It's time for me to sell my 3rd gen. The car is in great running condition! It is inspected in Virginia though March 2012. The car has 165k on the clock but only about 80k on the JDM replacement VE30. The limited slip 5 speed transmission is in great shape. The car is grey in color and has black leather interior, and black dash and carpet and OEM floor mats, all in good shape. AC works and it's still R12. I have an alpine head unit installed, along with Boston acoustics separates up front and pioneer 6x9's in the rear. This VE5 is in good shape and I would like it to go to another maxima enthusiast. My price is $2,200 firm. I am located in Central VA. More details and pics below.


History:
I bought the car about 4 years ago, with 125k miles. It had a blown head gasket, so I put in a JDM replacement engine with 30k-40k miles. The car currently has 165k. It has never left me stranded. Most problems I have had with the car are related to either ignition coils or fuel injectors. Any problem I have had with the car is documented here. I have never wrecked the car and see no evidence of the car ever being wrecked, the vin number will be posted below so you can run a carfax if you like.

Exterior:
Over all good shape. The grey paint still shines, except on the front bumper(yellow bumper primer is showing though). It could use a good buffing, it seems to have some road grit/sap on the car. Also, the roof of the car and the hood looks like some acorns have fallen on the car. The car has infinity q45 touring wheels with good tires. I also have the stock wheels with shot tires that will come with the sale of the car. All the glass is good. The windows are tinted the VA legal limit 35% in the rear and 50% up front. I have also done a trunk swap since I prefer a spoiler less trunk and my stock spoiler was pealing up on the edges. I swapped over the correct tension rods and mounted the third brake light in the stock GXE position. The stock SE trunk lid can come with the sale of the car too if you want it. There is a small spot of rust (see picture) just in front of the left rear wheel.

Interior:
Black leather. There is one tear on the driver side seat, and the top of the rear seat is cracked from sun damage, other than that the seats are in good shape (see pics). As posted earlier I have an alpine head unit installed, Boston Acoustic separates installed up front, and Pioneer 6x9's up front. The stock floor mats are in good shape and the carpet is clean. All door skins are in good shape. I bought a real leather shift boot that is still in great shape and my center console has been re-covered so that is in really good shape too. I have a AE shift **** installed. All windows are power and work, except for the passenger side front window. When you push the switch it will not move. I think it just needs another master switch, and the car will come with another used one.

Mechanical:
The JDM VE30 has ~80k miles. When I put the engine in I replaced all of the exhaust studs with the updated studs from Nissan, so I don't have any problems with broken studs. The engine run great, and I change the oil with Mobil 1 every 5k miles. Like most VE's my engine does clack some times.

The 5 speed LSD transmission is in great shape too. No funny noises, no popping out of gears, no grinding. Both cv axles are brand new and the tranny is full of Amsoil GL4 gear lube.

The suspension is stock SE suspension in good shape.

Mods:
-Warpspeed Y pipe
-Warpspeed High Flow Cat
-2.25" custom exhaust, with magnaflow resonator, and dynomax turbo muffler (it's not much louder than stock and it does not drone), stock cat back can also come with the car
-Adjustable rear links (allows you to make camber adjustments once your car is lowered)
-Q45t wheels
-AE shift ****

Bouns:
If you buy my car I will see anything still left from this thread at half price

*this car won the Maxus2010 3.0 drag race competition, and also had the fastest 3.0 time of the day.

Please let me know what questions you have. I can show the car most evenings and weekends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just looking at my pictures and I forgot to mention. The car has an Autometer Phantom oil pressure gauge installed in a single pod. The car also has ford tarus pop out cup holders/change tray installed in place of the factory pop out tray. If for some reason you want the stock one I will give it to you if I can find it.

 

The car has had all of the calipers replaced with in the last year. All brake lines going from the unibody to the calipers have been replaced in the last year. The rears are braided stainless steel lines, and the fronts are stock replacement lines. The front brake pads are Hawk HPS pads.

The car has working abs, cruise control, a/c, heat, heated side view mirrors.


Any questions, let me know.

 

Also, the rear fenders are rolled. So if you want to put some agressive fitting wheels and tires on the car, it's ready. Here is how the car looked when it was lowered.

 

How much were you lookin' to get?? I didn't see a price but maybe I over looked it. Beautiful 3rd gen btw.

 

Bump for you Carson.

Very good deal. Unfortunately I already have two 3rd gens in my driveway. lol

I have only posted it for sale here. In a few weeks I will put it in craigslist. I was hoping to sell it here since these cars are hard to find in good shape, and I wanted it to go to someone who will appreciate it.

 

I plan on putting this on Craigslist early next week. Please let me know if any one here is interested.

 

If you still for some reason have this car February please please PM me i will take it off your hands.

Will do. I was thinking someone may want pick it up before the winter gets here since it has a LSD, which is great in the snow.

Thanks.
