Ok let's get started. I've done this before and maybe I was just confused a little on what you guys said. Now let's get this straight I'm too young to drive, I will be driving in less than 2 1/2 years. I hope to be a future Maxima owner, it is my mom's car right now. She says I am not going to get it, but who knows if not I'm going to try to find a 300ZX Twin Turbo. I hope you guys can help me out. (If you can please tell me how much the part is)

Ok that's what I have listed now for my questions and "Jokes."

:confused : Ok first off why or would I need a Blow-off valve for a supercharger? I've seen some of the Max's here have Blitz Blow-off Valves. I thought they were only used for turbos. When a turbo builds up pressure it has to give off so that's when the blow-off valve came into place. Does a supercharger build up pressure like the turbo?

:confused Now for the Razo pedals. Somebody told me that there pedals did not fit well on the Max. Is this true? They also said when souping up an automatic Max that is tends to get expensive. Is this also true? Yea I know I listed a lot of parts, but trust me I bet a million dollars that I will never see every part I listed on the car.

; ) Ok now for the Engine Start Button. I thought it would be cool to have it. My older brother owns a Honda S2000 and it's a cool little thing to have. You just think oh yea it's just a button. You push the clutch in, turn the key, and then hit the button. Nope that isn't all that is helpful for the car. When a car jacker finally gets into your car and tries to hot-wire it he'll have a really tough time doing it, since it ONLY starts with the button. It acts like a saftey feature and I just think it's really cool to have. That is just my opinion thought.

the oil cap will probably run you another 15-30 bucks.. shoulder pads are anywhere from 30-50 bucks a pair. piaa plasma blue lightbulbs are about 120, the piaa plasma HID's are from 70-100 bucks. momo seats are probably around 500 bucks each.

you also have to factor in the price of installation for a lotta this stuff. im just starting to get some parts in, and damn, installation would cost me an arm, a leg, and my left ******** if i didnt have a hook up!

 

heeheehee...you're going all out doode. 2 1/2 years huh? so how old are you? and where do you live? im in the bay area. i just got my max maybe 2 months ago..installed eibachs tokicos pr cai and porterfield racing pads. it cost me a fortune. whOoo! how you gonna expect to pay for alla this? i hope you're mechanically inclined..and not lazy like me. haha. good luck on your max.

 

oh..im also waiting on my fstb, my clear/red tails and a cattman jet hot ypipe. if you ever get around to ordering these things, don't buy from street beat, carparts.com, or partsbiz. me, turbo95max and alota other ppl have had VERY BAD experience with them.

 

trouble with streetbeatcustoms? really? when i ordered my fstb, they told me that it was back ordered and id have to wait.. but that was cool. what probs did u have with them?

 

well, they charged my credit card but i've been waiting over two months for the fstb..even though i was one of the first to order it. and they're fINALLY gonna send me the tail lights after i emailed them an angry letter..hehe =) i finally stopped being nice in my emails cause they didn't reply for like 2 weeks. gosh

 

oh..and they didn't treat me very well when i called them. this guy kept ignoring me. booooo

 

Sup Maxima95

my advice would be skip the GT-R badge, everyone and their grandma's know it aint a GT-R. Skip the Weapon R intake and juss get a CAI. If you plan to go SUpercharger then dont even buy an intake or undersize pulley.

As for the BOV. a blow off valve is used to relive pressure regardless turbo or supercharger. both types are forced induction. Most Honda blowers are Roots Eaton type and you dont see BOV's on that type of blower. Maxima's have Vortec blowers with piping so a BOV can be put on.

 

PartsBiz SUCKS!!!!

good thing i ddint order for myself id be sooo much madder. Ordered some Indiglow gauges (5 sets) for my friends and ive havent recieved the last 2 sets yet. Ordered these back in FEBUARY.....they take forever!

Ive heard many bad things bout StreetBeat and CarParts too.

 

sorry to hear about your bad experience with them, bro. i dunno, but since there have been that many people complaining, it might be worth the extra 35 bucks or so to get the courtesey bar instead of the sbc. maybe i got lucky.

 

you got hella lucky...hahaha =)

 

na95gle - you need to call your credit card company and put that charge in dispute. You've got 60 days after that you're outta luck. Use it.

Maxima95 - Stock you've gotta very nice car (If ya get it) I'd suggest doing your car in stages. I recommend to everyone. Suspension/Saftey stuff first. Get a Sway bar and strut tower brace. I wouldn't care what brand they are. Just get both, addco and courtesy's bar are fine, Stillens is nice too, but you're paying for a brand name. Other then that save some money, dreams are nice but you'll always want something more. I can speak from experience, money = freedom. I have worked with quite a few people that get stuck with a job because they owe money on bills. If you have money set a side you have power to say - No I won't do that and then go find another job.

Anyhow don't plan on spending every dime you make. It'll just get you in trouble. Anyhow you've gotta learn this on your own. That's my "Sage" advice for the night.

Have a good day.

Wizeguy

 

I'm such a geezer.

 

And its past your bed time. Go to bed old "guy"

I'm out I've gotta get my rest so I can "Do the Puyallup". Gotta love E-coli burgars.

"Ya I'll take mine rare." hehe...

 

where are you getting your red/clear tails from?

 

We can only give you prices of things now.. they might not be the same in 2 1/2 years. Besides, you might be able to save some money and get some used stuff, by then lots of us will have newer cars. Call me in 2 1/2 years and I'll see what I can do.

 

Ok fine I'll let my age out. I'm 13 going to be 14 in November. I live in Tennessee. I know I won't get every part that I want I just want to see what people think what parts should be fitted and whats shouldn't.

 

Yea I see your point on the GTR badge. Why skip the Weapon R intake and the undersize pulleys if I'm going to get a supercharger?

Thanks for explaining the BOV I understand a lot more now.

 

im not sure about the pulleys, but when you have a s/c, there's no need for an intake as the s/c is hooked up to the intake valve.

 

Oh ok thats cool

 

my friend's neighbor who is also 13yrs old recently inherited his elder brother's honda civic coupe whilst his elder brother got a new 2000 mit eclipse. even before being able to legally drive a car, this kid has installed aftermkt parts into his car...coilovers, body kit, intake and exhaust..etc.
also heard that his mom recently took him and the civic up to the drag wars in wisconsin / chicago to drag...his mom drove whilst he watched...nothing special in the car...
but the mom's philosophy is that at least this car thing gets him off the streets and out of trouble.

just my 2 cents worth. was going to tell you that my friends here are somewhat mechanically literate and can aid in installs...but you are in tennesse and I'm in Indiana.

 

2-1/2 years? How old are you? Like 14??

I dunno, if I were a parent I would not get my kid a nice car for their first car. Just one that is safe and reliable, and not one they can get into too much trouble with (like a Z or Maxima). It takes a certain level of maturity to drive a powerful car responsibly, and I don't know any 16-17 year olds who drive as safe as someone with more driving experience.

Anyways, if you get a Maxima, try not to get bitten by the mod bug. It will suck so much money away...
