1981 Datson Maxima Diesel Wagon (Now known as Nissan Maxima). Only 150,000 miles, a baby as far as a diesel engines go. This is a rare find! Ready to run biodiesel. Clean interior, body in great shape, power windows, power locks, A/C and heat work. Runs great. Email for pics.

Denver is much closer than Portland!

* Doesn't say if it's AT or MT (but AFAIK there were NO MT Wagons)

* Thought you wanted a Sedan?

* '81 is a weirdy: 3N71b (no OD, no lockup converter). However, swapping in an '82 L3N71b should be a bolt-in with no changes (speculation, but even so).

See the MY Differences Section of the FAQ. Well, there's not much there for 81-82 changes.

AFAIK, we have no '81 810/Maxima owners here.

Let me know if you're interested in it Matt. I saw the ad, and thought about for about 15 seconds. There is no way I could shoehorn another car onto my property.

It sounds like a reasonable vehicle, and it is within reach of some of our members so at least you might have a chance to preview the car via someone else. There is however that 3N71B trans issue that I would not care for it if were an automatic, and the probability of that being so is quite high.

No, it is the automatic I want. Personally, I love the 5 speed, but I could use a backup car for my wife. She can't (won't) drive a stick. My mom drives my lower mileage 5 speed and uses the high mileage for a backup. Spare parts stock is a must in order to keep these cars going, and an automatic diesel Maxima would still have a high amount of commonality. Also, I find these cars decent to work on and have accumulated some knowledge and experience with them. Plus, I have this forum as a resource. That is why I want another one.

I may well take you up on that. I emailed the seller asking for pictures, but have not heard back. If I get pictures and like what I see, you may get to see a diesel Maxima.

Let me know if / when you hear back from the seller.

I'd jump at a chance to run up there and look at it.

Lots!

I tried e-mailing the seller this morning indicating that I am local and would like to possibly see the car.

[glenlloyd]

Well he's going to get a gluton of emails then, I did too, wanting to know some specifics about the car...lol.
