Cool. Just expect your axles to go soon. Gr2 and S tech's don't go well together.

 

Congrats! It looks really clean! I don't think Berk makes an intake for the 4th Gen. Just tint and you're set!

 

Well whatever it is. Thats what the kid told me it was. I ust got rid of my '03, i'm not really up on the 4th gen products yet.

 

I had GR2's n S-techs on my '03 n my girl has that set-up on her '00 too. We have no problems. 4th gens are different though. Just a question why would that make my axels go bad?

 

Well the drop is a little to much for the gr2 since all they are is just a factory replacement shock, they aren't meant for being used to lower the car. It puts alot of strain on the axles, and the s-techs are a fairly big drop.

Also check out if you have any codes, you might not have a CEL but you can still have ghost codes. Just letting you know since your not to familiar with the 4th gen.

 

Oh so that 5th gen ist urs? whyd you get rid of the 03?

 

looks good, you got a killer deal!

 

ya u got a great deal, my wheels are for sale if u want to check them out, they would look so f'in good on that car, ill work with the price, http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=497809

 

They aren't a factory replacement. They are definitely stiffer than OEM.
Shocks have nothing to do with how low a car is. Furthermore, GR-2's are fine for mild drops. But s-tech's are definitely a bit much for the GR-2's to handle.

 

To the OP, congrats. Looks nice.

 

looks good............. do you have any immediate plans for her?

 

sweet. clean ride, i wish i could get a new car, wait no i don't.

 

Just rims, tint, & alarm for now. Have a couple big things going on now, bought the ring n ****, which answers this question:

 

Iono. i had that set-up on my '03 for two years n never had a problem n I know at least 4 others that have that se-up with no issues too.

 

The car won't fall apart with that setup. I think you're misinterpreting my point. It's just not optimal. I'd go with AGX's or (even better) Illuminas if i went with s-tech's.

 

Gotcha, thanx for the advise. I was thinking of going with K-Sports. what do u guys think of them?

 

nice car you got agood deal on it now clean it punkass

 

those dont look like the oem leather seats

did the previous owner have them done or something?

 

looks to be a leather swap? door panels aren't that of a 4th gen with leather. and yeah they don't look like original leather at all.

 

Holy crap. That is one clean 4th gen. for 3800 dollars thats a freaking steal to me. Very nice pick up man

 

I was thinking the leather was done too cause i thought the door inserts usually have the slight pleats in them right? might have been a dealer installed thing back in 97??

 

I did clean it what r u talkin bout? It might need a good full detail but its clean.

 

either he got leather seats off another max or got his cloth seats wrapped in leather.

from the color of the seats its looks to be a really light ivory beige. the maxima tan seats are darker, or it might just be the pics.

 

no there were some maximas that came with gray colored interiors which is pretty rare.

to the op nice car.

 

Those def do not look like the original seats, they've been redone at some point. Door panel inserts are a def give away too, the factory leather ones have the pleats in them and dont look like that.

 

But the OEM seats have a "+" seam in the seat base right. mine only have a T seam.

 

Eh. if the seats were redone they were redone the right way. Aside from the doors it all looks like OEM aside from the missing seam in the front part of the seat.

 

Not saying they are bad at all, the seats look really good from the pics, I just dont like the leather on the door panel being so smooth, kind of looks bland that way, but thats just IMO. Good find otherwise, too bad its not 5spd though.

*There's also no pocket on the back of the passenger seat, which the originals would have had with leather. Or at least both of mine with leather have a pocket there.

 

Thanks, I got into a bad Motorcycle accident n did nerve damage in my right arm so 5 speed is not an option for me right now. thats why i chose an auto. I might end up getting the doors done the right way or finding a nice set of OEM doors eventually, cause it looks kinda plain to me too.

 

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you'll get better with time and are able to use your arm better! Good luck with the door panels.

 

wow the seats look like their in pristine condition...
sucks to see that its an auto...=/

 

DE DEE DE. look at post number 31. might suck if you had bought it.

 

Did some lil mods over the weekend,

First was tint, got done Fri. :






Then Saturday, Oleg and I installed my front strut bar.:





MORE TO COME, STAY TUNED!!

 

Picked up the new rims last night, put em on today.

car looks really good man! I would want to go lower...

 

wow!! looking good! one ?, where did u buy tht FSTB from and how much?

 

Car looks good man. That steering wheel needs something!! Interior looks fantastic tho. I love the color match. I agree with the FSTB. I like that style. Where did it come from?
