Ouch, I'm sorry about your accident man. Is it totaled? Or can you salvage the Max?

 

this happened a few months ago..........the car was considered totalled - i got 9500 for the car

 

WTF happened? How did you do this? Are you still gonna post *****? J/K

 

speeding and a tire blew out

 

My gosh how fast were you going. Did you get hurt?

 

i'm not too sure how fast i was going - but it was definitely 100+ (guessing 120) - there were 5 people in the car and no one got hurt thank god

 

5 people?! 100+?! glad ur okay.

 

daamn man..i didnt know u were goin THAT fast..u should be happy to be alive.

 

damn man glad you're okay. Not a good idea to go that fast with that many ppl in the car. Happy no one was hurt.

 

what're you gonna do w/ the money back?

 

yeah i know - i was driving recklessly - next car imma gonna get will be a shiet load smaller - maybe a GTI or a wrx

 

geez with your infinite maxima knowledge i dont see how you wrecked.














j/k try be more careful next time.

 

 

Your hubcaps are/were lame

 

GTI-337 Hard to find them now but worth every penny....

PICS of my 337

 

they were rims........ROH came from factory

 

Those rims did not come from the factory. They may have been on the car when you got it, but they did not come from Nissan...

...they were/are still ugly

 

Is that the new Anniversary Edition one? I remember seeing something like that at the NY International Auto Show.

 

Yes. It is the semi-ann. one. The actual anniv. is next year I believe and they are comming out with something different for that one.

I love this one just because for about 4k more I got over 6k worth of stuff covered under Factory warantee and Insurance is all good. What more can you ask for on a 2nd car.

 

well, my dad didnt like the gxe hubcaps when he got it in 95, but they offered the C&C package along with those rims for an extra 1300 bucks.......but yeah they were dealer installed - sorry not factory.

 

What came with it? Link

 

recaro seats, 6spd tranny, 18 inch bbs rims, brembo rotors and pads and a shiet load more(no sun roof though : (

 

Here is the link: GTI 337

Just to name a couple things:

18" BBS RC wheels
Michillin Pilot Z rated tires (??)
1" Drop suspension
Tuned Exhaust system
Recarro adjustable Race seats
6spd transmission w/ Stage 2 clutch

The car is great to drive, a blast. I still love when I get in my max after it though. I have 2 TOTALLY different cars.

 

serious?? they give stage 2 stock??

 

no engine mods, but still cool

 

No egine mods needed.... not from the dealer. But the mods are plentifull with this motor and the VW following.

I do plan on dropping in the Chip, BOV, and Boost controller to the sound of about $1k total.


95emerald - yeah, it feels like a straight stage 2. Our roomate also has a 1.8T Jetta w/ 5 spd and the clutch is so soft and on our 337 the clutch feels just like a stage 2, almost as strong as a stage 3. It is almost impossible to shift this car smoothly.

 

Sucks dude. One things nice to know though. Car held together real well. I'm a cop and I've scene a lot worse accidents at much slower speeds. Once again, the Max impresses me.

 

How did your tire blow out? Did you ever find out? Inspect the tire? Sometimes when i'm driving I wonder what would happen if I were to lose a tire... and then ultimately, I slow down. Scary stuff... it's one of those things that you think will never happen to you when in reality it could happen to anyone.

Glad you and your occupants made it out safely.

 

no i still dont know why the tire blew out - i had them inspected about a month ago and the bridgestone dealer gave me the thumbs up........they were firestone tires btw......(dont buy them)

 

if you had to pick between the GTI and the Maxi which one would you take?

Ive been thinking about selling my car to pick up a 337 recently...Maxi is just too long to have fun with it at speed

 

They are two totally different cars. I love driving both. But after driving the GTI for a day or two, then I climb into my Max, I love the max. So easy and effortless to drive. Power on demand, no waiting on the turbo to kick in.

It all depends on what you want. The GTI is small and fun to drive. It is quick and corners great, but I personally don't think I would give up the max. I just like it's benefits over the GTI.

Go test drive one for a bit. Then go drive your max. You will know what you want then.

 

I would definitely take the 337 over a max....... nice small car, 6spd tranny, handles pretty good, and lots of after market.

 

They gave you $9500 for a 95??? What the f**k? I just totalled my 95 last month and 95's aren't worth but $6800, and they gave me $6500 for it. Whats the deal?

 

i was surprised as well, but i guess i got real lucky........paint was glossy, minimal amount of scratches and only had 54K miles......i got 9500 and after the 1000 dollar deductable it came out to 8500 over all, i'm happy.....i guess
