Do the 3rd gens have any rare sought after parts from the japanese or european markets? Ive heard "rumors" of a VQ powered 94 maxima. Just curious what parts are out there.

 

vq's were not out in 94. You can put one in though....

 

UK corners, UK lights (use better bulbs but are pointed the wrong way), UK hazard switch (blinks along with the lights), NZ fold down rear seat (not sure where the fold down seats originated from but NZ is the only ones I have seen with it), Canadian non motorized seat belts. Thats the only stuff I can think of and non of its performance oriented.

 

Don't forget the UK grill...although I personally don't like it.

 

The production date of the first 4th gens was in the spring of 1994 iirc..But they were for the "1995" year...

For instance,my cars manufacturing date was 11/93,but it was sold as a 1994 model...

 

Didn't some UK's have wipers on their headlights?

 

i understand the production dates. A friend of mines uncle worked for nissan in the early to mid 90's and swore they had vq powered 3rd gens in canada......o well must just be a rumor. Any power folding mirrors for 3rd gens? Hondas seem to have so much more as far as jdm edm goodies

 

Then go buy a honda..

 

Yes, there are plenty of Honda parts out there...

 

I had a honda b4 i got my altima and maxima.

 

Read post #3 and #4...Pretty much it for euro stuff on these cars..

Also..."JDM" means squat for the 3rd gen maxima,there is nothing out there...

 

yeah but its in the bumper not on the headlight itself.

 

you could swap the entire front end over to the A31 cefiro, the fenders, hood, grille, headlights, front bumper. then it'll be "JDM" but i think thats more HONDA-ey. but thats just me

 

It's all been discussed...WAY too much involved for it to be practical...

 

As a Canadian in good standing, and of relatively sound mind, your friend's Uncle needs to lay off the wacky tobacky. No VQ powered 3rd gens here ever.
There was however, the SR20 Turbo 3rd gen Maxima, which was offered with an optional ice maker.

I kid. I kid.

 

Bah, who needs practical? The cefiro conversion look with some ddep dish rims = Sexy.

 

No VQs, but Canada did get the awesome "CDM" manual seatbelts.

If you want to be really crazy, the 3rd gens from Japan are RHD. I guess you could "swap" the dash and stuff. I think they had some different trim markings on the Australian or New Zealand models. I thought someone on here years ago had a different "model" of 3rd gen instead of the SE or GXE. I can't remember exactly.

Otherwise, everything has been covered that I can recall.

 

canadian Brougham model

FWIW I like my motorized belts.

 

.......correct me if im wrong.... but i was under the impression there was no JDM variant of the maxima.

 

Where do you think the JDM VE engines come from?

 

Truthfully,i have never seen any real proof of where the so called "jdm" engines really come from...

 

lmao..........

 

So,you have proof that nissan jdm engines/parts actually come from japan?

Or is your lawyer looking over the documents atm?

 

Very subtle, but JDM and EDM Maximas have H4 headlights in their stock headlight housings.


US/Canadian Maximas use 9004 bulbs which suck big time. At least the 9007 conversion is possible.

 

yeah I mentioned that...only problem is they are pointed for RHD vehicles...not the best for LHD countries.

 

Though rare, there are some LHD European Maxima. There was this guy that used to frequent this forum from a Scandanavian country years back, but can't rememeber his name....


On JDM models, there's a shift position indicator PRND2L on the gauge face with the FUEL/TEMP gauges.

 

Come on fella's you don't remember about the JDM Maxima that came with the 10 foot wing, hardcore body kit that almost scrapes on the ground and has factory NOS....two tanks even...

 

don't forget the integrated rear fog lights in the rear bumper

 

I have the Euro hazard switch, it gives me 5 extra HP.

 

dont forget EDM also stands for

Electronic Dance Music
