Looking good bro but I heard light weight flywheel is bad. Do your homework on it. Looks like you're having all kinds of fun with it.

it helps the moor spin up better for N/A stuff..forced induction its better to have a heavier flywheel..and also, the JWT is about the same price as an OEM flywheel..and has a machinable/replacable mating surface..which is muucchhh cheaper in the long run

Car looks good. I like it. I would change the wheels on it, but that's just me.

If you have the via plate from NWP you do not need the Kinetix intake! Overkill and same thing. No gain....not even bragging rights. I had almost all the same mods as you except I had the front strut bar and I removed the resonator and went with a nice stainless steel straight pipe. Kept the original headers, and mufflers. AEM CAI and UR lightweight pulley. Modified grille, Lowered on Eibach pro kit 1 with KYB GR2 all around. I had Iridium plugs installed when I installed the NWP spacers. I was about to do install the y-pipe then I decided to sell her after 8 years. Last year in July I acquired a 2012 Infiniti G37xS Coupe in Red....very lucky cause that color was my first choice. Happy motoring and modding! I loved and miss my Maxima....lots of really good memories including my daughter high school grad!

stock radio replacement- audio for dummys questions

Hello, I am new to this forum and know nothing about car audio. After reading a view of your replies it appears you are very knowledgeable in this area.  To better explain, I am a female who enjoys the sound of music including a little base but clear. I have a 2006 Maxima SE without Bose radio, just normal factory radio. I am interested in getting a radio that would allow me to still use the controls on my steering wheel, but the pleasures of blue tooth (hands free driving), ipod connection, gps etc. I was told to get a double din radio but there appears to be so many how do I know which to choose. My budget is no more then 1000.00 with install. My idea was to purchase all the items and have best buy install them, so you think this would work? Also below is what I think I need to purchase but again I do not know what I am doing and what is considered a good price. Please help, and with pics if you could. The install will be professional because I do not know anyone to install it. Note. I later want to install the rear camera, when money is better. I also will be purchasing the portable car tv/dvd player for the kids.

1-12” speaker with box (because I still need some trunk space
1-amp ( but I do not know the needed watt and what my car will support
A set of twiters( I guess for it to be clear?)
Double din radio?
Ipod.aux connector/wires and micro phone for hands free driving?
A universal aux, because I have ipods, galaxy tablets, etc?
A kit to make the radio appearance flawless and no space?

Please provide names for all these things because again I am a car audio dummies.

Thanks so much
