Extras :
I have a huge collection of extra parts that will be going with the car as well. This includes tons of black interior pieces, new leather door inserts, a spare ACT stage 2 clutch, a second LC-1, a couple of '06 intake manifolds, the D2 Springs (9k / 7k rates), extra set of tinted tail lights, plus too much more to remember right now.
Pictures :
I don't have any really recent pictures, so these will have to do for now:
There are also some more pictures here: http://s167.photobucket.com/user/MadMAXSE/library/
The GOOD:
The car runs extremely strong and drives fantastic! I use it as a daily driver, and the airbags make it utterly amazing by being able to basically adjust the spring rate on the fly. Plus, when you add power that can out pull slightly modded Terminators on the highway, this is basically the ultimate package. I don't know how much power it's putting down, but my '95 made over 350whp/330wtq and this car is actually much stronger. However, don't be fooled, this isn't just an overpowered boulevard cruiser or highway bruiser though. With the huge grip from the HLSD, sticky tires and the rest of the suspension components added to the equation, it can handle even the twistiest mountain roads with the best out there. Add in the sports seats, working AC, cruise control, and a completely free trunk, no matter where you want to go, you'll get there comfortably, quickly and with style
The BAD:
The car does have a CEL for the Park Neutral Safety Switch. I believe there is a pretty easy fix for it, but I haven't had any issues, so I haven't bothered with fixing it. The rear leather seat is splitting at the seams at the top of the seat-back. It was from a junk-yard car so it's probably just a result of exposure and can probably be fixed pretty easily. The Touchpad controller for the Accuair air ride is also a little problematic. It still works perfectly fine, but due to my accidentally leaving it in direct sunlight, one of the preset ride height setting buttons is "stuck" in the depressed position, so the other two preset buttons won't work. I haven't bothered replacing it because all the other control buttons work fine and I have been waiting for the Android version of their Bluetooth controller to come out. FYI - If you have an iPhone - the Bluetooth kit is already available for ~$300. The only other issues with the car are that the passenger side axle will likely need to be replaced soon, and there is a small oil leak. It has been leaking a little bit of oil from where one of the bolts on the supercharger plate (at the top left of the thermostat opening) wouldn't line up quite correctly. I had used some sealant to block off the hole, but I guess it decided not to do its job anymore. I honestly just haven't had an opportunity to remove the supercharger completely to fix it. I'm more than likely just going to remove the post from the bracket, but if someone is really eager to buy the car - I just want it to be public knowledge.
The UGLY :
The exterior of the car isn't flawless since it was my daily driver. I would give it a 8.0/10 since it has small door dings/dents and some scratches here and there. There is also a small scratch from being keyed (haters gonna hate...
) on the passenger side, but you can only really notice it up close though. The only other eyesore is the SC bracket. I thought it was nickel-coated, but apparently I was mistaken, so there is some surface rust that needs to be cleaned up (which will be taken care of if/when I pull it out to fix the leak).

Add to the ugly that I installed the coilpacks upside down once. 
But GLWS i helped with the b1tch of putting the 6spd in, this car is damn clean. It was pretty quick with just a untuned NA 3.5, now it must be just insane.

Thanks guys - No videos of this car, but if you look in my signature, I have a couple videos with almost the exact same setup in my '95. This car is faster and sounds and looks better.

Sorry for the late reply VAmaxima, I never saw that there were any new posts.
The chassis has 146k.
Sadly, I still don't have any dyno numbers - I just haven't had the time. I will say this, the other night I had a couple 3:00 am fun runs with my buddy's '04 Cobra. His Terminator has a K/N intake, a Bassani cat-back, and a SCT tuner. He drags the car every few months at the Rock and typically runs 12.0-12.5@112-118mph with his best being a 11.8@120 on DR's a few weeks ago. I never "race" on the road, but we just couldn't resist taking advantage of a new strip of highway with no exits (or road for that matter) behind the on-ramp with no exits for ~3/4mi in front. We did a couple quick 3rd gear roll-on's from ~60 and I was able to pull up to a good 1-1.5 cars ahead by the top of fourth each time (I will say he was starting to reel me back in at the end though). He's a pretty big guy, so I did have a pretty substantial weight advantage since with me in the car, the max weighs about 3,200lbs vs ~4,000lbs of him and the 'Stang, but that should help give an idea of the power the car is making.
FYI - the car is still for sale. I'm now asking $7,000 as the car sits, or $5,000 with the supercharger and air ride removed, but I am open to any reasonable offers. Shoot me a PM and we can work it out.

UPDATE: PRICE DROP to $7,000 as it sits or $5,000 without the supercharger and air ride. Feel free to treat it like an à la carte menu and keep either of them on the car for and extra $1,000 (ex: remove air ride, but keep the supercharger on for $6,000).
Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

For those that are interested and asked for recent pictures, I took some new pictures this evening right as it was getting dark out. The thumbnails below are links to the full size pictures.
Here's the link to the album: http://s167.photobucket.com/user/Mad...0-%209-12-2013

Absolutely beautiful maxima. I remember when I was 16 and was looking for my first car, your 2 maximas showed the the potential of these cars.
sad to see you've got to move on. Good Luck with the sale bro.

SOLD!!
I'm really going to miss her, but she will be going to her great new home up north in a few days. I'll let the new owner chime in if they want.
For me to not actually own a Maxima at all, after 13 years having at least one, is going to be really weird...
