good to go

Thanks guys, sounds like I should be good to go.

I saw a guy at the gas station who came up and was asking me about my car. He said he's owned several maximas. The car he was in was a '98 max with 185K miles. He said the one before that had 390K miles on it. Amazing! He was a traveling sales man.

154,000, and the miles keep clicking off faster and faster!

Stock engine, tranny, even the battery. And if you don't believe me, ask JonnyMax or Czar, or Mtrai760

Woo hoo

Oh, my!

I'm closing in on 140K. (I'm guessing that I have more than that since I've been having speedo issues since I bought my Max in June of this year - it had about 127K on it then.

My Max has been taking a breather for the last couple of weeks because of transmission issues. We'll see where I'm at around Christmastime. Bet it'll be close to 160K by then, as long as nothing else breaks (knock on wood!)

Re: 225,114.9

I have 19700 on my Transmission amd it still runs fine. I blew the engine at 183000. That really sucked. But I put a 50,000 JDM engine in it 2 summers ago, so it has about 65,000 miles on it and it runs strong it is pretty fast too for a VG(LOL). My mom is driving it this week because Im driving the 95 Interga this week at school.

Nothing really

It is basically the same engine but it was never used over here in the US until I put in my 89 GXE. I feel it is a little quicker because it has not been broken in yet. I try to be nice to it because I love my Maxima ans wait to keep it for awhile so I dont speed that much. I have hit 120mph in it once since the new engine. I was like holy crap. I am putting a intake on it soon and maybe a exhaust if I dont get to keep the Interga because it is too small for my mom and it is a 5spd.

original engine?

You brought up an interesting point..

How can you find out if your car has the original engine or transmission?

Turned 253,000 miles yesterday morning. Oil/filter changed every 5,000 miles, timing belt every 60K. I've changed plugs, cap, and rotor exactly twice. No engine problems. Still idles smooth and runs well. Doesn't use oil, but gets it dirty a little quicker than it used to. Great engine!
