watsup guys i'm kind of a no0b here:
i'm Ed from Boston, i have a Black 99 SE-L 5 speed that is paid for phew!. i hang out at the .org most of the time but this is like my 2nd. home. i love AF because there are no restrictions whatsoever. you can say whatever you want, talk about racing, swear, choose to have an avatar and not get charged for it and most important the server doesn't lock up on you and get no access.. so far anyway. i'm not bashing maxima.org because there is a great bunch of guys there too. only, that it has its issues like every other entity. i don't have that many mods on my car yet but i am working on them slowly, the thing is that i have had cars in the past and have sunk thousands in them in mods and stereo and that money will never reflect on the resale value of the car. besides, i bought the extended warranty for the car back in 99 for 7/70K and i still have 3/30k left on it and i don't want to void that. even though my maxima with the vq have been trouble free since the day i rolled it off the dealer lot (knock on wood). anyway, i have a front strut bar, addco rsb, injen intake, joshua tree CF dash kit, clear front bumper lenses, and red/clear tail lamps. some other interior mods like pedals, MOMO shifter, and a broadway mirror which is very useful. i am planning on getting H&R/GR2 combo for my drop and maybe some light tint.. as far as a Y pipe goes, i'm going to wait till the exhaust needs some work or my extended warranty expires. thanks for welcoming me and i hope to hang out here for a loooooooooooooong time

What's up, EP, you're right about the .org but it is a fun place to visit, I'm also on there but not as much as here. Those guys over there are very up on the Max and autos in general but this is a less restrictive area than there.
Nice mods on the car, I hope the other Noobs sign in here to. Those 99's as all Maximas are nice. Stay with us and we will be looking forward to more posts from you.

I am a noob because I only bought my max less than a month ago. I paid $2900 for my 95 Maxima SE with 135K miles on it. I was looking at Porsche 944s, but in the end decided to go with the more practicle and definately more reliable (even at 135k) option.
Because im a college student I am doing any service I can on the car my myself, which has turned out well so far. Only yesterday I replaced a fuel injector for $85 in parts and 20 minutes labor after the dealer quoted me $450 for the job. Im excited to feel the VQs 3.0 V6 rather the 2.5 V5 I was running on for quite a while. As far as mods, I dont have any right now. I put new Yokohama AVS db S2s on it last week, and am astonished by there performance and the virtually silent ride that they give. Haven't heard them squeel yet. I want to redo the suspension. KYB AGXs/ Progress Springs/ Cattman RSB/ Custom Maxima FSTB. Which would cost me around $700. Not a bad deal. As far as engine, I dont know what I could do with my high milage VQ. Dont want to hurt it.

yo big, i just got rid of my 95 se 5 speed and those cars are just fuckin awesome man. the potential is great. intake and y pipe is the way to go. and since you got the 95 (obd-1) jim wolfe will do performance tuning to your ecu so you've got an advantage over all other 4th generation maxima's, if you were to go that route.
just so you know, i got rid of my car at 166K and it was still running well. a friend of mine worked at the mobil:oil change express and he said he saw maxima's like yours coming in with mileage upwards of 265,000 miles and he said it was still peppy, and the engine didn't have any knocking or ticking noises. if it was taken care of before you and you keep it up that car should last you damn near forever. good luck with it Last edited by Paonessa; 07-22-2003 at 04:36 PM.

Also if you plan to do anything to your engine such as boosting, ie., turbo you might want to consider getting a compression test first because of the high mileage/wear & tear on the engine.
Good luck with the ride and welcome to the forum, we'll be checkin for you l8ta. peace

Thought I'd throw one up on here and make sure all is working...
anyone know what happened to maximaforum.com? Guess it's dead. And the forum on maxima.org... forgetaboutit. Even on T1 here at work, that site DRAGGGGGGS. My main mods are listed in my signature... nothing too crazy to talk about. Check out my web page for some pics and details on my ride. Anyone else from Chicago? Can't seem to find any Maxima people online from around here.

Anyway you're right about the .org I just came from there and the server is just too slow. There are some Maxima folks in Chi but a lot of them either don't have computer, know about the websites if they do have one or just don't like or have time to be on the computer. Anyway, good to have you, Jay, Kornboy and EP here.

Looks like I finally found a good forum... the others I've been on either have no participation, or I get no replies. Hopefully this one keeps up.
I put up 3 new pics of my car after lunch today, check em out on my page... anyone on AOL/AIM hit me up (some of my screen names) euro1990 the88escalade ABPdesk ABPtheatre junkyard721

Newbie
Guess I'm a newbie as well. I've got a 2k4 Max SE, leather, real sunroof, Bose audio, 6 Speed manual. I'm loving it right now, I dont know about you guys but this car is stupid fast for a sedan.. I cant get enough. Only problem I really have is the tourqe steer, but you can get used to that.
Oh and she's a lease so dont ask about mods...  The only thing I might do is add a real sub to the system, the audio is clean and has great mid bass, but there are some notes you just cant hit without a 12" sub  James 23 Network Engineer

Just kidding, but really, we love to discuss the monster-sedan we call the Maxima.
