So my max is now officially double salvaged :-) I'll keep it for my gf, but it's time to move on to bigger and better things.

I don't like the look of 2004 and up maximas, so I want to stay up to 2003. Unless ofcourse there's alot of benefits by moving up a year to 2004. I am not very familiar with newer gens, so which one would be the best to get. I want a manual, a 6 speed would be nice. But since i wanna get another salvaged, i don't usually have a choice in trim level, color, etc. Are all 5th gen the same, what's this deal with 4.5gen and 5.5gen? Is there a big difference in gas milage when comparing a 3.0 4gen to a 3.0 5gen and to a 3.5 5 gen? I will also keep an eye out for a wrecked G35, but those are really hard to find in a decent shape and with a manual. Any input and suggestions from you guys will be appreciated. Thanks.

 

If you get a VQ35, be sure to get headers before the pre-cats fail.

 

I got another 4th gen right after my first one was totaled

 

part your car out....and buy a new one..

 

stop messing with wrecked cars?

 

Buy another one

 

5.5 Gen 6speed FTW

 

Do you by in IAA?

 

get a 2003 6-speed, you'll never go wrong, step up from before and its better for performance than maximas after 2003, 2004-2006 are heavy *** maximas, dont hear too many of them being used for performance

 

wtf man. why are 4th gen's on .org gettin totaled left and right?
g35's are played out. get urself the new m35

 

I like the body styles up to 03, what's the hp on the 03s vs. the 04s and newer?

 

I just get alot of satisfaction when I buy a car for a fraction of the price, and I look at a dude pulling up next to me in the same car after he just got raped by the dealer on the price. I'll try to find a 6sp 2003, hopefully it will be soon. PS. Yeah i can buy on iaa.

 

Leave the nissan family and get the new camry v6 with the aerokit..

 

If you got the money for a M35 you should just get the M45 (more power plus less weight FTW!). But I would go for the Altima SE-R
