n00b questions....

Hey, i'm a noob to all this modifying car stuff. I was wondering, how can you tell if your car is 5spd or 6? is 1 stick and the other auto or something? Another thing is, how easy is it to install mods? i.e cold air intake, angel eye headlights, dash kit ect ect....sorry for such dumb questions but hey, everyone starts somewhere don't they? Thanks for all your time, I really appriciate it!

If you have a manual Maxima thats 2k-2k1, its a 5 speed. If its a manual Maxima thats 2k2-2k3 , its a 6 speed. Its the number of gears the manual tranny has. If you have an automatic Maxima, it only has 4 gears. Some mods are easier to install than others, but from your questions Im going to assume you dont have a lot of mechanical knowledge. Intakes take about 30 minuites or so to install.... but you might just want to pay someone, or have a local Org member help you.

you really really should consider installing some of the stuff on your own. If you can turn a wrench you can install an intake.

I'm asking politely, please make your sig a little less 'tall'. Even use a table and put the flag to the right of the text would be nice.
