Ok, I've had some issues lately with my car... getting repo'd, my a/c went out... I shorted something.... so the car is gonna get fixed, whether I like or not... any how... I'm thinking of doing the following... do the 97 conversion, with stillen lip... get some sideskirts, rear aftermarket bumper, keep the altezza skyline for now...but afterwards with some extra money where gonna go with the carbon fiber hood, and trunk... drop the car... with some springs and new struts/shocks....get those euro headlights, apc clears, do the vq hybrid motor...and get some volk gram light rims.... in other words i want to rice out the car in a stylish reasonable way.....I dont know if any if you have seen the 350z,G35,Skyline R34, and so on .... with the s-tune decals.... and the s-tune look... its looks clean.... I was thinking about making the maxima the same.....Give it a sort of aggressive look.... what do you all think??? Should I ? or should I not?

 

I would have to be selling wee* for more than a year to gather all the money needed to do all that... lol

 

How many miles on the car? To throw all that money into a 95, which I suspect is a high miler, is like tossing it down a sink hole. Don't waste your money.

 

fine.... lets assume I start with a 99 sterling mist color, 5-speed, with black leather interior.... would it be worth the whole look i'm trying to go for?

 

If money is no object and the car is low mileage and you plan on keeping it for a long time and you won't b!tch later on that you're tired of the look and its back to the drawing board and let's start all over again, sure go for it. But somehow I don't think that money is no object with you so why don't you save the money and put it towards something worthwhile, like an education, lol! I'm only coming at you from this angle because I p!ssed a boat load of money away on cars when I was young and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't do it. But I guess its all part of a learning experience. What is your girl friend's advice? Don't have one? Then work on that angle, lol!

 

why was the car getting repo if u didnt make payments on it how r u going to rice it

 

uh... chicagomax, it was a mistake the repo/my loan company made....

 

why...are...you...obsessed...with...the...ellipsis ...?

w...t...f....

 

i have a 95, 177k on the dash and it still runs strong, minimal repairs, i think you underestimate the reliability of the max greatly

and i think if you wanna go for the s-tune look go for it, just be prepared for a lot of work and be ready to dump alot of time and money into the project

 

I asked NismoMaxman2 not you, PTownMax. I have 57,852 miles on my 95SE and I haven't underestimated the reliability of the max greatly. I know damn well they'll last for 250 - 300K or longer if looked after.

So far I haven't had a response from Nismo concerning my queries. Given that he still owes money on the car, it is incomprehensible to me how he could possibly afford to dump the money into the car that he would like to. All I'm saying is its a bad economic decision.

Take out a piece of paper. Draw a horizontal line across near the top of the page. Then draw a vertical line down the middle of the horizontal line and label the top left "pros" and the top right "cons" and start writing. Come back in a day or two and revisit and expand the list. After a week, give your head a shake and forget about the exhaustive list of mods you propose for your car and spend your money on paying it off and maintaining it.

 

re-read what you wrote and maybe you'll see where i was coming from

 

sounds great .. ! keep everyone posted... NISMO !!

 

what is gonna make this car an s-tune, is it just the name of the project or are there actual s-tune nismo parts available. sounds like a good project, keep workin at it

 

i think you have a big wish list, and it all sounds well and good but you have to consider that unless you have a lot of knowledge on installing and tuning, you're just going to be pissing away money....... you'll get a third of the way into it and realize you are way over your head

 

I couldn't have said it better. You sound pretty smart to me, max96mike!

 

save money buy used g35 coupe

 

start slanging key's.

 

D@mn, Im glad you said that. I'll give up on my ride a.s.ap.
Thanks.

 

Ki's.........................................

 

I'm not suggesting that anyone give up on their ride, but affordability and common sense should prevail. There is a difference between "I have to have" and "I need."

 

That is a consideration one definately needs to take before modding a vehicle.
One, you will NEVER get back what you put into. Thats just a plain fact.
Two, fixing an older car may have some issues, but once their addressed and taken care of right thats it. When you are complete, the car can be just as good as new.
Three, modding a car thats older or paid for is a lot easier on the wallet.
parts are a bit cheaper (thanks to salvage yards) and no warranties to deal with.

 

Wow! I some you guys responded, I owe like $600 on the dam car, aight $600.00 thats all, yes I can pratically just pay it off with half of my check, but I'd rather not (I'd rather **** away my money in some other stuff). Yes Mzmtg i'm obsessed, i find your comment funny..... anyways, I really doubt nismo makes s-tune parts for our car, I would like the look of a clean sleek sporty car. I mean if you all seen pics of the s-tune and r-tuned skyline, g35, m45, 350z, sentra, and 240s they look clean, and mostly stock, with maybe a lip and the s-tune decal. I think a maxima with that kinda of setup would look mad dope. Especially a sterling mist, with black leather interior. I'll do my thing, and see how it turns out. If it pans out, I'll post of course, and if it doesnt, like soo many, this will be another dead post.
