I might be saying good by to my max.

Yeah I might be selling my max with all my modds next week. I am currently in talks with my father in getting a black 2K2 6 speed HLSD, Black leather, sunroof and heated everything. I just got overwhelmed with my maxima the second gear is starting to pop out(13K on it), VTC, exhaust manifold leak, window regulator and now the temp pulling thing won't move and stuck on cold. after about $8000 of modds and repairs I might be throwing the towel in. I will also be getting a full time job for this if it happens.

I might try to keep my max but my father wants it gone

sorry to hear that bro, but I would much rather have a 2k2 6-speed anyday over my 93. All the regret will last about 10 minutes

He lied
I will fix it up if I don't get this new max. I have a 93 cherokee 5 speed for winter and also a 96 G Cherokee that is all in my name but I let my folks pay for it and drive it for the winter. My father says that I am not aloud to have 3 cars of MY OWN that he can't use.

I will probably sell the maxima as a whole for about 3kobo with all the modds. I will let the next owner worrie about parting it out.

I listed the problems in my first post. I also might be getting the tranny under warranty(Need to argue with nissan). Modds Powerslot Rotors, axiss ultimates (2K on them), eibachs, PR intake, AE shift ****, adjustable short shifter, cattmann new flex Y-pipe, greddy exhaust, ZKW headlights, walbro fuel pump, Centerforce clutch, stock lightened flywheel, 20% tint, new door lock timer and 10K old rear calipers(Damm things lock up on me).it is also loaded with every single option possible with black leather interior is as almost mint except a stupid tear on the butt of the driver seat seam I was going to get it fixed but too lazy. Still thinking if the z rims, 4 extra bose speakers, extra set of under body splash gaurds and extra MAF should be included probably for a small extra amount. has 159K on it now. I also have every reciept and there is alot of them.

Carbon fiber hoods and dash kits have a different weave. Hoods are usually twill weave and the dash is 3 something or other weave.

I will find out tuesday. Also I took my max out after not driving it for 2 day and it was great. I think it knows what I am thinks. The roads were wet and second gear was working perfect. It felt good to go WOT and feel the LSD at work. The VTC's did not even make a peep. It also felt like a monster on the highway in 3rd! Great Know I am thinking twice

I think you should try to keep it,and still get the 2K2. That way you could keep from getting to many miles on the new car.

That's my plan. Keep my '94 and get a 2K3 next spring. That will keep the miles down on both of them. I can keep the 5th gen garaged for the winter too.

I figure if I sell my max I can use the money for the loan or a S/C
