Finally get to post my Maxima. I bought it at 125,000 miles for $3400.

All black leather interior with a 5 speed manual. I have only put a cold air in it and tinted some lights.

Things had to replace
-clutch
-fuel regulator
-o2 sensor

Things I'm doing this week
-Get new front fenders (lots of rust)
-new smoked blinker lights
-Tint windows

 

..did you need any help?

Congrats on your purchase but this goes in the Members rides sections.

 

Help on what exactly? The clutch I had my bros friend put in for $100 bucks and I did everything else myself.

Well can one of the mods move this to the members ride section thanks

 

Any advice on what do in the future to my Maxima is greatly appeiciated

 

lower it

 

nice clean one. I like those rims. I want a set like that for my SE!

 

Yeah I'm going to be getting the ksport coilovers. I hate the response on this suspension, it leans so much on turns

 

you're battling rust as well! sucks, at least it's on your fenders, my passenger side door has a small hole, don't know what to do with it! looks nice otherwise

 

Look at my last pic, you can see the little rust coming in on the front passenger door. Is that where your rust spot is?
Last owner did a crappy job trying to fix it.

 

the spot is by the drain hole lower left corner, not sure how it rusted through though. i think the only solution is to get a door from a junkyard and have it repainted
also not sure about your rear wheel wells but mine are rusting as well, another spot to check!

 

Looks like you need another antenna too. I don't see a satellite antenna (unless it's inside, or you just don't have sat radio yet).

 

Looks like a good starting point, I'd lower it, clean up the rusty spots, hard to tell with the snow dirt on it ...

 

Thats MN for yea. I will be getting better before/after pics after I work on my car.

 

looks nice that about how far i got. i want to lower my maxima and get the greddy SP2

 

Congrats on the pickup and welcome to the boards.

 

was that a ride height joke....

but seriously go pick up a new set of fenders from the web, cost me 200 bucks for brand new fenders to be painted

 

good starting point. Welcome

 

I've already ordered fenders off ebay. I have the driver side right now and the other one is coming in a couple of days. Got them from ebay $120 for both.
Still looking on how much it is going to cost to paint them though.

 

slide them over to maco, i wouldn't trust them to paint a whole car but they did a very nice job on my fenders. of course "black" isnt hard to match color.

This forum is for if you have issues or need help. I know you're new, welcome .... but please only post issues or problems here - AFTER you search!

 

Tried calling this local place by me and they want around $500 for just painting the fenders. Thats terrible.

Heres my crappy fenders.

Driver side


Passenger side

 

Disagree, it's as easy to mess up as any other color IMO.

Welcome to the 99 Maxima club, we are the elite

 

i saw a 99 crimson red maxima today for sale in a lot, i almost bought it but then i realized, i dont need 2 money holes. 4000$
they got my trunk spot on also, i must of had a good guy

Great looking stock rims btw.

 

Some days I just wanna sell my car for 4.5k and buy a car for under 3k and turn it into a monster...

Then I look at my car and smack myself for even thinking of parting with her.

 

Nice starting point...and welcome to the org

 

congratz

 

Thought it would be funny to add this. My first car i was driving before the Maxima. Think it was an upgrade?

 

a tricycle would have been an update...lol jk, nice man how much did you pay for it, i just bought my maxima last sunday hehe

 

a little too overpriced for the rust and things you had to replace but congrats... turn that bad boy from rust to the beast on the side of the coast

 

Naw. 98 >> 99

 

drop the car and get a better looking exhaust lol.. i personally can't stand seeing those tiny little poles stickin out the back of a car.

and how come i see a lot of people complain about rust on their cars? i've seen people post about their passenger side bottom havin holes in it.. i checked my car out and i only have minor rust spots..

where should i look for rust?

 

rust sucks..i'll get some pics of where i have rust on both front doors. also in the rear wheel wells. its bad and unfortunately i'm pretty broke so i doubt i'll be able to fix it soon...

 

my financial situation ain't too bright either but i manage to keep gas in the car.. a jobless college student at the moment :/
we need to find a way to ghetto rig the rust spots.. i'm gonna look around for a cheapfix for that.

i also gotta change my axles.. or just one. speaking of which, how exactly do i know which ones broken? i know for a fact one of them is clanking, but don't know how to tell. i haven't looked under the car yet either though, so it might be an obvious thing to spot, dunno.

 

well typically from what i hear axles make a "clicking sound." it would be easy to know which is bad if the boot was torn. clanking could be your sway bar endlinks (just shot in the dark).

im starting college in the fall myself...can't wait

 

i recently replaced one of my sway bar links.. it popped out on me so i know what it looks like, i'm positive it's my axel making the noise, just don't know which side.

college kicks ***, it's my 3rd semester now.

 

The beginning post mentioned the O2 sensor. How was that to replace. I need to do it on my 2000 se.

 

First off ... welcome! to the .Org

Second, wrong forum, this is 4th gen.

Third, oxy sens is E A S Y ... easy to replace.

Forth, since it's your first post, please use the 'search' section at the top of any of the pages. Very handy, just make sure you set it to 'Relevance' at the bottom.

Have a good day!

 

i love that car, it was one of my first cars to drive, mine was gray though roomy as hell for a 2 door.

 

nice aAck!

 

I got the new blinker lens. Not the best pics, but who cares. I also took off the plastic piece above the sunroof. Moved my license plate down.
I should be putting on 35% tint on this week.
Still trying to figure who can paint my fenders, but I might have a cousin that could do it.

Of course I get a car wash and the dam cat a day later felt like walking on the hood. You can see how pointless car washes are in the winter, it looks really dirty already.
