Well, I'm back from family vacation and was it fun...
Went to the STL where my dad lives and where there's a sweet U-Wrench-It "you pull it" type of junkyard, got some cupholders, and some saab/taurus ones that's I'm gonna sell. I learned some stuff and have got some questions...

1. I saw a GXE in the junkyard, with a heated mirror switch, I don't know if they just swapped one from an SE and whether or not it worked, just saw it...anyone?

2. I learned that there are 2 different SE wheels, I took the 3 that came on my car up to my dads to get sandblasted, and we got one out of the junkyard, except it had a different backspacing/offset. From the face of the rim to where it hits the hud was around 3" instead of my 3 rims that were 2"

3. I got a couple of things, a shift boot, dead pedal, 5 spd dummy switch (for this dumb guy i know who let a vaccuum eat his) nissan and taurus cupholders, some slashguards, got my front bumper painted and 4 se wheels sandblasted, soon to be painted a medium/dark silver.

I'll show you some pictures of the different wheel and the stuff i got in a lil bit when i get the pics!

 

could one of the wheels be for drum brakes and trhe other disc ?

 

What? You mean that a U-Wrench-It had a 3rd Gen. I have been to the U-Wrench-It in VA Beach several times this year. Each time, I come up empty: no Maximas. About as close as I can get is a 2nd Gen. No 3rd, 4th or 5th gens to be found. Nonetheless, I was able to get some shared goodies like relays, switches, etc from some Sentras and Altimas. I know that the one day that I don't check the yard will be the day that they will have about 3 or 4 3rd gens out there. Oh well.

 

there were about 6 GXEs and 2 SEs, sadly no VEs, there was even a tranny i coulda used on my VG, but sadly no 5 spd for me.

 

I thought all SEs came with rear discs? thats why it seems wierd to me. My dad thought maybe nissan used it for another car, but it came off of a maxima and don't remember it being used on anything else...anyone want some saab cupholders?

 

I want the cupholders

 

the saab ones? PM me

 

you should of let me know you were hear i would of showed you some other junk yards with more 3rd gens. theres actually one about a block from that u-wrench-it that has a VE auto but i already robbed most of the sensors and what not off of it already and theres a junk yard right across the river in IL that has a few VG 5spds but thats about it. glad you had fun though

 

damn forgot you were in st louis, later this summer im gonna try to get some guys around me off the org to go up and get a vg 5spd tranny, ill let you know

 

cuopholders that could hold a .99 wendy's drink will be good

 

not only will the saab ones hold 1 99 cents wendys drink/small frosty...they'll hold 2! if you want em let me know

 

Thank you

 

no prob man...
anyone want the cupholders for sure? $15 shipped, they're about twice as much on ebay

 

or u could just go to ingrams junkyard on indian river road where last time i was here they had, about 4. but if u dont get there when they first come in, they aree stripped

 

i went to a local u wrench it today and was very surprised to see an s.e VE there and a gxe that i happily took the MAF off of.... the ve only had 116k on it and the woole engien and auto tranny were there with i had a ve car the needed that stuff the enigne is 150.00 complete and the tranny is 75.00 ......... first time i ever saw a ve there in fact over the last 4 years its the 4th 3rd gen ive ever even seen there ive had a part off of each 3rd gen thats been in there over the last 4 years lol.....

 

Jeeez.. I guess we've got it lucky.. The yards I go to around here have 20-30 3rd gens in them.

As for the different SE wheels, are they 89-90 wheels vs a 91 or a 92-94? they're all slightly different on appearance and machining around the trapezoidal holes, so they may be different on the overall width of the wheel as well. the stock GXE are 15x6, and the SE are 15x6.5 on the 92-94 models..

 

someone want to explain how DMad got vwinks siggy?

 

maybe thats why you had such a hard time finding your car







no, the whole moved to a different state thing means nothing

 

LOL

Two yards in tulsa had at least 40 of them. and another 50+ 4th Gens.
one had about a dozen 3rd gens and about that many 4th gens.

 

I made it for him, it makes fun of using TAPE to put on his STICKER
anyone else do that, and damn 20-30 3rd gens

 

Yes all SEs had rear discs. However, the Z31 used the same style wheel, and probably had a different offset since is RWD.

 

you rat bastid.

 

wow the most 3rd gens ive ever seen in a junk yard at one time is maybe 6 or 7 and they get stripped pretty fast. the most ironic thing i see is the first thing that goes is the vg auto trannys

 

dmad, what do you mean there are two kinds of SE wheels?

 

they looked the same, but if you removed the centercap, one had a deeper backspacing/offset

 

i know the Z31 Z's had the same exact style of wheel as the SE's just with Z in the centercap. I don't know about the off set though.

 

ive got an old 5 speed vg trany you can have if you want to rebuild it

 

whats exactly wrong with it
im on break right now so i wont be back till 5 (central) PM me tho

 

Same here, although I wouldnt say 20-30 3rd gens . I usually only regularly go to two yards but they usually have 'only' 5-10 3rd gens - of course most of them are stipped clean, and if they're not stripped clean, they have useless stuff like the burgandy interior or blue interior and star trek wheel and a VG in the engine bay

Of course I did hit the jackpot with the VE 5spd find not too long ago

 

hmm. i've never heard of this. could offsets differ, then, from VG to VE SE models?

 

My '92 gxe came from nissan with heated power mirrors

 

and was available with a 16" same style wheel.
got a pair, anyone interested?
moving soon and don't want too take em with.

 

Still got them? I'd take them for $15 shipped.

 

I was gonna give em to caleb....but it loks like someone stepped on em, i gotta see if i can get em wroking right again

 

i thought SEs had rear drum and front disc? mine is a se that has rear drums..

 

Can you say "REBUILT"?
