My dad works at Gen. Dyn. and he uses a plastics machine that will make anything that you design on the comp. I think im gonna take advantage of this and try to design my own cup holders because a max doesn't have any.

Anybody got some pics of good looking cupholders that i might be able to borrow a design from?

Better yet does anyone know where to find some cup holders that wil fit into thst nice little dash pocket thats not used for anything?

 

Only thing I can guess is the one from a Saab 9000 or the ford taurus. You can try and have one of those produced but can fit super sizes and such.

 

i have seen the ford sho ones before. will it fit in the little slot?

 

I have this setup. It works really well (holds at least a 32 drink) and was less than $8.




It's a Spill Master JR. and I just removed the screw in the center console there and used a "L" bracket. It was secured with a bolt and double nutted. One of my favorite "mods"

hmmmm, can he make stuff for me for cheap? I need some parts made out of Delrin.

 

try bicycle waterbottle holders/ they are the best looking things to use to create a design. try supergo.com they have alot of styles. that might get the creativity flowing.

 

Yes it does. The slot is called a DIN slot.

 

Im not sure of the type of plastic, but it's expensive stuf. it depends on the part it cant be bigger then like 1 ft^3. Send me a design though i i might be able to hook you up.

 

Sorry if this is a stupid response but I'm new to the maxima scene (just picked one up after selling my 240SX) I have a 92 SE that has a cup holder. Slides out of the top of the tray that pops out under the stereo. Has a spot for cans and another for slightly larger drinks

I know my brother in-law's 91 GXE Brougham does not have one. Is this a feature only in the SE's

 

The slide out cupholder underneath the radio only came on 92-94 Maximas and those without the doubledin BOSE CD/tape combo

 

I have an SE and mine doesnt have a cup holder. Maybe someone took one outta another car and installed it onto urs

 

I have the ford taurus ones in my car, I'll try and get a picture up for you guys. They work great and fit in perfectly. Minor drilling is needed into the cupholder frame, but installation took me no more than 15 mins.

 

No it's factory. Even shows it in the manual. If you have the Bose stereo or your car originally came with the Bose system you apparently didn't get the cupholder.

 

my car came originally came with the Bose stereo system. Unless when they put in another radio something happened.

 

wpgmax and mymaxima29624 - read some of the other posts in this thread and you'll figure out why the 92 maxima had it but the 89 didn't

 

read c's post above. cupholders were an option with single din radios, bose or not. if you had the double din stereo, no cup option was given.

 

yeah he had posted his at same time as i posted my other one. i understand why i dont have one cause its an 89 cause i think it was a single but mines an older car

 

I must have had a brain fart because I was sure his vehicle description said 93 Maxima SE not 89. I guess I looked at the wrong post.

 

I'm not sure what year but the toyota mr2 has a cupholder thats din size as well. it looks better than the taurus etc. one in my opinion. i would check that one out.

 

ok this shoulda read I must have had a brain fart because I was sure HER vehicle description said 93 Maxima SE not 89. I guess I looked at the wrong post.

but anyway

what year mr2

here's one.

 

you do realize that one is in the UK

 

sorry for double posting but i think the better looking mr2 cupholder is the jdm one a pic of it is here http://www.bcmr2.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1912
i dunno where to find it tho.

Here is the one i meant ot post that i saw on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

 

Possibly a 93 and up to about a 98. Not too sure but it's a start. You should put for your location anderson, sc (im a girl). BTW how far is anderson from myrtle beach my old hometown?

 

You can also bid on some of these cupholders

 

you can buy the infiniti cup holders for any 3rd gen MAX. just tell the parts guy that you have a MAXIMA and he will bring you the right one.... guess who makes Infiniti? thats right-------NISSAN.

 

I am going to look ar the local garages and see it I can find any like this one. If I can't then I'll look for the others.

P.S.
IF they do and HAVE MORE than one I'll buy a couple in case someone else wants one.

 

I decided just to go with one of these.



for $20 on ebay i think these are kinda nice.

 

you can pick up one from your local junkyard from pretty much any 90's ford car, they have the coin/cup slide out. ill post a pic. of how mine fits. it cost me about $4 and i had to move some wires further back, but it works nice.

 

Here's some pics of what one looks like installed. Fits cups up to 16oz

For 32 or larger I usually put it in the armrest and hold the cup by the armrest lid.

Got change for a dollar?

 

Awesome...I have now been inspired.

 

lol, Sry man I'm using those for parking meters on campus. Thought I'd go this year without parking permits.

 

I finaly got my cupholders and i have installed them.
It only took me like 3 hours because of my damn monster cables, but i got the job done. Looks exactly like Maxmus_X's. that was the best $20 i ever spent on ebay.

PS. not my picture.

Hehe.

 

See those stupid cable's. and that air box. i has to dremel the he!! out of the back of the cupholder, look at the triangular thing.
