You guys are lucky, I just did mine recently at only 107k

2kMaxim

Least you didn't figure it out by leaking oil tinged steering fluid onto a customer's driveway like I did.

95VQ30

Hard to tell when you're stuck in the rear view mirror

D.Stillwell

I don't usually check my oil while driving

Nor am I much of a boy racer type with my Maxima...I drive a fully track built e36 at Summit Point.

And we also have a 7th gen...

2kMaxim

On that topic I went at it with a g35 sedan on the highway the other day and didn't get smoked. Sure he put about two car lengths on me but as far as I'm concerned if I can still lob a stone and hit your car, you haven't beaten me by much. That's what he gets for having 400 extra pounds.

Now when I smoke people on my motorcycle, it's usually an absolute annihilation...lol

D.Stillwell

^ Nice. G35 aint all that esp. the awd ones are heavy... vq37 on the other hand is pretty violent.

I've dipped out and gotten away on the popo several times in a stock e46 M3 6MT when I was young and wild. Handling > straight line speed, not that an e46 is slow by any means...

The G35 whoops a Maxima any and everyday!

2kMaxim

Depends on model and year. They are 3600+lbs vs maxima 3200. So they give up 40hp there. The first gens had 260hp which is no problem for a 3.5 2002-2003 maxima to get to with light mods. A heavily modded De-k can reach almost that (which I'll show pretty soon with my dyno results). Gearing goes to the g35 most likely but on the highway...my max wasn't running out of steam chasing that g35. He couldn't really get away

Overall the RWD G35 will chew through any Maxima.

In a straight line MAYBE Maxima could keep up but the G35 chassis is superior for sporty driving.

edit: The g35 is also called the skyline in other countries.....

2kMaxim

Maybe so...but I'd venture a guess that my coilovers on medium tight setting and dropped like they are could annoy the hell out of most g35 drivers. I took a bend so fast the other day that I had to lean up against the door....lol

G35 mod community is huge... Tons of sleepers out there

2kMaxim

I know I know. Modded it's no contest. But heavily modded maximas are no slouches. Especially for cars this old

D.Stillwell

Which is a shame to the Skyline name. A true skyline from R32-R34 were amazing cars and are not even close to being in the same league as any G35.

2kMaxim

Are you sure they are called the skyline? Remember there's an actual skyline gtr in America....

D.Stillwell

Where? The R35 GTR is not called a skyline.

G35 is definitely known as a Skyline outside of America, definitely in Japan and europe. They called it the skyline 350gt instead of g35, and it has a Nissan badge since Infiniti is a USA only brand.

As for an actual, real Skyline...Look up R32-R34 those are the real deal and the only true Skyline GT-R.

2kMaxim

Yeah the Silvia or whatever. Only thing that could match teh Sssupra

Decent


Dream car... Couldn't get these in Canada until recently due to car laws.

D.Stillwell

^ Silvia? What does that have to do with Skyline? Check this out guys, this is one of my favorite cars of all time, R32 skyline gtr:

R32 DESTROYING Industrial Backroads!!! Drifting, Flybys, and Re..." on YouTube
Skyline R32 DESTROYING Industrial Backroads!!! Drifting, Flybys, and Re...:
R33 skyline comes in a close 2nd, and R34 in 3rd place for me.

And whats with the Mitsubishi george? uke:

Evo IX is nice but awd is for amateurs just like the boy racer Subarus

replaced bulbs in rear side markers. one was burnt out but figured i'd just do both

2kMaxim

No idea why I said Silvia...that's the 240sx ...lol. Absolute monster when turbo'd though

D.Stillwell

Come on now, you're still a bit off

They share the same chassis but different car with different engine choices. Silvia was Japan-only and available with the turbo sr20det which is the exact engine that was being swapped into the 240sx lol

2kMaxim

I give up

D.Stillwell

I WIN!!



...just kidding lol

2kMaxim

Facts always win..lol

D.Stillwell

Facts are facts, indeed...lol

Gonna go work on my Cefiro now

I don't think SSJRICH would have approved....

D.Stillwell

No worries young grasshoppers, thread back on track...



Finally found the exact color I was looking for



Cleaned up the filter and got a new aluminum MAF adapter as well, threw the plastic one in trash

2kMaxim

Cleaned my engine bay and was feeling happy until I saw the reason my windshield sprayers weren't working wasn't in fact that I was out of fluid but that the little hose and connector are just hanging there from my hood not connected to anything. Place it plugs in, nowhere in site.....weeeee!

D.Stillwell

Dude, so you've been spraying washer fluid on your engine every time you tried to use it or no?

Look under the hood heat shield to connect the hose back up

2kMaxim

Lol....good question. Unfortunately it's this one. There is nowhere for it to connect in site.

what the heck?

2kMaxim

Exactly!

iTrader: (1)

Where's the other one connected to?

2kMaxim

They appear to be on one line. Like daisy chained. This looks like the main line to pump

2kMaxim

This is for the wiper sprayers. That looks like the wiper motors themselves...

I literally went and looked under the hood and in the engine bay for like ten minutes..lol. No clue what hose is supposed to go into that coupler
