Hello Maxima.Org members.
I just purchased my 2014 Maxima Sport in Brilliant Silver Metallic. It now has ~7,800 miles. Uploaded the pic to my profile.
I joined this forum back in 10/2013 when my dad purchased his loaded 2012 Maxima.
Glad to be part of what appears to be a very active group.
I previously owned a 2006 Mazda 6 which was moderately modded (intake, exhaust, suspension, appearance, e.t.c) Loved it, but needed a bigger, newer car.
It's only been a couple days and I love the car.
My wife made me promise not to mod this car. I've already talked her into a CAI and cat back!!!
First question I had was is there a DIY on how to wire the fogs to come on with the parking lights and stay on with the highs? There was one for the Mazda which allowed the previous to be accomplished by cutting the power to the fog relay and running a jumper wire to the parking relay.
Thanks for the welcome and can't wait to learn about the Maxima and get to know you all.
Peace!

Welcome 2SoonJr, I am also a GA resident Athens..GO-DAWGS! (I felt it was my duty to say that)....
Doing this for an extremely long time, IMO I think a lot of money will be wasted on add-on's like CIA and an Exhaust for a N/A engine with no over boring and real internal work.
More often than not, people pay $350+ for a CAI that gives them around ~1-2hp gain and an exhaust system that may give them ~ 3-5hp which is crazy expensive for the "gains"...
These are not the cars of the past where we purchased these parts knowing that we will turbo the car eventually, the game has changed and it's tricky and way more expensive then it was for the older generations and now to squeeze power out the newer gens.. Granted, its expensive to turbo any non-turbo car but the bang for the buck is there as it can be anywhere from 50 - 100hp+ gain depending on specs of course. I remember good-ole Sr20's that were pushing 350hp+ easy without internals or worrying about the transmission. I stated more than I had to but I wanted to get that point across.. GL, and looking forward to your contributions here.
Your main question, Do an advance search about the Fogs or contact GHOSTZ(sp).. he is the lighting guru on this forum.
