I wouldn't do a thing to my max except give it a much bigger garage (think airplane hangar-Jay Leno style 
) to sleep in and me to work on it in. ie lifts, every tool imagineable , paint booth, etc etc and plenty more cars to fill said airplane hangar 
/dream

Oh ****, not a "if you win the lottery" type of thread. This is going to really get me going now.
Ok...here is what I would probably do as far as vehicles are concerned, if this was a BIG lottery, like hundreds of millions of dollars.
1.) House
I would buy an approximately 3-5 million dollar house that isn't necessarily huge, but is REALLY nice, really modern, and has a lot of gadgets inside.
- A large 3-4 car garage (doesn't have to be side to side, having depth would work too, like 2 cars in front 2 cars in back)
- Another 2-3 car garage fully decked out with air tools and lifts, everything I would need to have the perfect workshop
2.) My Maxima
It is my baby, I would keep it definitely.
-Keep the VQ30DE
-00vi swap
-turbocharge it
-full cattman exhaust
-UDP
-6speed swap, definitely would need a limited slip diff
-some sort of a more aggressive clutch upgrade, not sure what
-Get rid of my BOMZ filter for a K&N
-Look into stiffer motor/transmission mounts
-coilovers
-FSTB
-RSB
-2005 Altima SE 5 spoke wheels
-Complete suspension overhaul
-wheel bearings
-carbon fiber lip kit
-Acura TL projectors with HIDS
-One piece headlight housings
-clear bumper lights
-LED tails
-clear rear turnsignals
-I might smoke all the above a few shades darker
-window tint
-350Z heated leather seats
-Better wiring throughout the car
-1200watt amp (not sure what brand yet, don't want to go too over the top on the wattage though)
-2 12's (not sure what brand yet)
-I would make a custom ported sub box exactly to the specs ideal for whatever 12's I use.
2.) I would buy an Infiniti M45 Sport as a luxurious daily driver, probably keep it fairly close to stock. Either this, or a used Audi RS6.
3.) I would buy a Suzuki GSX-R 600 to bomb around on
4.) I would buy an old beater Suzuki Samurai, lift it, put bigger tires on it, upgrade the bumpers, put a winch on it, locking rear diff

if i had $50,000, i damn sure wouldn't put it into a maxima.. lol.. but just for the sake of argument... all i really wanna do to it is cattman headers, intake spacers, SFCs... that all would run what.. maybe 2,000? the remaining $48,000 i'd buy myself some 28 inch rims, get my maxima plated in all gold, and make myself a bouncing car... bling bling!

you won the lottery?
Yeah this question may be a little bit outlandish, considering that most of us would probably move on to bigger and better vehicles, but I was daydreaming a little and thought, if I had $50,000,000 sitting in the bank, I'd do some serious overhaulin to my baby.
I'd try to keep it as sleeper looking as possible but would hire a custom shop to make my Maxima AWD, drop the VQ37VHR engine in her and make it a TT
Damn, I need to play Powerball more often.

P.S. Real Dual Exhaust and all aluminum multi link rear suspension ftw!

I would take the electric drive system from the prius and the motors from the tahoe. and put them on the rear wheels then make my car a AWD hybrid. the milage is a cool improvement but I just like the idea of using the electric part for more power.
So what I would have is all the same drive train but I would have to take out the rear beam suspention and I would make that double wish bone. the I would mount the electric motors on the rear wheels and run the system some how threw the ecu.

after my house with the George Foreman size garage. i would buy 2 of every generation of the maxima starting from the bluebird up to the 7th and have the older ones completly restored they would all be black on black one auto and one manual.

Won the lottery, eh? I always think about this one...
1st: Buy a really nice house, with a really huge garage, and a state of the art security system.
2nd. The maxima would always be a keeper for me, and would get some major work:
-Fully built N/A Cosworth VQ or built for Turbo
-Built transmission
-Volk 19s
-Redo entire body
-Pro audio sound system (i'd be talking to Don about this one)
-Complete lighting conversion (S2K projectors, LEDs, DDEs etc...)
-Never be worried about another problem with it.
3rd. Park it next to my GTR, M45 Sport, and 911 Turbo

**** i wont the lottery, and got a tank of gas and some drinks!!
($100 scratch off)
but 4 real. i would build a big *** shop, completly strip the max to the frame. have the frame powdercoated, yes powdercoated. and have all other parts powdered, except bumpers (of course)
then stroke to a 4.1 i think it is, idk who makes it, but its like 8g for the kit. anyway that, then a hell of a clean build up. most important thing would be keep it clean. with all new parts.
i will keep ya posted!!!!

First, I'll move. Then:
Buy several area businesses first so I have residual income.
Buy a high-end condoplex, rent those to people.
Start a tuning shop and have a private lot with skidpad to mess around on.
Find a decent house for myself with a dream garage.
Wake up at 2pm, and mod/drive my cars at will.
AND, before I die, with my great masses of wealth and collection of fine motor transport (cars & bikes), start an automotive museum...haha.

Maybe. If it was someone who couldn't afford it but deserved a nice car.
It would have to be a family member.
This response has me worried. 
Murcielago, Veriyon, AMG S600 and the list goes on.
Here's a better question: How many people with Fitty-Mil own Maximas?
It would have to be a family member.
I know what I would do if I won the lottery!
First I would grab a camera and a good friend to film it. The scene would be in the middle of the desert approx 130 degrees. I would find a nice angled cliff to drive my maxima off of it. The whole time being filmed in slow motion going down. The camera would scroll to the right a bit and I would be standing on a huge flat rock wearing nothing but the most expensive Mocassins I could find and a diaper made of $100 bills.
Now that is when you know you made it.

I would leave it stock on the outside, even with all the scratches. But on the inside and under the hood...... thats a different story I would rip everything out and get it all custom and may be with an GT-R drivetrain

I'd probably get a bunch of nice suits etc
Then get some lightweight OEM looking 9.5" wide 18s or 17s, extend the fenders just a bit
Run 255 or 265 hoosiers on them and change em out every time I fill up
Front and rear REAL (brembo) BBKs
Custom electric power steering with MORE LOCK
Custom Moton coilovers or equivalent, ride height set at maybe a 2 finger gap
Custom forged Aluminum LCAs with extendable ball joints, tie rod relocators, a good 4 degrees of camber and as much caster as I could dial in, have a custom lightweight rear beam put in (reppin the beam and not the IRS yo) obviously with zero toe
Get rid of the SFCs and have a full roll cage integrated into the body as much as I could
naturally a built 3.5 turbo w/custom engine mounts (lowered and further back), equal length headers, maybe titanium or something retarded, don't forget the electric cutout, then a full standalone hooked up to the carputer,
electric oil pump conversion that gets it flowing before you start the car
6 speed HLSD with a treated helical cut custom close-ish ratio gearset, using custom Raxles
Custom gauge cluster, 4th gen SE style except with oil pressure, raised redline and probably a 180mph speedo, both actually ACCURATE
Bunch of sound deadening etc
gnarly battery
Hidden carputer w/big HDD, a 9 or 10" widescreen LCD mountable to the lower center windshield and bluetooth to tether to a 3G device, wireless keyboard and "3d" mouse, integrated radar detector and GPS, the works
Good EQ and amp
Some serious Rainbow comps and a great 10 or 12" infinite baffle sub mounted on the rear deck so as not to take up too much trunk space.
And of course the lighting... IS300 fog housing retrofit
LED tails
Dual projector retro w/R34s, S2ks on the outside and TL w/ZKW lens on the inside, both with cockpit adjustable 35-50watt ballasts
Replace all body panels with painted CF stock style panels
Lexan windows, try and somehow engineer a way to get the rears to roll all the way down or closer to it (I know, impossible)
Extend the moonroof to be something more like a 3 series, bigger by a bit and open all the way
Somehow mount a lightweight floor jack and jackstands on the trunk roof to get rid of that
scissor jack crap
Work the underbody of the car to reduce aerodynamic lift, maybe even a hidden splitter at the rear if it helps..
best max ever... maybe 2800lbs, ~500whp
Also, don't forget all the other cars I'd have in my stable
And don't forget all the $ I'd donate to charity
And no I wouldn't sell it
that was just for the funnies
