  1. don't know about the GS, but on my previous 03 Maxima, the Tein S-techs were total garbage. Dropped the car coilover low, but rode like a riced out civic on cut coils. I would stay away from Tein springs, they make better coilovers, from what I understand.
  2. best HID bulbs are stock Phillips. Best LOOKING bulbs are the Phillips Ultinons, because they emit a purplish hue similiar to that of the BMW projectors with HIDs. They are pricey, yes but worth it and you'd want a pair of them. Best pricing online comes from www.suvlights.com which is where I got mine They are $300 or so for the pair shipped, and suvlights is the ONLY authorized phillips vendor online to date good luck!
  3. syph-very nice GS! :) i hope your co's dont ride at all like my JIC's....in NYC i find myself scraping everywhere :(
  4. thanx alot guys...my reasoning for dumping the maxima is multi-folded. 1) I am on my second tranny at 14k, with it taking the same route that the first one did (on its way out) 2) the depreciation is horrible-and im cutting my losses here 3) the ride is horrendous (I know-my fault-damn JIC coilovers :( ) as for the GS vs ES--I am limited to the 6 cyl-the GS 400/430 wouldn't be affordable at this point in time I want to keep the HIDs tho, which I have spent $300 in ultinon bulbs upgrading and wondering on the availability of them on GS 300's. I sat in the ES300-it was comfy but an overpriced camry at that. The GS sparked my interest with the e-shifting (paddle shifting) I guess I'll wait and see which I can get a better buy on-but I know that I am taking a few steps down in terms of power loss (maxima is a BEAST) but now with the stupid mayor of NYC, speeding has become damn near impossible anyway. thanx guys....you all already seem tons more respectable than the fellow maxima.org bretheran. :)
  5. woah.... thought my maxima was slammed....good G-d that must hurt over bumps....can u even clear speed bumps???
  6. Hi all, I am a NY guy from maxima.org who is presently disenchanted with his 03 Maxima SE, which is partially my fault. It's bad enough I am at 14k and I'm on my second tranny and it seems to be taking the route that the first one did. To make matters worse-I slammed the car on JIC coilovers which results in a not so compliant road ride (especially in NYC pothole filled streets). My question is to you guys-which car should I get and why. I know that the GS300 is RWD and has paddle shifting capabilities (for 01+ is it standard??) and the ES 300 would obviously be better in snow due to it's FWD chassis. I am just looking for some opinions as the used car pricing is quite competitive on both cars. thanks in advance guys. oh, and for those who want to see my current ride, check out my site: www.cardomain.com/id/nt2shbby
