I was just wondering, thought this would be an interesting poll. I'm wondering how much of your car is still factory, still that same 8-12 year old parts. I know I've had to replace bumpers, retainers, exhaust, headlights just from use and accidents and I know some of you have had to replace engines and such. I'd say overall my car is a good 80% still factory.

 

All of it.

 

just got an all stock 141k, 96 GLE in near mint condition for 3500 bux. all records.

 

I can't remember what stock is! lol

 

As of now but, soon or later it won't be.

 

I bet your gas tank is stock.

I'm definitely in the 90-100 range. Minus the Ksports, a few interior and exterior cosmetic mods, I'm stock.

 

o crap !!

ebay front bumper
sarona rear bumper
a32 cefiro radiator
5th upper intake manifold, lower manifold, injectors, fuel rail
1996 interior when its in the car
300zx fuel filter
no radio
no speakers
heaps of modification changes, example exhaust, intake, sts

i dont know what i drive ? but its a nissan !!!!

 

every thing is stock on mine exept the y-pipe which has done wonders on my 97 max it takes off very well now

 

im 83% stock

thats including the outside as well

motor wise less than 75% stock

 

30% original? It has the same engine, tranny, and doors, but thats about it.

 

id say about 90% just Konis on H&Rs and I guess the radio since its out of a 98 do ceramic brakes pads count or just fall under maintenance

 

A very difficult question! How can one respond unless given a specific list.

 

is there a formula for this we can use to come up with the %? stock? i get chills when i see stock pics of my car.

 

17.3799999999999999%....exactly.

 

Hard to answer. What do you mean by stock? I mean these cars are 10+ years old, parts have been replaced. ALOT of parts. Brakes, exhaust, trannys, sensors, filters, cosmetic replacements, etc... you name it.

Everything I've replaced has been with OEM spec parts. Though only about 1% of those has been directly from Nissan.

Does that make me 100% stock? Or minus all the parts I've replaced? (80+%)?

 

I recently put an aluminum flywheel on my 02 max 6spd. Later found out the factory one was dual mass, and the new may cause chattttterrrrrr. Well it definitly does! I also got a nasty noise when i start the car, dont know if i have to shim the starter? Does anyone know what that noise could be?

 

I should have left the word stock out of this, I mean factory. Even if you replaced with OEM parts, still count them out. I'm just looking to see how some of these maxima's are holding up

 

modifications
struts/springs-k sports
intake tubing- cai
new tails
new deck,
new speakers,
new lights,
new rims/wheels
new head visors-tvs
new pedals
new matts
new y pipe
front strut bar
no muffler:O
synth oil

maintenance/fix
door panel peices
new shift boots
brake pads
fuel filter
spark plugs
head lights
battery ( po)


probably more im just not thinking of so id say 60%( and thats just since i bought it 8 months ago)

 

.. actually aside for the springs/shocks/alpine headunit/lip kit.... everything is OEM NISSAN... headlights/wheels/navigation.. and all replacement parts are OEM never those "nappa brands" just becasuse i want her to have that OEM feel.

 

Hmmm, Ive replaced my hood, trunk, front seats, rear seats, the interior carpet, swapped motor and tranny, tails, headlights, suspensions, brakes, spoiler, swapped out door handles and the window trim, even changed the the color of paint so not much is left on the car that was on it when I bought it.

 

Nearly 100%.. new plugs, filter, oil... thats about it...

 

what is a NEW DECK ??

 

jus wheels, and tint, even tho its mirror, not my doing...debadged. so what is that 80% stock? working on interior, everything red stitched is my goal

 

Please explain what's your % s mean? Is there any formulas or things to consider? It would've been better if you have provided the things that qualified for the percentages on your poll

 

It would be easier to tell you all I got was a cone filter.

I do plan on lowering the car, getting 17" wheels and a front lip.

 

100% stock here with a 98 GLE. Car runs fine aside from needing an O2 sensor. My mother bought it new so I know its history accurately. Has been VERY reliable so far with ~138K miles...only neede reg maintenance like fluids, brakes, and struts... nothing drivetrain wise.

 

My '98 SE 5 spd is totally stock. Its an all around great car. Lately I've been getting the urge to remove some of the space between the wheels and the body. I've heard you don't want to lower more than about an inch and a half. Next I've seen some pics with 17" Infinity G-35 wheels that looked pretty good on the Max. Who knows what the future holds, perhaps a 128K mile makeover. Rich

 

I'm at about 70% stock. It'll change tho!

 

I'm gonna have to say about 69.69%

 

I'll probably about 40% stock.

Engine and tranny wise, I'm 0% stock. SC'd new DE-K and VLSD 5-spd.

 

Interior carpets and seats are still stock.
My radio is a stock 99 HU (for now)
Trunk lid is a stock from a 97.
some of my radiator hoses are stock

Front and Rear bumper is still stock.

Engine harness is still ( has stock 2002 injector clips soldered on).
ECU is still stock (tapped by a VAFCII but still stock)

 

New Audio Head-unit.

 

Idk I didn't explain the %'s, didn't think I had to. Just envision your car, nobody should really drop below like 15-20%, a cars frame takes up an awful lot of a car.

 

MEVI off a JDM Cefiro, blinding engine covers, RSTB+FSTB, HAI, 300ZX Fuel Filter, Silicon Radiator Hoses, Emanage Blue - all the rest stock

 

tinted, rims, but inside is pretty stok

 

all of it ... hehehe

 

Almost 90% stock
