Just baught me an 05 Maxima SL as a daily driver. I am looking into the making some minor performence modifications and would like to get some suggestions to what works/doesn't work on these VQ 3.5 engines. I have about $600 to burn on the Max for now.

 

Wrinkled Black Fujita cold air intake system

performance=fujita, UDP, exhaust, ecu, cams......

suspension=progress springs, KYB shocks/struts, Progress rsb, racingline endlinks, FSB from SE-R altima, soon to be strut bar from Taz...and obviously tires as well

there's a quick rundown of basic mods for the max

 

For $600 bucks I would say AEM Intake, Eibach Springs, Stillen Sway Bar, and Racingline endlinks. Might be a little over.

 

+1 Great CAI and dyno-proven performance increase.

 

+1 for the fujita intake... better then all the others (read other forms for benifits)

 

I agree with AllblackMax!

Tint windows too!. Lower the car and get an aftermarket grille. The car will look awesome!




Happy Motoring!

 

suspension will put you back about $350-400 and the intake will take back another maybe 250-300...suspension should be first on your list...IMO have fun with the car.

 

and find it where??

active tuning either takes 4-5 weeks or is O.O.S, RLM grill can't be found, don't know about others, if some one knows any sites, or some one has one to sell, please let me know!!

 

Thanks for the heads up guys.

 

I agree - Work on the suspension first.

 

save a lil more and put it towards some headers, that will be the most power from a single mod hands down. Intakes are overated, especially for the price.

 

Some great idea's posted here for you, but do remember if all you have is $600 you'll have to incorporate the price of installation into anything you buy
