$500 6 SPEED MAXIMA - EVERY MOD DONE SO FAR + CAR FINALLY HEADS TO NISFORMANCE!

[@Danteferno286]

Just got a 2000 nissan maxima 3.0 i love it

[@alkalineph9446]

I love my 5th gen but man the rockers 😢😢😢. Northeast life killed her! I have to change my transmission solenoid B. I don’t want to get rid of it. It is fully loaded simple and still fun to drive (for me anyways)

[@koji_sti_medo1643]

Much respect man, im digging the content. I just bought my maxima and I'm definitely going to turn into a clean sleeper hehe.. anyways, great stuff!! 👍

[@ImChrisDuke]

thank you, and keep us up on the ride

[@bstfordchannel923]

ah man I miss this video had to get caught up.. i really like you build .. I always like how you got down with your cars over the years

[@ImChrisDuke]

it's gonna be a little different when I get it back... you'll like the new build

[@bstfordchannel923]

@@ImChrisDuke you get really proper on your builds i always like that. you create real tuner cars

[@TheMaafiaGarage]

I definitely love the 00-01 tails. Makes it look wayyy better before they switched to the altezza style crap. And man that's a big difference on the header quality from obx compared to nisformance...thing is already a beast that is going to be transformed into a monster!

[@ImChrisDuke]

it's gonna be an interesting update video... car is coming with some new unseen stuff

[@TheMaafiaGarage]

@@ImChrisDuke I'll be posted up for that to come up! Love what is being done to the max!

Hi Chris, I’m in Florida and looking to get some work done on my maxima @ Nisformance…What car shipper/transport company did you use? Let me know if you remember It would be greatly appreciated

[@Rockony]

Nice

[@nismomike2359]

How does the max ride with the polyurethane control arm bushings. Mines are due for replacement soon on myv03. I'm torn between factory replacements or upgrading.

[@ImChrisDuke]

stiff but I love it... not mushy like stock

@@ImChrisDuke thanks

[@dominic9440]

Amazing content, great to see the aftermarket community/mods grow for the vq fwd platform. Btw on the original 6 speed swap from nisformance how much did it cost?

[@ImChrisDuke]

glad you enjoy the content! the initial swap was 5 years ago so I don't recall!

[@whiteshadow8908]

hey man are you in NC I just bought an 01 with lower miles and I'm in salisbury NC.

[@ImChrisDuke]

No, we're in Central FL... Nisformance is in NC though...

[@dankdank7174]

Where is Nisperformance? I'm willing to drive there from Miami Fl. To get the max right

[@ImChrisDuke]

Nisformance is in Mebane NC

[@javiyote1848]

Bro this thing is fucking clean!

[@SuperCam98]

Man where did you get the clear marker lights??? I can’t find them. I’m a painter so I’m going to smoke them and LED them but I cannot find the clear rear markers

[@ImChrisDuke]

ebay I think

[@jamesjones2336]

How much was the hr swap if you don’t mind me asking? I just recently bought an 01 maxima 20th anniversary edition and im looking to build it up or hr swap!

[@ImChrisDuke]

initial swap was done late 2015.... plus it included other upgrades at the same time. To say how much in 2022 is really irrelevant as prices have changed for so many things and plus my initial swap was more than just a swap

[@retroboomin2191]

Got a ‘01 maxima as well just a beige color wanna do so many things to do it to make it really stand out and pop. Any advice for a beginner

[@ImChrisDuke]

what's up, I would suggest joining the my4dsc group on facebook... lots of ideas and discussion there

[@adrianmartin3401]

would you recommend this as a first manual car?

[@ImChrisDuke]

sure, it's very easy to drive

[@weldermandan]

What's your opinion on the 01 maxima with the 5 speed VQ30DE? I'm asking because that's what I have and I love it but I've never driven the 6 speed.

[@ImChrisDuke]

I've owned a few 5.5 gens but never a 5 gen... I only hear that the 3.0 engone is bulletproof

[@weldermandan]

@@ImChrisDuke Yeah I've put some abuse into her and she still only leaks oil which is a problem I keep having to come back to. Happen to know a better fix for the rear main seal?

[@ImChrisDuke]

@@weldermandan can't say I do but you can check out the my5thgen group on Facebook maybe someone does

[@dankdank7174]

Basically the same engine just a bit less air can be compressed

[@weldermandan]

@@dankdank7174 Yeah I've had people tell me you can get a higher top speed out of the 6 speed but I've looked at the official Nissan test sheets and they're exactly the same which btw if you remove the speed governor it can reach 160-165. The most common comments about the 5 speed I hear is that the shifting is smoother than the 6.

[@4rvnky]

damn where’d you get the rims ???

[@ImChrisDuke]

refurbished 350Z wheels from Wheels America

[@antonioevans5154]

@@ImChrisDuke are you running the 18x8 or the 18x8.5 on the wheels ?

[@CORZER0]

How much weight do you think you shed switching to those seats? Looking good, by the way. Congrats on the Nisformance work. I'll get there someday.

[@ImChrisDuke]

man that's a good question... they are very light but I don't know the weight... we should have weighed them

[@CORZER0]

@@ImChrisDuke Reason I ask is that I'm trying to do some math. I'm beginning my stereo build. My sub, sub amp, enclosure, front stage and rear amps, cable, 120ah LTO battery and misc stuff will be around 400lbs. I'm deleting the front battery, won't carry a spare tire, and am omitting the rear seatback and bottom. So I'm netting around roughly +250lbs. I'm trying to keep weight down as much as possible. The car is 3000lbs right now. Stock seats are heavy. I was looking at seats like yours and think I could lose another 75-100lb's if I found the right pair. My car is pretty quick with my 2015 motor and I'd like to keep close to the same performance despite the addition of the stereo. I'm off today so I'll get the car washed and post a quick walk-around like I promised a while ago. I'll keep in touch.

[@ImChrisDuke]

@@CORZER0 does somewhere in the groups or maxima.org list the stock seat weight?

[@CORZER0]
