What would you do to your MAX if...

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.

I would drop in a muscle car motor, prolly a V8 what ever I can fit in there, black out everything (make everything on the outside black), and make it a sleeper. I pull up to the track, with somebody driving a Dodge Viper (no offence, just saying), and just show him how to really race.

I would do some minor mods to make it a lil nicer and keep it for daily driving bcus I will buy some crazy *** car to have fun.. If I can find a r35 you can bet I will get one and a bmw m3,m5,m6 sl65 amg and the cl65, range rover sport, Evo 9 mr, s2000 and a small Eco box for my mom.. LOL

At least 2 things. Put in a new 3.5, and change to a full cattman exhaust. Because after winning the lotto, you're gonna want that 3.5 and cattman exhaust.

i would drop a vq35 in it, get my boy to TT it and just build it out, get a sarona r32 style kit as well as a CF hood and trunk, lambos, convertible hard top, a killer stereo, pimp out the inside and paint it cadillac pearl white.
didnt go into a whole lot of detail

Suspension upgrade (shocks, springs, rear sway bar) & Cattman cat-back. The AE body kit, which did not come on the Canadian AE, eyelids (?) and roof 1/2 spioler(?). Complete repaint, same color of course. Maybe a bit of engine tweaking and transmission reworking or MT swap. Then consider buying a Gen7.

For fun get a 300ZX TT or 350Z and stuff the drivetrain (built up of course) under the wife's Axxess, with a chopped top and box flared fenders. Of course the fully equipped garage/shop, along with the attached house, would have to be procured.

I thought about this last time I washed it actually. I would get a high end custom shop (like a Foose or Rad Rods by Troy) and modify the body into a 2 door coupe. You know lengthen the front doors to include half of the back door area, move the post, weld in the back doors (that would now be shorter) and get custom glass made.

Some good ideas here, I need a repaint myself. That burgundy color is hot too. BTW, I have a 1/2 roof spoiler kickin around if you're interested. It's black though.

THIS idea is hot too, would you chop the roof too?

Honestly, if someone I knew needed a car and I had enough money, I would buy them one. I love my Maxima. To have it the way I described it at the beginning of the thread is my dream. That car would own. Where's your Maxima spirit brah? lol

I sold mine for various reasons, so I'd buy her back, (for a ridculous price, just so I could have her again) have her repainted, fix all the little nags she had that bothered me, and then sit back and do one thing at a time.

I like performance, but not into the AWD club. I would work with what I had and slowly improve it. I would do the spacers, work my way to the fstb and then start making changes to the tranny and engine in preparation for the turbo.

Then I'd track and dyno her.

I am not into a lot of other cars. There are a few that I would buy and store, but this was really one of my first loves.

Oh yeah, I'd buy a refining platform. Drill for and refine my own friggin' oil.

Fine...I'd chop it off from right behind the driver's seat and turn it into the shortest Maxima ever. This would ensure I can get 30 miles to the gallon on a consistent basis and I can fit in small parking spaces. There's my Maxima spirit BRAH!

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 keep it. I would drop in an M35 motor and have it supercharged from bespoke, put on the most expensive forged 20's, stillen kit and be done. I would work a part time job still, and buy an M5, Lexus LS460, G37 sedan from overseas and VIP all of the rides except the max. huge 1 story home with lots of land and be DONE
