yes i am in australia, i recently bought an aus spec maxima

obviously im quite entrigued with your maximas!! they look quite different have more power ( i suspect) and are possibly a different model code/designation

any ways i was wondering what is the model code of your maximas mine is J31, it has a 170 kw 333nm VQ35de, inside the cabin looks completely different to yours aswell

i have a photo of one the same as mine (i havent really taken photos of mine yet....)




so do feel free to tell me about your maximas and i shall try and tell you about mine LOL

2k4MaximaSE

Any possibility of sharing those interior pictures with us? Interested in seeing how it looks inside. The Australian Maxima looks as if though is a cross breed from the American Maxima (back-end, atleast from that angle) and the Infiniti M (front-side)

Lovemycar

Infiniti M is right on the money i would like to see the inside of that max

Agent R31

umm ill go to the nissan australia web page and get some photos LOL

ill have to go to my parents place and down load some photos and then put them on the web for you guys

yer i know i sound dodgy as... but ill put some photos of my car up tomorrow some time after we have finished at my g/f's grand parents place tomorrow night ( its like 12:20 am here and i should prob go to bed)

anyways you can see them at http://www.nissan.com.au/maxima/gallery.asp
one thing with those pictures, they are the update, it has a very minor bumper/grille restyle same with tail lights interior is basically the same, mines cream leather as its a black car also mine has wood grain inserts, speedo cluster has orange dials instead of the modern looking white dials

ill most definatly have to get some proper photos.... these are nice but meh not my car obviously

in other news i went to the drags and got a 15 second flat, pretty good i reckon considering its stock and today was effing hot (40 degrees celcious) and it only cooled down to 25 at around 10pm

also as you can see there is a temp gauge in the heads up display thingo the temp got to 42 in that today hahaha

Agent R31

hope these satisfy your appetite lol

what do you guys think of it??? nice looking or bad?

i reckon your ones look nice, must look funny to see a right hand drive car, i find lhd wierd looking hahah

The Australian Max interior looks cleaner (fewer buttons) but the info screen looks exactly the same. I'm surprised they don't use the same steering wheel as the US. Honestly, i like the US steering wheel better. The Australian Max has a MUCH better stock grille than our 04-06 models.

And, yes, it does look a little strange to me for the steering wheel being on the right side, but I spent some time overseas so I've driven a car that way before although it's been 20 years.

Otherwise, the J31 Spec.R from New zealand looks hot.

aussie maxxie looks nice but to me the us looks much betterbut i still like it cus its a maxxi

Agent R31

woops one of my other car got in there... but if you look hard enough there is the other maxima the A32 dad had for a while LOL and some might have dads V35 skyline (you know them as G35) and R34 skyline im them, also my g/f and mom make random appearences

i dont know if your american ones are like mine but mine has no temp gauge just 2 lights under the tacho...

feel free to comment/abuse me as you feel LOL

It's call a "Skyview", it doesn't open but it does have panels on the interior of to open or close the roof liner. I always leave mine open. I opted to save the $1,000 instead of getting a sun roof, plus I think it looks cool.

Its got nothing to do with RHD, as long as its got all the papers to be imported to the US, and those vary from state to state, basically if you dont live in Cali you are kool you can bring that car over here, thats my rule of thumb

And Agent, I fixed your speedometer, here you go,

brio_max

iTrader: (9)

I kinda like it. Interior is simple and decent. Rims look good and remind me the Q45's wheels. It's a nice car

If you realy like it, you can have one imported from Philippines or Russia with a steering wheel on the left side

Actually, I know I can't......

Bermont

Fantastic pictures Agent R31!! I love the G35 too (looks like a nissan insignia on the trunk not infiniti?!!??)...Its amazing how they design our cars different for other demographics

Agent 31 - Lovely ride, matey.

Agent R31

lol thanks boys and girls, i didnt think you blokes would like it!!!

yer it has the nissan logo on it because its not a G35, its a V35... its a jap import (well 2nd hand jap import), LOL

hahaha mad2damax sif go to imperial, metric FTW


i dont think our cars are even the same i think they are different models completely...

australia = tiny population, there for we get japans left overs
america = huge population there for you get better stuff from nissan

hoooray i bought genuine floor mats for it cheap too (dad used to work for nissan and we still have some good contacts there)

I like those maxys. i have some pics when i was there and yes there models are completely different. the Honda Accord is our Acura TSX. Great country by the way.

Gen.Maximus07

does anybody know where to get the chrome window trimming that comes on the aussie max? i know there are aftermarket one's available but all the ones i see have the pillars chrome also, or the whole trim doesn't go around all the windows. I think our U.S.max's would look much better with it, i mean the infiniti's and altimas have it, why were we left out. All other luxury lines have it>>BMW,Mercedes,etc,hell even the older generation max's. its like they just forgot and left it out. If there are none available do you think it would fit off of the altimas,g35,m35, or aussie max's?? thanks

tubells

it really is more fun with the left hand....

agent.. great pics... brought back a lot of memories of the outback!!! (especially the barefoot pics!! .. knew it was geniune aussie!!)

but it must suck having a nice powerful car out there when ure aussie cops behave like 19th century british school principals!!

Hold on, You just bought the car and have over 90K Kms on the ODO????

Agent R31

hahaha yer there are gum trees in most of the photos

im fair dunkum aussie LOL (actually i was born in zimbabwe)

the cops here are a bit funny they dont like "hooning" or young drivers in general.

i bought it 2nd hand... thats why its got 90+ km's on it

i paid a tad under $22k for it!!! not bad for a black one

any way im off to clean the car and rest (i started work at 5 am today not a good way to start satuarday morning arghhh)
