My friend just bought a 97 maxima and they said it was awd but to my knowledge they don't make them in AWD, is this true or are they just syaing that to get the car sold.

 

No such thing as an AWD Maxima.

 

not true. There was a guy who spent about 3k a year or so ago that converted his to AWD.

 

Only 3k? I want this, tell me who...

 

whres clee?

 

AWD on a maxima - nope - he is a liar - rwd on a maxima is also a fairy tail (until next year atleast)

 

 

 

Is this a joke, or is your Max really RWD? Also, how much did that cost you? Parts/labor involved?

 

I think he just lifted up his chassis and put it back on the drivetrain backwards

 

Someones spot jsut got blown up. Poor Calvin.

AWD Maxima? I have yet to hear this, esp since I have been on Maxima boards since 97 (Evans BBS). Im not saying this isnt true but that is a first. BTW-They did make Maximas RWD originally-The earlier productions (1st gen) were actually RWD.

 

next year or about 15+ years ago when they were all RWD, and FWD didnt exist. thanks guy

 

You guys are really damned funny...I'm gonna ditch my 4th gen and pick up a 1st gen if the 6th gen isn't RWD or AWD...too bad they don't offer the AWD option on the G35 in the states like they do in Japan...

...which is also ugly BTW because it's built on the Altima chassis.

 

I can set you up with a sweet deal with trading your 4th gen with my uncles 1st gen. I think it still runs too
Deal??

 

Maybe. Or I'll just buy it outright. Tell me: what year is it, model, is it sedan or station wagon? Also, what's the mileage?

 

No it isn't. it's built on the FM chassis. It shares this chassis with the upcoming 350z and the new Skyline sedan.

 

no but i hear wrx's have awd and can smoke gold 97 5 speed maximas.

 

And late this year's STI's have 300hp and driver controlled variable AWD and can smoke 350Z's

(....I want one)
