Point being there are many of both. Thus both being "played". New or old doesn't affect the QTY of cars out there. There are many that consider their next purchase a 3-gen. Logic sees no difference.



BTW I quoted before you edited your G reference to the new V35. Nice try anyway.

Maybe if I rubbed my eyes until they water, added a liberal dose of mace + a 1/5 of Jack Daniels while standing on my head I might. The Chevy Impala has round tailights also. I guess they are "just like the Skyline" also.

You don't have to agree. But you don't have to agree with reality either. Coupe wagon? Now the coupe looks like a wagon. What logic is this now?
Why are you changing your logic? Now it's old vs new? Before it was VE, clean and 5-sp. Which is it?


I already got it. Again your logic

Oh and looking at a coupe's rear, at night, with one eye closed, standing on your head while smoking crack is supposed to make sense? Please

Your opinion, like your logic is

-------------------------------------------------------------

That's fine. Go ahead and compromise while spending thousands. Not my style.

You agree with the above? Um like your own statement? Wha?

 

Look. I think I just saw a Skyline go by Ray Charles agrees

 

 

hey look! If you make your eyes really small and rub them hard enough, skyline!

 

This arguement is rediculous but very funny (in a stupid way) lol...

 

I just bought a '93 Miata with a blown HG for cheap cheap. If I can get it running I may replace the Maxima. Sorry guys, but I just cant say no to a car with RWD, 50/50 weight distribution, and four wheel double wishbone suspension. I will miss the back seat though.

 

see I knew what I was talking about. not that I give a **** what anyone thinks but I see way more 3rd gens than I see g35's and most g's that I see are silver and auto. but whatever to each his own.

 

There's definitely alot more 3rd gen's on the roads than G's. Although, I don't think that there's more VE-5's on the road than G's. Who gives a **** anyway. The G35 is a better car in almost every way possible. Most people like the looks of the G some people don't...who cares...everyone is entitled to thier own opinion...

 

Got a MR2 Spyder and that thing was a blast... but I finally decided to get my dream car:



A 300ZX N/A 5-speed

I prefer the N/A over the TT due to numerous reasons. Biggest being that I'm putting the VH45 into it.

I want to remove that stupid nose piece though... the smooth one looks so much better. Its really hard to add stuff to the Z without making it look bad. Nissan really got these things right from the factory.

I still have the Maxima though and have no plans of getting rid of it.

 

^^^ awesome project! *whisper* LS1 *whisper* haha.

I 100% agree on add ons for the Z32. Most kits make them look ridiculas. Just clean with springs/shocks and some nice wheels.

 

so what kind of car are we allowed to get to not be like the rest fo the maxima owners out there that are played out with their skyline-like g35 with taillights that illuminate when you step on the brake coldwhackfoshizzle?


still looking for a 3 wheel or 5 wheel car that doesnt go to the junkyard in large numbers so it can be different. if you hear of one, holla.............

 

No domestics please :/

 

you got rid of the spyder

 

But I do when I see a G35 Coupe around every corner! Not the 3rd gen!

I really don't get what you and N34JZ have discovered.. Am I missing something? Nice try for what? If I edit something, I edit right after my post.. Not much later to save my tail, if thats what your implying. Nothing I said should have caused any confusion. V35 Skyline in Japan = G35 Coupe here.. Whats there to be confused about? Reason why they gave it that name is....... Take a wild guess... Hhhmmm....

Actually that car really does copy the Skyline. Even from the front. You wouldn't have to do all that hilariosly crazy nonsense you mentioned above to notice that.

What are you babbling about? Now your just trying to insult me, I think. Obviosly it's not a wagon.. Do I have to put "band" in front of it everytime? Looking at the real defination, I guess I should have. But was it really necessary to point that out?

I noticed that you weren't really following what I was trying to say, so I got off that. Please don't bring it back. Logic is still the same. G35 Coupe is getting boring seeing around every corner. The drivers are starting to look the same too

No need to be intimidated by it

Sure thing meng.

All right..

There are plenty like it that look different. I guess with that comment, I take it your style is being the same.

Um, like yeah.. Last time I checked it's very possible when trying to make a point..

Im sure anything Jeffy says, will be good enough for you :nod

-------------------------------------------------

We're going nowhere fast with this one.

 

big ups on this multi post responding you're doing. its gotta take some skills.

i just find it funny that we are talking **** about being different, but we own the same cheap car. if you have the money to spend on a g35 and choose to buy a gto instead, go you, but last i checked you (and i) are still riding in a 12-17 yr old maxima. so why are we arguing about dreams. the people that are defending g35s are those that now own them and are happy with them. any mass produced car is going to be seen in numbers, that's just the way it works. the g is cheaper than a vette, cheaper than some bmw's and mercedes that are comparable in power. they've also been out for longer than the gto and the gto is a limited production car that is going to be discontinued after this year from what i heard. so YEAH, you're not gonna see alot more of the g. me personally i think the g looks 10x better than a gto anyday, but i wouldnt own one, too small for me, forget the 350, even smaller.

 

its ok you can borrow mine.

oh and I got something good for you to cut with the plasma cutter, thats what I forgot to tell you earlier.

 

not my cup of tea, plus i already have your car. the ve that is..............


i got your bags today too. lets install them,and get my new POS home,and build a footing this weekend need heat soon..........

 

no problem.

 

Heh, thanks for the compliment..

Your still driving Goldmember around? Shame you have to cut it.

 

goldmember hasnt seen a paved road on over 2 yrs. i'm sizeing it for a coffin as we speak.

 

If we are talking about dream cars (which someone clearly is) might as well dream bigger than a G or a GTO. M5 for life!

 

c'mon jeff...if you're going to dream, dream big.
Challenge Stradale for me.
Hey you don't see those everyday.
but i'm happy w/ the B7 A4 for now.

 

gt3 or 360 hardtop

 

5.5 gen

 

Koenigsegg CCX:

 

F- dat
gimmee a DDR

 

Hmm...

Most Likely A 4th Gen Max, or one of these beasts:



Volvo 850 T5-R 2.3 Turbocharged I5

I still don't understand why people soup up Volvos.

 

Why do people "soup up" maximas

 

3 things: 4th gen<5thgen...

5th gen<3rd gen

audi 2.2 I-5 turbo (20V)>volvo 2.3 I-5 turbo

Can't hate on the swedes, tho...that's where Koenigseggs come from.

 

Price Of 4th Gen > Price Of 5th Gen

VG Automatic With Dying Tranny < 4th Gen Maxima with VQ And 5 spd

The Volvo Also is DOHC, And Older 850's are pretty inexpensive.

If Money Wasn't an object, I probably wouldn't have any :-D

VE-5>VQ-5
and how I have my car currently setup, VG-with-5-spd-swap>VQ-5

I see what you are saying, tho...

And if you know where to look, you can pick up an Audi 200 or 1st gen S4 or S6 (S4 and S6 are the same car, all three have the 20V turbo) for precious little money...picked up my 200 for 2 grand

 

Yeah, I would love a VE-5, But finding one that isn't rusted out, or hell... even in halfway decent condition locally that I won't have to put an arm and a leg in is a hard thing to accomplish. I've thought about the Swap in mine, but my Automatic is still under warranty. I do like the 3rd Gens Body style, fit and finish, handling, and rarity compared to the 4th gen. But I don't have a lot of money to throw around so I need something dependable. If I had some cash I'd just keep the 3rd gen (Or find a fixer upper VE) And work with that.

As for the Audi, I haven't really looked too far into it, but I'm going to have to go test drive one to compare to the Volvo now

Not sure about parts cost on Volvos, but Audi (especially 20V) parts are CRAZY expensive...ex: one coil pack runs 400-500 bucks. LOVED the car, but after realizing how much it costs to maintain it, sold it a week later to a friend (read: Audi guru). He ended up wrecking it a year or 2 later, and soon after that found an identical car (same color even), so he has the perfect parts car. Little trivia fact: only 1000 20V 200's came to the states. Sorry to get going on this topic...I have a large group of offline (read: in-person) friends who are SERIOUS Audi enthusiasts...510hp S4 wagon, anyone?

 

Because it's cheap and Maximas are generally more suited toward younger folk.

 

I guess you"ve never seen a civic or an accord before?

a four door car is suited toward younger folk? yeah, the ones that have been smoking the maxima.org ganja and think that theyre god's gift to people who dont want rice burners. theyre usually a hand-me down from a parent or cheaper to insure. i dont know any 17 yr old that is going around telling his friends that he wants his first car to be a maxima.

 

yea...anyway. around xmas time im gettin rid of my 203000 mile hog and pickin up an 02/03 6-speed. besides actually getting a manual and a lot more power, im hyped for getting a car with 150000 less miles. wooooo!

 

The LS1 is definitely an incredible engine... I actually talked my friend into putting one into his 63 Nova project. But... I want to keep the Z with Nissan power. I am considering using a T56 though as those are some awesome transmissions. The gearing is relatively wide, unlike most 6-speeds.

I'd probably have to use the Cobra T56 though as the Camaro/Firebird 6th gear would be useless for me unless I was doing 100 mph. With the Q45 diff. I would be at 1500-1600 rpm at 70 mph with the tires I want. Though... the VH does make very good low end torque. Someone recently dynoed 210 wtq @ 1,200 rpm with somewhat stock VH45.

I'm still trying to decide whether I want to do a remote mount turbo setup or a standard turbo setup. If I have the room I'll probably do a standard setup but if not, I have a very cool idea for a dual scroll turbine housing to essentially make it variable. I'll do the turbine setup either way for quicker spooling and good top end but it would likely be required for the remote mount for decent spooling with the turbos I'd like to use.

Stylind wise Nissan definitely got it right the first time, except for one thing that bugs me... the rear quarters. The way the front fenders are, they look wider than the rears (and could even be wider). Z1 makes one very nice wide body kit for the rear that makes the Z look absolutely stunning. It fits the lines very well, so I'll likely be going that route. Other than that I haven't really found any good looking body pieces online other than maybe the JUN front bumper... but even then stock looks quite good.

Replace all of the suspension and such as the bushings are likely toast, grab some coilovers (Tein with the EDFC... coolness), etc. etc. and it'll be a blast.


I actually have some stuff to do to the Maxima right now as well. I need to grab a few more parts to finish it up but I'll definitely post some pictures up for you guys once I get it where I want it. I can't seem to get myself to get rid of it so I'm going to hang on to it till it blows up or something.

I still have it until my friend gets back from Iraq to pick it up, but I did finally decide to sell it. I am definitely going to miss it... that thing handles like nothing else. I don't believe the Z will ever be able to handle like the MR2 does but it'll be a very fun replacement. Maybe sometime down the road I'll grab another one but for the time being I'm going back to my Nissans.

 

there's a 91 Mister two for sale by me that needs a motor.
we'll see if it's still around monday
monday I'm picking up an eclipse though
trying to sell a non-running 97 saab 900 turbo at the moment,

I've got too much but I want the Mister two though :unsure:

 

Unfortunately, I have already arrived at the post-Max car.

the 93SE served me well for many years, but she is just starting to show her age so it was with great difficulty that i decided to move on.

got a very good deal on a 98 Subie Outback Sport 5-speed, 75k miles. At this point in life, it's good for me to have some more hauling ability. The Impreza chassis handles really, really well, and it's pretty light at only 2700lbs. of course I miss VE POWAH but the EJ22 is pretty torquey, and with the 5spd, actually feels pretty good. Havent modded yet, but i already picked up a WRX rear sway, that will go on soon, and I'm sourcing parts for a rear disc brake conversion. I guess right now what i most miss about the VE is the GO and the STOP, haha. handling wise, the stock OBS is more nimble than my max.

that said, I need to put the VE up in the Classifieds, but I don't have 15 posts yet, and can only reply.... so I'll post it here for now, haha.

White 93 5-speed. 165k miles. Grounded VTCs. Located in Mass, near Boston.

*THE GOOD*
-ACT Street Kit + Fidanza flywheel with about 15k mi on them.

-both CV axles replaced with new units from internetautomart.com in May.

-Pacesetter STS

-WSP Aluminized Y-pipe. from what I can tell, it's still in good shape after 5 years in Boston winters.

-JWT POP charger.

-ASP UDP

-Brembo blanks rotors F+R with Goodridge SS lines, MetalMasters still have plenty of bite, but are probably due soon for a change.

-Tokico Blues put on last summer.

-Generic FSTB

-Addco RSB in the trunk along with Blehmco reinforced sway mount kit, but not installed after i broke stock mounts.

-will include second set of stock SE rims with Kumho snow tires with plenty of tread left.

-will include Pacesetter cat-back

*THE BAD*

-The studs on the RF strut mount popped their welds,
any strut work will require splitting the nuts and tack welding the studs back to the mount.

-Left rear fender is starting to curl a little from the rust. undercarriage shows the surface rust you'd expect from a 13 year old New England car, but no structural rust, nothing deep.

-swapped front springs back to stock, but have not had time to swap rears back. the jacked-front looks is COOL. stock rear springs are in the trunk.

-previously mentioned RSB mounts. but Blehmco kit is included!

-interior has the wear you'd expect from a 165k mile car.

-Sumitomos on the "summer" rims are pretty much bald.

-Car failed Mass. inspection due to the bald Sumitomos, and a leak somewhere in the Bosal OEM type catback. The included Kumhos and Pacesetter catback = will pass inspection with a quick swap.

I want to ask $2000, which may be high, but I'm hoping that a Max enthusiast would see how much car they are getting, especially with all the mods. It still has plenty of life left in it, but i got the Scooby bug and had to have an Impreza wagon... too many trips to Ikea and Costco where I've driven the ex-GF's Outback Sport and driven it hard and fun, while getting yelled at. "I can drive a fun car that actually carry a crapload of stuff? Hmmmm!"
