That is awesome! Pretty cool pic. The front grille sorta looks Volvo-like, with a Max's body and nice headlights. What's everyone's thoughts on the motor setup? Not that I'm dissatisfied with the VQ by any means.

 

is that a 4-cyl s20r engine? hmmm...wonder how it drives.

In Korea, the Samsung Motor division bought the design of the previous generation Maxima to sell as their own. The catch is that the standard engine in that car is .... an SR20! So as it turns out; there are LOTS of these SR20 owners in Korea. Here is an example with a nice turbo kit. I think I am going to try and find out who makes that manifold here in Korea:

 

Doesn't that front end look a lot like a 5th gen front? It does to me. What body panels are shared? Looks like almost none, from that pic...
Pic I am referring to.

 

Go here and check it out! Look under Design for pix. I want some of those interior all wood dash pieces!! i dont like the headlights much, but the TAIL LIGHTS!!! wow sweet, i bet they fit 97-99 max perfect diamond clear rears!

Renault Auto Site for Maxima


Any Importers ??

There was some discussion on this already, the general consensus was the tails would not fit american Maximas If anbody wanted to take a chance to find out for sure I would not discourage them though. Those tails would look sweet!!!!

Here's one thread, http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=117534 , I belive there are a couple more on this subject.

 

So theoreticly,(sp?) we could do a SR20 swap! (although, why is the question that gets raised....

 

taillights!!!

 

Imagine a DET with like 400hp in a Max. Man o Man!

 

Somebody find out how much it would cost...I know a couple buddies on the org could put the money together if they wanted to test them out, that way if it doesnt work no one was out much $$$. Of course if they aren't expensive then one of us could just buy a set.

If they ended up fitting that would be a God-send!

 

Those headlights don't look too bad either...one piece headlight...hey, Greg at CustomMaxima.com, let's see a one-piece deal-io for 4th Gens!!! We've been waiting so long for those projector lights...grrrr.

There are prices in this thread -- http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=117534

$20 each for inners and $25 each for outers, or $90 for the complete set. If you only wanted to order one side for test fitting it would only cost $45 for both or $25 for just the outer. Of course shipping from Korea could be expensive, anyone have any idea how much?

 

WOW - i never knew korean engineers could make such a great looking car (i dont mean to be racist or anythiing like that........just think kia and hyundai)
