    Default the life of a poor nissan fan , chronicled in car pictures

    Well i'm relatively bored right now and maybe someone will enjoy looking at this thread LOL
    Will probably end up being for my own enjoyment so don't fall asleep


    first nissan was a 1998 GXE 5spd. This was when I was getting into the maxima game (heh) anyway It was wrecked by an old lady in a mustang, so happy times. No performance mods but had tint, big sound system, rims, suspension, misc.




    Next came my short owned 97SE. Green with beige interior. This car was a good bit faster than the first one, with 2.5inch ypipe and exhaust as well as adjustable suspension and other misc mods, still a nice sound system though
    Sold to purchase 2k2 for a good price



    Then came the 2k2, 6spd black on black: The current car.







    then my camera got stolen/lost/misplaced something heh.
    But had a lot of front end chipping / someone backed into it in a parking lot and didn't leave any info so I am in need of a respray on the front as it doesn't look too pretty But these are the more current pics.




    Finally on to the datsun fleet. My first 280z which I sold due to money constraints (which I always have, heh) as it needed help with the motor that I never was able to solve with the time I had.
    It did have an RB20det though with supporting mods, just didnt run correctly , ever as well as needing body repairs and paint = $$$



    and then the car currently in the shop for paint and rust/body repair the current 280z







    well thanks for stopping by. Let me know any ideas you have for the current Z car or the maxima (besides paint) and one day I will upgrade the sound system and do some deadening but right now that's definitely on the back burner... in the works for the Z is a turbo kit (i already have most of the parts, just not most of the money)


    Will post pics of the Z when it's painted and fixed up, due by late this month

    it's not too loud at all but it's deep. I absolutely love the tone...

    it's a warpspeed 2.5inch Y pipe then 2.5 all the way back to a flowsound muffler with silverline dual tips

    that's where I got it from, warpspeed site, I got the 2.5inch version.

    I got the dual silverline tips from my exhaust guy, they are I think $70 typically but I got them for free.

    I still think the 5th gen maxs were one of the best looking sedans.

    I would still have my 98 if it didn't get wrecked. The 4th gens definitely handle much better as they are smaller and lighter but the 5ths are definitely more comfortable and definitely more power in my 3.5
