My 87 two tone repainted.
Going back to the paint shop, added new bumpers that were primered and the shop did not sand them. Thus the different color grey on the bumpers.

 

how much was it to paint?

 

It was a cheap job from Earl Schieb. The 450.00 6 year warranty was on sale for 350.00. Did not want any body work done since im only keeping the car for a 1 year. But its going back friday for the redo on the bumpers.

 

My 1984 Maxima with L28 conversion

I have an 87 too as a winter car but its kinda plain and i don't have any pics

 

awwwh wheres the "t" at? no 280z turbos in your area?

 

its so clean!
Its so clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish my maxima was as clean as that

The summit sticker makes you faster :-)

 

Yes that does sound beautifull, what kind of exhaust is in there.?

 

You mean this "T"?



Works great on the L24 but have a f54 with p90 head and the complete engine management system out of a 7mgte supra that runs 420cc injectors stock and will pass emissions.

 

Stock exhaust from headers to cat. 2.5" piping from catback. Magnaflow muffler.

dopnt know who earl is but thats awsome for $350

is it just the pic or does that back door and that rear quarter pannel look a little off?

 

Yes it is off. Did not realize until later. Was going to fix it, but said the heck with it. The back end driver side is bent down a bit. Thanks for the compliment on the paint, in fact I took it back and they repainted the whole car. (I'LL post the pic today.) The new management told me they ran out of paint the first time and tried to mix something up, thus why my bumpers did not match and the car did not shine. Tried to scam me.

 

huh thats werid that it hangs down and nothing looks creased or any thing, just doesent come together right, musta been a hard hit, any way.....

if your only gonna have it for a short time why all the work?
i mean its good that you are doing this but i know most people would be like...meh

 

Heres the thing, I got this car for my mother-in-law. I owned a 96 Civic, sold that on a Monday, was planing on driving my 69 chevy truck for a week or two, then the trans died on me. So I start driving the Maxima and decided to clean it up a bit. To repair that quarter panel would cost me around 800.00 alone. So I felt I could live with it. Car rides good and when looking from behind, the car is straight, so what the heck.

 

Last yr's winter beater.. 87 Se.. Was in real good shape.. Had to get the rear shock towers welded up other than that it was a great car.. Sold it to my friends mom after winter. Still tickin along with more than 250k.









Id buy another one if i could find one in Similar shape in the 5spd.

 

these are a couple of pics from when i used to drive it everyday but now ive got a 240sx so i have kind let this car go downhill but it still looks the same except it has the factory max wheels back on it

 

WOOT horray for the maxima, can't wait to post my 85 max pic up

 

I can't wait for you to get your 15 posts so I don't have to do more useless postwhoring. Thanks.

 

Hey max95q, where'd you get the Coin/Cup holders below your radio? Those are sweet!

 

I believe he used a kit from a Taurus for that. It's definately a cool mod, but placement is a little on the sucky side (if you put it in the stock EQ place, it'll block your stereo.

I have owned this car for about 2 years now
only modes that i have dun to it is
turbo is at 10ps boost put a BOV/pod filter and a 2 1/2 inc big bore
I have got a intercooler and a new turbo in the shed to put on it

 

how fast are the turbo 2.0L's? Have you ever run it at the track? I would love to have one but they are not available here.

Nice pictures

 

I have never put it down the track but it is a lot fast tham any 3rd Generation that i have came across with the vg30e
Is there any way to tell between the vg20et and the vg30et with out pulling the heads off
because when i got the car it came with the old motor mines the inlet manifold

 

on top of the block by the tranny it is written there, kinda down in there tho

 

anyone got wagon pics?

 

Hello guys and gals. Just wanted to share my maxima, L28 turbo, 83 280zx turbo rims and of course the talking lady Thanks, Rommel

Have any shots of the interior?

see that dash....super jdm kmph reading but the hud on the windsheild is in mph





the cockpit you all wish you had LOL!

 

i'm new to the max forum, here's some pics of my newly purchased 82' DATSUN maxima....

 

It seems the turbo and 5 speed coupled with 215/50s take about 2 seconds off the quarter mile time.

This is with a 277,000 mile engine on a 50,000 tune up that falls on it's face at 5,000 rpms.

I'm sure it would have gone a bit faster with the 3.73 or a 3.90 diff. rather than the R200 that had 3.54 in it though the top speed in 4th (5 speed) is about 125mph.

I am using the super skinny diameter stock exhaust with catalytic convertor but cut it off just after the turn down after it passes over the rear crossmember.

The engine just has a 280zx turbo intake and exhaust manifolds on the stock high mileage engine with stock maxima injectors but I did use a 1982 280zx non-turbo ecu and maf more because mine were bad and I had the parts laying around but it is possible the ecu for the larger displacement l28 might run a longer pulse width since the L24e and L28e use the same sizes injectors as delivered from the factory.

The 1982 280zx non-turbo ecu may not work on other years since the 280zx came with at least 3 fuel pump schemes in it's run as some had 3 some had 2 and some had 1 fuel pump relays and the later 280zx ecu uses the e12-92 ignition module which allows the ecu to control ignition advance.

Who knows......maybe the earlier e12-80 module would be better but it might put a later style ecu into some sort of limp mode or not run the fuel pumps because the ecu doesn't see a crank reference signal.

It does burn the crap out of the tires.





Yes, I took it to the track last week and yes I found a victim.

My time on the right.....

 

Nice pics guys, I love 2nd gens a lot. Truth be told, my father had an 87 SE and that was the first car I ever saw and liked. Possibly the car to make me a car enthusiast. If I could get one for cheap and restore it, I would.

Sorry about the old bump.

Here's a 1983 Maxima bought a few weeks ago. It's in rough shape.









It's pretty ugly right now. Needs the interior refreshed and a paint job. The paint is in okay shape, but that color to me is ugly.

 

holy mother ****ing hell that things sexy, RWD 5spd inline 6= WIN.

Paint it white, get the exhaust redone, throw on a turbo and get a Z31 hoodscoop

 

Damn, that's what i was thinking, painting it white..well, assuming i could find enough junked maximas to change the interior color also. Never thought about a hood scoop..that's an interesting idea.

 

Z31 hoodscoop are awesome, IMO only older style car bodies can pull them off. for Maximas that would be 3rd gen and under

Big E Dog has one on his 2nd gen, see his sig

 

I!.... kinda want that. lol!
never thought about my psp on dash.. that could be a bad idea
