Re: My two Maximas
I have not updated this thread in a few years, but I still have maximas.
The anniversary edition that I posted previously has been brought back to stock and will be sold soon.
My bright blue 98 has not changed much (changed wheels but that happens often), but I finally got some slicks and ran a 12.8x@107. Still have not reinstalled the supercharger.
Toward the end of last year I was able to find a clean 1st gen (the only rwd maxima), it was dirty but in over all good shape and very minimal rust.
I cleaned it up and fixed some little stuff. While I had it down I rebuilt the front end and installed eibach springs from a 280zx and kyb struts. Here is how it sits now
The car runs well, but pretty much everything I have is an ongoing project so of course I want more power. So I picked this up from the Hampton Roads area to use as a doner vehicle.
I will be using the engine (l28et) and rear end r200 from this car, the rest will be sold as parts before being scrapped if anyone needs anything. I have not figured out my power goal for the car yet, but the current plans are to start around 200-225 hp and go from there.
I have other wheels and tires for this maxima too, but I have not installed them yet. They are the enkei apacheII

OP, You really need to turn your rep on.
I can really appreciate what you have going on here and can`t wait to see what happens with that first gen. For some reason i keep imaging it with a set of shakotans.

Re: My two Maximas
Thanks man, and possibly. The mileage of your car scares me but I could put another engine in it pretty easy, and fix all the other stuff...just not sure if I want the work right now. PM me your best price on the car and I will let you know if I want to come look at it.
Yeah, that wheel is very popular with Datsun people, I like it too. I really like the look of the ApacheII though, plus I wanted a staggered set (15x7 and 15x8) and the apacheII comes with offsets that I think will work well with out needing to stretch the tires. I have a fender roller so I intend on at least rolling the rear fender lips, I am hoping I don't need to do anything in the front but we will see.
Thanks
That car is my baby. It's currently just sitting in my garage. I think I only drove it twice last year. For some reason reverse decided to stop working with no warning, and I have not had a chance to really dig into it. I have been focusing more of my time and money into getting my garage built at my house (building in the back ground of the first gen) and not so much on my cars. Once the garage is "finished" I will have more time and resources to dedicate to my cars.
