Just bought a 92 Maxima...my first Nissan...got a few Q's
 

I just got a 92 GXE, 135,000 on it, unfortunatly it's an automatic, my Uncle owns an Aamco transmission shop, and he can give me a good deal but is it worth it? I know that the manual will crush auto. How and where can i get my hands on a manual trans? This car has been very well maintained, I have all the documents. Tell me as much as you can about maintainence, I will be changing my own oil, waht filter and oil do you recomend, standard oil has been used throughout the life of the car, I was thinkning of switching to a synthetic blend, anything other information you can give me would be great.

you should refer to the stickies at the top and read through some of the web links their..gives lots of info

Yeah using synthetics should be no problem. I starting using mobil one since 150,000 miles. No leaks and actually got rid of some of the ticking on the VG motor

you could get a maunal transmission here http://www.car-part.com/noninterchange.htm

what ticking? i have 153k miles on my VG and nothing ticks

Yeah wtf? VG's don't tick :laugh:
