I have a 95 max with 190000kms on it and I absolutly love the car. It drives really nicely, it's fast enough for what it is and it's really comfy. The thing is, i am very performance oriented. I like a car to run as smooth as bran new and have loads of power. My car is auto and I really want a 5spd. To find these parts in scrap yards is hard(5spd is rare ) and to do the work is really not easy(possible though). Also, it has a little bit of rust problems which need to be taken care of, a couple of rattles from the truck, front wheel bearings, the leather on the front seats needs attention and also on the steering wheel and let alone that I want to modify it to have descent power such as port polish heads and intake, maybe MEVI, jim wolf tech ECU. The car runs great, the tranny is newly rebuilt(6000 kms max even less probably). I also like the look of the 97-99 trunk and grille over mine, but I have to put a lot of money into this car. I already have the tokiko illumina suspension kit, y-pipe, hi flow cat, strut bar, sway bar, short ram intake. I was thinking of selling the car for a 98 5spd SE BLK/BLK with all the same options as i have, but with a rust free body or almost(that's my biggest, but not so big problem cause it's at a point to be saved). So, what would you guys do if you were in my place?? Sell it and start from scratch? Or, do all that crazy **** and have the sickest Maxima in Montreal(cause Digitized is moving to toronto

 

Take off all the current mods. Sell the car. Buy the 98 and add all the mods then some

 

Right ON!

 

^ yeah do what Mxrider52 said if you can.

 

and then ditch the red text!

 

look for a 5spd and sell yours. you'll eventually find one like i did.

 

HAHA!! Good point on the text...didn't like it much either...I know, i was fearing that, cause i don't have stock shocks for it, and the y-pipe and cat are lost cause i don't have the old ones. All good. i think that's what i'll do.

 

good luck with it!

 

I would keep your Max for a parts car and then buy the '98 and mode the ever living cr@p out of it. Cheers!

 

i wish, my parents would have a cow, but could keep it as a winter car

 

my 98 5sp just got t-boned and is in the salvage yard. if you can get at it, it has all you would want... trouble is finding where they took it. Adessa salvage in CT i think... if you want to try that
