Hey guys,
I just had a question about the backseats of the 04-08 nissan altima.

Ive noticed some people have a center console in the back (connecting with the front)

Is this a factory option,
can I do it myself too?
and do all maxima's from 04-08 have the option to get this package?

thanks for the help,

you can do it but its alot of money to convert it that way.
I have this on my maxima from the factory, it was a $3500 option (Elite package) only offered in 2004 maximas.
here is a pic of it

iTrader: (16)

Yes and no. It is a factory option, but it was also available to me when I bought my 2005. I gotta have room for the kids so I went with the regular bench. I can't speak for the 2006s though.

Oh yeah, nicely done interior.

ok im sorry i stand corrected. offered 2005 also, i thought it was only the one year.

roddykaregaran

I see.
Yes yours is the one I saw.
I am in love with your interior lol.

So there is no way to after market interior body shop these?

I think someone did convert theres to look like this, I cant rem where i seen it though. But it will cost a nice piece of change man, best bet is maybe try to find one with the elite package in it already
thanks man as soon as i seen the interior i wasnt leaving without the car

your going have to find a Elite Package maxima thats been in a accident.

Need the seats center consule,
There are air vents that run to that as well , I havent totally pulled mines off so i have no idea whats under there, the cup holders.

The seats DO not fold down tho , the only down side but the bottom seats are easy to take off , theres handle that you pull and they completely come off.

I spy a extra tweeter in your front door, you a 5AT or 6SPD ?

j23a45m9

iTrader: (6)

lol yes i added that there.
5at ftl. I want to do a 6spd swap but im building my B20 vtec motor right now so no time for that yet

NiZMo1o1

iTrader: (45)

same here , Ive lost 3rd in my 5AT , Already have a few 6spd parts to convert but re-planning my step, May just go with a fully built 5AT instead of the 6spd.

j23a45m9

iTrader: (6)

man if its a 6spd Hlsd go for it lol.

i havent seen but one elite package 6spd. very very rare i guess

blackmax07

it was offered in 2007 also..just didn't offer the burnt orange interior...

j23a45m9

iTrader: (6)

I stand corrected again, ok so i guess its offered every year just a rare option

check my other thread * Redlinegoods*

some interior options now

roddykaregaran

haha ok,
does anyone know what we're lookin at in pricing?
more than it costs to get the elite package itself? or what

How often are elite packages seen.
Because thats what I would really like to get now.
I was hopefully getting mine tomorrow but I dont know anymore that elite package is just murdering me.

yea having the elite is nice if you know you will never ride more that 4 occupants....

j23a45m9

iTrader: (6)

well i only know of 2 other people haveing the elite package that i know myself. If I go to a meet im the only one with it. out of maybe 10-12 6th gens there

blackmax07

Doing the elite conversion is not worth it..So many things to do...But as to how often they are seen..Very rare, on this board we might have 10 if that..Its a pretty expensive option, and most of us need 3 seats available in the back

damn it does look fresh

I had a 2004 black on black 6 spd with elite package....that thing was freakin' mint....it is now owned by a 25 yr girl who doesn't know how to drive manual very well......

well scratch that one elite that might be dead soon

From what I have heard, it was called "Journey" package on SE's and "Elite" package on SL's. It consisted of heated dual rear buckets, power rear sunshade, delete rear seat 60/40 fold down and replace with lockable pass-thru, center console with storage box, 2 cupholders, power point, console box light, and also don't forget, this package makes all 4 windows "Auto". This package required leather and moon roof (driver preferred?), from what i understand it did not require navigation but most of them did have nav.. Burnt Orange leather required this 4 place seating option and came on black, orange, or smoke exterior only. Correct me if I'm wrong,

I work at a Nissan dealership and my research has led me to believe I own a rare model, Black onxy / Burnt orange 2004 6 speed manual, elite package, navigation, etc.

J I think you got the wrong link.. that links to your LEDS

i love the way it looks. but i really like having the option of folding down the rear seats when needed to carry large things.

props to come clean interiors~

I suppose each has its advantages. Obv the 5 speed auto is more convenient, better for boost (if you end up going turbo) the six speed is pretty smooth, better for N/A and easy to shift but the shift throws are long and I'm not aware of a short shifter available.

Wow these are some awsome interiors.
I am so amped I really want to get one with elite package, or so be it, "Journey" package.

We checked out a few auctions for em but no luck. We'll see what happens in the short future.

I wonder what Nissan would say if I called and asked them if I was even aloud to put it in after it was already made... ?

Hey all, I'm about to purchase a 04 Maxima SE.
The owner has told me the car is fully loaded minus Navi.
It even has the Elite package.

I'm wondering if its worth paying the extra $ for one with the Elite package?
Will this slow the car down (in terms of extra weight)?

Thanks

SteadyC

it seems to me that you would also have to replace the front center console. When I disassembled the whole rear of my car to do dynamat extreme, the rear section of the center console hooks into the front section. I also see alot of work in finding the "firewall" that is behind the rear seats and trying to install the rear window shade. I agree that the only option is pulling this off a totaled elite and have way to much time on you hands. I have to say a black max with peanut butter leather and buckets does make me feel good. It could be worth it in the end.

HoustonMaxima

I've been shopping around Houston for a 6th gen Maxima, and got a call from Tom Peacock Nissan today. They just got in a 2006 Maxima Elite with everything including leather and navigation, about 35k miles, price right around $18,000. Not sure on the color.

Anyone interested can PM me and I'll give you the contact info for the guy at the dealership I've been talking to.

i was going to get it but it uses up one seat so instead of having 5 you get 4 but both the front and the back passengers enjoy the trip ive been on my friends max and he has the elite package and it feels great back there wouldnt mind not riding shotgun if any car had this feature but it looks nice and i believe its only a factory thing so go to the stealership and ask
