A guy from nissan who i sell aftermarket parts to when nissan dealers themselves dont have them(they dont want you to know that so shhh) said i could buy performance parts from nismo.com...whats the deal with that....i see no max parts there, only skyline? but he insists...he gotta silly custom exhaust from them and i was just wondering if any of u's got more info

 

from what i can tell, Nissan Motorsports views the maxima as a station wagon or something useless and therefore doesn't make any parts for it. Maybe when they come to the US, they will realize the power the maxima has and the fear it inflicts on honduhs. Then maybe they'll make some parts

 

thanks for that info...but are these bad boys form nissan coming soon???

 

Well I kinda like the maxima not having a huge moding support. That way it keeps all the little 16 year old dishwasher boys from ricing out the maxima's. I mean for instance I was at a local fast food joint and I think every kid in there has a civic thats modded out like crazy. Since we have a low demand on modding parts the price is higher but who cares.

Ricer's

 

HEY! so what if i wash dishes and im 16? i would never rice out my car

 

i care.

 

no shlt, i'm 17 and carry TWO jobs and all i do on the weekends is MAKE FUN of rice. don't f***ing stereotype

 

nismo is going to make parts for the VQ

 

You should do the clearence light mod.
It's easy... Someone can give you the link to it.
Or you can just cut the top nipple of the light off
and then insert them in the high voltage place

 

which VQ?

 

only works for 97+

 

o....
haha im lucky eh?
^^

 

i'll take my faster 96 gxe over a cleared-out, clearance-moded 97 anyday

 

You can do that mod to all 4th gens. There are three wires. Take the two that are not black and splice them together. One is an 8v the other is 24 or somethin like that. Then they will always be bright.

 

Noooo, the nipple thing works with allll 4th gens. i have a 95 and i did it, took me 15 mins. dont worry about splicing wires.

 

to make the clearance lights brighter? all the time? does it affect the turn signals at all and have you burned any bulbs yet?

 

yes, yes, nope, nope

its not bad, what happens is when you turn your turn signal on, the light brightens to 27 watts so you can see the road that you are turning onto. when no turn signal is on it is at 8 watts. so all you are doing is leaving it on 27 watts all the time.

 

for real! you got something against 16 year olds or something?

 

me? noo, im 16 and wash dishes

 

alright, you've got my attention and i don't feel like searching. lemme know how

 

not that hard, take off the fixture and then pull the bulb harness out. after that take out the bulb. on the metal part under the glass there are two nubs. find the one closest to the glass and grind with a file or cut it off. then put the bulb back in so that it is really bright. (do some experimenting) if the bulb is loose as mine was, simply bend in the harness a little bit so its a snug fit.

purpose of taking off the nub is so that you can insert the bulb 180 degrees from the original position.

there, i hope that explains it, its kinda late and i just got off work. (washing dishes, BTW)

 

i'll try it, thanks!

 

no prob, glad i could help

 

im 17 and i do dishes sometimes...
I study and race...

 

no, i was refering to infinitiblast's comment, and agreeing with you at the same time.
