I have a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE, with 50,000 miles on it and in great condition.

I wanna Do some serious work to it, and eventually put in the stillen supercharger.

I just spent a few g's on the following things, and im planning to spend prolly about 7-10g's more on it within the near future, next month or two.

i have purchased the following already
Catback Stillen Exhaust
Stillen Y-Pipe
Stillen frt.Strut-bar
Stillen re. Strut-bar
Stillen re. Sway-bar
Eibach Springs-
Tokico Illumina adj. Shocks
Middle Eastern Variable Intake Manifold


I have been reading alot on the forums, and ive been hearing such things as headers and other things are not worth getting ect ect. all advice would be apprieciated.

so far im planning on doing the following in the new 2 months

19? Rims and tires-
AP Big Break 4 Piston-
Stillen Rear Pads-
Stillen Slotted Rear Rotors-
Stillen Sports Breaklines-



perform Fuel injectors-
perform Fuel Pump-
perform Ignition-
Stillen Oil Cooler-
Stillen Supercharger-
Stillen Short Shifter-
Stillen clutch-
Stillen Alum Flywheel-

I basically have someone installing most of the things for low cost for me, so most of the install is pretty much covered for anything not to serious.

please post any thing else you think i would need, or if there is something on the list that you think i dont need. Please include the brand and as much information as possible. also the reasoning behind it would be appriciated

thanks so much

PS: also i wanted to know should i return the stillen y-pipe and just get the cattman header and pipe combo for $750?? which would be more efficent im confused ( HELP!

Well, first of all, I don't know why you went with Stillen for all that crap. They are just ripping you in every category.

1. You don't need to spend $200 on FSTB....get it from ebay for like $20 and it is just as good, unless you are going to have a show car.
2. You definitely don't need a RSTB. They are useless if you get a RSB.
3. Stillen RSB, although overly expensive, cool because of being adjustable.
4. Good springs and struts.
5. Stillen exhausts are as loud as you can get. They don't really sound all that good, that is why you will not see it on very many cars at all. I would just get custom b-pipe done at a muffler shop for like $50. Get 2.5" and you will be good. Then, just pick out some muffler you like, or just stay with the stockie. (I upgraded to a 5th gen, and I love it. Totally quiet.)
6. Go ahead and take the MEVI back. You have a 98 so you cannot get an ECU upgrade. Because of the ECU dilemma, you will not be able to have a raised rev-limiter and redline, so you will not really get any use out of the MEVI. Trust me. I have a 99 and it is the same situation for me.

Hope any of this helps......
Happy modding....

 

the rstb is just as good at stiffening the rear as the rsb is, so i'd keep it. in essence the rsb does nothing except play with everyone's mind and make them think it does something. with our rear beam suspension there is minimal sway in the rear as is. anyways. i would suggest ditching some of that stuff and going straight for the supercharger.

 

Well if he plans on getting a supercharger in the future, he's prolly gonna want to keep the MEVI with or without the raised rev limiter.

 

brodaddy is right....u definatly did not need to buy all STILLEN products....there are products out there that are way cheaper and perform just as well....

 

but its ur $...do what u want....WEll at least u have mostly all stillen aftermarket parts....
