Well i made a 5yr luxury upgrade from a 1995 GLE Maxima to 2000 I30 loving it and now i want it better than it is

 

Congrats on the car...but what do you mean "i want it better than it is"? You mean start modding?

 

Yep most definetly now i know this is luxury so i cant do like i did on the max just suttle like suspension wheels and also i have been looking for the sound system upgrade but i dont think im gonna touch mine yet i like the sound
quality.

 

Well, it's automatic, so try a 5-speed conversion w/a maxima se tranny, so your car might actually move. Then go with a paradox systems body kit. JBL L7 12" subs, nice complimenting amp, upgrade the tweeters, and some component speakers.

 

190hp-227hp not too shabby of a jump. Enjoy the new ride.

 

For subtle upgrades, try 17" rims with some quality 225-50-17 or 235-45-17 tires (Dunlop SP Sport A2, Falken Ziex ZE-512, or BFG Traction T/A come to mind), lower it on Tein H-Tech springs or H&R springs and use Tokico Illumina struts (Or Tolico HP struts if you are on a budget). Add a generic Front strut tower bar from eBay and a "copycat" Stillen rear sway bar. The real Stillen is nice, but overpriced- you can get a direct copy on eBay for cheap.

 

Well these are plans btw now and next year
Illuminas/Tien's
rear sway
18" wheels
Y-pipe
Still thinking bout the intake system maybe nice looking short ram

 

also do the front side marker on the bumper turn on at all??

 

hey guys question will the stillen side skirts for a 5th gen fit onto 2000 max

 

I'm quite sure the side skirts for a 5th Gen Maxima will fit onto a 2000 Maxima.


As for whether they'll fit on an I30...I don't know. I'd say if the space between the wheel wells on the Max is the same as the space on the I30 that they'd fit.

 

Start by getting rid of those wheels that look like hubcaps. What was Infiniti thinking?

 

Looks good, have fun with it!

 

Yes, the sidemarkers should come on with the city lights and the headlights.

I've often wondered if Maxima sideskirts would fit our I's. I have been told that they would not fit for some reason, but I dont have any direct experience with them.

You can get the factory sport sideskirts from www.everythingnissan.com painted and all for like $450, and they look great.

 

Such a beauty. Looks just like mine...except mine have 17's.

Congrats!

I got the same car in the same color even except with a spoiler where in ny are u from im in LI

 

So luxury cars can't have turbo kits or nitrous oxide or anything fun like that?? Might as well take advantage of that vlsd and show some mustangs how to run a quick e/t with style and class.

 

Ok seems the car aint as preety on the inside when im crusing i cant down shift to third once the tach reaches about 5000 revs so is there a built in limiter for this car or could i just be SOL and have a bad tranny

 

im ways south dwon in Huntsville,AL

 

Why not take the O/D off before you get to 115 (or wherever you are in 4th @5000)

 

tried that same result its like the car starts sputtering at that point so it wont accelerate

 

Hmmm... How fast are you going at this point?

 

about 80-100mph pushing past hundred not done yet so i cant test out the real limits of the car so i dont know if its the tranny slipping or it could be the TB that could be stuck

 

That is wierd... the TB is easy to check, so I guess I'd do that first.

 

ok this is how it happens when i floor it the car seems unable to downshift even with the od off but a steady acceleration seems to almost get me there i will try and clean the TB this weekend but anyone know of anything else that could cause it

 

ok guys just want opinions not critics like we all are on these bulbs and look and can anyone tell what is missing

 

Where did your side markers go?

 

They have never come on ive had the car for only a month

 

So you dont have side markers at all? Are there holes there then?

 

I actually like them, go nice with the big body car like i 30. I wonder if anyone had them chromed....

 

Just change the bulbs. My side marker bulbs were burned out in the back, both of them. Changed it, looks grate!

 

You can find the chromed ones on ebay with the whole wheel exchange program. Just do a search on I30 wheels.

 

Regarding the issue you described as "sputtering when accelerating", you should check your Mass Airflow Sensor. I had the same symptoms and replacing the MAF completely eliminated the problem.

 

i really dont wanna start another thread so can anyone show me a link for a product that clears the plastic headlights because mine looks like it had something over it for a while and its made a shape of the part that was covered on the headlight and also a picture of the way the fogs are rewired i have read the write up just want a pic up for the way the wires need to be ran
