USPS, would be at least 30-40 bucks, given weight and dimension of box. I just shipped something to TN and it was about that. If it came out less I'd reimburse you. If it was within... say 5 bucks over, I'd just eat the cost. I'm good that way.
I can tell you the headers make a difference. You will feel it immediately.

Well let me know. Headers w/catback exhaust on the 3rd gen is sweet. It makes me want to get another 3rd gen. It's a shame they dropped the IRS on the Maximas for the 4th, and 5th gens. A waste. A dialed 3rg gen is tight.

Just curious, can the EVO VIII Brembo calipers be made to fit a 3rd gen, maybe using the R32 brackets?
Also, what kind of pads are in the Z32 calipers?
And, do you think the LTB Stage-2 is much lower than Stage-1?
Thanks.

I had R32 GTS-t brakes on my 3rd gen (pictured). GT-R calipers a bit bigger but the hole mount spacings are the same. If you ran GT-R wheels then GT-R calipers would probably work. GTS-t calipers are smaller than GT-R and will work with non-GT-R wheels. I had GTS-t wheels in the front, GT-R in the rear.
And contrary to belief, you don't have to remove the entire dust cover plate on your front brakes to fit the upgraded calipers; only a small notch needs to be removed.
However, the Brembos are even bigger than R32 GT-R brakes, and with the adapters (which are basically spacers), should bolt up fine as the hole spacings for GT-R and GTS-T are the same.
BUT.... the hole diameters for the GT-R bolts are bigger than GTS-t (I just went out and looked). That would mean that if you put these spacers onto your Maxima, you may have play. You'd have to somehow shim the holes up so the adapters wouldn't move around.
Moreover, you will then get into clearance issues with wheel offsets and spoke design, so you would have to address that. These Brembos are giant.
As well, you'd have to change your master cylinder to something much larger. I had a 300ZX unit in my Maxima, for example (and one in my S14 right now).

And, do you think the LTB Stage-2 is much lower than Stage-1?
I can tell you that the Stage II brace, coupled with a FSTB, lowering springs, and Michelin Pilots made such a huge difference that the car felt like a totally different machine. I began taking huge risks in the car on mountain passes and onramps and it just stuck to the road.
The biggest drawback of the 3rd gen is that it's chassis is overall too twisty and weak (had a lot to do with the sunroof --wish mine never had one). Were it reinforced even further, with extra welds down the entire chassis, no sunroof, it would be nearly perfect (for what it is).
It was a sad day when mine was totaled and I miss that car badly to this day, but have since moved onto an S14.

You'd have to do extensive body work to mod them. I've seen it done years ago on a very old thread here. The R32 4dr tails would be easier to mod, but would still require body work. It depends on how badly you want to be different

He's gonna ask around and do more looking into to it, maybe then get back to the forum w/what he found. We both kinda thought it wouldn't work after the talk, but you never know. It would be a study between the VG and VQ blocks, how they differ/are similar.
We also found that in the header topic, you either have cheap-o ebay type headers, or you have to jump way up to Cattman type, custom-made, which are uber expensive when buying new.

Do you still have the Blehmco LTB Stage II and OEM fog lights? Is so, please tell me price shipped to 32615. Also, do you think those headers would work with a VG turbo setup or are they only for N/A?

I just sold the Stg II underbrace this week. I do have the fogs. The headers are meant for N/A, but if you fabricated a flange and downpipe you could probably adapt them to turbo. Any 3rd gen VG turbo setup will have to be a custom-fab install regardless. However, they made quite a bit of difference on my 3rd gen; not as a turbo would, but the pull is much harder and throttle responds much quicker. I also have a Fidanza flywheel for the VG that I need to post up here. It's for sale too.

Also, if you want to do it, send a money order instead of PayPal. I'll give you name and address, PM you.
