Once again, thanks....David
I am an NX fan, they have treated me very well. They also have a lifetime warranty on the solenoids and will even rebuild them for free every year if you wish. Cost of the kit is in the $400 range, the kit you want is part #20923.

Sounds good to me. I've got a few other upgrades to make first (CAI/Y-pipe) and the NX kit you posted WILL be the next step.

Why not?
. . . . . Also, it's N2O, not NOS. Let's get back on topic.

because i think its pointless to modify a automatic car i think its rice. if he was gonna do anything just do exterior modifactions and interior dont do any performance mods. if he did do a performance mod do just a intake. he will run a bigger risk of blowing a automatic transmission then as if it were a manual.

The fastest nitrous Maxima is an automatic. The fastest all motor Maxima is an automatic. They are only fragile in the hands of the unlearned.

Can you guys post pics of the fuel tap?

I have an afpr, so would I tap in BETWEEN the fuel rail and the afpr?

wow some good info. i was planning to go sc but maybe cost wise n2o might be better. i like the zex kit because of its ease (or look) of the setup. probably go 75 shot wet. working on headers exhaust and all. what do you guys do as far as tuning the car for spray? oh mine is a 95 se 5spd. i have run big block, sbc, v10, turbo and sc cars. maybe time for some spray

Honestly, I think Turbo or S/C is cheaper in the long run. Nitrous gets expensive after you factor in the cost to keep refilling it

Here's mine from a few years ago... on page 2 of this thread. Shot was more like 100. Not for stock motors. Let me know if you have questions.

Bottle mounted in the same place as last time.


no throttle or window switch this time... button is IN the steering wheel .

how did you get the button in the steering wheel

btw is that a cord I see coming from the back of the button and steering wheel, if so I pretty sure I know how you did it but was hoping you had routed it somhow thur the wheel

I wanted to use my cruise buttom but I am a 5-speed now and use that hand for shifting

So what do you think of the Kinetix intake manifold? More/less power than you expected??? Did you ever try a SSIM ?

And does what I see bolt onto the stock LIM or are upper and lower manifolds made by Kinetix ???

Yeah , I know, lots of questions, but I'm looking for an intake beyond the SSIM for my new build, and I've been thinking about the Kinetix as maybe possible. Need lots more air flow at those higher RPMS, you know.

As we all know there are plenty of mixed feelings about the Kinetix, about how it doesnt compare to the ssim, it doesnt give you good gains all motor and it costs to much and it goes on and on there have been plenty of flames thrown on this thing but people have their own opinion and thats ok. But for ME, I purchased the Kinetix because I knew I was gonna spray nitrous, I didnt get it for an N/A application. I will say it distributes the nitrous VERY well/evenly and I gained more power on the nitrous than I thought I would. With the Kinetix the car picks up over 75hp to the wheels on a 75shot and it picks up over 100hp to the wheels on the 100shot. I will put it this way on motor the car made 225, and on a 100shot the car made 342 so I was VERY pleased with the outcome and the car is an automatic, the car doesnt have headers or cams so that pleases me even more. I'm not even close to some of these other org. members N/A but the nitrous more than makes up for where I lack I thought about giving the SSIM a whirl, I still have my stock manifold laying in my garage so I may hack it up myself and see how it compares to the Kinetix on the nitrous.. Kinetix only makes the UIM, and it is a direct bolt up to your LIM, know the thing you see in the pictures I posted on my car in between those two is a custom cnc'd 1/2" spacer and I also have the NWP Spacers but I dont use the one provided because of the custom one I have. Another thing I like about the Kinetix which is a bonus for those who run nitrous vs. using the stock manifold is that the kinetix is VERY easy to get off, and I have changing my plugs down to an art, if I have my next set of plugs gapped and ready to go in I can have the manifold off plugs changed and manifold back on in 15 mins or so peice of cake.. Now for your build I couldnt tell you how the Kinetix would help you? I really cant pinpoint that, I'm pretty sure with an upped rev-limiter and cams the Kinetix would make power up top but I havent tried it yet so I'm not 100% on it, but it is in my near future plans to test that theory..

Well, at least you're not down on the Kinetix - and since I use nitrous two bottles at a time, I appreciate your comments. I've got a SSIM on at the moment, and I understand the comments about changing plugs - but I did get something similar worked out for my SSIM. Disconnect the hose coupler from the TB, take out the three bolts and two nuts to the LIM, remove the one support bolt in the back of the elbow section, loosen the two throttle cables and lift the whole manifold up and off. Change out the plugs, reverse everything - 15 minutes or less.

My eyeball says that the Kinetix would have great airflow at WOT, and it seems to work well for you. Did you have any special reason to have the CNCed spacer made? Thanks again.

No problem at all, nope not down on the manifold at all. It has been good to me on the spray so I will continue to use it.. The kinetix flows very well and distributes the nitrous very well across all six cylinders. I had a friend of mine make the spacer for me, he made one for another org. member with a 3L and his tuned midrange hp/tq with the 1/2" spacer vs untuned with no spacer was VERY impressive so thats why I had my friend make me one for my 3.5.. I havent been back to the dyno yet but will be going very soon so I will keep you posted..

That is exactly how the MAF gets blown, but only if it's a hot wire MAF. If it's a cold wire MAF, then it wont.

So do we know for SURE that the 00/01 Maxima's MAFs are hot wire?

All I see is people claiming it will "blow the MAF" if you do it, but with the known issues and number of MAFs that get blown even without nitrous, are we absolutely sure it's the nitrous' fault?

Because it would be SUPER easy to install like a dry 50 shot of nitrous pre MAF.

It doesn't matter if its hot, cold or warm, always spray after the MAF and get a WET kit. Dry is asking for trouble, increasing the fuel pressure to high levels is asking for disaster. Sure lots of guys including me have run a dry kit successfully but wet is safer and why would you want to roll the dice when you don't have to?

Saying one is better and/or asking for trouble over the other just shows ignorance.

Properly setup, both can do what you want it to do.
Improperly setup, you're asking for trouble regardless of which setup you have.

With that being said; Are we sure the '00 - '01 Maxima MAFs are hot wire and not cold wire?

Saying that one is better is done from experience with both and knowledge of how they operate. True they both can operate properly setup but wet is still safer.

Ignorance is asking if the 00 -01 Maxima MAF is hot wire or cold wire when all you have to do is check the FSM which is readily available for all to view.
