Still had to look good and be something different though. Most importantly, it had to have NO AFTERMARKET MOD SUPPORT!

I'd previously considered the Maxima a nice but not exciting car so it fitted the bill perfectly. Purchased one and it was great for the first 18 months, didn't spend a cent.

The plan all went to **** when I bought a computer and out of curiosity punched 'maxima' into Yahoo.

Damn Matt York! Damn SkyMax! Damn Matt93GXE! I was hooked.

not only a client i am also a donor.... ahahah

RWD MAxima >>> o - must flame myself somewhat

i recently went forum-hopping and came up with this info: the A-31 Cefiro is more similar to the Silvia and R32 Skyline, as it uses the same suspension as the former (180SX as well). the A-31 features, too, the RB series I-6. now >>>> the A-32 Cefiro is literally the I30, 4th gen Maxima, sans the FWD setup of those USDM cars. so i was 1/2 correct. and, i suppose, you were, too, about the M30 being more like the A-31- - kinda sorta. from what i have gotten, it seems the A-31 is sort of like the M30 meets the 240SX/Silvia. there's some guy on one of the nissan forums called "Sy Cefiro." and he has converted, as best can be done with it, his I30 into an A-32. it's pretty unique. i'll try to remember which forum it was and post a path to it.

and so it goes, the information age - - - -

anymore Cefiro lingo/info to go around? ----- anyone?

oh. what is VTC? and why does everyone replace or work on that? (flame is 'a comin' i feel it!!!) i bet it has sumthin' do with valves. or variable something. or timing. or sh*t who knows!

oh. why not more: does anyone have info about the VG33E from the Pathfinder? that could swap into the 3rd gen!
