Maxima Man

,,,,,,,,,,,look down

93 SE 5-speed with 308k. Engine is strong and I try to keep up with various repairs. But the structural integrity of the frame as been severely compromised. If I jack the car up in the front, It jams the front doors. I would like to fab a front strut brace but looks difficult. Has anyone seen one for a 3rd gen?

a strut tower brace?

you can use one from a 5th gen. I don't think that will solve your problem, though. You must have some kind of weakness caused from rust or damage.

You might be able to get some subframe connectors to help with strengthening your car.

shironissan

I didn't think a strut brace would fix the door jam problem, I just want to improve suspension response. Will a fifth gen front brace work? Can you point me to an example car?

Just busted the 190Ks . . i guess it'S not enough but i've done 60K in 2 years so . . to me it'S good enough

umm, I think every VE on this site has a 5th gen strut tower brace. I got mine off ebay about 3-4 years ago for $20.

I think mine is like this one:

5th gen strut brace

It does touch the foam on the AC line, but mine has gone for years with no problem.

is your door already hanging a little?

shironissan

I got the 5th gen strut brace today and it fits good. Thank you.

220,000 miles and counting...though repairs seem to be coming more frequently. Just replaced a hose on the gas tank

You can purchase subframe connectors from Warpspeed, that may stiffen the chassis a strut tower brace won't help.

Wow! Good on you! Is that with an original transmission and engine (i.e. no rebuilds of either)??

there are 89766384957364958743 threads about milage i have seen since i got on the org sometime ago....mine has 232k

wrkllc

Yes! Lost the tranny around 379K got one at the junk yard with about 70K on it $525.00, new alt at 399K, all else is original, No rebuilds. Working perfectly so far, so last count was 401409 miles.

Now there are 89766384957364958744 sorry!

I guess if American made cars got this kind of mileage we would be talking about them. Every Ford, Chevy, and Dodge I have owned lasted about 150K thats it.

my s10 has 205k orig motor and it runs flawlessly and my bddys camaro has 198k those are the only two domestics i ever saw that lasted and actually still run right im with you on that

AkiroS14

im thinking of buying one with a little under 300k on the clock, this thread has given me a little bit of hope, but ill still ask formally once i reach the 15 post mark.. haha

For the "What it's worth department" I own a 1991, 1992, a 1994 Maximas and a 2004 Titan LE, I found out I like driving my cars instead of spending time under them. I also had a 2000 tundra but when the tranny with at 78K miles I had the toy shop fix it and then took it right over to Nissan. So in my book Nissan = High Mileage. Just do the correct maintenance.

TempMaxMan

Good to know. Only at 170k now. Engine still running very strong.
