Out here in Utah - The greatly abused Maxima still going strong....

kcf881 · 04-08-2006, 11:07 PM

I'm in the Chicago area with a grey 91 Maxima se 5spd. I bought the car just to have an inexpencive four-door with a stick. My project car at the time was a 95 Ford Probe GT. Anyway one day I discovered the Maxima Could do everything the Probe could and most of them better. I've preety-much been hooked ever since. I look forward to your advice as I build this thing.

All I wanted to do is find some information on VTC problems. So I'm a day late and a dollar short as usual and I have to post 15 times before I can ask where to get some good solid info on the 93 problem child VTC's.

You may see about 14 more of these goofy replies.

sicwitted44 · 05-07-2006, 10:39 AM

just purchased my first maxima, 91 burgundy beauty, its automatic but i want to convert to manual. can anyone give any advice?

knabini · 05-09-2006, 07:01 PM

IMO, converting to manual tranny is more expensive than buying a car with it, unless you can do most, or all, of the laboer by yourself

. I've seen similar kind of conversion here in one of the posts.

akurtzer57 · 05-10-2006, 09:41 PM

Live in the midwest only 3rd gen Maximas within 50 miles are mine or the ones i sold. live in a town of around 8000. let me know what you think of my max so far close to turbo kit almost got all the parts.

writes1 · 05-22-2006, 11:10 PM

What up!

I've had my 1993 Maxima GXE for a few months now and I'm starting to like it. It has 160,000 miles on it- which I think isn't bad. The guy I bought it from has had the water pump, air sensor, one fuel injector, and spark plugs replaced before my purchase. I was happy with the accurate records and care taken by the previous owner.

I don't know too much about these cars and I've been surfing the web for some info. Fortunately, I came upon this site.

I haven't done anything major to the car yet. I'm having a few difficulties figuring out three things.

1) The lights in my air controls won't light up. I've checked the fuses and they're fine. I found a replacement on ebay. I'm not sure this will fix it though.

2) My rear defrost doesn't work. I also checked the fuses again and they're fine. Ideas?

3) My passenger window is always tripping on me. It's power and rolls down fine. But when I try to roll it up, it doesn't want to roll up right away.

I haven't had time to actually investigate the problems thoroughly. I thought I'd give this site a try.

My plans are to keep this car running and looking good for ten years- if possible. I want to put some good sounds in, some nice 17" wheels, tint the windows, and new paint.

I love the site and I plan to visit it more for advice, etc. I don't have a pic to post, but I will soon once I wash it!

kat · 05-23-2006, 08:36 PM

Hello everyone, I am new to this site. I have a 93 Maxima and I love it but because it kind of looks like a granny car I am making some changes. Bought the car from and older couple a few months ago and it is in excellent condition so I want to make it my own. This is what I have done so far:

17" wheels and 235/45R17 tires
New KYB struts and strut mounts
tinted windows
New stereo with amp and sub
Ordered Eibach lowering springs
Ordered spoiler
Ordered sway bars

That's all good but I work in an auto repair shop and I really have a need for speed.
What kind of upgrades could i do to get a little more oomph off the line?
I have been searching but haven't found much

deadphish · 06-05-2006, 10:22 AM

done deal...

kcf881 · 06-05-2006, 08:14 PM

Can't post pics yet. My car is camera shy!

mwwood77 · 06-06-2006, 06:30 AM

Bought my first nissan a week ago. Previous owner wasn't nice to her and she needs some help. This site has the best information about the maximas from what i've seen. Very helpful members and a lot of information for someone new to nissans. Thanks.

Do you have a stick or automatic?
does it matter whether it's hot or cold?

where are the pics?

I have stick/manual transmission, and it doesn't matter whether if its cold or hot!

*internetautomar* · 06-09-2006, 02:51 PM

I have had my maxima for years (I just got it...But my mom had it before) it's a great sporty sedan...to me it has been as reliable as the sun.

I don't have a pic..but its in great shape..cept i need a new fender (sis got inna fender bender.) the hood paint is peeled for some reason(anyone know why that goes first?) and two of the windows wont shut.

140k miles..Its a 1994.

*98z28* · 06-09-2006, 10:56 PM

Threw my hat in the ring. Just picked up a 1990 Maxima SE, pearl white with 137K. The power train is in good shape, but I have some superficial work to do (minor body work, replace the Bose stereo, etc.). I have learned a ton from this sight already and look forward to learning some more.

Hi, does anyone know if a carbon fiber hood is made for the 3rd gen maxima?

**MrGone** · 06-13-2006, 10:01 AM

Fiber Images makes/made them.

jbeau · 06-17-2006, 04:57 PM

hey guys I'm a 3rd gen owner from canada.. i have a 92 gxe converted to manual/leather

CaRo · 06-19-2006, 10:54 PM

I don't fit on the map, it's too small! I live in Argentina in Buenos Aires, the capital city..
I own a 93 dark blue Nissan Maxima, don't know if it's gxe or what because the car documents here don't say anithing. I assume is gxe with some optional pack because it has the VG30E engine, painted mirrors, cloth seats, but disc brakes on the 4 weels, ABS, sunroof. It has no spoiler. Automatic transmission, sadly. My father bought it in 2002 but for the last year it has been mine. Best car ever!

howard_943 · 06-28-2006, 06:00 PM

tobinaz · 06-29-2006, 09:46 AM

I have a 94 GXE that I had replaced injector 2 twice. If I disconnect spark plug wire i get spark and no change in performance, is like piston is not working. Can I test voltage to fuel injector?

*internetautomar* · 06-29-2006, 05:35 PM

yes you can with a "noid" light is the best way.
