come on... lime rims?

 

There's also a 3rd gen I have seen. It has nearly the exact same rims and spoiler, but has a green/purple chameleon paint scheme on it if I remember. But this one still retained it's 4 doors...

Looked absolutely horrible, but atleast it was creative...

 

the 1st gen maxima/810's were rwd.
the later half of the 810's were switched over to the name plate maxima.

 

Here are some more. These are the only other ones I found.

 

The Maxima was originally the Datsun 810, this was around 77-80. This could also be the 0 generation Maxima. The name Maxima was originally a trim level you could get. So it was the Datsun 810 Maxima. Then in 81, they decided to name the car Maxima. The car was RWD, offered in 2 body style, sedan or wagon, and 2 motors. 2.4 fuel injected straight 6, or a 2.8l straight six diesel. Also had a choice of 5-speed or auto. 2nd gens changed the whole platform, went FWD, and used the z31 N/A motor (VG30E). It was also the last generation for the wagon (in the states at least).

g-h-e-t-t-o

 

Thats a sweet diesel sedan though.... Nice mileage on it. Plus I hear the 280Z turbo kit fits on the diesel...

 

The 280zx turbo is almost a direct swap. Hell if you did it right, you could drop a RB motor in there. That car would be all sorts of sleeper. I also notice another thing....I didn't see rust anywhere....a very common problem with the 1st gens.

yeah the 1st gen was RWD and in some parts of the world there was 2gen that is also RWD but in US it was FWD.
