I was working on the max last night and i looked over at my 240sx......the mirrors are basically the same on both cars (92 and 92)....... so in the near future, im gonna try ordering some 240 mirrors and sticking them on the maxima....woul probably take a little modification because the front corner of the plastic bracket on the max is round, and its a sharp corner on the 240, but not different by much.

Any Thoughts?

 

Heres some pics:

heres the 3g's mirror:


and heres the tewfawty's (so what if its dirty...my 3rd gens more important at the moment :

 

so, i'm thinking, with minor modification, we can make it work eh?

 

look at the bolts inside then you'll know how swappable they are

 

you can always modify internal bolt patterns without making any obvious modifications...but yeah, ill check that out when i try this, and let everyone know

heres the powered M3's from erebuni.

whay model years are these pics taken from?

the fit and finish of the mirror in the first pic is so much cleaner

 

I guess my question is this. With as similiar as they look, why go to the bother?? are teh 240 mirrors supposed to make ur Max faster or will it work better to pick up the chicks? I personally think of those two pictures that the Max mirrors look better, seem to fit better and just look cleaner.. just my 2 cents :-)

 

I think he means to find aftermarket 240sx mirrors and make them fit.

Sure why not. I thought I have seen ones already made for the Maxima b4.

Such as M3 style. Check fleabay lately?

gothca, that I can understand :-)

 

i think one is ABS plastic and the other seems to be painted

low maint and no chips

 

The first pic is my factory 1992 nissan maxima SE mirror....the second pic is my factory 1992 nissan 240sx SE mirror.......the 240 has a less streamlined mirror bracket. But what i am looking into is if the aftermarket mirrors for the 240 would fit on the maxima without too much difficulty....just a different option for the maxima.

NO it won't make it faster (who would think that but a kid?)
NO it won't help pick up the chicks (who cares but the kids?)

I'm just trying to find some different mirror options for the 3rd gen max....everyone puts bimmer lights in theirs, the stillen kit, and all these other "customizations" that, might i add, aren't so custom if everyone has them. So is there a problem with me trying to 'pioneer' a new idea for the 3rd gen?

Any problems with the idea, just dont take the time to respond to the thread unless you have some positive criticism, please.

 

Aww, I'm 10 years older than you are.. so I'm most definitely not a kid. I was just making a light hearted comment, ment no harm.. I understand what you are trying to do now that someone mentioned the aftermarket portion of it. as for girls and speed, are either of those two bad things??. and yes, my 8 year old son used to think things like that made a car faster, when he was about 4 anyhow.. I wasnt trying to stir up anything and ment no disrespect by my post, so please dont read anything more into it.. it's all good.. Were all here for the same reasons and if you find something that works for you, I'd say good deal.

 

sorry man, yesterday was a long day for me, guess i was a little edgy. My apologies to you as well. And when i say kid, i wasn't referring to you, just every day ricers on the street driving the hamster hondas!

Like you said, it's all good,we're all here for the same reasons....Maxima!

 

did you try to look up for 4th gen maximas? ive seen a few on ebay for 4th gens but im not sure if the 3rd and 4th gens have the same mounting style

 

couple of guys on here have put m3 mirrors on their maxima. i like them how they are....too much work for such a subtle little thing to me.

 

and honestly for such an old car like ours to have the nice blue tinting on the mirros is pretty friggin cool....there are tons of high end 06 model year vehicles that still consider that an option

 

Have you seen the infamous CRX light mod on a max..keep searching.

 

yeah thats interresting keep working on it and let us know how it goes!
