Can you 2nd gen guys post up pics in this thread of some really hot 85 to 88s?

 

Cardomain.com is your friend. Youll see mine when going to my home page from here

 

how hot you wanna get??


engine hot or body hot??

 

Both kinds of hot. Like this.

 

single turbo is lame

go dual



hahahaha


but that is the other new york turboed 2nd gen maxima there is a few of us left.


you got more pics of the engine bay on that??

 

Dual works better if you did sequential...small turbo spooling a big turbo...else single big turbo > *.

OP: Here is more to work with. Pretty easy obtainable mods. My car probably was the more heavily modified cars here. Just short of FI which was already in the works before I wrecked the car. I had a kick *** setup for autox.



E-dog might have the turbo, but I would own his *** in the turns.

 

nice to still see these around

 

you might but i might wanna add that i got a RSB, FTSB, RTSB and adjustable suspension on firm all the time hahaha!

 

Stock adjustable suspension for the loss.

 

look dont be mad that you aint got it anymore, you know that you loved it!

 

im here doing my thing check out my stuff on nycmaximas.org

 

Mine stop working...and it isn't worth the few grand to fix it. Besides...my KYB/Eibach setup was still light years better than even the stock adjustable.

stock non adjustable was still light years beyond stock adjustable.
mines been sitting for about 10 months, i am going to get a momento from it.....the alternator with the life time warranty, and its getting shipped off for a couple hundred

 

ok then i gots a question sarin, the rear shocks is there a cartridge to remove or sometin. shows it in my fsm but i cant seem to turn the bolt. i wanna do a hybrid of 3rd gen springs and 2nd gen struts so i can keep the adjs. they(adjustables) really help the baby sleep....

 

Well the stock strut is one unit, but you can remove the gland pack to take it apart and add a strut cartridge. Keep in mind that the spring diameter on 3rd gen springs is smaller than 2nd gens.

S

 

yeah thats why i asked because the fronts look the same and i saw the rears and was like, dang not a straight swap. i think i might just go 3rd gen suspension i luve the adj,s but finding a set of rears that work is slim to none. and new is outa the question due to the fact that theyl be worth more than the car. oh well ditch it i think ima gonna go 3rd gen suspension.

 

here is my humble addition to the modified 2nd gen pictures. This is my maxima by the way, and it is nowhere near being done. headlights are being replaced ASAP, and the fogs have been replaced since these pictures. Too bad I don't have any rear pictures yet, my babies *** is the shizznit

 

Love the rims! Are those the made by Privat?

S

 

They are 19x8.5 made by MRR designs. Luckily I had already done the 3rd gen suspension swap because these are 5 lug wheels. They are unexpectedly light at around 28 lbs(for 19" chrome rims)

 

 

Did you know that the Z32 adjustable struts on normal had the same rebound/compression as the 2nd gen on firm? Back in the day when mine went out I considered taking the strut apart and either using a thicker fluid or finding a Z32 shock to see if I could swap internals. I ended up with some kyb gr2s and ST springs. Knowing what I know now, I'd look into maybe modifying a set of kyb AGXs and going with a different spring. I'm thinking that if your after better handling then a custom set of springs will need to be made along with a shorter strut that would keep the travel near stock.

 

Nice lookin 2nd gens

 

I still do want to get a 2nd gen one of these days!

 

i kno where someone is selling one at

 

Nice old school!!!

 

Those are some nice looking cars I have a bone stock 88 gxe that keeps having problems lol have plans for it but keep having to dump money into it to keep it running
