Well technically its not new... but I lost my original 95 pearl white auto in a flash flood, and the insurance, claimed it a total loss... I dont blame them... this is what they saw inside:

Ok stripped interior (was in the process of do a complete tear down of the car, and detail the crap out of everything; carpet, panels, seats, etc... ) but then it rained... ok imagine that with pools of water on the floor... that will give you an idea of what they saw...




Well anyhow... after I returned my rental (pontiac G6, it wasnt all that great) I went in search of a new car... and set my eyes on this... Turns out my girl friend got me the car as a surprise... as I raised some funds to get it.... so here it is..

 

and this is what I got...





the car has a few dings and scratches... but I dont plan whatso ever on fixing them right now... I got some small issues that need to be addressed; radiator leak, and a clacking sound.... but once fixed... I will be doing a full exhaust setup... intake... flywheel, suspension setup, and interior work.. I plan to keep the car stock (sleeper) exterior wise for now.. until I have everything setup inside and motor wise... then I'll work on the outside...

For sure thou.. I'll be swapping the gold burgers for silver and I'll be shaving the "MAXIMA" off....no clear corners(i take it back.. I add the clear corners I had around), no red/clears.. for now. I'll just be gathering everything up one by one.. until i have it all, and just like that. over night it will be a totally new car...

 

Nice upgrade! If that's peeling tint on the rear window, removing it should be your first priority. Otherwise it looks like a great ride.

 

Nice Car... And Good Luck With all The Mods

 

Definite upgrade if you ask me. GL

 

yeah the tints another thing that i'll be replacing ASAP, right now Im searching for a good quality aluminum radiator... but yeah its gonna be a work in progress.... i want to do the 97conversion soo bad...

 

Wow! Great girlfriend and car. Shes' a keeper hahaha.

 

yeah marry her, i dotn get one thing tho, why the new 95 has gold emblems instead of silver ?

as far as i knew only the 99 SE ( or SE-L ) had gold emblems

 

prob a dealer added option.

 

yeah she is a keeper.... but she doesnt like me to speed... so its kinda like "you get me a 5spd, knowning what I'm gonna do with it... and yet you dont want me to speed?" anyhow.... my white 95 se had gold emblems also... anybody know where I can find brand new emblems ???

keep the gold it looks better, but if u want silver go to the dealer

i am thinking of swapping my grill and will have a silver one for sale, but its a 97

 

Thanks... i would do the 97 grille, but I'm really feeling the whole 95-96 grill with 97 bumper... i think its looks soo much better IMO.



just so you can see what i'm talking about

Apparently, what you don't know could fill wikipedia.


Congrats on the new ride.

 

nice nice grea selectiond! congrats good luck modding!

 

I know your not into the exterior mods, but your car seems like a perfect candidate for a 97-99 bumper and trunk swap. Would just finish the car off looking stock and much nicer.

 

OOOOOHHHHHH!

Sorry to hear about your other Maxima!!!

Well, congradulations on the new one! That is pretty cool that she was able to help you and get you another one!

 

Congrats on the new one man! yeah get that tint taken care of ASAP along with the other problems...

 

oh definately on the 97 conversion...i agree to that... it does make the car look newer...as far as the trunk... ummmm... if I could find a local junkyard with a mint condition, rear trunk with spoiler... i'd do it... why not... 97's have better tail light options than 95 and 96's.

 

nice... was your old max 5spd also?

 

nah it was auto

 

Congrats on the new Maxima, do you love having a 5spd?

 

I love it.... do some burnouts... chirping second... of course its not the best thign for the car... but man its soo much faster than the auto.... big difference... the fact that its black interior.. (no more lookin to swap tan for black) and leather.... its fun... I recommend it to anyone...

 

owned on the .org

 

You're girlfriend suprised you with a 5-speed maxima!!!!!!!! Are you ****ing kidding me? My girlfreind bought me some ****ing gum the other day, gum, that's right, gum!

 

if she didn't buy it for you, shes not a keeper.lol

 

LOL... yeah she got it... for me... she new i was looking for car, and saw how excited i got about the 5spd and the price..i was a tad bit on the broke side... and well my g/f doesnt really spend much of her money and just saves it.. so she was kinda enough to hook me up... Thank goodness for her... oh and she's a looker too... hahahahahahah

Great upgrade!

 

mod it now, damn shes a very nice girlfriend, shes a keeper

 

Nice I just got a 96 5speed also. I love it, its so much more comfortable than my mustang.
