uppet: i mean, is color all that important to you??? that car looked clean and was respectible lookin. did you not read any of the responses to this thread?? good luck i guess...
Should of just painted it black interior is already like black. That was a nice Max though!!HOOKED ON PHONICS DID NOT WORK FOR YOU GUYS!!!
Let me refresh you AGAIN.
96 White Maxima = NOT WHAT I WANT...
97-99 BLACK Maxima = WHAT I WANT!!!
If you would have read above you would see that PAINTING it Black would cost about $5000.00! Instead of spending $5000 on that, I SOLD IT FOR $6,250 and bought a 1997 SE Black with Black Leather, Heated Seats, Climate Control, Bose Stereo, ABS, and it has a Driver Airbag for $2,600.00. The white one had NONE of these options and I wanted all of them, that would have cost a fortune.
I already love the 97 better AND I HAVE AN EXTRA $3,650 CASH IN MY POCKET

THANK YOU!!!!
I will do my best not to copy your Color Scheme... I really like how those wheels look on a Black car. I am considering powder coating some newer maxima or 350z wheels RED... I have not made up my mind yet.
BTW: I bought a 97 SE Manual with all the bells and whistles for $2,600 in VERY good condition. Thanks for the support!
My NEW BABY... Mods soon to come!!!

Thanks... Yes, this is what I will be driving to the meet. Hopefully by then I will have her dropped and have a few other mods so I can at least take some pics of this one along side of several others. I want her to be somewhat presentable. She has 180k but the previous owner took very good care of her. He bought her 10 years ago with 50k on her and had all maintenance done at the Stealership. The VLSD tranny was rebuilt less than a year ago, motor purrs like a kitten, and the Leather is in Great condition! I am VERY PLEASED with her so far. I will likely do a 3.5 conversion with the extra money, but I haven't decided yet. I will try to tear this motor up first.

VLSD? If its the stock tranny I dont think it would have vlsd because it wasnt an option in the US correct me if im wrong. VLSD's came on the I30 5spd which are very rare to find.

Nice man always loved the 97-99 SE especially black. Your 96 was cleannn man, except for that front end. When looking at maximas mileage is usually just a number especially for the MT tranny.

Hmmm??? I could be wrong, but I think the 97-99 SE came with it. If you call the parts store for transmission gaskets, they ask if has limited slip or not. I hope it has it... I can tell you when I pop the clutch, both tires spin... Unlike a GXE I used to own (it was a one tire fire)...
Can anyone verify this???

My wife is already wanting to put it into savings...
We may put some into savings but a good chunk will go into this Black Beauty. And yes, that is a lot of miles, but overall I like this Black one better... I can't explain it other than I REALLY wanted a Black on Black. But if I decide to put in a 3.5 and 6 speed, the mileage really won't matter cause the car itself was well taken car of...

HAHAHAHAHA, ONCE AGAIN, YOU FOOL!!! 180,000???!!?!?1 regardless of this being what you wanted, i personally would've never sold that other car with the mileage you had on her. 3.5 swap is a pain in the ***, i know alot of op have done it, but you could've just put a turbo in the white one. hope it works out for you.
WOW, You are SOOOO right... I should've just put a Turbo in it, Oh wait... it would STILL be a WHITE CAR?????

Well congrats on the new car, but if what u wanted was a black max, why didnt you just paint your white max black and do a 97+ conversion? Hell I have a Black max, and would've gladly traded u, and mine has less than 180k miles lol. Now u have more egr crap to deal with, and potentially more headaches to fix b/c of the mileage.

well, im wondering when the mods will go ahead and lock this one up...
whats done is done!
most peoples opinion is, keep the 50k and paint it or leave it white... we all understand that.
obviously he wasnt happy with white and the mileage wasnt a concern since he wants to drive the heck out of it.
hes already got a new car. hes happy. lets lock it and leave it alone... whats done is done! someone got one heck of a deal on a 50k car! n hes got what he wanted! 97+ black on black 5spd loaded...

Congrats on the sale and the new ride. I personally think the black one was a good deal and looks great so far. I wish mine was as clean.
BTW schofield, thanks for the deal on the regulator and motor for my rear window, it should be here by the end of the week.

In all honestly for him its a win win situation for him.One he gets the car he wants on top of cash on top. There is also the option of just doing a motor swap too. You gotta remember that it would be cheap for him to do this then paint the previous car itself. Because of even though it was maintained everything on it is surely broken in and has a bigger budget to work with now. Imo 97-99 4.5 gen 3.5 swap and hes set. On top of its hard to black on black in general let alone the condition he got it in. im not being biased persay cuz i have a black max but im looking at the situation personally on opinion and financial outcome.

You're a tool for posting pics of your front end randomly in threads, just because it's so clean.
It's clean because it's been repainted a bunch of times and not everyone knows that. Grow up and leave the OP alone. He got what he wanted and that's all that matters.

Yea, I haven't made up my mind yet on the XXR's. I got a REALLY good deal on them, thats the only reason they are on it. I think they will look much better when I get rid of the stupid white pin stripes and get some clears... I may end up trading for some g35-350z wheels, not sure yet.
I must admit, some of the money is funding an LS swap for my 89 Formula... I've had the motor for a while, just need the ECU and Harness. But yes, I want the Black Max to be fast too and will get her there!

chris, your also a tool. i work for hours on end waxing and detailing my car. you can ask anyone who came to the valley forge meet on may 15th,and my front end has not been repainted a bunch of times. the hood was repainted over 2 years ago and the bumper and thats all. i wonder where that thread is where you were asking for money to fix one of your 2 maximas and you got flamed by a million people. at least i pay for my own mods and love my car and just like to share with people when its clean how good their car can look.

@OP Congratulations on your new ride. I definitely know how it feels to want a color you aren't driving. Mileage be damned. Especially on these cars. Kudos!
