wondering how many people have 120000 miles or over on their automatic maxima - are you guys still modding your car or do u feel its just a waste? currently i have 130000

 

read the fine print...



this was in november(?)...now it's 174600+; i be drivin', mayne.

 

My 95 Auto GLE is about to turn 147k. The outer joints on both CV axles are shot, but other than that no problems. I plan to replace the axles when I replace the struts and springs, in a month or two.

I have 142,000. I just put on my y-pipe a few weeks ago, no problems! (knock on wood) The only think i've replace are both CV boots.

 

I have 143,000 miles and i have redone the suspension, replaced CV boots and I am still modding. Maximas last a very very very long time.

 

176,000 and counting. Only thing I relaced was the cv axles, knock sensor (previous owner used regular), and suspension (lowering). These cars last forever.

 

161k and counting. I've replaced cv boots, starter, KS, radiator, camshaft and crank sensors, right and left O2 sensors, lowered with MAxspeed springs with AGX, y-pipe, and K&N cone filter. Runs hella hard and smooth.

 

Ive have over 160,000 and just started modding my car.

 

155k planning to get a y-pipe soon.
Problem History - Starter, CV Boots, 02 Sensor, Evap Control Volume, Knock Sensor, Radiator blew (i rear ended someone), and A/C Compressor. I'm thinking there's more but never got em checked out.

 

My neighbor's 95 is at 151k..so far just a knock sensor replacement.

 

I dont mod my maximas, but i've got about 220K on the 95.
Replaced starter
Replaced alternator
Replaced cv axles

Thats about it.

 

133K and still strong !!!!
original tranny

125K, drop resisted and constantly manually downshifted.

 

144,378 miles, still modding (Y-pipes, CAI, UDP,) soon to get VB mod, ECU upgrade, and new sensors. I wont stop until I'm done with this car. Oh until the tranny gives, then I'll just go 5spd.

 

142,799 and still going.........Lata! ~ Jeremiah

 

I've got 155000miles on mine and the only thing to need repairing was the starter motor in November, everything else is original I do plan on doing some modding later on, hopefully later this year if things turn out well

 

meeee!

6789

 

185k of hard miles here

I'm going drag racing tomorrow...

 

220,000 miles starter replaced (lifetime autozone), tokico blues (feels slightly better than stock), and replaced the cv joints, have 2000 stock rims on my 1995 gle with all the packages except fog lights and no leather. Converted front badging to a 1997, it's very easy but still have a gap at the bottom.

Future mods will be y-pipe, hacked intake, and maybe a carbon fiber hood if I can find one cheap.

Still hate the color of my car, maroon...would rather dark blue, white, silver, or grey.

Only problem I am having now is programming the keyless entry.

 

126k+ bone stock. Summer mods are yet to come.....

 

I had 139,000 on my 96 last july, but then I ran it into a wall. If I still had it I'd be around 150,000 or better

 

132k

Starter was squealing when it was cold... Took it apart, then cleaned and regreased it with synthetic Mobil 1 grease. (around 2 years ago)

Purge valve had problems. Took it apart, cleaned and lubed it. No problem. (around 2 years ago)

Oxygen sensor threw a code. Took it off, sprayed it down as well as I could with carb cleaner... Reinstalled it, and it works fine. (around 2 years ago)

Heater resistor went out. (only speed that worked was high) Replaced about 6 months ago.

Right front wheel bearing and hub started making a horrible racket. The bearing started spinning on the hub. I replaced it about 4 months ago. No more problems.

I've gone through two sets of hood props. The second set was replaced under warranty.

That's everything.

 

I have 145K on mine. I got the car with about 135K on it and I have since then added a Ypipe and Intake. I think the car thanks me more and more everyday.

 

160000 on my 96 going stronger than ever before

 

132,000 and still KICKIN!!!!!

 

Got it at 147,000 and started modding.

Bout to hit 150,000 and still modding.

 

how did u fix Evap Control Volume

 

you have tokico blues and you say their slightly better than stock - r u on lowered springs?

 

127+ stock motor and tranny

 

136,660 as of today...

Next Mod: Oil Change next week... =)

 

120,300 on a 96gle
replaced starter, alternator, knock sensor, coolant temp sensor, 2 o2 sensors and brakes (pads, rotors, calipars) within last 10k miles
needs struts right now
all on original tranny too

 

You can't have a GLE without leather or with foglights. You might wanna check the VIN buddy cause my sources say you have a GXE. So go back to whoever you bought it from and get your money back.

Armelius, Oil changes aren't mods but its good that your keeping up to date with maintenance. Without maintenance modding is pointless.

 

162,000miles. New struts and shocks and one coil pack. Another is going bad, plus there is a huge hole in my mufflers. Everthing else is original. Runs like a dream.

No mods, no time or money for them. (Married with kids sucks, at times).

 

235,000 and still going on mods, Havent had to replace anything just maintence and mods.

 

Yeah, I meant GXE. What are you talking about oil changes being mods?

To the other person who asked the Tokico blues are just like stock only slightly better. No not lowered, not really interested in the lowered look. Sometimes I load up my car and a lowered car won't handle the weight.

Forgot I replaced rotor and brake caliper.

 

124K and still going strong

 

187200 Kilometres (116064 miles) on mine....so, approaching 120k.

Problem/Repair History: CV-Joints, Starter, Stabilizer links, Replaced 1 Coil, Replaced 1 Injector, Brakes and Rotors, Shift Lock Solenoid, Drivers side window motor.

Current unresolved issues: Air Bag Computer, Bad thermostat, Cylinder 5 misfire.

....and I baby her. Really, I do.

No mods. I'm too poor from all the other repairs...;-)
For me, personally, mods are a waste of time. But that is a matter of preference, budget, etc. With a little money and TLC, any Maxima can be worth the time and money to fix up real nice'n prettylike.

 

started modding at 100k
still modding at 135k

orginial motor and tranny
replaced both cv joints
replaced starter
and still kicking

 

135,000 on my 95. Its on its 3rd transmission though. First just blew up, 2nd just died on my with a busted tourqe conv. hopefully this 3rd on is the charm. Think about 3 or 4 axles have been replaced. KS, 2 front O2 sensors, all rotors, rear brake calipers, cranks shaft pulley, and belt tensioner.

 

130K+ on my ride (210K Kms).

still modding...next up:
A32 headlights to install
DVD deck to install
"Dynamat" car
LED tails/turns

I've replaced a bunch of stuff...most recently, rotors/pads/lines
check website for list of mods

AND I'm still on my original tranny!
