWT, Cattman Performance, and now NISMO USA to recognize there is demand. We just need to "SHOW THEM THE MONEY", if they can meet that demand.

Re: Re: Re: Re: NISMO Parts
Well, i did my part. I actually wrote a letter to BomexAero to inform them of bodykit demand from the Maxima community in general and to see if they're willing to take the plunge to create kits for all generation Maxima's. I like their approach in design as it doesn't look riced out at all.
I've seen their line-up both online and in SCC's magazine (coverage of some autoshow) and they look elegant yet aggressive.

Polyurethane if i'm not mistaken.
Btw, just got a response. Tough call to make but at least we have a chance. Do you think this is worth posting as a new thread to gain interest?

We don't have an immediate plans on body kit for Maxima at this time.
We don't offer any custom work.
In order for a project to be commercially viable, we minimum of 75-100 kits.
Prices would be similar to most of our other kits, ranging from $1,000 to $1300 depending on design.
Project will take 6 months or more.
If this is something you would like to discuss further, please let me know.

Maybe 20 MAX, withOUT a PROTOTYPE kit, just because of who they are. Once there was a prototype kit to see as an example, I'm betting 2 or 3 times that in the first year. No way before we even know what we are buying.
They're bluffing. I bet they get requests quite often and that's their typical response. Try anyways and see how many FOR SURE would be ready in 6-months. Doubt it though.
This is EXACTLY what I was talking about above, but I don't think that's reasonable for this market.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: NISMO Parts
Yeah, just too much. I doubt everyone on this board would want one. Perhaps, if anything, we can ask them to slightly modify an existing kit to fit the Maxima... should be less R&D.
I'll mail them back when i get home. Will probably try calling them up if anything.

As for spoilers, it can be done.

The thing about Nismo is...
There must have been at least a few parts out in Japan for the A32 and A33 Cefiros(4th and 5th gen Maximas, respectively), so Nismo wouldn't necessarily have to make "new" parts. They could just sell some of the Cefiro parts that can fit on the Maximas.

I'm a little pessimistic about Nismo parts for the Maxima. The Japanese Nismo site doesn't list the Maxima (Cefiro in Japan)for parts. Hopefully that will be different for NA.
