OHIO Trade my 1997 Turbo 5 speed?
SOLD TO Crusher103!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE
Clean OH Title in hand! I purchased this un-modded from first owner, a Nissan dealer, and it had around 40,000 miles on it.
Looking to trade for a newer, mostly stock car to be used as a DD. Trade for any car, just PM me what you have...
I am not planning to sell, but here we go: $8,000
PM your offer though, I may just let it go to the right enthusiast!
It does have a Quaife ATB (Automatic Torque Biasing) Differential. It has a rebuilt 1995 transmission all shimmed correctly. My friend's dad has a transmission shop.
I got the kit from Maxima.org Moderator Jay25. We also swapped in a lower mileage engine. Everything was done by him and his brother.
Links to dynos when kit was on the moderator's car....
349HP/338Lbs of torque

Walbro Fuel pump
370 cc injectors using stock FP (I have a SARD adjustable fuel pressure regulator that is not installed.)
Vortech FMU w/4.1 disc
MEVI (I have the stock manifold handy to go with it)
Spearco intercooler
Stock MAF w/CAI (I have two z32 (300zx) MAFs that I never installed.)
Clutchnet 6 puck sprung hub clutch and modified pressure plate
fidenza flywheel, plus a spare fidenza flywheel
Quaife ATB (Automatic Torque Biasing) Differential
other details/stats:

about every mod you can add to a maxima....

\\\THE BAD///
Note cracked passenger side mirror and bumper cover paint issue. This was actually Jay's bumper cover. His was already cut for inter-cooler to fit, but unfortunately had a little paint issue on front of it. Was not worth it to me to paint over.....
Also someone backed into the driver side fender.
It is running rich and needs tuned.
EDIT 3:
3/2009: new spark plugs, battery, and brakes all around. I also replaced the oil line from turbo to lower oil pan. It had a slight leak here.
6/23/2009: Re-ran injector wiring and it is loomed up nice now.
EDIT 4:
see my two for 1 thread for latest info:

Thank you for the replys.
I guess this is really a feeler. I am not sure what the going price is. I am pretty sure I will keep this car forever, but I am open to offers if a true enthusiast is interested. I promised my wife I would do a feeler. All of our cars are paid off, and we have 3 cars. We car pool, so we really only drive one regularly. With kids not too far away, it scares her knowing I have this crazy fast car. I only autoXed the one season years ago when it was NA.
I would like to get into like a 5th gen with the 3.5L, would love a 6 speed, but perhaps someone has an auto and is dying to have a 5 speed! :>
I recall when I had an auto 95 GLE and wanted to trade for a 5 speed, even though an auto is technically worth more and has better trade-in value.
I plan to keep my non-boosted 1995 5 speed forever too. It is our commuter car. :>

Thank you for the responses!!!!
I like that 5th gen nismomaxct! I think I at least want a 5th gen.....
khantalha: I have a friend in Akron. Do you have only 4th gens?
I really want a 3.5 6-speed! Probably not going to happen though.... I don't plan to sell it out right, but money can buy anything right? ^_^
Things to note:
This is an aggressive clutch. I am used to it of course, and you can always change it out. I had an oil leak, but found out it was the oil return line. It has since been replaced. I think I have a vaccuum leak.
I drive it every Tuesday to my MBA class. It does not have any major issues that I am aware of. I will have to confirm the check engine light. It was not something of concern or surprise what from other turbos have posted. Heck Jay25 may even recall! It has always had full synthetic everything. Amsoil all the way. This has proved to be a realiable boosted car. I have to thank Jay25 for his impressive work (and other ATL folks get an honorable mention)

I have the stock manifold handy if you do not like it.

I will do a detail job and take pics. I do not want to waste anyones time. No rust going on, but what i think is normal wear and tear for the year and mileage. The 1995 has rust, but not this 1997 turbo. 1995 had Cleveland winters though, still keeping it forever! ^_^

ok I did a quick wash today:
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v1...axima%20Turbo/
note cracked passenger side mirror and bumper cover paint issue. This was actually Jay's bumper cover. His was already cut for intercooler to fit, but unfortunately had a little paint issue on front of it. Was not worth it to me to paint over.....
The engine bay is in need of a cleaning. It looks like a mess under there! I do not forsee pics of it in the immediate future.
I would recommend a competent car/turbo person to take this off my hands. I do not think there is any major issues. It starts and runs fine. Gets me to class and work once a week. Pulls like a beast in 3rd gear from 50-80mph. Sometimes I think I could almost beat anyone from a 40 roll !

Never did my own. Never raced 1/4.
I provided links in my post to Jay's dynos. This is his actual kit off his car so should be around the same. He installed it too as I noted above.
"349HP/338Lbs 9.7PSI" I do not think I've ever gone past 6psi.....

He decided that he did not want a turbo for his only vehicle. I did it for the longest time. :>
EDIT 3/15/09 - New oil lines for oil cooler, starting to feel a little brittle. Also new ebrake line.
