This is SM525V manufactured by Samsung

I used to have one in Korea.

everything is same as 4th gen, because Samsung automobile and Nissan are

belong to renault.

There is nothing special but I'm gonna take care of my max more...
I put 2 color LED turn signal light (1 LED has 2 color. this is kinda cool ha..) And I installed D.R.L. with 3W power LED metal block 6 of them.

 

Very Cool! Thank you for sharing. I see it has a MEVI...but what I'm wondering: why does the spark pulg cover say SAMSUNG????


I want one of those so I can be KDM!!! LOL

 

Actually I really like this style.. haha

and Why there is samsung logo... um because as I know samsung bought

nissan's tech before nissan is belong to renault. and then nissan's economy

get worse Renault take over nissan in 2000 and in some reason in Korea (it is

related with hyundai, Kia, Dawoo) Samsung decided not to continue there

automotive business so Renault take over Samsung motor.

 

those HL's are completely different though. Neat to see regardless if it is exactly the same

 

Vq25de ..

 

Ill be the objective one and say Im not a fan of it. It looks like it bred the US Maxima and the JDM Cefiro and splashed poor attempts at luxury on it. The exterior just DOES NOT flow in my eyes.

 

It looks like VG25de to me...weird and the tweeters are in the A-pillars instead of next to the door handles

 

that front end and steering wheel looks like shiet...i'd cop a I30 personally

 

QFT. Oh wait I already got one

 

 

Front end looks like a Buick.

 

Seriously hope that was a joke.

 

engine cover *does* say 2500 V6... VQ25DE indeed

 

Joke as in its a weird car so why not have an engine that wasnt made lol

 

Apparently no one in this thread was here during the MEVI craze.

It was 10 years ago. Circa@2002

 

I still want a mevi actually....just cant find someone selling a complete kit either that or they wont respond. Not a fan of the complexity of the oovi nor do I need the xtra power on lowz RPM's that it gives over the mevi

 

If I wasn't so lazy I'd sell you mine. But that would require me removing it.

 

Don't need the xtra powah? Shame on you!

 

ok how many Dorito's tacos(dont you dare say they arent tasty) do you need to take it off? I have Chacos as well......

well for my set-up I simply do not need it and the cost/benefit is not as much for me over someone else who isnt in the process of SC'ing......and a little laziness mixed in as well

 

MEVI + SC was bad azz. Ask iansw.

 

not a fan of the samsung, just something about the exterior.

i want that a/c vent/clock woodgrain piece

 

 

Anyone know the original Korean Maxima?

Trick question, but props if you know the answer.

 

God that thing is ugly..

Anyone else notice the huge window switch pieces?

 

It is interesting how the headlights droop down into the bumper. Anyone know if that is functional or dumb design?

It uses a 95/96 rear.

 

theres plenty of american maximas with tweeters in the a pillars dude. i see them at the JY all the time and im like AW SWEET. but then i realize itd prolly be a pain to wire up both.

 

depending on the year. Most are in door panels near the door handle

 

also i want those ****in mirrors.

 

i know, im just sayin. the tweeter thing aint nothin.

 

I would venture to say that the Korean Maxima is based on the same platform 95/96 series US Maxima.

3 observations in particular bear that out:

Tweeters in pillar
Auto climate control
Taillights (they have this sort of 97-99 look to them, but like the 95/96, the indicator and reverse lights are on top)

Also, the VQ motor was a world engine. There was a VQ20DE, VQ25DE, and of course the VQ30DE.

Yeah, I'm a 4th gen connoisseur

 

photemis, a guy who made a thread about paradox closing, has one for sale. id link you to his thread but cant from the app. ill link you when i get a chance. or just look for it. search for paradox

 

Stop spweing noob info, read some wiki about the vq too.

 

00vi + SC + spray...

 

Scary *** ride!

 

Thought it would resemble a Maxima a bit more before looking at the pictures. Closer resemblance to it's other cousin, the Infiniti I30 / I35.

 

oh just do it... its hard but not thaaaat tough. grab an 00vi kit with bop's and you're set

 

Outside of the US, the I30 IS the Maxima.

DW

 

shocknawe talks a big game, but some of the things he asks questions about leads me to believe hes just bsin.

 

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I know the SM520 is twins with my 95 Maxima. I've thought about buying one for my vacation house in Seoul.

 

someone should find and overseas junkyard online and ship a few MEVI's to the states... ive searched out of curiosity but failed lol.. found other crap just not a the Intake Manifold
