97 3.5L 6Spd HLSD Philly

Its a 1997 Se 3.5.

Engine:
Jwt stage 1 cams
Obx headers
Cattman catback
Safc2 tune
Underdrive pulleys
Nissan Works Performance Thermal Spacers
SS Intake Manifold Polished
AEM Wideband O2

Brakes/Suspension/Tranny
J30 caliper upgrade
02 6 Spd with HLSD
Tockico Blues with Ebiach Springs

Looks:
Custom Graphit Blue Pearl
Murano rims
Carbon fiber hood
Ionic Sideskirts and Rear Valance

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yA0Q0iWiPic. Alittle video from awhile ago before I had the SSIM, Spacers, and retune.

The car runs great, ive made it to florida and back with no problems (march 07). It consistently got over 26mpg and tops of 29 on the trip. A/c was just installed but because of the lightend pulleys it doesnt seem to work all that great on 95*+ days.

Car has been to the track and ran a 13.3 @ 101. By the previous owner. I havent had any good runs at the track but went with a slipping clutch thats since been replaced. Im trying to go to JNZs dyno day to get an idea what the car will put down. Should be around if not over 240whp.

A few members on here have been in the car and know how quick it is. When ever I mention to my friends that I am selling they tell me not to because it is such a unique car but it is also my 3rd Nissan Maxima and I am kind of getting tired of having one the same type of car for 3 years now.

Any questions feel free to ask. I am asking $8500obo for it. The body has about 170k miles on it and the motor only has 30k. With about 9k of them since the swap. The 6Spd has about 1.5k miles since the swap.

The car needs inspection since its due up this month but I will be getting that done.

Thanks man. I drive it once a week for about 40 miles. This used to be a daily until I was having the 6spd done. Now i just drive the beater civic. I love every minute driving the max though. Its still so much fun.

Who did the 6spd? Was it Tilley?

Beautiful looking car with a nice choice of mods. Good luck with the sale, but I'd keep that thing if I were you.

If you mean the old front bumper thats up at tilleys. No more cold start problems. Runs great now. I just want to replace the rear o2 sensor since its throwing a code for that.

Are you going to put the bumper back on?

One other thing, I think you told me this before, but is this a full 3.5 swap or the 3.5 with 3.0 timing/ECU?

Its not a full 3.5 swap still uses the 3.0 timing/ecu. If you buy the car it can come with the bumper. You or I would just have to drive up to tilleys and get it.

Great looking car, it's the ideal Maxima IMHO. If you were closer I'd see what I could do but Florida is a good haul away.
