1996 stillen tuned maxima

[iwannagofast]

Ok, im new on this forum, so this is just to start out.

I got a 1996 stillen tuned maxima.its got the following upgrades:stillen strut tower barstillen cold aircat back exhaustractive racing can2" ichiban lowering kitstage 2 racing clutch new transmissionshort throw shift kitcross drilled rotorstitanium brakesand subs.

So wut do i need to do to this thing to make it faster?

Well spell "what" correctly is a start.

Seriously though, was your specifically tuned BY stillen?? Or did you just label it that??

Either way from the looks of your mod list so far...the next step would probably be turbo/sc. Although I'd advise getting rid of the can and getting a nicer exhaust too.

Maybe some more suspension work like a RSB, FSB, and I assume you already have the FSTB, so a rear one too (I'm pretty sure they make them for the 4th gens...I'd think so anyway).

[iwannagofast]

Ok, it is actually stillen tuned and i do have the fstb. but not the back, so ill look into that. and as for the turbo, is it safe putting one on at 110,000 miles? i have a 92 maxima just to throw that out there also

[PBfrEAk]

Didn't know they did that...did you send it away or buy it from them??

As far as it being safe with 110K GOD yes. I know of one person in particular who turbo'd his 4th gen with 200k atleast. You'll be fine.

Is your 92 a VG or VE??

Which is your daily driver?

[lightsout]

did Stillen put on all your performance upgrades too?

I labeled my Maxima a "00 Nismo Maxima SE", but Nismo didn't make one...so i made it for them, check out my profile for the pic i've got!

[iwannagofast]

my cousin that i bought this car from did have it sent away for a while, yes. and turbo, thats sweet. I might think about doing that when i get some side money. As far as the 92 max goes, its a vg model and its not my daily car. its more of an emergency car with 155k on it.

[allensteiner]

get headers and a y-pipe - those'll give you a few more ponies. jwt tuned ecu would be next on the list + their cams or vq35 cams instead. right now your mods don't make you faster than a stock max...but i bet it looks nice

[PBfrEAk]

its more of an emergency car with 155k on it.

Wow you have a lot to learn about Maxima's.

155K is not scary AT ALL. I bought my Maxima with 164K and it now has 201,139 miles and its my DAILY DRIVER!!!

If these cars are properly taken care of (ie oil changes ever 3K) both your cars will last you a LONG time!!!

Hows the body on your 3rd gen??

I can't believe its gone on this long with out saying but

GET SOME NOW!!!

[Presscott707]

yeah im with pbfreak on this, maxima just keep on going and they can take alot. my 99 in coming close to your 92 with almost 140K and i drive the hell out of my car. show so pics bro, of both your maxs.

[lightsout]

i'm rock'n 156,000 miles and she still ROCKS!! I'm a religious motor and transmission oil changer, and ONLY use sythetic oil with Lucas Stabilizer and TG Fram, OEM, or Mobil filters in the Engine and Royal Purple in the transmission

[iwannagofast]

alright. ill post some pics of it sometime this week. my computers been broken

[Chris93se]

I JUST rolled 170k This weekend ha I got pics too heheh

First... lol Take out the subs (adds weight = slower)

I dont know about 4th gens and all, these are just basic upgrades.

Y-pipe

Exhaust ie: full exhaust

Variable Intake (which ever one you perfer, I forgot which one was proven to make more of a power diff: 00VI, MEVI)

Cams and stuff

Turbo's and SCers are deff power makers... just not as kool as n/a!

This should be a good start for you good luck

Pics now

ouch...big mistake with anything labeled fram for any car

[PBfrEAk]

Y-pipe

Actually (correct me if I'm wrong) but the 4th gens don't benefit NEARLY as much as the 3rd gens do with a y-pipe mod.

ouch...big mistake with anything labeled fram for any car

AGREED

I use Purolator Pure ONE. Fram and Pennzoil are the same damn filter.

[jltibbs]

I use pure one myself on both my cars. As did I on the Maxima. I personally would not put Fram on a bicycle.

[iwannagofast]

alright. cool and thanks. Do you know about how much it would cost to get a y pipe put on and a cam job done? and i should have pics up by tonight depending on how tonights outlook is.

[PBfrEAk]

Do you know about how much it would cost to get a y pipe put on and a cam job done?

For the Y-pipe I'd look at Warpspeed or Cattman.

Cams...possibly JimWolfTechnology...idk who else though...

Make sure you post a pic or two of your 3rd gen too!!!

[allensteiner]

y-pipe is a bolt on diy not sure on prices though - ebay has knockoffs for under $300 shipped (headers + y)jwt cams...better get a secon job to afford those - over a grand iirc for 4 plus labor if you don't want to put them in yourself = $$$$ - swap vq35 cams in, will be cheaper with similar effects.

[kzoosho]

Turbo is the greatest thing that ever happened to cars lol. I have 224k and boosting the hell out of mine.

[iwannagofast]

for anyone that has told me to put pics of my car up, im sorry. its along story. i had to get vista over xp and now i cant get my memorycard reader to read nor my phone cord.. neone got advice?

[lightsout]

use a buddies computer to put the photo's on, then burn them on a CD, and upload them onto your computer.

ok ok ok...i get it FRAM sucks.....NEVER EVER WILL I USE A FRAM AGAIN, i usually buy a MOBIL1 filter anyways. my engine is always like after an oil change withe MOBIL1

[iwannagofast]

Ill try to arrange for that and hopefully have some up by this friday.
