I work at an auction and had access to this sexy turbo maxima. I havent seen this on the org. I thought you guys would like to see this really nice car.

As far as I can tell it was a 99 crimson blaze SE fully loaded. with 90K. lol.. i even took it around the yard for a little bit. I don't know much about the car because i was rushing to take the best possible pics and test drive
So here you go:

 

 

You brought it or its still up on auction ?

 

nope its sold....i saw it after it ran today. I was pissed.

 

How much did it end up selling for? Was it one of those Repo auctions?

 

Oh man that thing is secks... that sucks.

 

I don't know how much it sold for.. no it's not a repo auction. By the pics can any turbo guys figure out what kind of setup he had. It also had 3" turbo back and several gauges.

I wonder what that thing is worth ? It said JDM engine was installed as well

 

Um... a JDM engine.... yeah. Unless it was somehow a VQ30DET I don't think a JDM VQ30 would make much of a difference.

 

It's a PFI kit. Car had MEVI on it too, I bet that is what they meant when they said JDM engine.

 

yah when i saw JDM engine, i thought hmmmm. The NON-usdm version comes with the MEVI correct or not ?

 

MEVI = Middle Eastern VI. I think most places, not including the middle east, got the "USIM."

 

They got MEVIs in lots of places besides the middle east. We just first learned about the MEVI from a guy in the middle east and that became the name of it before we knew it came from other places too.

 

what auction you work at??? And damn, why did you go to work late today?!?!?!....lol

 

Damn that this is teh buttseckz. How fast did it feel?

 

god damn i bet that thing went for cheap too. Little dirty but that thing would come out nice after a good detail session.

 

nevermind.

 

I would've bought that thing so fast and transplanted most of the better parts onto my '98 and made one hell of a car.

 

damn that thing is awesome

 

I would have bought it if I were you.

hope she got a good home.

 

Wow that car is sexy! Why would anyone trade that in?!?

 

That thing must've had a cracked block or the person needed cash really fast in order to be selling it at an auction. I really like that color.

 

This car is from brooklyn ny, I know the previous owner personally.

 

I was just about to mention I believe I know who owned that car. got a few parts from him quite a while back. Didn't know he was getting rid of it. Hadn't seen him on the org lately though.

 

Yup that was him....this is what he had that you guys just missed out on....

final numbers:376 whp 358 wtq ~ upgraded T4 (ball bearing/stage 3 turbine)13 psi /staggered boost, 590cc injectors, emanage ultimate, aqua mist spray, stage 3 kevlar clutch, I30 lsd tranny/cryoed gears, jim wolf cam gears, mevi with in-dash activation light, original motor, J&S Safeguard..

 

That turbo is pretty close to the relay box......

 

NOOOOOOOOOO, say it aint so!! Brooklyn's red beast is gone. This goes to show. There are people who don't even come online often who have turbo'd VQ35s, ran 11s, even swapped in VQ30DET engines in their cars and just go unrecognized. This red maxima has been like this for years. It will be missed in Brooklyn.

 

Do we know what price it got on the auction block?

 

no, tomm. I will most likely ask what it did .

 

rest in peace in peace from BK, u will b missed

 

Those numbers look good!! must of been a beast on the street!! i wonder how much it wont for though.. the pre. owner is he still on the org??

 

How on earth did that car end up at auction? There was obviously a great deal of time put into it. More importantly, a great deal of $$$. I can't fathom how that car would be traded in like that, when a lot more money could have been gained through private sale; or if not that, at least a great deal of money could have been had by parting it out and then trading it in. Someone got a raw deal on this...

 

There's no such thing as cam gears for the VQ Cams, maybe?

Nice car. Don't much care for the rims, but it's a nice car.

 

Actually at one time there were cam gears for the VQ30 but this was a long time ago. They were purchased I believe from Stillen.

 

Thank you.

 

nice car and nice turbo

i am in M.E we have too much MEVI and We changed iT With Canadian One

( why did u use the MEVI ? and the canadian is bigger than the MEVI ? )

did it give more Power ?

 

Sorry for doubting you. I had never heard of them, searched and got no real results, not to mention the whole thing really makes no sense.

 

Seriously, I know it's none of my business but I'd love to find out how that ended up at an auction fully modded like that. Makes me wish I went to the auctions more often too, there's never anything that good when I go.

 

Basically from what i been told, Guy did not want to keep the car In Brooklyn, where he would see it. So he put it in a auction

 

yea dude that thing was absolutley sexy, and the rims meshed together well with the car too. im dont know if im right but i looked like a T3 TO4E turbo setup, it looks like one and thats also the most common turbo to go with when boosting a VQ. nice car though... damn.

 

must have been hard to let it go if he took these kind of measures to sell it...
