looking good!

What type of springs do you have?

 

I like that grill a lot, anybody ever thought of getting one imported? Nice car by the way.

-payne-

 

someone has, but if tell he will kill me in my sleep....

 

Hey, the springs I got are made from KING. The shocks I have are KYB.

 

Thanks guys, keep the comments coming By the way, I want to put my streering wheel on. The bosch kit that I can get down here fits, but when I try the horn, no go Has anybody else had this problem. I may just have to bite the bullet & rewire the horn. What you guys think?

 

I doubt he'd even wait till you were asleep.

Edzmax, to be honest I really like that very first pic of your car simply lowered with the rims because it looks super smooth. If it were mine I'd have given it a dark tint, some clear front and side indicator lenses and left it exactly like that. Beautiful.

Now I could pick on a few things starting with the GTR badge, but only because I prefer the original look.

 

Car looks beautiful! I really like those corner lenses and grille! I guess the mix the GXE/SE options together in NZ. I wouldnt be able to figure it out if I saw it in person. Wait, they dont do it by GXE/SE there do they? That rear bumper is wierd!

 

Going to get tint on soon, when the g/f pays for it. As for the GTR badge, well I thought I would be silly

 

The Maxi's down here go by S, SE & SEL. Mines an S, the bumper is factory.

 

Clean Max!!

 

looks great!

 

id get new side markers i dont like the little round circles

 

I especially liked what you did to your car to make it look like an R32. very nice job.

 

I like your interior dude...

Too bad you don't have climate control (i do but i need to change the leds in the ****).

Good job on the car man.

BTW we also have the Ti model here too (which is what i have).

 

hey! im from auckland newzealand
cool to see that im not the only one downunder :]

heres a pic of my 91 maxima (no variant, its an import)
its got a VE under the hood from the factory :]
ill put some more pics up later... its got full leather, climate air, electronic suspension, k&n filter (as of last week), sunroof... and all the factory bits!

i want to get a y-pipe, i just need to find a place in the states that will send one over!
i also want to get the suspension reworked as it handles like crap at the moment.

 

you're so right on that part.

 

very nice pics

I'm not sure if the parking brake handle really matches the rest of the interior, but I assume you like it or else it wouldn't be in your car

keep up the good work

 

According to the US spec maximas you have a 92-94 GXE with a VG in it. I don't know exactly how the trims are done DownUnder so i may be wrong when it comes to how they are done there. Looks clean though.

 

Logan91VE, your car looks freashly cleaned and waxed!!
EdzMax car looking good!! Sorry but must say that the GTR symbol is not rockin. But, do you!!

 

Hey Logan,
Nice to see there are now "4" people on here from New Zealand. Welcome!!!!! Iw you are ever in wellington, look me up, can't miss 'MeJulie'
By the way, there is a company down in CHCH that can help you with all these parts.
www.japrace.com, give them a call.
See ya dude
Edzmaxx

 

Hey Craig, u will see why I got the parking brake when I put on my steering wheel. Its a wooden steering wheel that will match the brake. Have to get a kit for it.

 

The rear window wing looks pretty nice. The rear fogs are cool, but yeah, get rid of the GT-R badge.

 

back again!

some of you might be sceptical as to whether or not this is actually a VE so i got some more pics :] my car is a japanese model so its likely that they had the VE engine in their maximas before any other country. im not sure, but i think all of the models built in NZ had the VG motor, which is a shame really because my VE goes a lot harder than my dads old NZ built VG.

...yes it is freshly waxed tehe

thanks for the link to that site edzmax, hope it comes in handy

anyway heres the pics, some of the interior, the engine and the registration :]

Hey Logan,
nice car! I know which model you have. I've seen them down here, but didn't think of getting on of those models. But now I know, I should have. You know in New Zealand back a couple of years ago you couldn't trust an import. Now you can trust them. How much you pay for u're pod filter? Going to call that company down in CHCH for a filter & sway bar. Once again, nice car! That woodgrain dash is what I need now!!!

 

Crazy! Without the underhood shot, I'd say it was a 92 GXE (92-94 Grill, no air-bag). Very unique.

 

its got bits and pieces from all different models, its a bit wierd but cool, but the japanese are like that

ve motor is awesome too :]!

i got my filter for $100 from a mate at repco =)
k&n generic thingy, you can get filters from heaps of places...
something under $200 is good enough i reckon, they sound real loud too!

 

kool, that place in CHCH are selling them $80 & the adaptor for about $40 dollars. By the way, do you have a back shot of ure max? I just want to have a look at it

 

Wow that max is beautiful! Seems like it includes that Sonar Suspension thingy, auto climate etc... all with a VE engine! Now all it needs is a 5spd

 

cheers for the comments guys :]!
its not a bad car at all for a 19yr old :P

it does have its problems though. It seems to be ticking once or twice every time i drive it , it handles quite badly at speed, the bose radie seems to be playing mostly out of one side while the cd player plays out the other side (wierd,) and it uses a heck of a lot of gas !

dont expect the filter to do much if anything to performance, youll just be disappointed, buy it for the noise i reckon :]

ill have to take pics of some of the maxima's round here.. theres a few nutcases that have 17" chromies and no springs, they look so mean, but oh so illegal hehe.

thats all i can think up at the moment, heres the back side pics for ya EdzMax, sorry if ya got a 56k as theyre quite big heh.

Hey Logan, the gas, well u have to expect that for a V6. U're car will eat more gas riding around town than on the freeway. As far as the handling, go get a wheel alignment done. Thats when u will know what the problem is.
Yeah, I know the car u have. Mines a NZ new, I saw the one u have & didn't really want a Jap import. But hey, my loss u're gain!!!!
They saw with the air intake u get about 5 extra horsepower, so I am getting one(but also for the noise). By the way Logan, are you on MSN or ICQ?

 

$40 gas tends to get me 300-350kms heh, a bit thirstier than the old 2L toyota hehe

oh and its often best to go with NZ new because jap imports are often quite dodgy :P, i only bought mine cause it was in good nick, had believable km's (just under 160k) and it has a VE under the hood :]

the filter does get you 5hp... which is like 2% more overall, so its not very noticeable heh

gonna buy new tires for the front then get an alignment(the alignment is out at the moment) but i dont think this will improve the handling much.. we shall see !

oh and im on icq

Wow! chrome door handles! I dont know what to think

 

Most of Jap imports here I've seen down here have them.

 

Hey..where did you get the roof spoiler for your car??

 

I got it off a maxima that was in the junkyard. I can find out for you on what it is called & how much it is.

 

how much did your springs and shocks cost to get? and where did you get them?

i think i need to replace the shocks and springs in my max, i just need to get a price first hehe

 

Hey Logan, I will tell you in ICQ.

 

cool, ill try get on :]

 

I priced replacing the Sonar Suspension shocks from Cockram Nissan in Chch 2 years ago and they were about $400 a pop ($1200 a set - ouch). Go for after market ones as you should get a decent set for less than that!

The Sport Comfort switch also adjusts the amount of assistance from the power steering, so don't disconnect the entire unit. Just disconnect at the shocks.

Brent.

PS - My wife's 3rd Gen Max with tired suspension still handles better than my 5th Gen Max!
