Here is whats on my list:

Ksport coilovers (on the way)
19" wheels (purchasing as soon as coilovers r on)
Greddy SP2
Viper alarm.
tranny flush
RSB
new pads
complete detailing

what about u?

 

y-pipe
tint
electronics and interior customizations
body repairs

 

gr2's + springs (undecided)
new valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals, etc.
change tranny fluid (going to royal purple)
new control arms
ss clutch line (have had forever)
other various maint issues

 

Keep saving for 17" Rota Subzero's
Re-do vinyl door pillars
Possibly LED the interior

That's probably about it.

 

Switch to synthetic oil (perhaps September)
Annual detail (probably July)
Drive it.

 

I would reccomend Redline MT-90 or AMSoil over royal purple.

 

Everybody who doesn't already have a Haynes manual, or alternatively Chilton's, should buy one and become conversant with it. There will be no book report in September.

 

Stuff already done:
- led the climate controls, hazard, and defrost
- replace front RH fender
- front bumper conversion to 99 SE style
- install side marker lights on fenders
- fresh coat of paint
- hand wax and polish

Things to do soon:
- Replace hood bumpers
- Replace upper radiator brackets
- Replace hood release cable
- Fix antenna
- Rotate / Balance the wheels
- Replace my aftermarket fog lights

Things to do in about 8k miles:
- Full tune-up
- Put in new ignition coils (hope the cylinders are still free of oil leaks)
- Replace o2 sensors
- Replace KS
- Replace K&N panel filter

Fun times ahead.

 

Im really not sure how this goes, but after seriously driving my max for a few days, it seems slow as fawk, and its my first car...even my friend's auto cavalier feels faster for some reason. No CEL, but i guess i'll drive to autozone and i REALLY REALLY hope i have a faulty knock sensor because i had high hopes for the maxima quickness, but its not providing that at the moment. I know a 5th gen 3.0 is supposed to be A BIT faster than the 4th gen, but my dad's 5th gen is 45213452345 times faster than my 4th gen!!!

Sometime during the summer, i'll drive over to Felix's and order a y pipe without my parents knowing because i need more power, i can't stand this ******* slowness. I disconnected the intake resonator under the battery tray, and now i cant even spin the tires from the line...WTF?!? Connected it back, and i STILL can't spin the tires from the line, and no, i dont have sticky rubber.

My other plans were to get rims, but a smart man named doodfood talked me out of getting rims for a non lowered car, and now i understand why he told me that. If all goes well with the new high paying job i have, i might get my parents to let me lower the car w/ my $$, and maybe then i'll save up for some volk rims. I realized that being cheap is not the way to go with rims.

damn feels like i just typed an essay

 

save for either a new max/xterra/ or an IS300....

 

You done good, 4x4 Max. At least what you typed can be understood!

 

5spd swap over a weekend if I can find a tranny. I have all the other parts. I will have red/clear tails in a few weeks. I'm starting my first job on Monday though and will probably dedicate a lot of time to it before my car meaning Saturdays in the office.

 

stuff done already but not listed:
cf hood
red/clears

summer:
hids
sound system
and then later on s/c

or i should just save for a 350z/g35 since i can now easily make the payments

-RSB
-Y-pipe, cat, b-pipe, muffler (rusted)
-00VI (next spring)

I should be doing all of this in about 1 week:> Stillen Body kit, Directional mirrors, rear glass wing,Custom Grille and repairing some body marks like scratched bumpers, chips in hood, etc. I've been sitting on these parts for a while now and glad there finaly going on my max.

wow, don't know how u managed to do that.

to do list:
- reinstall the whole gauge cluster (reverse glows have been givin me some problems)
- custom paint the 2 window switch bezels (rears already done)
- fix stupid stuck AC button
- waitin for another OEM grille to come in
- paint the grille once it comes in
- radiator flush
- smoked cefiro's

 

greddy sp2 and cattman's full headers setup. then i'm done with all N/A mods i guess.

 

where are you getting your red/clears? making your own?

 

I like your **** lights(the car)

 

Got my Max in Jan so it was bone stock and I started a few weeks ago (except for my head unit and box which I did 3 days after I got the car)

OEM spoiler - few weeks ago
Clear corners - 2 weeks ago
Red/clears - last week
HIDs - 2 days ago
Swap the 15" steelies for 2k1 SE rims - on the way
Suspension (S-Tech, Illuminas, RSB, FSTB) - in 3 weeks
Complete brake job (rotors, pads, ss lines) - in 1.5 months
Interior LED work - whenever...
And of course careful maintenance and care of the body and engine.

 

Getting them from an org member.

 

Skyline kit, interior upgrade (seats, shifters, dash, etc.)

Edit - Illuminas installed!

 

repair a stillen lip for my car and get it paintedrecarpet my door panels in black valure"simulated suede"

get a kappa perfect and a mono block or 2 channel amp

intall an alternator from jsutter a good man

new brake hardware, front pad, and some good rotors

and lastly save some money for lowering the 4x4

 

If they where available for the 95-96's, that would be nice!

Konak85, his is readily available, good luck finding red/clears under $400, 97-99 dont have to worry about that.

The "under $400" was Ebay end of auction pricing

 

What are you doing with those factory wheels?...

 

Y-pipe (soon as it comes)
GReddy SP2 catback
2 spare track wheels/tires
Keep maint. ahead of schedule
Toyota RED anti-freeze
front pads (to improve initial bite)

 

i just got a few grand from a federal pell grant, so plans would be
-00VI
-Warpspeed B-Pipe w/ Resonator
-Lightweight 18" wheels (not sure which one tho) w/ P235/40R18 Kumho Ecsta Supra tires (cuz my dad gets wholesale prices on Kumho tires)
-OEM Cefiro headlights w/ 4300K hi/lo HID kit (already purchased, except the HID kit)
-Red-out the amber on my taillights
-Front Bank O2 Sensor
-Redline MT-90 Manual Tranny Fluid
-5th gen clutch (purchased already, waiting for stock clutch to go out)
-Slotted rotors (stock brakes have been resurfaced so much, its thinning) w/ some new brake pads (not sure which one)

the list is probably going to grow, but hopefully ill get most or all of this stuff done by the end of the summer, my maxima is going to be a completely different car, at the moment, it looks too stock, only modded giveaway the fact that its lowered, shaved emblems, and clear bumper lights.

 

Lowering tomorrow, then in no specific order, the basics:
all-out wash, claybar, polish and wax, she needs it bad
ditch all the ugly orange!
front and rear strut bars
intake
ypipe

 

im getting turbo'd.

 

Hmm...ideally I will get a full time position at work so I can afford this all, but here's my current list of future mods:

-clear corners
-switching to synthetic oil
-ypipe (not sure what brand--something quiet)
-k&n filter
-new muffler to replace my rusty one (probably just OEM)
-brighter headlight bulbs (Silverstars maybe?)
-speakers (Infinity's)
-blue interior LED's (if I could find somebody to help me!)
-chrome gauge rings
-maybe a new CD deck
-possibly a spoiler?
-at some point I'd like to get an I30 back seat with headrests then reupholster it to match my car
-pay off my car! Which is why I won't be able to do this all!

In a perfect world, I would be saving up for a 300ZX and a used Toyota 4Runner as well...

 

Now that I finally replaced my worn-down clutch with a 5th gen one, here's what I have in my list:

1) AGX + S-Tech + good alignment
2) Budget or Cattman Y-pipe
3) custom 2.5" B-pipe
4) change muffler from Flowmaster Delta 40 to Magnaflow axle-back
5) hopefully by mid-fall, custom paint job (something like a silver or smoke gray)

 

New muffler, 2.5 exhaust tubing, new strut mounts and boots, hopefully front illuminas, a little fiberglass for the audio, tweeters in A pillars (done last week), get a full tank of gas!!!

 

Axle change
AGX +S+Techs+Alignment
Timing chain tensioner changed
Orange LED interior (Almost done Just finished the Bose)
Hard wire power inverter (just did fews hours ago)
New corner lights (hopefully diamond cut if custom maxima gert them in stock)
Corner bulbs rewire
side markers install
