In Japan!!!

So I'm a maxima owner in japan, and everyone knows that there arent any Maximas in japan. So Im thinking about getting a Cefiro aka I30/35. Do they make these 6 speed.

look for a A33 Cefiro with a 3.5, year models I believe were 02-04

I know the maxima with a VQ35 could be had with a 6 speed, your best bet may be contacting Nissan though. I cant say with any certainty YAY or NAY

with all the cool cars in Japan why a A33? I'd much rather go for something like a Gloria, Cedric, or the Toyota Crown Athlete

I'm pretty sure the A33 was not available in a 6spd in Japan, and if it had a manual trans I doubt you could get it with the 3.5.

More importantly, can you ship us some A33 body kits or at least front lips?

the Cefiro in Japan is a salaryman car, its not desirable to be sporty. The best equipped Cefiro's I've ever seen are always in export markets and not in Japan. Actually I don't think I've ever seen a 3.5 Cefiro in Japan, Malaysia, HK, or Singapore- I only see them in Taiwan.

its funny how japanese car makers put thought into their cars to suit different people, while in the US they just build cars to sell sell sell with no reliability

wut? probably 99% of the JDM vehicles here are meticulous. Japanese take extremely good care of their vehicles. usually drift ***** dont get imported either

also, proof older Maximas are in Japan still. 2nd gen
