Hey guys,

We're serious about getting more Maxima coverage in Nissan Sport.

I owned a 4th Gen '98 SE 5-speed from the summer of 1997 through fall of 2002. I loved the car. During that time I "lived" on Maxima.org and bet a few of the old timers might remember me.

As olivas mentioned, were looking for great Maximas to run in our magazine. If you have a Max that meets the description please let us know. Put together a short description, a mods list and a few high res pictures, then send them to me (DaveO@NissanSportMag.com) and our managing editor, Dave Bexfield (DaveB@NissanSportMag.com). You never know your Max might be published.

Maximus 95's 4th gen was featured in the winter 2007 issue of Nissan Sport. I emailed pics of my 3rd gen to Dave Bexfield a few weeks ago. He emailed a professional photographer to meet with me and take professional pictures but i haven't heard from him yet.

SO I guess like most mags, if you're not kitted and rimmed and don't look done up, don't bother applying, even if your performance mods/results are top notch. (not that I have anything against those cars though)

i posted a thread in the 3rd gen forum, trying to get the 3rd gen community as a whole to pick your car for you. maybe 4 and 5 can do similarly. you know, nominations and then voting on who's got the best of each gen.

There's at least 2 people I've met in person that made it onto the mag from California:

Kevin (Y2KevSE the former CEO of the org)
and Peter (the guy that just posted)

the best 4thgen hands down was sadlers. period. it's not even worth a discussion over that. no one has even gotten close.

best 5th gen is up in the air if you ask me...personally i wouldn't want a riced out maxima representing us. Skyline bumpers and the like need to STAY on skylines.
