Third times a charm... I'm back in the game!
 

As the title says, I'm back in the maxima game..

92 se
03 gle
02 se :)

As some of y'all have seen, I left the forum back in the beginning of May because of relationship problems with the old lady... Some might not care but my old 5.5gen was under my old ladies name and as I had left her, she took the maxima... :(

Well a few months have gone by and her and I finally settled our differences and we ended up buying a 5.5gen with a 6 speed..

Car had 170,xxx on the odo but 35,xxx on engine and transmission...
Car was bought for 3,300 with some minor repair needed..
Non bose, no sun roof, only options that are on the car are the leather seats and spoiler...

Mine on the left and hers in the right... Hers still have the bc coilovers

First fill up

And what drives me crazy about this car..
Attachment 42523

Now with the questions since I have never drove a 6 speed maxima...
The clutch is brand new but hard as ballllllssss to shift into any gear when engine is running...
My thought was air in the clutch line because the clutch pedal doesn't fully engage when it's to the floor it feels like...

Hers the day she picked it up from the house...Attachment 42520

I took most of the small parts off it as in, 00-01 se tails, 00-01 gxe dash kit, and energy suspension bushings still in boxes

Good thing is, old lady and I are better than ever and both have 5.5gens.. :)

Congrats again, Kyle! Now start MODDING! :lol:

Welcome back....

It seems either air in the clutch line or perhaps it needs adjustment? I'm not familiar on maxima manuals but on other cars...maybe older ones...you can adjust it.

So you're the real fatboy

Take the mods on her car and put them on yours, just in case you two split up again. :D

thanks mr jeff.....

still have them wilwoods??

i can pump the clutch about 30 times and it slides into 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th like butter... any other time if i dont pump it, you have to put some strength into shifting...

the other fatboy, i got my bc coil overs off of.... :)

Take those BCs! Welcome back.

oh her and i already talked about that today....

she doesnt like how stiff the coil overs ride (i put it on the stiffest setting when we broke up)

she wants the SE suspension on her GLE.... :)

Actually at this point they're spoken for by Alex...but I do have a set of G35 dual piston calipers for sale. You can be the first max with them.

:D

orly?!?! ;)

updated picture before work....

<-trollin pic n price on them if their akebono

Lol pic in the g35 thread Aackshun started (in my sig). They are only dual piston, Akebono are 4. ;)

Nice Pick Up....:D

Cool pic. I love relics of old buildings like that. Where do you live?

About 30 mins north of Dallas... :)

Town I'm in was established back in 1883 I do believe and tonssss of historic buildings are still up...
Also has a old cotton mill a few blocks from down town...

Was classified as the fastest growing city in the nation from 2006-2010

That's cool :cool: Lots of new businesses opening up there?

Welcome back :)

Pick up a spare tire cover for that new ride :nod:

:mrgone:

lmao! i havent forgot you man...

i know dude!!! its like every maxima i see, the rear carpet and board are sagging... :/

lotssss of businesses... just opened a subaru, fiat, kia, and hyundai dealership along with remodeled dodge and ford dealership...

quick question on the ss clutch line tho...

who has or carries the line that removes all of the factory clutch line and upper bleeder line??

Why aren't you selling them for me?!

hahahaha!

get the measurements for alot more cars and you my friend will start pulling $$$ left and right

lol you sold the car w/ the BCs on it? i was wondering the other day how it was still holding up. just curious on longevity on the BCs cuz i would love to get a set on my integra...i know straight up BCs are fukin awesome :D

Free time is not on my side :slant:

they are on my old ladies GLE...

im thinking about pulling them off and throwing them on my SE...

they have held up great man!!

:D sweet!!! depending on how long these skunk 2 full coilovers last i might get a set end of next year.

congrats on the reconciliation and car family expansion

Yea I'm wanting to straight up stance the SE out on coilovers but also have form and function..

I'm tossing up either get another set of bc since they have held up pretty damn good on the GLE or maybe some full adjustable teins with an edfc..

I'm more into handling than power, do a lot of high speed cornering out in the country...

Hey Kyle...get a rear sway bar. Lol I had a Stillen sitting around for awhile and just installed it last night. World of difference...feels so great through corners now.

I'm only a fan of rear sway bars on non-lowered cars.

hey i have the same problem when i shift i have done nothin about it yet since im not driving it yet but i heard it may be my slave cylinder but i want to bleed my master and slave when i have time just learning on how to still heard its easy. goodluck

Cool...to each their own.

very interesting statement. :cool:

Well I got the SE towed to the Nissan dealership yesterday and got a call from Nissan today..

Let's just say the 3300 I spent on the car, tack on another 4100 in repairs needed..
Car is costing over 7400 all in all

Flywheel
Radiator
Key and key fob

Yep. I put mine on when on stock springs. It reduced body roll really nicely. But after I lowered the car, I felt that especially on curves the back end felt like it was going to break loose. Happened too often. Very unnerving feeling. Removing the sway bar (but still remaining lowered) gave me the control back. A healthy amount of body roll.

I've removed countless sway bars from customers cars because of this same phenomenon, so I don't think my opinion is entirely off-base.
