Its just a NZ/Spec Maxima. From what I remember Stillen modified a small run of cars for the local market back in the day.

It was probably a factory/dealer type promotion to find buyers for the 5/Spd's which sat unsold in showrooms across NZ and Aust.

The Maxima was (and still is in Oz) marketed as a company car/retired couple type car not as a sports sedan, so the manuals didn't sell. For example Australia received only a couple hundred 5/Spds, and only between Jan '95 and Jan '96. Dealers couldn't sell them and the option was dropped, never to return.

And you guys think finding a 5/Spd I30 in the US is hard.

it is shyt, it doesnt have the factory driving lights, has the indicator on the side which means that it is a NZ model and NOT a cefiro, it therefore doesnt have a 220hp but the lesser 190hp 3.0
