I just purchased a black 2000 SE 5 spd from a fellow member on here. It has stillen side skirts and rear, custom tails, AE headlights, 2002 wheels, aftermarket leather, Ground control and KYB AGX shocks and an intake.


I've been an org member for about 4 years. This is my 4th maxima. I was initially secretly shopping for a 2002/03 6 speed but the right car in the right condition and price is not easy to find..



looking forward to learning many things about the generation I hated upon first impression.
I feel like such a newbie

 

WELCOME to the better section

you sold the 4th gen that I saw at the track that day?

 

yup

the green 97 5spd running embarassing times (no need to mention them as i'd like to avoid all embarassment for now)


on another hand, previous owner of my new max ran a 14.8 with an intake only


which brings me to my 1st question which i haven't bothered to use the search for yet;

what are guys here running with intake/y-pipe combos?
i believe 4th gens are generally quicker than 00/01's in the quater mile.. true or not?

 

Welcome to maxima.org

 

I'd have to say that an awful lot of people are running the Frankencar intake with midpipe. For y-pipe, your most solid bet is Cattman. There's been some controversy whether Warpspeed y-pipes actually do anything.

BTW, something you may want to look into... Cattman headers are also out. But you probably already knew that.

your 5th gen and lots of luck!

thanks

Marco, I have your 2k2 wheels right? I just curbed one of them pulling out of my driveway like a dumbass , Val is going kill me.



Some things I noticed on the 1st drive to school today in comparison to my 4th gen:

- 3rd gear is gated further than how it is in 4th gens.. I had trouble hitting it as i'm used to the 4th gen
- TOP END
- interior is put together better than the 4th gen, less gaps, more tight, less rattles..
-more quiet inside
-clutch engages a lot lower

car is very solid, feels quicker,
but the low end is lacking a little bit.. no big deal.



scheduled mods:
-finish stillen kit with the front lip
-15 or 20% tint all around
-switching out the Ground Controls for some H&Rs.. i bottomed out the struts twice today in 15 miles driven

 

you curbed my rims....you are a dead man...i'd worry less on val and more on me...

 

is that the car with 109,000 miles?

 

yes. and 1 curbed rim.....soska.

 

Welcome to 5th gen. Its cool, i have many moreyears to go to master my car.

 

you must be from down south...

 

You must be from up North. Only an ignorant Yankee would make a comment such as that.

 

play nice boys and girls.

and dont' gimme that "he started"

 

stop mimicing my smilies

it was just a joke, calm down

 

haha yankee?.... ugh... dont mention that word again..... still heartache for my SOX

 

I was trying to convey my side of the joke without anyone taking me seriously.

 

Anyone know what Alabamans do for Halloween?

that was my laugh of the day
between that and arguing with an engineer that dumb and dumber WAS funny. she says it wasn't. i think it's a great film. buldog, ****zu, that's a classic.

 

Thought you'd like that 1

 

Thanks...I needed that!

 

dolboeb....that may be a good deal, but with high miles, he needs to get rid of it soon, or he won't get jack for it 2 yrs down the road

 

Dominican Republic is quite south from here.....

Ya'll know what the RedSox players/fans do for Holloween?
