My Old 96 Maxima GXE
Traded it in to get my wifes Dodge Magnum... sad to see it go, even my youngest cried to see it go
This is all old info of the car that i had on this site
_______________________________________
Before I Started and right after winter..needed a bath but this is what it was before i started playing with it
yes I need rims. the Diamond Cut Bumper lights (from Custommaxima.com) make the car look so much better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the list of things i have done so far.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before i got into the Maxima all i did was install a Pioneer Deck in place of the stock Nissan non-Bose system with a Pioneer DEH-4100, Vent Visors and a DEI sidwinder 6500 Valet system (remote start, keyless entry, and alarm)
Then i got into the feeling of MAXIMA afer a while of driving it. I even got my friend (who also works with me) to buy a Maxima (99GLE) and I did the following just this year
-Brembo rotors (from www.nissanpartstore.com)
-Nissan pads and hardware (from www.courtesyparts.com)
-All 3 O2 sensors replaced (From nissanpartstore.com)
-Knock Sensor replaced (From nissanpartstore.com)
-NGK Plat Spark Plugs (from courtesyparts.com)
-Fuel Filter replaced (Autozone)
-pcv valve replaced (Autozone)
-Diamond Cut Bumper lenses (from CustomMaxima.com)
-Reverse Indiglow Guadges (From CustomMaxima.com)
-Progress Rear Sway Bar (Vortex Performance)...(actually came from Custom Maxima)
-Strut bar (from e-bay)
-Home made Air Intake (Home Depot)K&N Cone Filter (Autozone)
-Cleaned throttle body
-Full tranny flush and oil flush
-Changed the color of my clock Blue and disabled the dimming of the clock
-Budget Y-Pipe (From www.budgetexhaust.com)
When the cash starts flowing again the next thing will be Rims, shocks and struts, Rear red/clears, and a new front bumper (paint is chiping very badly and there is no foglight holes)

My dash with the reverse Indiglos
My Reverse Indiglo Guages from Custom Maxima. the only problem i have is the Temp Gauge is not as bright as the rest of the guages
High Miles But still runs Great!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just changed the color of my clock and here are the results
this is the full dash all lit up at night!
It looks white but it is actually a blue color dont with a small piece of dark purple cellophane
remove the clock from the dash
remove the clock and then remove the clock cover tape the cellophane to the LCD panel and then re assemble
you can get different colors you want by using different color cellophane
Thanks Mad Dhan for the How 2

Pictures of the New Budget SS Y-Pipe
ITS NOT BLACK!!!!!!!
Here is a pic of the welds
Its on and it is great.. had to have a garage install it because the bolts were so badly rusted i couldnt get it off
cost me $60 to have them install it
But worth it!
I will have pictures of it on the car soon along with pics of the old pipe
pics of the Mods i have done to the engine and suspension for performance reasons
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of course you have seen the Y-Pipe i added to the car on the previous Page here is the rest that i have pictures of

My Home Made Air Intake.... Notice the copper?... had to make a pipe last minute becuase the hose i bought was the wrong size.... it will have to do till i get silicone hoses
