*NOOBIES* The "I am new here,but have a question" thread..(post your questions here)
Thanks I just read that they come with the exedy clutch kits so I won't need to purchase one seperately, since i need the clutch kit too. Can somebody elaborate on what is in figure 6 on here aside from the clutch cylinder? Thanks. I gotta pull those parts next weekend.

exedy clutch kit comes with all of this (EXCEPT the flywheel.. that was separate):

also remember to get the "gussets".. the things the lower 6 tranny bolt holes go through into the tranny

im back guys with yet another question... its about wheels this timeim thinking 19"s but ive seen everybody with 18"s is it because the 19"s rub and have less tire or is it because the 18"s give u more tire space...?
it might be more a matter of the wheel width, and the offset. 7" width with a 35 offset will fit beautifully.. but i don't think you'll find alot of 19x7's... it might also have to do with using tires that are slightly under-width (ie stretching) which makes the shoulder/treadpatch a little bit narrower than the rim itself, meaning that you can run a wider rim than you could if you ran the 'proper' width tire. For example i have 225mm on 7" width.. stretching would be 205mm on a 7" to keep the same rims, or an 8" rim if i wanted to keep my tires. But there are risks associated with stretching.. so it's best if you can use width and offset to take care of the majority of the rubbing, rather than using a narrower tire.
Caped, thanks for the pics that really clears it up. Looks like i gotta pull that block and the slave cylinder (it is attached to it, right?). Is that a fidanza flywheel in the picture? I am looking at the oem replacement exedy clutch kits (about 150) but the flywheel is real expensive (300+)? And do you have any pics of the gussets? Thanks again for all your help,
Mike

the flywheel in the pic was an OEM one. I have a fidanza you can buy for $225 tho if you want it. They are like $350 new.
gussets are bolted onto the engine just above the oilpan and reach down and rap around the driver side of the oipan, where the tranny bolts in at the bottom. you also need those spacer plates. the gussets are 30429 and 30429M
Caped kinda hit around the answer; there isnt enough rubber. if your max is a daily driver, then 19s (even 18s) are too big for a decent ride. too little sidewall to absorb the bumps. I think that is why there are so few maximas with 18s, and 19s. technically, I think a 20 could fit (OD of tire is about 25.5 or so, too lazy to google atm), but the ride would be so harsh, you would get back problems driving it (or maybe the harsh vibrations would act as a massage?
)
)
fawk a look, if I have to drive it every day, for an average of an hour of my time, I don't want to put a friggin tire/wheel combo on it that is going to make that hour more miserable than a trip to the doctor for a rectal exam (at least, one can imagine it would be that bad)
hey guys, i have my 92 GXE in MINT condition for sale in NJ 08852. but i cant post it, would someone please post it for me in the forsale section?

as for the hood light, there isn't one. if you want to add one, you will just have to figure out a good place to mount something, with a glare shield on it to direct the light down rather than out.

* Size: 19 X 8-1/2J
* Material: Aluminum
* Offset: 43 mm
* Tire Size: 225/45WR19
Rear:
* Weight: xx lbs
* Size: 19 X 9J
* Material: Aluminum

Rear:
* Weight: xx lbs
* Size: 19 X 9J
* Material: Aluminum
* Offset: 45 mm
* Tire Size: 245/40WR19

edit: after re-looking at the sizes, I am pretty sure that no matter what tire you put on there, with whatever spacers, they are still too big for the car. not 100% but still sure.
PROBLEM: My car happens to be leaking antifreeze from the left side of my engine near the alt. and its getting over the belts and eveything on that side but i cant ever see where its coming from because its always over evething when i go to look could be be the water pump?
is there a 2 door conversion for the 4dr
Hi id like to introduce myself i am a former non car guy i found cars after i had kids they are so much fun and hurtling down the road at 150 plus is freaking amazing had i known how much potential was in a maxima i wouldn't have been so much of a honda ***** my question is does anyone have any information on a 2door conversion i have one pic i found somewhere of it i really want to see what it would look like and all the purist sorry i just found it irrestable with 2 doors it's like a skyline/montecarlo looks wise perfect for custom bodykits oh i do that too thanks guys let me know
