[SIZE=3][FONT=arial black][FONT=arial][COLOR=blue]Hey Out there in Maxima land, i have a question, i have a friend who just purchased a 6th generation maxima, and he claims that it's based on Skyline Technology, also he claims to have had the engine uptuned from the factory so that his maxima puts out 320HP, he also claims that the factory changed his suspention and gave him a all aluminium suspention as well, we all think he's full of crap, could any of the above mentioned statements be true???

 

Tell him he's full of doggy doo and to stfu

 

If i'm not mistaken that's the only part that's even partially true. IIRC, the Maxima uses the same suspension components as the Altima - which is partly made of aluminum.

 

Wish maximas had 320 horses

 

HE swears that the maxima has skyline technology in it, but let me ask this is there any way to make a 6th generation maxima put out 320HP, would the tranny even handle that much HP?

 

Supercharger

 

5th generation maximas w/ a supercharger have around 270 whp. That's about 340 crank hp.

 

CAI, racing pully, chip, exhaust... could be close to 320hp...

 

..........

 

Incorrect, maybe 280-285 at the crank

 

Regardless of how many HP the bolt on's would add....your friend is full of crap. With confidence you can tell him his claims are just sad and to quit being such a liar and join the real world.

CM.

 

err, yeah, skyline technology.

The suspension design is "Skyline inspired" but so is the suspension in a sub-$20k Altima. Sorry, that's about it, and no, not even close to 320 hp.

 

I was about to say......... just from CAI, racing pully (frees some hp instead of giving hp), chip and exhaust you get 55HP?

 

I wonder if he is a maxima.org member... Find out his name if he is one.... then we can all do a group flame.

 

Is that really necessary?

 

I have a 2k4 that truns to a hover craft and a plane at the flip of a switch it was up tuned at the factory and it has

 

I drive Night Rider

 

See, thats even more believable then that BS that guy said...

Hey, bugcozz, what does the red botton do?

 

Yes its absolutely necessary. People who are such obvious liars should be publicly ridiculed and made to feel shame.

CM.

 

This is some good stuff

 

Wow. If by Skyline technology he means nissan technology then sure. The only way the skyline and max are similar is that they have 8four wheels.

 

either that or his salesman really had fun w/ his selling him his specialllydesigned skyline!

 

We share the same variable flow Muffler with the GTR, that I know.

Same A/C unit? who knows..

 

Didn't they do away with the variable capacity muffler when the 02 3.5 Maximas came out? I might be wrong though. But I am pretty damn sure that the 6th gen doesn't have it since it has the dual set up.

 

That is what i expected, and you know the funniest part of his lies is this, he claims he use to cliff race in Japan right and how he knows so much about cars and how he wants to add a turbo to his 6th gen max and all this crap right, but he didn't know the license plate frame could come off and be replaced with a more stylish one, instead of the one from the dealer. That right there told me he was full of crap, One thing i have to admit is that his max is quite nice, he put some nice after market rims on it and tinted the windows, i'll get some pictures of the special Pryototype Maxaline he claims to have. LMFAO

 

'02-'03 still have the variable capacity muffler...

 

he dont know what the hell he is talking about..... 320hp in a front wheel drive.... that's too much wheel spin... and it's really based on the alty suspension, its an extended Alty frame

 

You probably could get some pretty decent numbers from a N/A Max if you built it up right...remember the same VQ35 is getting 287 HP in the 350Z...so why not build it (Cams, etc) to get some more...I bet 300HP isn't unrealistic if you did it right.

Of course, getting that kind of power to the ground is another story...

 

he must be 15
