Well, this weekend it's pretty nice in NY so I decided to take her to get washed and took some pictures today...unfortunely it rained last night so there were leaves and gunk all over the car today. But, anyway...

I bought this car about 1 month ago. I found her parked in a Chevrolet dealership in Brooklyn as I walking to grab something to eat. I bought this 1990 Maxima SE 1 hour later.

I have since added some 4th gen wheels bought from a fellow org member in NJ.




The well worn in interior



Here you can see where it looks like the previous owner decided to eat the seat belt. One of the many things that needs to be replaced.



I have mild plans for this car...nothing crazy. After the regular maintenance stuff, she's going to get a decent audio set-up, as the current BOSE set-up doesn't work. The struts need to be replaced so I'll swap in some Eibach's and Tokico's (it already has tokico's up front but stock blown units in the rear, which I found odd) and from then who knows.

After taking these pics, I'm still suprised how well these cars have held up in the looks department over the years.

Share some of your pictures if you've taken some lately.

Here you can see the nice door ding underneath the driver side door handle



And the semi clean VG

 

Looks good, also looks like it was taken more than decent care of.

 

nice

 

hey lucky, your really "lucky" to have found such a clean 3rd gen in NYC.. if you havn't noticed, they are all beat up on the outside, and messed up on the inside around here. enjoy

btw, if you get a chance, get the front glass tinted as well.. would look alot better IMO

 

^^^ Thanks for the comments guys.

And Joe you're right I really seem to have lucked out. Most of the 3rd gens I see around here are seriously jacked up. Hopefully, I can keep it somewhat decent looking.

And that tint does need to be fixed I know. Add that to the list of things needed to be done.

 

Just curious if you dont mind, how much did you pay?

 

$1500

131,000 on the clock when I bought it.

 

The car looks like it is in very good shape. Those wheels add a nice touch, too. Subtle things like that are what make these cars appeal to me.

My seatbelt looked about the same and I took it to the dealership and they replaced it for free under the lifetime seatbelt warranty. I had to do a little arm twisting on the service manager, but eventually they buckled. Both front seat belts are one unit, so the passenger side is replaced as well.

 

Yea man, that looks real nice and clean. Have fun adding some mods to it

 

Great, one less thing I have to spend money on. I wasn't aware of the lifetime warranty.

The .org is the best.

 

so one seatbelt is brand new and the other are faded, LOL i would have biten all of them and returned all of them LOL i hate things that dont match in my car (very picky)

 

looks clean. nice work!

 

Did you read my post?

The front two seatbelts are all one piece and are replaced at the same time. It is not likely that anyone would pay that much attention to the rear seatbelts. I usually have my center ones tucked underneath, anyway.

 

yes sir i did, i meant like the other seat belts, like the ones across your lap and stuff, plus the rear ones, i know the center one is a double seat belt, i just got done changing all of the belts in my car to black.

 

Nice 6th gen...Oh, your car is nice too

 

lol

And oddly enough, there was a 5th gen parked right in front of the 6th gen. So, there were 3 Max's parked right next to each other.

 

Very good find (nice shape + good price). Much better than mine 93 GXE. Enjoy !!!

 

Now go get more mod (after make sure everything else working properly). I suggest starting with Y-pipe from WarpSpeedPerformance (www.warpspeedperformance.com). Mention maxima.org member and you can get the old style for $160 shipped.

 

Thanks for the heads up.
