This is my 1992 Maxima SE. In my attempt to "enjoy the ride" I decided to make some minor
modifications. First, I improved the breathing by getting Stillen's Intake and a Remus
Muffler. I chose the Remus not for performance, but for the looks. I next quickened up the
shifts by installing the Stillen Short throw shifter. Next I improved the braking by installing
the Stillen/Brembo brake kit with the Metal Matrix Pads. Following that I purchased the
complete suspension kit from Stillen. Finally, I bought the 16 inch TSW Imola's and wrapped
them in Nitto NT450's. The car is basically done. It's at the point where it's a very fun
daily driver!

My name's Andy Pearson, I'm 16 from Kansas City MO. I have owned my
'93 Maxima GXE for about a year now. It has 70K+ miles, Bose sound system
and the special tan leather package. Through Stillen I have added a
Stillen K&N filtercharger, cat-back GReddy exhaust system and Pirelli HP
tires. Soon I plan to drop my Maxima 1.75 in. with Intrax springs and
Tokico shocks. I will also be adding much needed thicker sway bars.
Pictures are soon to come!

Alright, here it is. Da Maxima !!! This is my 94 Maxima with a Pacific ground
effects kit, 17" Enkei rims, 4 12" Bostwick woofers, factory Bose speaker
system, Sony 2100G amp, a pair of JBL tweeters, Kenwood head unit, 10 Disc
Kenwood changer, and you can't tell from this picture but I also had the
interior redone in green crush velvet w/ white leather. I will get a picture
of that for you guys to admire in a couple of weeks. I am also going to
change the wing to a super sport mid-wing. I also have the phantom headlight
covers on order. Of course I will send updated photos. My goal is to get into
Lowrider Magazine.

I've owned my cream 91 SE for almost a year. It was bought used with a few
non performance mods. For now it's got those side marker lights that are
mounted on the right and left side quarter panel. In addition to the
factory Bose speakers and amps, a Sony in dash CD player and changer control
has been added. It's the CDX-U8000 model, I've got a 10 disk changer in the
trunk. There's also a Clifford car alarm with window, trunk, and hood
sensors. I can roll down the windows, start the car, and pop the trunk. It
took a while to figure out what those 4 buttons did. The car just did
112K's last month and the only problem it has is that darn LCD clock on the
dash. Unfortunately I had to give up the keys to my little sister since she
needed a car for school. Yea, it's an auto (eeechh). Future plans, when I
make some money, include GReddy exhuast, some sort of K&N Akimoto intake,
springs, headers. But by the time I make a decent salary it would be more
sensible to purchase a later model Max!

I have a 1993 maxima, all equiped. leather, sunroof, 10 disc audio,
digital instruments, etc...
The problem is with the transmission. The car has 30,000 milles and the
transmission is beeing repaired. In Mexico we have problems with the
parts, because it is an imported car. I know about problems in the
transmission of several automatics. Could you give me some comments?
Besides this, the car is excellent.

Hey there, I have a 90 Maxima SE. Basically, I have concentrated on
leisure mods, but I am on the verge of devirginizing the stock suspension
and various engine components. Attached are photos of the cars exterior, and what you can see (poor photo)
of the equipment mounted in the car.

My '94 SE is dark green (black
emerald) and has around 28k miles. It is a 4speed automatic with the
Bose stereo system which I upgraded. I installed a Pioneer CD player
and amplified subwoofers. The car also has an aftermarket sunroof and
tan cloth interior. I plan on installing the front tower brace, intake
modification, and new exhaust. It is a joy to drive. Right now I don't
have a picture of it, but I'm working on that...

I own an '89 Maxima GXE, full luxury options: Leather, pw/ps/pd,
sunroof, etc. I've added a Dinan computer chip upgrade, a Dynomax
Ultra Flow muffler, a high intake K&N air filter cone, NGK platium
plugs and wires, and a custom ram air kit. All these mods were good
for about 35 or so HP resulting in a 16.84 @ 81.4 mph 1/4 mile time.
Quite respectable for an 8 year old luxury sedan but not enough to
compete with any sports car of high caliber. I met a fellow with
a turbo charged Maxima but unfortunately his transmission gave out
on him. Turbochargers and automatic transmissions don't mix although
they are good for low 14 second quarter miles. The same guy had
previously used a nitrous oxide system which gave him high 14 sec
passes with no trouble at all. That is the most recent modification
I've done and I'll let you know how it turns out this April during
the next import race in Texas. :)

I own a black 1992 Maxima GTE. It now has 118,000 hard miles, equal city
and highway driving. I've had to rebuild the transmission at 110,000
miles. The car is OK; rides smooth, but a little sluggish on the pickup.
It's been through many snow storms and other outdoor abuses. The car has
been relatively reliable except for the transmission. I hate the sound
of the beepy horn: can't they install a horn commensurate with the model
and price of the car?

I purchased a 1993 Maxima SE about six months ago. It is white w/black
leather, Bose, Automatic, Sunroof. I think it has everything available. I
have been very pleased except for some minor things. It has the glossy
alloy directional factory wheels and they collect brake so much brake dust
that they are nearly black within 100 miles after washing. At first I
thought something was wrong, but I have noticed this on others with the
same wheels. If anyone has any suggestions to alleviate this problem,
please let me know. I have two friend with Maximas and all three of our
cars seem to really wear the front tires badly. I am very easy cornering
but still the problem exists. Otherwise I am very happy with the car.
Tim Martin (tmartin@runet.edu)
What's up maxima owners. I own a 89 max. with about 90k on the
odometer. I tend to this car, so much that my girlfriend sometimes gets
jealous. She (the car) is a burgundy pearl color with aftermarket
rims. I've installed a 10 disc sony cd-changer w/ remote to the factory
Bose audio system. I too have had to rebuild the transmission due to
computer problems which messed up the pressure of the transmission
fluid. After a big repair she was soon on the road. My stock rims also
picked up brake dust very quickly, but after I bought my five star
polished alloy rims the problem slowed down. Right now I'm thinking of
repainting the spoiler, grill, and trim because of sunfading. My big
question to you owners is where the hell can I get some upgrades. By
upgrades I mean anything pertaining to engine, exhaust, intake, ground
effects, etc... If there are any magazines out there for Maximas let me
know.
Thanks.
