Took the car to the garage today for some work.
Found out I gotta have half of the car replaced, so I need your advise on what brand parts I should get.
Looks like I'll be replacing the entire exhaust system, shocks, clutch, driver side ball joint. Everything is still stock on the car at about 200K km.
Any suggestion on parts. I'm looking at something better than OEM, but not too expensive. Price range would be helpful as well, and even better if you know a place to get the parts in the Toronto area.

Thanks to all.

Jeff

 

Exhaust: http://www.lssexhaust.com (in Canada)
Shocks: KYB GR-2 or Tokico Blues will do
Clutch: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/index.php?MaximaClutches

 

Thanks buddy!
I'll do more research into all this.
Anysuggestion on the clutch? there are quite a few of them. I like a soft feel, but I'll probably upgrade from OEM.
The link to exhausts is not working.

Thanks a lot for everything

 

If you really want to get it repaired on a good budger then shop around. Post in the 4th gen classified section for stock suspension, you should be able to get struts/springs for a very very good price. Clutch go with the 5th gen clutch, grabs well, better than 4th gen oem clutch. Exhaust if you dont care for performance and want stock still, post again for someones stock system, you should be able to pick it up for a steal.

 

Dunno - try the "OEM Nissan 5th Gen Maxima Clutch" I guess (I have an auto so never looked into clutches and stuff...)

Exhaust link works fine for me Try: http://thewrx.netfirms.com/lss/frame.htm

 

Didn't know 5th Gen. clutch fits 4th Gen.
I think I'll go with that one perhaps, unless someone can recommend a better one for the same price or cheaper.

Are those exhausts any good? I see they are part of Budget Exhaust, and some people I remember used to complain about them somewhat a lot. Fitting, performace and noise issues.
Correct me if I'm wront.

Thanks for the info guys!

 

5th gen clutch setup should run you right around $200.

 

Here's a link showing prices and part numbers for the 5th gen clutch:

Just drive over to their shop and have them install it since you'll need a stainless steel exhaust - they won't give you a crap part when you're right there lol
