hey guys, i posted this in the general forum, but i thought i'd give this one a shot too.

anyone have any idea how many Aniversary edition 5 speeds were made that year? i figured mine is pretty rare seeing that i have only seen 1 or 2 on the road besides mine, just want some numbers to confirm.

tried googling it, maybe call a dealership? who knows if they'll be cool about it.

 

theres like 3 running around up here, ones a blue manual but i would figure its rare, maybe contact nissan about your car, ask them if you could get production figures

 

I believe I read here that there were about 8000 - 10000 AE's made. Of those, the majority were automatics, so my guess is that 5-speed AE's would be relatively rare. BTW when I bought mine (Jan 2001), there were no black 5 speeds available in the region that includes Oregon.

 

2k1seae, looks like we have the exact same car...dont you just love it??? i havent seen another black one yet. i put the chrome tips on too. is that tint black or the mirror lookin stuff? you like it?

 

In last feb there was one for sale in the dealer i used to work MAnual

 

Yeah, I love my AE; they are unique. Black is the only color (lol), although the majestic blue is a close second. The tint I have is Solargard 35% and I don't think that it is metallic, but I could be wrong. I really like it because it is noticeable, but not too dark (and it legal). We have good taste ..

 

Mines a 5 spd AE. Dark Grey, I think its factory color name is Grey Lustre. Got it at an auction. I was originally looking for a 99 5 spd but this one came along and it was too good to miss. I love the color, and the only thing I like better is black on black, but when theyre so hard to find, especially a 5 spd, you take what you can get. But I am extremely happy with it. Especially since you don't see too many AE's around....especially 5 spds......It definitely stands out.

 

i love mine. the LSD makes a big difference. when i was looking at a 5th gen i said either way (00-01, or 02-03) im getting the 5.5 headlights, but once i found the AE i cant bring myself to change them. pedals are super sweet too, i just need a 350z dead pedal. i like the silver mist teh best, it compliments the rims nicely. gotta get rid of teh potenzas though.

got the mod bug again, this could be hazardous

 

Black on Black Ae Manual. Just bought one, and love it!!

 

I have an AE as well...black-on-black. I went looking for a Max in PA this summer and the dealership only had one used Max...a 5-speed black-on-black AE. My luck sucks, so I am still wondering how I got this baby. I couldn't be happier with her, except for the fact that the pervious owner removed the pedals and put some cheap, uber-ricey carbon fiber pedals from Pep Boys in place
