BTW, mileage on a VQ motor is only a big deal if you didn't maintain it for those 150k miles. I didn't put nitrous on mine until it had over 150k. Still running (motor wise) perfect. I've ran as big as a 125 shot DPI of N2O on all stock internals. No prob. The auto tranny is weak. I had to put almost $5k in mine to hold (Level 10). If I had to do it all over, I would've done a 5spd swap/LSD and been done with it. I was hard headed.

...^good advice^

+you'll have a rare modified car....i mean don't see a lot people around this area with modified maximas.....and when i do they usually look hot as hell! i mean the VQ for your model year was 190 bhp w/205 lb/tq....thats a nice motor/numbers to work with...
