Latest Update

As of 8/7/2021, the car is in the process of being parted out. The engine blew a head gasket and also experienced an electrical issue. At this point, it was not worth fixing. It was a really good run with this car. It treated us very well. We will miss you Midnight.

What motivated you to MOD your Maxima?

I’ve always had a passion for cars my whole life. I modded every car I had.  When I was in highschool my aunt was moving and had to sell her car. I researched and saw it had the same engine as the 350z I got excited and bought the car from her. I instantly fell in love. In 2009, I met a few OG members from maxima.org in the area. One member (Bryan) had a boosted 4th gen Maxima) and that’s where it all started. – Josh
