What motivated you to MOD your Maxima?
I’ve always loved the Nissan Maxima…specifically the 4th gen. When the 4th gen was first released in 1995, I liked it from then. When the first Fast and Furious movie came out, I was hooked on it. I bought mine from an older gentlemen, and joined Maxima.org, Torontomaxima.com, an NYCMaximas.org shortly after. After seeing all the builds, it wasn’t long before I started changing things, although they were mostly cosmetic for the longest time.
After owning it for almost 9 years, I decided that she needed to be faster, so I made it happen. – Nick Gopaul

What motivated you to MOD your Maxima?
A close friend of mine modded a couple of Maxima’s while I was growing up as a kid. I always said that my next car would for sure be a 3.5 Maxima. I ended up getting a 3.0 Maxima 5-Speed. As the years went by, I learned how to work on it myself and also began experimenting. It ended up going a little more than I expected lol. I have put a lot into this car.
It’s still going more than I expected. I have a full Vortech Supercharger kit waiting to be installed in the spring time! – David Colaire
