Well here is my Maxima #3 - a 2001 Anniversary Edition 5-speed Black/Black. Bought her from the original owner, bone stock, in mid april 2010. She had a few issues that I had to fix and didn't put her on the road until mid may. I have done a few mods to her so far such as:
Stillen Kit
Tein S-Tech Springs
KYB GR2 Struts
G35 Coupe 19" Rays Wheels
245/35/19 Nexen 3000 Tires

I recently completed a bunch of maintenance to her as well such as: new MAF, spark plugs, amsoil mtg 75w90 tranny fluid, cleaned throttle body, oil change, passenger control arm with ball joint, rear brake pads, neutral/reverse position switch, cabin filter, new alternator, and a few other items. She was in disgusting shape when I bought her, and the body is still full of flaws that I plan on fixing.

I have a few more mods planned for her (tinted windows, budget y-pipe, frankencar intake, full aftermarket audio, 3000k yellow fog hids, 4300k headlamp hids, etc). I really didn't want to mod a maxima again, but I decided to get her as a "run-about" car when I sold my G35, so that I could eventually buy a condo downtown toronto.

Anyways enough with the rambling and onto some pics...












and a pic of my old G35 for giggles...

 

Looks good. I like the drop as well.

 

looks good. what happen to Ae areo kit?

 

Looks extremely clean. Keep it up.

 

Looks great, perfect drop!

 

In Canada the AE never came with a kit, otherwise I would have never gotten the stillen.

 

looks cleannnn
what size rims do you have on there??

 

silly me, i was thinking maybe he brought it in canada. then i see where your from! oh well yall get a lot of better options on rare cars anyway. g/l with it

 

thats sick. didnt come with AE head lamps either?

 

there are AE headlamps on it, camera didn't pick them up well I suppose

 

thanks. 19x8" infront and 19x9" in rear

 

very nice man *thumbs up*

 

thats on s techs???


must be the tire size. i have same wheels and im trying to decide what size tire to get as i currently hate my thin sidewall right now.

 

Yeah, s-techs are damn low, but they are very soft and I am starting not to like that because I keep bottoming out. Eventually I expect to have to replace many front end components because of it (axles, etc).

The overall tire diamater is almost identical (just 0.4% less) compared to factory, and that is one of the primary reasons why I went with 245/35/19

 

I am thinking of doing the 2002-2003 front end as well instead of repainting the current front end, but I really don't wanna drop anymore cash on this car....but the 2k2/2k3 front end looks quite a bit more modern and agressive.

 

i remember your old 4th gen, i can only imagine how hot this 5th gen is gonna look like with time

 

so he took the AE kit off for the stillen??? thats a first... where is the AE kit, dibs on the sides and rears lls... looks good, get some lower profile tires or coilovers

 

Canadian AEs didn't get the body kit so he added the Stillen

 

nice maxima...
my recommendation, no window tint.

 

didnt giggle at the G35 pic, the AE looks really nice...

 

looks good.

 

Looks good

 

I like the fog lights better on the 5.0 front end, but that's just my opinion. I put the 5.5 HID's on my AE though and I love the look. I may have missed it but how many miles?

 

I may actually not consider doing anymore mods anymore as I focus on other things in my life.
It has 165000 km which is ~102000 miles

 

IMO woulda kept the AE lips, but drop and rims look real nice

 

Just curious, what is the 4th gen dropped on?

 

welcome back to the forums. Nice pick up and looks clean

 

thanks jsmax. not sure how long ill be around, to be honest i think i made a bad choice modding it and getting caught up with it.

thesilvermax - the 4th gen is dropped on groundcontrol adjustable springs with kyb agx struts.

 

I really like this car. Props.

 

Looks good ... Any plans for 5.5 gen headlights?

 

looks good!!!

so youve had that sick 4th gen, the 5th gen now, and had a g35?! n whos 4th gen is that in the pics?

 

no plans for 5.5 gen headlamps, or any other mods for the moment. i was considering an entire 5.5 gen front end (headlamps, bumper, grille), but have decided not to waste anymore money on it. the car really needs new paint, at least the rear bumper and front bumper. if i decide to keep it, I will be getting a budget y-pipe, new exhaust tip finishers to sit flush with the stillen kit, and installing the HID's that I have (3000k yellow for fogs and 4300k for headlamps). I also still have to install my frankencar intake, and thoroughly clean the engine bay.

despite driving smoothly and quiet, it is slow. i was considering selling it for a 5.5 gen or a 3.5 5spd altima. the problems with the 02/03 maximas (oil burning and notchy/grinding 6 speeds) scare me. however my 3.5L never burned a drop of oil in my G35.

the 4th gen in the picture is friend of mine, I do not think he is on maxima.org.

 

really like how the wheels look. i think ill opt to go 18s instead

 

nice car, prefer the AE kit tho....

I too went from a sterling 4th to an AE

 

wow looks great man

 

Looks clean keep it up

 

Damn that garage looks awesome! Where is that?

 

Thanks guys. Garage is the Ingram Micro / Wells Fargo building at Hwy 10 and Brittania in Mississauga, ON Canada.

I got bored of the car very fast, and returned it back to bone stock. It has been parked for the last 7 months, and will be used as my winter car. I have a different project now (which I am also starting to get bored of lol):

 

not a bad GT

 

paint job looking brand new lol
