Alright guys. I purchased this 2002 Maxima (GXE?) back in October. It's a 3.5L VQ35 (obviously) hooked up to a 4AT which i've actually learned to accept since the VQ makes up for it. haha (still looking for 6sp swap though) haha but anyways, I figured I'd made enough progress to start posting pics of it.

I'm more into the JDM and Hellaflush scenes:hide: so don't hate if you don't like it. hah feedback and comments are welcomed though! Let me know what you think. :D

The first week i got her :)

First Modification performance wise was the Greddy N1 style Catback (OBX) exhaust...

I'll post a link of how it sounds once i get it uploaded! :shy:

I ordered the half size roof spoiler from ionic dynamics from this forum. GREAT PRODUCT!! highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice subtle cosmetic addition that wont break the bank. hah

LEAVE COMMENTS GUYS!! i wanna know what you think! wheels and suspension are in the near future! graduating this spring so hopefully those will be gifts :)

I expected to see some stance with all of those stickers.

Still rolling on the stock 5 spoke 16's eh? you mentioned wheels and suspension for graduation.....what sort of setup you thinking?

Qft

its coming! trust me! haha i wouldnt have put them on if there wasnt going to be. patience my friend lol


D2 coilovers and Rota Grids or Rota D2's in 17x9 +20 offset. not sure on tires as of yet but they should be heading my way soon, bcuz i dont think i can wait that long to wait for them after gettting graduation money. ive been looking at wheels all day basically trying to decide. any other suggestions? possibly brake upgrade too this summer. just not for sure yet. injen intake will be a definite right after stancing. anything else will be for future notifications lol

so how much horsepower did you get after all those stickers

dude the only situation where stickers are remotely ok (and I mean remotely) is if the car has a nice suspension and wheel setup. Isn't it kind of poserish if you have the hellagay (oops) stickers without the "wide stance"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...=Wide%20Stance

don't you have a sticker called "not sponsored by mommy and daddy"


he said 50

Maybe it's an insider? :gotme:

Hey man, you mind taking 5-7 m ore pictures of this sticker. I'm thinking of buying it I just need some more angles. The ones you provided aren't enough for me.

Looks like a GXE. Not a fan of the stickers but everything else looks good.

Yeah, stickers and wink mirrors aren't for me... Nice mods so far...

Mirror is HUUUUGE lol

^^^+1, i never liked those golf cart mirrors either. i'll settle with my 360mm broadway

car looks good so far

hah ive said multiple times shoes are on the way. ill be getting some money for graduation. they arent buying the wheels ha. and yea dyno proven near 50hp for the stickers hahaha.

hah everyones got their own taste. but thanks! ha once wheels come and suspension is dialed in i may take off some to keep some ppl quiet. haha:rolleyes:

trust me, its not just gonna be those lol im gonna try to stance the crap out of it! haha but btw, love your build! you like the turbo setup? hope to get to your level someday. hah maybe, possibly.. ehh who knows. hah

I'm not gonna lie, I like the placement of pedobear by the license plate.

Hey man, I'm still waiting on the 5-7 angles on the hoodrat sticker. I want to see how it looks in different angles before I make my investment.

i know where a 6 speed is. It is actually where got my 5 speed. guy has a 3.5 6speed manual 1600 obo 34xxx miles out of an 04 ser price included everything for me to do the swap unfortunatley all i had that day was a grand but he still has it. you could pull w.e you need

yeah that is pretty nice placement...


pedobear, in the rear ;)

Agreed. Car will look cleaner without the stickers IMO. But yeah, thats a GXE. Very rare to find in a 5.5, but based on the no fogs, wheels, and door handles, it's most likely a GXE with factory-installed spoiler.

Probably one of the worst Maxima's I've seen with all those ugly azz stickers.

^^ damn

The stance people are the modern equivalent of the ricer show-car people of the late 90's. Replace vtec type r stickers, bodykits, altezza lights, neon paint, lighting, and fart cans WITH wheels, coilovers, "ill" stickers, drift charms, and golfcart mirrors and its the same thing. 5-10 years from now people will think its the dumbest thing ever and only mexicans will be doing it (no offense to any mexicans)

hey man cool thanks for the info! ive been dying to find one!

at least i get one compliment. hah

it had SE tags.. maybe i should go check title and all first. haha never thought of that. thanks for the info! maximas are all new field for me.

you being serious or just an azzhole lol?

LOL... I graduated HS in '99 so I know all about those ricers.

so the stickers got old real fast! hah cleaned it up and just gave it a little "illest" touch.. i like this much better.

**QUESTION.. coilovers and lip kit first.. or wheels and tires? all comments welcome

if you need wheels and tires, do that first.

If you don't, then Coilovers and wheels/tires. imo

lol same... i got about 10 stickers sitting here at home but dont feel right putting them on unless im at least lowered...

i like the car, not much for the exhaust choice but decent imo i guess

the stickers only got old because you're driving a 4x4 right now. should have kept them.

Justin Bieber drives a maxima..:eek:..i cant believe it..

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

coilovers first, simple, you dont need a lip

I had to.
