hi everyone im goin to make a list on everything i want to do to my car and any recommendations for me to do and where to get it from but i want to spend average now i already installed nismo cold air intake and it sounds awesome and i dont think no one has put that in a maxima 06 yet but yea this is the list

1) performance chip (i want the governer outtt)
2) headers good ones
3) i want to put an exhaust and thinkin of magnaflow
4) brembo brakes but the whole nine yards the brake calipers the brakes, lines, and rators if you guess think something out there is better let me kno
5) engine spacers
6) sway bar
7) motor mounts
8) TIRES GOOD TIRES FOR GOOD MONEY
9) and how to restart the ecu on an 06 nissan maxima

thanks guys and hopefully by the new years everything will b done because its all ganna happen here thanks and let me kno

 

1.) TechnoSquare (google it)
2.) Cattman (a couple of months)
3.) Cattman (he has a few different options, PM him)
4.) Get some WilWoods from fastbrakes.com or just Brembo rotors with Hawk pads and SS brake lines from the G/D section (PM automax95)
5.) PM aaron92se (I think that's his name) NWP Intake Manifold Spacers
6.) You could just get NISMO f/r sway bars because they are slightly thicker than the other ones. OR if money is an issue, then get Cattman RSB and an Altima SE-R FSB
7.) Racingline MMI. You should also look into the FSTB (front strut bar), and f/r end-links that he provides.
8.) Toyo Proxes 4 have been known to be a very good tire. I have Falken FK-452's and they are actually pretty good. Thread life is kind of ****ty, but then again, I have done many high speed runs. I think I have about 25k miles on them, and another 5k should be achieved.
9.) By "restart," do you mean reflash, or what? If you get the TechnoSquare, then you wouldn't need to do this. If you want to do this to clear some codes, then just disconnect the negative battery terminal over-night. (make sure that your sun-roof is closed prior to doing this)

GOOD LUCK d00d!

 

Can i suggest something?

1) progress lowering springs
2) kyb gr2 struts
3) racingline fstb
4) racingline endlinks
5) y-pipe
6) HIDs
7) LED's
8) Tints
9) Active Tuning Grounding Kit
10) 07 Front Bumper and Rear Spoiler
11) Blacked Out Headlights

and the list goes on lol - you can never end modding with a car huh - well those are some suggestions, good luck and post pictures when you're done

 

When you do the Technosquare ECU make sure to send them a dyno printout with A/F to help them tune your car. Also If you plan on adding all of the things listed above, then the ECU reflash should be done last. And you might want to add some sort of piggyback tuning device to that list especially if you're running headers.

 

Whats the fun of getting everything at once??

IMO I rather get one part at a time for 2 reasons...

1) I am broke 95% of the time

2) I rather see the gains on each upgrade

I vote to do each mod one at a time. Enjoy each mod then move on when you want more power.

 

I agree...

Do it in stages like cherns doing.

 

So true, limits the focus if you run into problems of what all has been done.

 

u should space them out in stages like chern!
i like to do mods one at a time too... reasons are mods are expensive, if you into problems then u know where to look for right away, and keeps u loving ur maxi more n more =)
when u finish all the big mods all at once then next thing u know, u'll be like... ok now what?
so just take ur time!

 

would the 07 front bumper fit on an 04-06 without changing the headlights and fenders??

 

It sounds like your knowledge of the max is limited (not trying to be a jerk promise) but before modding your car might want to research some more. Not doing so can cost you more money or not investing in the right parts. As a side note I think that the suspension is not given enough love.

 

yea i am goin to do installation by stages ok does anyone know where in ny i can go get my car dyno and where i can get throttle body spacer for our cars

 

Great question!

I cant find a single shop out here in NY that can do a dyno.

Only person that might know is Ramberg. I will PM him and see what he says.

 

TB spacer comes w/ aarons kit ... for $219 bucks u get around 10-12 hp

install u can do yoruself if u work well w/ engine LOL

 

Also, I would encourage you to do the mods yourself with a Maxima friendly-friend. It is such a sucessful feeling to know that you did it 'all by your self'!

I was thrilled to learn about my car in the process of modding. I can take that knowledge and incorporate it elsewhere with the next vehicle I own.

Also, if you don't feel mechanically savvy enough, poke around while the mechanic is doing it and ask a ton of questions. Submit yourself to his knowledgde and pick his brain. You will gain priceless insight into your car and what an exquisite masterpiece it truely is.

Don't be afraid to ask and then get your hands dirty.

 

following post for upgrades for the 08

 

ok cool let me know about the dyno and where can i get the throttle body spacer??

A throttle body spacer by itself will not improve HP noticeably in the VQ35DE Maxima. But it is included in the NWP Engineering Thermal Intake Spacer Kit ffor insulating reasons. And the kit is dyno proven to show gains of 10hp and 12 ft-lbs of torque.

Feel free to read up on it and let me know if you have any questions.

Read up and get familiar with what you’re doing BEFORE you do it, self education requires countless hours of legwork. I'd suggest you get started ASAP.

 

there are several...google "ny dyno shops". I got my dyno tuning from Ralph and John's in Brooklyn for $150

 

Grim...Speedworld in Baldwin has a dyno. Its on sunrise highway. Lemme know if you wanna check it out. Also, ill vouch for T & R racing...ask for tony if you go there..hes a good dude. He rents his building from my co. and i also pick up his garbage there.

Thanks for posting this information. They work on my car and I will be going there after the holidays for tuning and a dyno.
Ask for Jr. and tell him you know Warren with the Max.
If you join nycmaxima.org you can get discounted work done there.

Besides my car they have done work on other 6th gens there. They also installed my hotshot headers.

 

[QUOTE=ramberg;6137309]Thanks for the extra info!

I am going to have to stick with MAX_ILLIN since the place he mentioned is pretty close to him and I though.

Plus the drive there... the road gets pretty horrible after exits 29 off the LIE.

We agreed to meet up on a Saturday and run down to speedworld. Maybe after holidays.

 

I've followed that through each of my mods!
