does anybody know where i can find "Maxima" door sills [if they r being made]...i dont want tha A/E sills cuz i dont have an A/E....i dont wanna buy em online so anybody know any stores?
thanks

 

Try your dealer....are you the youngest maxima owner? I may have you beat :smile:

 

why wouldnt you want the AE sills?

their chrome, and say MAXIMA on it. (i believe)

it wouldnt matter which maxima you have. =X

 

Non-AE door sill plates, with Maxima wording, sounds like a custom job: I have not see any dealer or after-market door sill plates for 5th Maximas.

 

do the A/E sills have "Maxima A/E" on em or juss "Maxima"?
Milano....ur younger than me? WTF.....man ur ride is so dammed phat....i was hoping u were some 25+ year old w/ like a good job...cuz i dont have a job and my parents r not gonna gimme any money to mod my car so i gotta do work for the first time in my life to get my mods.....i showed my friends the pic of ur car and they were all like "ohhh *&^#&!!!!, that is the phattest Maxima i have ever seen, no offense Adarsh"...and i love ur car too Mr. Burner...but the Neepers on Milano' ride are like WHOA!

 

The AE sills read only "MAXIMA". They are stainless on plastic. Choose the color of plastic that matches (or contrasts - your choice) your interior. Order them at any Nissan dealer for around $50 for all 4 doors. Installation is a 'snap' as in snap-in, no tools needed.

 

any one have the part number for the sills.

 

you're bragging about being a lazy f&ck whose parents bought u a Nissan 2 accompany their Honda?

 

im not bragging....im juss pointing out the fact that Milano is younger than me, the only person younger than me here, and his car looks 200x as phat as mine...and tha fact that they wont let me get a job to mod

 

how old are you? milano and maxedout2g?

 

I'm 18....Graduated from High School last June.

 

yeaaaaaaaa, i juss turned 17 a lil while ago Milano....i reign as youngest Maxima.org member!!!!

 

hmm ... there mite actually b s/o yunger than u ... she was just being trained on her dad's max .. so she would conceptually b 16 .... but I can't remember her id ... u mite want 2 post a message in gen'l discussion ...

 

i might have to specify then...youngest 5th Gen Maxima.org member...

 

Yea man, you be the youngest

 

i think i was the youngest on here not too long ago... but im turning 19 on wed.

 

Damn. I must be "old-school."

When I was 17, I took the $800 I had saved
(and my folks gave me $200 for my birthday) and
bought a 1970-something Subaru DL 1600. (This
was 1983, BTW) I kept this car running with
bailing wire and duct tape all through
college - until 1989.

Where the heck do all you youngsters get Maximas?

How about this dude "psing23" - his .sig says
he has a 2k SE "fully loaded" AND his dad
just gave him a Lexus GS430? Gave?

If I was 19 and had 2 (that's TWO) cars, I wouldn't
be bragging about it in public forums... But then,
I'm the humble sort.

I'm going to start one of those polls. "If you're
under age 20 and you have a 5th Gen. Maxima, are you:"

1. A lottery winner
2. Incredibly lucky in the stock market
3. Spending your college fund on cars instead of college
4. A rich pr*ck who doesn't know the value of a dollar

OK, time to fess up. Who's buying these cars for you
people?

 

Ummm... No ur not i'm 16 and i have a 5th gen! so it looks like i'm the youngest 5th gen max owner! Its mine too cause my dad gave it to me! thanks god! and i treat it like it was a baby boy!

 

WTF is ur problem man? why does someone who is rich have to be a pr*ck? first of all he did not give me a GS430... its his... but he would let me drive it basically when i want if he isnt using it... and yea the maxima is mine... i do know the value of a dollar very well... i hate the idea that you think that if it comes easy to you that you must be some kind of a$$hole... listen buddy im sorry to hear that you werent as fortunate as me but that is life and you shouldnt be sitting here complaining about it...

 

my read on his post wasn't the same way u took it ... i think he was just thinking out loud ... dunno

n e wayz scooter ... there r a tonne more kids with way better cars than a Max ... if u drive around my old school campus (university of Toronto) or near fob (asian) town .. you'll c tonnes of kids driving bimmers ... MB ... Lexus ... u name it ... they have it ... there's a kid @ U of T with a BMW 540 with either a turbo or super charged engine .. pimp BBS rims ... that thing'll kick that crap out of an M5 .... times ... they are a changin'

 

i owned a 1980 Dodge Colt when I was 17. Cost a $100 and the transmission fell through the floor after a year.

I am 18 years old and just spent $23,000 on my Black on Black Maxima SE w/ C&C Package and I had mods in my house for it before I had the car! I was 16 and driving a 98 Maxima SE until a few weeks ago, so I am pretty young too. I worked my @$$ off and saved my cash and that is how I have the money for my car and the money to Mod! Pluss I'm Italian!

Millano: What percentage of tint do u have on your car?

 

Thanks for the responses, "young dudes" It
was interesting to read what you had to say. I
originally came in here looking for info on sills,
but look where I ended up...

To be completely fair, I shouldn't have singled out
psing23, but his .sig is by far one of the longer ones
and it does sort of mislead you into thinking
his Dad gave him two cars. I don't care how
"fortunate" one is, it is still mind-boggling to
think that someone's parents would have given
them two cars. You should think about changing
the wording on that .sig, dude - and I'll turn
off .sigs so that I won't be biased by what I
see there anymore...

Choice #4 on my "poll" was tongue-in-cheek, I
forgot the smiley. Sorry. I also should have
added another choice for those of you have have
actually earned the money. Congrats to you on
that - I spent all my money on college, so I
had to drive the Subaru! Hey ItalianMax2KSE,
what does being Italian have to do with it?!

Psing23 - maybe you'll understand where I'm
coming from when you're my age with kids of
your own. It's a different perspective than
the one you're currently seeing life from. Had
my parents given me the equivalent of a $25-30K
car back in 1983, I probably wouldn't have turned
it down. However, I too was "fortunate" that
my folks taught me that you have to earn the
money for things before you have them.

I see that parking lots in the schools in the
upscale neighborhoods and I just have to hope
that the BMWs and the Lexuses (Lexi?) that I
see are cars that belong to worried parents who
let the kids drive them and were not "given" to
these kids.

Can you imagine being one of these kids who is
given everything - expensive cars, etc. and then
one day is faced with the shock of realizing that;

1. BMWs cost $50,000 and
2. that is quite a lot of money, regardless of
how "fortunate" one is.

It comes down to a question of values, and that's
a can of worms best not opened here.

I've had my say. If you actually read this,
congratulations. Now you know where I'm coming
from.

 

hah!

at my school, their are these twins. their seniors, so like 17 years old.

well, their parents just got them each a new car... a benz ml320 and a clk320. its their's to drive...

now... their parents.. they have a sl600 and s600 ($100k!)

and i swear, IM NOT EXAGGERATING!

and their not the richest kids in school either.

and some other news about them... the twins and their brothers recently got busted in NYC for smoking weed in the public street around 2am... so an undercover cop caught them, and took them to the station. well, they called their parents, and they bring along their lawyers...

anyway, by the end of the night, their out FREE, with NO charges, and they spent a couple hundred-thousand on their lawyers... now thats money, sheese

that's my story about xtreme richies.

 

well i wouldnt say that your the youngest owner of a new 5th generation Maxima because im 16

 

This is exactly what I'm talking about. What
impression are these kids left with? "I get
everything I want, including upscale cars that
most adults can't afford." "And when I do
something wrong, (and there's no denying that
they actually did break the law, right?), my
parents will bail me out."

I got busted for underage drinking when I was
19 (first year of college). My dad went to
court with me and made sure I stood up and pleaded
"guilty"! I paid the fine.

What did these two just learn? They learned
that they can get away with anything, including
breaking the law. They learned that the justice
system in America works differently for the
super-rich.

In the end, they are left thinking that the world
owes them everything. There's a whole generation
of rich kids like this. It's called "pathological
entitlement." It's a pretty poor way to get a
start as an adult in this world.

 

that's why the youth of today r good 4 nothing ... one reason is their parent's who don't know or care 2 raise them

look around us ... the world was better ten years ago .. & even better ten years b4 then ....

just my thoughts

 

I am 16 too. Turn 17 in July. Looks like there is a battle for the youngest here.

 

im 16 and have a 5th gen my g-pa bought it for me! i guess i am the youngest!

 

check it, im 17 and i consider myself extremely fortunate to be in a situation where my parents can get me a 25k car...also, its tru that until a lil while ago, i didnt know the tru value of a buck...however, im not one of these rich boys who smokes weed and pimps like 8 hos either....i dont have a job, but thats only cuz my parents want me to concentrate on school, and whether anyone thinks that a decent reason to get me such an xpensive car or not is ur own opinion.......
and ohboiya, who tha F**K! do u think u r to say todays youth "r good 4 nothing"?!! u must be f***in hard f***in headed to same sum stupid sh** like that....yea todays youth do sum f***ed up stuff, columbine and SD and stuff, but ur juss f***in stereotyping now...nobody's gonna be even close to perfect..back when u were young, lets say, rock and roll was starting up, and everybody was like oh no, look at today's youth, they're horrible..are u?.....and ya, some, maybe a lot, of parents r neglicting their kids, but my parents, not to put anyone else's parents down, r the most loving and caring ppl i know...they would do anything for me, including buy me a car...they here for everything and anything i need......u need to open ur f***in eyez; every new generation is gonna seem more and more radical to the older generation; todays youth r gonna be the leaders of 2morrow, so u best stop living ur happy days of the 60's or however old u r and start living today...

 

ye thats what im saying...

how can you say we are good for nothing? we are what is going to make this world continue... when u and your generation are gone... guess whos going to still be here? why do you think we are good for nothing? because life is a little bit better over all for everyone so since we have it a little bit better off than people 50 years ago it means that now we are good for nothing? I am 19 years old... ever since i was 16 i have been working in my fathers store after school everyday... during the summer i work there full time for the whole week... i kno the value of a dollar... i know how to manage and how to make decisions... you are very wrong yourself for waht you said and it just makes you seem like the one who is narrow minded... what did you do so great that makes you good for something? all we need is a little group of people like to you start saying that other groups are good for nothing and then we have nice conflicts arising.... oh wait a second? i think we have that today... and guess by who? is it YOUR generation? well all i can say is ignorant people is our problem today... nothing to do with age, sex, race, culture... its just ignorant people are the ones that cause most of our problems today

 

Okay well this conversation is really cool considering we started out with talking about door thingys. Well as a matter of fact I am the youngest 5th gen driver, im 16 born may 20, 85 and i have a 2k se, so booyah lol, and no im not a rich bastard im a lucky one who found this baby on an auction a lil' beat up, however i have like no mods except the white corner lamps, ae shifter, pedals, and door sills, so nothing major, im the younggest though LOL

 

i used to drive my dads old 95 pathfinder. after he gave it to me, he bought a maxima. but a couple of months ago, the pathfinder died, so he gave me the maxima, and decided to get a new car again (he was planning on giving me the maxima anyway, i had helped him choose out a car that i planned on getting)

anyway, so i got the car from my dad, and i bought every single mod with my own money. i might be kinda young, but im making alot of money. i work on the internet for www.GameSpy.com ($ based on traffic), i work after school for www.e-lens.com as creative director($10/hr) and i do ALOT of websites for kiddies at school (~$300+ each!)

so i make alot of money for my age, so i can afford to spend some of my cash. and i do save money, b/c i become a freshmen at college next year (parsons school of design, NYC), all my gamespy.com checks go to the bank, and i have over $3000 in it.

internet + computers = money

im grateful my dad gave me his car, so i bought him a nice golf shirt, good trade eh?

 

how did u get a AE shifter on urs? did u do the install urself?

 

I believe you have an auto, well it is possable to get the ae shifter on yours too but you need some mods done to your current transy, my se is a 5-speed and i just took my shifter right off and got the one from courtesyparts, 5 speed one unscrews right off

 

ooo my mistake assuming u had an auto... its a habit of mine cause i have one... sorry bout that... yea i kno 5 speeds u can just unscrew

 

thats streight, however you do know that 5 speeds can do more than just unscrew ;-) Also, if I were you search through the threads cause I remember there was either a tutorial or something about installing an auto ae shifter on a previous one...

 

found it, use this link click on non ae auto sumthin.... http://www.fourthrock.com/maxima/mods.html
