How Many Max Owners Here Are From Illinois?

I am just curious that how many Max owners here are from Illinois??:thinkerg:

South Side of Chicago in the house!!! :sun:

You know I'm from the western suburbs - We've talked before.

Max lover from Wheeling ( North Suburb ):jump:

West , west . Right now in Dekalb, NIU.

I'm in the northern suburbs, but am all over skokie, lincolnwood/ northern chicago area. I'm the one usually pissing people off on the streets....:D hope to see you around!

O'hare area

So far we only got 6 Max owner here in the State of Illinois.:flash:

.. we could arrange a meeting next summer if we'll get more people from IL , Chicago , surrounding areas. Let's hope we can get more people in here.

Cycko, that's a good idea. It's good for all Max owners to get together
and have a drive around town.:wave:

That sounds good guys. Doesn't seem like there are too many maxima drivers from the midwest. I only know of a few.

AP20thMax That sounds good guys. Doesn't seem like there are too many maxima drivers from the midwest. I only know of a few.

You are right there are alot of Max driver around Illinois but there are
only a few Max owners in this forum.:flash:

Count me in!

Naperville, IL
1999 SE-L. I got 2 of them!! Both white, one stick (mine) and one auto (for my beloved wife)

:-)

Whats up dashingMax. I'm a Napervillian too. From the North Side. Do you cruise through the downtown area with your Max?

I am from the poor south side. 95th & Naperville/Plainfield Road.

I take Metra to work everyday from the Naperville station and I go through downtown Naperville everyday. I haven't yet gone down there just for crusing.

If you're going to be down there for something, I can join you. Maybe we can show-off the power of a family sedan to those Civic punks!! :-)

Cool, I used to have a friend over there, between 87th and 95th st on Naper Plainfield. I live way on the other side, by Ogden and Washington, Pretty close to the train station actually. I don't take the train though, I drive to work. My dad takes the train everyday. By the way, did you get your Maxs from Gerald Nissan?

Welcome another fellow Max owner from Illinois. Alot of those punks out there driving their civic, cavalier and integra want to outrun our Max.
They think they got the fastest car on earth.:wave:

I live in Dekalb for now, but I go to visit my sister in Woodridge once in a while , so if there is somethink going on in Naperville, let me know plz, hehe.

Yesterday I saw the baddest license plates in america :

It was a BMW M3 , modified from top to bottom, the plates where

HNDA KILER

LOL , I was laughing at this for at least 10 minutes :)

You are right!

Those Civic and Prelude punks wanted to race me a couple weekends ago. I was riding my 2000 Suzuki SV650 motorcycle and I completely smoked him. He was driving with his girlfriend and must've been pretty embarrased in front of her...

I still cannot fathom the fact that he wanted to race a sport bike!!

Oh well... They are dying to race anybody... :D

I went there 2 days ago to get my O2 sensor replaced , oil changed and filter. I dunno if their prices are good, so I was wondering if 220$ for the o2 sensor replacement is alot of money or what ??? My check engine light is off now, and my RPM is not jumpy as before so I'm happy. I'm just wondering how much $$$$ did I overpaid.

My personal experience with Gerald Nissan's service is negative :-(

My mom drives a Subaru Outback and I own 2 Maxima SE's. I always go to Gerald Nissan & Subaru in North Aurora. A little more driving distance but the service and quality of work is EXCELLENT!!

They too are Gerald, but since they are brand new, they WANT YOUR BUSINESS...unlike Naperville Gerald who does not give a damn...

Is it visible from I-88 ??? Thats where I went. They did a good job, I'm just wondering about the price :) Someone told me the o2 sensor is like 70 $ brand new, so 240 $ is kinda expensive :(

Yes, it is visible from I-88. There are a bunch of dealerships right next to each other.

In fact you have to pass a Dodge dealer to get to Nissan & Subaru...

Whats up guys. I bought my car from Gerald Nissan, the Naperville one on Ogden. I thought they gave me a good deal on the car. My parents were so happy with my car that they went and bought their own. They actually paid under invoice for my their Max. I'm really getting ticked off by Gerald now. They tell me they will void my warranty if I put on a new muffler. The service dept is really getting on my nerves. I might just have to take a little ride west on 88 to the Aurora Gerald.

As for those rice burners. Some of them are fast but to take on a bike, forget it. I don't care how fast your car is, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BEAT A CROTCH ROCKET. I hang out with a lot of the biker guys from downtown Naper, and they all got like Ducatis, GXRs, and Superhawks 996. They tell me they will destroy any car that wants to race. They say most cars don't even want to race, they recognize.


:jump:

Most of the dealer charge you a fortune for what ever they done on your car. If anything going on to my car I just take it to my buddy so he can take a look at it because he's a mechanic but he's only free on the weekend.:o :D

Northwest subs here, just started the modification process a couple months back.

AFTER TWO MONTHS:
Clear corners
Real aluminum dash
97-99 Altezza Taillights
Superwhite headlights
Neo blue underbody Streetglow kit

IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING:
I've bid on a Vortech VQ2 supercharger at around $2000, but if that falls through, then the money's going to a Stillen Aero Kit and a new head unit.

Let me know if we decide to round up the Illinois maxima owners and have a meet.

So far we got around 8 Max owners here in the surrounding chicago area. Anyone with any ideas when we will meet but I think next spring will be a good time because winter coming up soon.:cool: :rolleyes:

Hey MaximaIL.

Are there more than one supercharger available for that price? If so, mind sharing the information with us.

Also, if it falls through for you, definitely let us know... Wud Ya, please...

-dashingMax

If you count me, I've got 2 Maxima owners...
I have 2 friends, both have Maxima's but are not members here...

So if 8 included me then make that 11, else make that 12 maxima's

Go MAX!!

If you count me, I've got 2 Maxima owners...

By the time next I hope we will get more than 20 Max owners around here in Illinois. :alien:

I know some Maxima guys that would be interested too. I think we could get a good turnout.

By the way, I got my exhaust done today. I put a Magnaflow exhaust on the Max and it is loud. I had no idea it would be this loud. I like it.:)

How much did you paid? You are saying exhaust, Is it rear section near the tail pipe? I don't know much about exhaust.:frog:

I had the rear section done. The 20th Max has an I30 muffler which is really kind of ugly. The pipes are downward facing and there isn't any tips. I put a magnaflow muffler on it to give it a better look and sound. Its nice and shiny too. It didn't cost that much either. The guy hooked it up for me, everything was under $300.

I noticed that the 20th AE MAX with the tail pipe facing downward. At first when I saw AE Max I though someone bought a gxe and put in the ground effect. But when I went to the dealer I noticed that all AE Max are the same with ugly tail pipe. Good that you replaced with a new one.
:bonghitte

The funny thing is that I didn't even notice the ugly muffler until I brought the car home for the first time. I thought the muffler should at least have the chrome exhaust finisher that the normal SEs have. The old brochure even said that the 20 Edition should have chrome tips. I guess they changed it though. I'm not sure why they would leave the muffler like that. Maybe is is because of the aero kit. There isn't a big opening under the bumper for pipes to stick out.:silly2:

When you paid that much of money for a car, they should at least give you a decent muffler.:flamer:

the ugly muffler is designed to be a replica of how the Skyline GT-R R33 works. the muffle has a valve that opens up after a certain rpm. The muffler might be ugly, but it's just as good if not better than after market mufflers. It's almost like nissan's version of V-TEC. difference the location of the valve.:eshooter:

Maxima meet at the top of the parking garage at Gameworks at "Street of Woodfield" in Schamburg at 5:00pm on 10/6

We will go to Dave and Buster's in Addison

Call Adrian with ?'s

(847)757-4531

Count me in! I will work on my stick Maxima but will bring the automatic!

Cheers!

I wish I could come but I have to work this weekend. If you guys setup an other meeting one of these days, I'll tr my best to B there.

Damn,
My girlfriend is dragging me down to SIU this weekend. Keep us in touch about future ones!

Hey 20th maxstyle,
I thought that the muffler has designed to give you a quiet ride at low rpms but when you hit it, the valve opens and then you get more air flow. If an after market muffler maximizes air flow at all rpms, it would seem like I don't lose much. Do you think I actually slowed my car down by putting on an aftermarket muffler and replacing some of the pipes?

If there was a gain, it was probably only around 2-3 hp, but at least our rides look PHAT.

Thats what I'm talkin about.

So whats this Max meet up at Gameworks all about?

You know what, us IL Max drivers communicate so much, I think we need our own forum - www.ILMaximaDriver.com - Thats got a good ring to it.

That's a good idea but we need someone good in computer to start a web site.:dogpile:

We could use the Maxima.org Midwest Chapter for starters...

I just wanted to re-confirm the Maxima Meet on Saturday, October 6th @ 5:00PM.

Location: Streets of Woodfield Mall's Parking Garage (TOP FLOOR).

I will be there and hope that I am not the ONLY one over there :)

Cheers!

Hey there fellow Max owners. I mainly reside on Maxima.org, but recently I came over here to see what was going on and I see a few people that I have not met yet. I have met Alex, but I don't know if he remembers me and Prinz and I know each other. So what's going on over here?? I won't be able to be at the meet this weekend, but I just wanted to stop by and say hello. Also testing my sig with this message, so enjoy!! :D

I am not able to come on saturday because my mom is celebrate her 73 birthday.:hehe:

So how was the meeting in Naperville ? How many people showed up ???
If it didn't work out, maybe we could try this saturday, I'll be passing by Naperville. Anyways, later :evillaugh

Naperville?!!?!!?!!

It was in Schaumburg...well It started in Schaumburg (Streets of Woodfield and ended at Dave & Busters in Addison

Was there a Naperville one that I did not know about?

I wasn't able to come to Schaumburg but anyone know how many Max
show up at the meeting?:eek2:

It wasn't Naperville , it was Schaumburg. I didn't go, I had to work + I live in Dekalb. Next week I'm going to a 4x4 Rally with my buddy from Chicago. We're going to drive a 99 Range Rover. His girlfriend was a professional rally driver in Europe. Sound's like it's gonna be alot of fun.

WHO WENT TO THE MEETING IN SCHAUMBURG ???

:toothless

Ya, how'd it go.

Let me know about any events in Naper-Thrill!

sup chi-maxes

The Meet on the 6th had about 7 maximas, one sentra, and a phat prelude. I would have liked to see more. some one should set up another meet for next month.

I heard from another source that there were 6 Maximas at the get together. Alex, aka 20th maxstyle, was there and 5 other guys from Maxima.org.

If any of you are interested in getting in on a Maxima club, please email me and let me know. We have been discussing this on Maxima.org and I'm sending out emails tonight that will talk about the club. Thanks guys!!

I hope there will be an other meeting before the snow falls on our heads cause i'll have to change my magz to the stock magz, so THIS IS NOT GOOD. If you guys wanna meet, try to arrange something in the weekend of 13-14th October or 20-21st of October. Thats the days where I'll have a day off from work and could go somewhere to have some fun. Well, if anyone has any better ideas plz post. BTW, whats that club all about ? e-mail me plz. Adios:bandit:

Both those weekends work for me!!

Well, even if there is nobody else comming I could probably meet you in Naperville next weekend for a couple of hours , talk about the mods to come , improvments and so on......... Today I started this creazy project of mine :devil: (I REALLY LOVE MY CAR) ... I'm putting 1000W loud speakers in the back and a Infinity Perfect 12.1 Sub. I took out all the seats in the car and I saw that my carpet in the car was dirty. So with my CYKO brain, I took all the carpeting out from my car directly to my shower , heheh lol. It wasn't easy and it's gonna take me some time before I'll put everything back where it was. Well, what can I say, we just love those damn cars. Right now I'm cruising with 1 seat in the car, the rest in metal :smoker2: I vaccumed every little corner , but my speakers and amp and sub are still in the garage. Wish me luck, I'll need it to put all the screws at the right place. :eek: :bloated: :eek:
