Nissan maxima, the blacksheep of nissan

I'm 6'2 , that shit is small. Looks great in that picture. But compare the cabin size (not quality) of a G37 and a Maxima, big difference.

:lol::lol::lol: You acting like 6'2 is 7'2. I'm 6'2 and that shit is not crammed at all. I have a M45 but my wife has a G coupe and I fit fine in there.
 
Let's Be Real. The reason why the MAx is over looked is the same reason for most mid size cars like the Mitsu Diamonte. America is trying to shift the Market towards Smaller size Fuel Minded Cars. Due to gas prices going up. Then you have the Vast amount of New car buyers that want to look for cheaper Vehicles...


I could have Easily Cop the ......

6 series BMW (used 2007)----- But it was much heavier than I thought it was and the power seemed to get lost with the weight. (at this point buying the name did not mean much)

Audi A5 (new) ---- Have everything I wanted and the headlights. but then they had a bunch of things I did not need or cared for. and when I saw the ticket price, I saw I was getting everything I wanted plus more power in the Maxima) Mind you This is my 3rd max and I Was considering something else this time around.

I got the 2009 Max in late 2008. I have the sports/Technology package with the 19" Rims. Since then:
Swapped the Air intake and exhaust for Stillen Parts. Had Nissan Install the parts So my Warranty is not Voided.

I waiting till my warranty is done before I have someone Modify the engine for a super charger. (UNLESS MAX COMES OUT WITH A AWD Version)

G37 or M45 for the win. Seriously I'm a Nissan dude 2010 Path full loaded with V8 engine 4x4 and 03 G35 sedan... Previously 99max Se... which I upgraded for the G35. Do you seriously think Im going back to any Nissan Sedans? NOPE.

@Beatdown what made you not consider the Moreno
 
I have had 2 Max's, a 99 which got hit and totalled and now a 04. I love(d) both, but I do agree to a certain extent that Nissan is messing up, because the Altima and Maxima are almost indistinguishable. They look too much alike and offer the a lot of same options
 
Fuck a maxima.
I've owned 5 ( 2 94, 2 95, 1 96 ) and almost bought a 6spd 03 with a blown engine for $3500 3 weeks ago but someone beat me to it.

I was and still am an active member on both NYCmaximas.org and maxima.org

had supercharged, MEVI all that good shit on MY cars until I bought MY turbo Integra in 05...MAXIMAS SUCK BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S STUBBORN MINIVAN REAR SUSPENSION SETUP.

THE ONLY MAXIMA THAT CAME WITH INDEPENDENT REAR IS THE OLD, ORIGINAL 4DSC ONE IN THE 80'S....SAD.

The also refuse to go AWD like the Evo or RWD.
It's a familY car now, Not no 4DSC.

The GTR is a beautiful piece of machine thou, anYone in the NYC area is welcome to take a look at m boY's GTR @ Top level Performance.

Damn nigga you got to put the websites on blast? :hmm: I'm a member there as well. You still selling that 96? :lol:
 
Sold it last month.
FinallY got the title back.
Selling some other shit on there right now thou.

I'm pretty much done with maxima's its either infiniti or bmw as upgrades... I will continue with the Nissan tradition of trucks though
 
Ya'll niggas find anything to argue about... The reason the Maxima isnt poppin is because Nissan failed with it. There is nothing unique about it. Whos gonna buy a front wheel drive 3.5L "4 door sports car" for 40,000. NOBODY, when you can get a used all-wheel drive M35 for less... Same engine, better interior, and nicer exterior IMO. The Altima has had the same exact engine in it for the past 8 years!!! There isnt anything differing the 2 other than a couple of inches of space!!! Plain and simple one needs to go or be dramatically changed.

Go back to lurkin dude you don't even know wtf you are talking about. All Brand new maxima's sold are leased.... once the 2 or 3 yrs are up more people pick them up on the used market for far less than an infiniti of the same year.
 
What exactly is the advantage of being rear wheel drive?

I was thinking the same thing! It you get stuck in the snow, you have a better change of getting out with front wheel drive. The first two cars I owned were rear wheel drive and I for the life of me can't tell the difference.
 
The Maxima suffered because of the 3.5 Altima. People looking at a max can get the Altima with the same engine cheaper. Nissan is never going to give the Maxima rwd or awd as long as they have the G37.
I have an 03 6speed and it moves. A few suspension upgrades and these cars handle great. I hate the fact that they no longer offer the 6spd as an option though so this is probably my last Maxima. My next car will probably be a G37 6spd or 335.

Co-Sign... I loved my Maxima 6spd. Once I found out that my 2003 was the last year they made a manual Maxima... I moved on to an 2005 Acura TL 6spd.

This is the exact reason I dont post... BECAUSE OF DUMBASS NIGGAS LIKE YOU. You so busy trying to make a point you dont know what the fuck you just read or just typed. I am talking about BUYING not LEASING. What person with logical sense is going to BUY a 2010 Maxima when you can BUY a 06, 07, 08 M35X with more FEATURES for less money. AND WHO THE FUCK LEASES ANYWAY!!! Im done with this dumb shit, its ok not to be on BGOL 24/7 nigga!!!

I'm sorry dude, exactly where are you buying Maximas for 40k? Is your salesman a jumpoff? They all have the same engine, like dude said, peeps are leasing these, not buying. :smh:

How you go from Nissan to Honda? I can't respect a TL. Honda never pushes their cars all the way, too family oriented. Best they ever did was the NSX.
 
You might want to read a comparison test done by motor trend between the maxima and the (at the time) new pontiac G8, this was back in 08 I believe, it talks about how the nissan engineers made the decision to keep front wheel drive even though they considered RWD at some point.

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0808_nissan_maxima_vs_pontiac_g8/index.html

I call that article plain smoke an mirrors. Despite what they claim, I hardly believe that Nissan was going ever make the Maxima RWD.

You dont wanna fuck with that RWD in the snow, If u live more or less where it's not prevalent(SNOW) by all means "Go 4 Urs", I would like to see it in an AWD platform, then maybe i"ll do a 4Yr plan with one..., Had 4 Nissans, only 2 remain...

AWD+SNOW just means you spin out 4 wheels instead of 2. You can drive ANY RWD car in snow....you just need a good set of snow tires.

i just DESTROYED your whole argument right here. the chrysler 300 SINGLEHANDEDLY kept chrysler's name alive:

2011 chrsyler 300

Good point...I forgot all about the Chrysler LX platform. And so did the buying public. But good point!

Actually, before this current Maxima, back when the Altima was refreshed, it had a MORE powerful engine than the Maxima did. It was a joke. There is very little market for a large sedan. Just about everyone has a hard time moving them (retail). People rather buy a crossover than a bigger car.
 
I have the 2009 Maxima.

First off. Infiniti and Lexus are only sold in The United States. As luxury versions of nissan and toyota. This is just another mean of getting more money out of people who want to fall for the marketing.

I agree the G35 is a Maxima. I agree I would love to have an AWD Maxima. As for rear wheel, I am not sure. I had to help this guy push his 6 series BMW when it got stuck in the snow. Snow conditions Rear Wheel SUX!

C/S I'm in northern Va and I have a rear wheel drive 4runner...shoulda took that deal the dealer offered me on the 4x4. I have a 09 maxima and it got around dam good in the ice and snow.
 
Funny how the people who owned Maximas has so many. Because they kept fucking up I guess. Nissan's are shitty in quality and always has been.
 
I'm 6'1 and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about :smh:

You just want to make your compact vehicle sound greater than it is, I understand. It is a performance vehicle, we all know this but it's a different class.

Civic is a compact.

G is a luxury compact.


Maxima is full size car, it hasn't been considered a compact since 1988.

Look it up and stop lying about your height.
 
Any 04-08 Maxima owners have any transmission problems?? or any problems for that matter. In the market for one but I keep hearing about the trans issue..may have to get a accord.

Hey dick head good don't post, its cheaper to lease a brand new car than buy a used 2 to 4 yr old car. People who buy infiniti's usually were upgraded from having a Nissan... Have you even owned a Maxima or any Nissan vehicle for that matter?
 
Yea, im looking at either an evo, 335 or * gulp *...GTR, but that 60K used price tag * phfew *.

I'm thinking about fuckin with a used GTR myself... I figure in 2012 I can cop a 2008 or 2009 model for 50k.
 
I've had 2 Maximas. A '98 with a supercharger, exhaust, intake and a '03 with Titanium package (helical LSD) to which I rebuilt the engine: overbored, balanced, high comp pistons, HD bolts, shaved heads, ported & polished, headers, exhaust, intake, external computer-dyno tuned. Believe me, neither one of those cars could be touched by anything not an M3 or similar.
And FWD is just fine, it just understeers. Just like RWD oversteers, doesn't matter. AWD is the move. In the 80s Nissan was talking about putting the Skyline badge and drivetrain in the Max. That's what they should have done since the platform is the same except for AWD. Of course the straight 6 would replace the V-8, but that's what the JDM Max WAS.
Nissan took the Fairlady and badged it M-35 or M-45 for USDM and redesigned the Skyline on the Max platform and rebadged it GTR. All-in-all, those of us who were waiting for the Skyline just didn't get it. The Ms are heavier and slower because of the extra insulation and electronics.
I got sick of it and when I totaled my '03 Max, I got a Legacy. I'm up to stage 3 now and believe me, ain't many can run with me. AWD has always been the best drivetrain- F-1 cars use it- it's just also always been the least gas efficient. Tires too. But I can go like a motherfucker in the snow and with launch control, nothings beat me off the line yet.
 
If you want a pussy magnet w/ the performance to match, that's a good idea.

Wonder how much insurance is on that beast tho?

Funny you mentioned insurance I just got a quote from Geico all they want is 1700 per 6 months in NYC... Not to bad considering.
 
Nissan made the car of your dreams it's the gtr-skyline not even their Infiniti line got a car with that much balls under the hood,oh yeah I know it's like 50,000k more.. Step your game up you want their best, pay for the best :dance::dance:
