I am no longer Sarah91se....well hoping Jambo can change my name I will be Sarah99GXE I got it last night at a great deal..Its gray/silver...is this sterling mist? I will take plenty of pics. It has 44K miles, I got a 100K miles complete warranty (everything including the interior of the car). Yes its an automagic, but did you know manuals aren't covered under the warranty? Besides I didn't really have a choise as this car was in my price range. I got it for !5,899. I traded in my old car. They paid off my loan & applied $350 towards my new car. Yeah i know i prolly could have sold it on my own & got more but I didn't want to have to go through the hassle. I am soooo exited guys!! It has tinted windowns & a sony cd player from the prior owner. Ok so now tell me the stats on my car....hp etc....I knew all about the 3rd gens but dont know squat about the 4th gens...so can someone fill me in on this car??

thanx!

Not with an automagic. The last auto 4th gen I saw tested ran 0-60 in 8.1 and 1/4 mile in 16.4.


Anyway, congratulations Sarah. We all know 4th gens rock.

Congrats! I remember when you pulled up at the SF Ocean Beach meet and Booker commented how one of your foglights were not working. Actually, he said "check out that foglight mod!" and some people chuckled. Okay so I digress.

Welcome to the 4th gen family.

Re: Re: 4th gen

I own a 96 GXE automatic, completely stock with aluminium 15" rims. And with NO option except heated front seats and power driver seats. We bought the GXE because of financial problem we had in 1996. That thing is very rough before 40000miles, but after that, I brought it to a shop for a major maintenance:

20W50 Synthetic Mobil 1 w/ Nissan oil filter
Nissan air filter
Synthetic ATF w/ conditioner

It ran 7.4sec 0-60 and 15.7 0-400m.

That thing was so smooth running that the engine I think is better than the one on my 2K SE. I am serious, after the major maintenace, THE 96 GXE FELT MUCH SMOOTHER THAN MY CURRENT 2K SE ENGINE!

I sold it for 2k SE because the suspension on the GXE are extremely worn out after 3 years of rough use.

So congratulation on your purchase! You will be surprised of how great the 4th gen engine will run!

Congrats!!!

mod-wise, I suggest you go get an oil change ASAP. You can do Synthetic-blend this time and then go for full syn next time.

Are you interested in getting a Stillen intake? It's CARB approved - no hassle when you do the smog check couple of years later. So, sign up for the group buy!

Sarah, congrats! We are going to miss you on the 3rd Gen Board.


As I stated before, I would consider a Sterling Mist or Super Black 4th Gen or 5th Gen Sterling Mist AE. I am actually waiting until the 6th Gen comes out before I make that decision.

Don't get me wrong, I love my 3rd Gen to pieces. But if the unthinkable happened, I already have Maxima Candidates lined up.
