Being the only one Cefiro-rized maxima in this forum, I would keep the Maxima. It's even rare than I30t.

Sell the older car. Plus, you've already done so much to the Maxima. You likely won't get any kind of return on your investment unless you part it out. Unfortunate nature of modded cars.

The Max probably has less mileage on it, and all the parts are at least 2 years newer. I love the I30, but your 4th gen cefiro is sweet!

Only suggestion would be to swap out the seats and any other interior pieces you find nicer than in the Max

The I30t has less mileage on it. Though it's a 96.
Thanks!

Sell both and move on to A33 modifications, not too many heavily modified A33 I30/I35's out there. Would be interesting to see what you would come up with.

I second that.

It would be interesting to see you get your hands on a I35 or I30 A33 style since you have direct access to oversea parts. Maybe you can get those lovely foglights I have been dreaming about from overseas.

Sell them both... get an I35 or M35/M45. There are very few cars out there that will last like a Nissan/Infiniti or give you the performance and enjoyment. I've converted over to Infiniti from BMW... You get so much more for your money and the styling is much nicer. so How much for your I30... I could see buying that and getting rid of my 91 240SX.

I think you should sell both and treat yourself to a new car.
