Chernmax Phase 1.5 complete
Chernmax, though I am a novice in mods, your mod pics look really nice to me and make me want to mod my car too but I am still lacking the confidence. I wish I could feel for once how it is to ride in your car compared to mine (100% stock).
I assume you have invested a considerable amount of $$$ in getting all the mods you have and still continuing. I am wondering, if you had not invested these $$$ in purchasing your maxima and them modding it but instead invested them in purchasing a car with all the performance features you are getting through your mods, wouldn't it be cheaper?

My 2 cents. There is no fun buying a car with everything in it. This is a hobby for most of the members here. There was nothing out there when the 6th gen came out. Guys and girls were coming up with ideas on how to mod their rides. If you go thru the 6th gen threads you will see lots of hot 6th gens with their mods. We all have different ideas on how our cars should look.
It's a hobby for me like Warren, plus when my wife see's me working on the car, she leave me alone...

I have some people lined up, we need to install the Turbo first to determine what tranny issue we may have. Everything is a process but it's also on my list of things to address...

Oh no I always knew it would fit, what everyone started to ask was are there clearance issues if you had the Kinetix, IM spacers, and a FUSB. Now the question has been answered and the conclusion is, there is more clearance than stock!!!
how other gens are starting to "browse" the 6th gen 
ummmm am I confused? I thought turbo was stage 3...what's stage 3 then, fixing up the cosmetics?
BTW, shocks came in today! I like your art-work on the box
and you have PM regarding themdan

When I get it to the shop on Monday, we will unbox everything and lay it out and I'll snap some pictures. And IMO, the stock manifolds on the 5.5 gen are the same as the Alti and 6th gen. Actually the kit I have was first installed in a 2002 Alti and that's the same kit I'm getting...

i remember when they had the turbo mounted below the starter. that was strange. their new setup looks like how the tsi/pfi kit from the 4th gen maxs. their stuff looks really well put together and not that bad of pricing. wow didnt even know you were in MD. where ya at bro?

Well for the first 2 days (Mon, Tue) I'll do my best to snap as many pictures as possible, but Wed-Fri when I go back to work it will be more limited until I visit my car at the shop daily.

OK dudes, install delay, the AEM Boost gauge was on backorder, wide band boost monitor, 4400CC injectors (but he ordered me better ones!!!) and FTC fuel/timing computer won't ship till Thursday. The Southern Cal fires aren't helping either...
HOLLY ****, how much power is this supposed to make again?! lol
