Sometimes it can be something that simple. You should notice a huge change in ride comfort by loosing 10 psi.
Please let me know how it is. |

During these conversations, I pretend not to be overly proud of my car, and express surprise that Motor Week not only said the 2016 Maxima was easily the best Nissan sedan they have ever tested, and, despite CVT and FWD, also selected this Maxima as their sports sedan of the year. |

Yes, the ride is a lot better. Thanks again for the tip!
Take a tire off that's inflated to 33 psi and roll it around. It may bounce a bit because there's no weight on it, but it won't bounce around like a tire that's inflated to 44 psi. Same concept. You can play around with front and rear tire pressures to adjust handling of the car as well. Google it. Pretty interesting. |

@Deerram Nice looking SR. Liking your choice of the painted corner Stillen Spitter. Looks very nice on that color as well and I think is the best look when adding the splitter!

So happy for you. I have followed your 8th gen crusade here for around a year, and had my fingers crossed things would someday break your way. After doing such 'due dilligence', I know you will take even more pleasure in driving your new baby. Congrats!
On a side note- anyone know how to tune to channel 0 or find the XM radio ID? |

Deerram, you spent $30-40k+ on your car, please take off the fake brake calipers. Otherwise it's very nicely done so far.

Hi everyone! I bought my 2016 Maxima SR last Saturday. It's my first Nissan and so far am in love with it. I'm new to the forum as well.

Prior to the Maxima, I had a VW Passat TDI. With VW buying back the Passat, I had to get a new car and I fell in love with my Maxima from the moment I laid eyes on it. The dealer I went to has their Nissan store right next to their VW store. I had gone in to the VW store to sign some buyback paperwork and saw my Maxima next door and knew I had to have it. I don't drive the distances I used to, so I won't mind the mpg difference as much (was averaging 45mpg with the diesel). The Maxima is a night and day difference (in a good way) and I can't stop smiling while driving it.

I picked up the set from EBay. They are the PVD coated black chrome. I like them better than just a black painted wheel. They have a beautiful finish on them.

So far, mine is plain jane. Thinking of some pin stripes and wheels

As you said, it's your car to do what you want with -- I couldn't care less either way but the fact of the matter is that the MGP's are amateur hour stuff. Period. They have a self-adhering epoxy blend caliper paint made specifically for rotors. It's glossy, looks great and it lasts. That's where you want to be. Nice work, otherwise. Car looks great, especially with that color scheme. :doublethu |

Gave her her first real wash and wax today. I love the way the deep blue pearl really shines in the sunlight.
