My best friend's name is also Ari and he lives in teanaeck NJ.

 

chrome trim and vg30de motor is the gxe bro

 

The VG30DE isn't the nissan 300's engine?

I think you ment VG30E

 

ok first question to you. how many and how long have you owned a nissan maxima(s) cuz ive been owning maximas now for 3 years and yes it might be vg30e. ok so it is my bad my point is his car is a gxe all i need to say. your a newbie with how much knowledge of your own car you own which happens to be a gxe. i dont really care much for the gxe model im into only having se models

 

just added mines. reppin va (h-town) while im in ga with my pearl white 1990 Maxima with less than 40,000 miles on the original engine.

 

A newbie in what? In this forum?? So I can't speak now for that? If you made a mistake It's not my fault. I own my Nissan Maxima since 2002, that's 4 years so it's more than you....
If you say you don't care much about gxe's don't waste your time talking about them.
How is the thing, I can't give my opinion because I have a GXE and you a SE. I didn't know this was an SE-only-forum

And I don't have a gxe, is a mixture like the ones in australia

 

VG30DE NEVER came in a maxima!!!!!

my bad chit i corrected my statement about it being a vg30de if you would have read my post after that post

 

wow. a lot of hostility goin on here. Just wanted to say I added a spot to the map. Annapolis MD. proud owner of a 3rd gen and a 4th gen. 3rd gen is for sale though. all my money is goin to the 4th gen now. I loved the 3rd gen, and she's got a lot of life left (1992, with 116k) so hopefully she'll be good for somene else.

 

This is getting popular in all the forums I've been on.

 

I am a british expat living in Brunei (south east asia).

I just bought myself a 1989 Maxima less than a week ago. I am loving it.

Needs a lot of work, though. How you you repair the handbrake switch? The handbrake light is stuck on - even when the handbake is off so far that I can push the car when it is in Neutral. Other than that, great car - lots of fun weavign in and out of all the sloooooow 4x4s.

 

I've owned my 3rd gen 89 Nissan Maxima,6 cyl.,auto. for about 6 months.Very good running car,bought it from an older couple & has 115,000 miles on it.Been doing basic services & minor repairs lately.Oh,hello everyone!

 

your brakes are going to go bad or you have low pressure in your hydrolic lines... what happened to me

 

Thanks. They just have. The car is in the shop now with a leaking ABS motor. New ABS etc.. is very expensive (more than I paid for the car) and would take weeks to arrive in Brunei. The mechanic is going to by-pass the system, so I will have just normal brakes. Considering the cost of parts out here and the difficulty in getting hold of model-specific parts, it is wise for me to mod the car to a simpler format. (My wife's car needed new hinges for the bonnet (hood), after nearly a year of waiting for the part to arrive, I cancelled the order and mended them myself.)

 

I'm on the map. I live though in G3 capital: Memphis TN!

Not only my 2, but also: One around the corner, two up the block, amd one a street over, and this is just the start. 2 more in my company packing lot. 2 at the dealership, where I take my cars for service. Last time at the dealership, was talking with another couble that also had 2 G3s.

On any given day, I see at least 6 on the road, and I do not mean the same 6. I even seen in the last 2 weeks, 4 G3 with NEW TAG plates (ie bought from dealership and waiting for real plates to arrive).

These are not beater cars - though I seen those here too, most are in great shape, with middle age drivers, like these are their cars for years.

 

Hello Everybody! I guess a little late but here I go: I Live in Orange County CA, I bought My Maxima 2 years ago and I fell in love with it. It's basically stock because unfortunately i'm not a guru on mechanics but definitely want to add some mods. I Hope I can learn and help as possible and share experiences about our beloved cars. She's a Charcoal 1990 SE with VG30E, I'll upload some pictures later.

 

93 black nissan maxima that gives me nothing but problems

 

baldie aka kountz430 reppin jerzey via pa 94 gxe

 

I've got a '90 GXE sat on the driveway missing a transmission.

 

i'm getting work done on my max. hopefully i'll put it on the map in a week or 2

 

hi girls and boys, I have maxima '92 SE dark red. I bought it 2003 and I haven't any (repeat ANY) problems. many greetings to everyone

 

My Max has 237000 & cruising...
But, it has electrical problems.
I change the alternator every other year.
The door locks work only intermittenly.
If I don't change the alt regularly, the battery goes dead.
I've been told that I may have a short somewhere, but am afraid or don't know where to begin...
I do not do my own repairs, but can generally follow tech talk.
You know the old routine, re: wasting money on an old car & who best to rely on to diagnose the prob?
BTW, I live in Nyack, NY, some 25 miles NW of NYC.
Thanks for all your help.
I love my Maxima!!

 

Hi, I bought an 89 Maxima mid-November just as a starter car, but have fallen in love with it! It's silver and at only 137 K, I think I got a hellova deal. Only minor problems, electrical and old hoses, but I want to learn how to work on it myself, thus joining the board to learn what I can. I've never done anything like this, but I love this car, and think I'll enjoy working on it. I am totally oblivious to tech-talk, so does anyone have a link to help me learn some basics? I'm a total n00b at this!

 

Kissimmee FL
Bought my 93 GXE about a year ago with only 98K miles (wow!)
I was surpised by the get up and go this thing has... I LOVE IT!
So far, other than regular maintenance (oil, filters, brake pads & tires)
I have only had to replace the 'speed sensor' which was $80 and a simple DIY project.
The car started shaking last night on the road and I found this site tonight while doing the research on possible causes and solutions. I find out tommorrow whether the wheel bearings and/or ball joints need to be replaced. Wish me luck... Oh, and 'Hi everyone!'

 

Problems with my 93 maxima!!!!

I went to the brake shop today to have my drums checked out. I found out that my drums are cracked, there is 25% life left on my shoes, and I need new cylinders cause the old ones are leaky. This is gonna cost me around $350.

Is this an easy job to do? Or should I have the pro's handle this one? I am pretty handy when it comes to repairs. Any ideas where I can get these parts really cheap? Maybe you have some suggestions on better replacement parts.

HELP!!!!!

 

you can do it yourself fairly easily.
Do you want cheap parts or good parts?
Cheap parts, goto autoblown 5-10 times and you'll eventually get the right cheap part.

 

I want some good parts.

I really love my car and I want to "hook-it-up", but that ain't gonna happen right now. My rule of thumb is if I need to replace parts, replace them with upgrades or the best part possible- within my budget.

 

Just tacked myself on, noticed I'm not the only one from Kings Park! We've got quite a few 3G's around but its such a small town I doubted someone else from KP would be on the org

I've got a 92 white SE that isn't in the best shape of its life, but has been on its way up since I got my hands on it a little less than a year ago.

 

Greensboro NC checkin in.

 

Forgot to mention it's an 89. Light blue. Auto 22k.

 

Mine's been pretty bulletproof so far.

 

runs great
