Hey, just an update from May when I bought my 01 Max.
I completed the list that I posted above here somewhere. Then of course I wanted more. I now have: - CosmoRacing SRI/WAI- Warpspeed Y-pipe- Aluminum - Carbon Fibre FSTB- ebay Groundwire Kit (I Know....)- Custom Maxima Clear Front Sidemarkers- Eurodezigns - Superwhite 8500K Heads & Fogs- AutoLumination Superwhite turn signals & front sidemarkers- Silver/Red rear turn signals- Red internal underglow (under dash & seats)- NISMO Aluminum Oil Cap, Radiator Cap & Carbon-Fibre (Plastic) Licence Plate Frame- Carbon Fibre (Plastic) Battery Cover
On The Way (Shipping):- MagnaFlow Dual Tip Muffler W/ Tips (2.5")- MagnaFlow/MagnaFlux 26" Resnator (2.5")- MagnaFlow High Flow Cat. (2.5")
Here are some pics of the newest install - Internal Underglow.I've done all of the mods myself, and this one was probably one of the least time-consuming, since I didn't have to deal with rusted bolts that want to shear off & strip-out due to the salty/wet East Coast weather here.
I have 4 - 9" red strip-lights wired into a 3-prong switch that has Ground/Source/Accesory with LED to tell you if it's on during the day.
I wired the 4 lights into one, then into accesory & ground on the switch.Tapped a 12V (14.7V) source from the fuse-box under the steering column that only gets power while the key is turned to ACC/ON (Use a Multimeter) so that the lights will turn off with the ignition.I used an old grouding strap from my catalytic converter to ground on a screw that holds a bracket to the frame under the dash.
I ran all of the wiring under the dash/under the seats/under the center console to hide it all. There are 2 tabs for extra buttons on the driver-side of the dash/steering column, you can install the button there.
I don't have a camera, Just my cell phone, so I took some pics tonight. Please ignore the crappy quality & colors. The lights actually look way better than they do in the pics.I don't have any updated pics of the Max itself......Enjoy
Here is the Driver side underglow. You can see the switch (Green LED) & the Dashboard lights above.
Here are the back lights under both front seats, illuminating the floors in the back.
Here is the front passenger side. Again the lights look pretty crappy in the pics.
Here are some pics on the lights in the front. I also have Xenon Red side markers & corner lights that I have been running for a few weeks, but I think the super-white bulbs look awesome.
Also, there is a picture here that shows the difference between the factory lights & the super-whites. My phone takes crappy pics, so the lights don't show up very good in the pictures, but the last picture here definately shows the difference.
I'll update later if I get soem good pics/clips of my exhaust once it ships in & gets fabbed up. I was seriously contemplating the Frankencar dual-tip 5th generation exhaust, but in the end I decided to go MagnaFlow Custom.
