I'm new to the nitrious thing, but I want to give it a try. I have an auto 6th gen and was wondering what is my best bet on a NOS setup?
Should I go with a wet or dry setup, do I need to do any mods to the vehicle cause I'm spraying? Is it worth it or am I gonna f*ck up my car and void it's warranty?

I primarely want to do a staged setup with a 35, 50, and 75 shot? Is it a good idea?

Also I'm looking for a low 12 second 1/4 mile on twinkes, what shot would put me there?
Sorry for all the questions, i'm hungry for speed

Well you will need slicks and a 75 to 100 shot. Go wet kit and try looking into NX kit. Also do some sort of a drop resistor or vb mod and run one step colder plugs.

 

You asked about voiding your warranty. I have asked nissan guys many times and all of them have said that your warranty will not be voided unless the mods you have done is the cause of the problem. For example on my 2002 my SES light came on, when I brought it in they told that it was free unless that I caused the light to come on, by like not connecting a switch or something.
However on the receit they put that the car has nitrous injection, so its on record. I guess in of a future problem. Keep that in mind.
Lows 12s huh. Its not hard but it will take some work. Your car is heavier than all other Maxima up to the 6th gen. So would think bone stock with a 75 shot you should run mid 13s. Mods like CAI, headers and a good exhaust you should be around 13. My setup on my 2002 6sp is intake, headers, a b-pipe and a 75 shot NX wet kit. Its not a low 12 second car but 2 nights ago I took a 2003 M3 coupe and was pulling slighty on a Z06. Not bad for a 4 door sedan.
If you get nitrous, driving your Maxima will be 10 times funner. Have fun!

holy quintuple post batman!

 

I'm assuming that you have a wet kit on your 2002. I wanted to do a dry kit but heard it's not worth the trouble. How hard is it to wire up a nos kit. I'm new to the the whole nitrious thing so any imput is valuable information.

I'm sorry. did you say you wanted to run a low 12 second 1/4 on twenty-inch rims?

Anyway, I feel that the NX wet kit would be your best bet to get started out. Call Southwest Autoworks and ask for Steve. Thats who I bought mine from and he was great to deal with.

 

Get some small wheels (like 16x8) and some slicks. Personally I would run an NX wet kit with at least a 100 shot for a low 12. I am not sure about 6th gen fuel pumps, but I know a 5th gen should upgrade for that shot so I would check into that. Probably want an intake and supporting gauges.
Also, tranny cooler with drop resistor would be recommended.

 

I dont know if I would do that to a brand new car but thats just me

 

Sorry to hi-jack but whats a drop resistor?
