Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

Turbocharged gasser 5 speed SOLD

Post by HowlerMonkey »

1984 Maxima.....sold........I miss it already.

I'll post it here a couple of days before posting it anywhere else.

This car is a high mileage (271,000) car that is in relatively good condition.

The floors have zero rust holes and the entire unibody is solid.

The interior is ugly but complete with semi-dirty cloth seats and dirty carpets. (I'll snap another pic of interior to add here later)

The ball joints are new but fit loose in the control arms which makes lane changes more fun than they should be.

Tires are balding but no cord showing 215/50-15s on 1984 300zx 15x6.5 wheels which don't rub and the wheels did not require any spacers to fit the car.

That being known, it seems 240sx application wheels should also bolt on which makes for a lot larger selection of aftermarket wheels but I haven't tried them.......I think they will work.

225/50s would be better replacements and I don't think they would rub either but the stock 300zx size 215/60s did rub.....they're just too tall.

The rack is not bombed out and it has new boots on it.

All power windows work and A/C worked until compressor seized.

Hoses were cleaned and I have reciever dryer and a functional compressor with a good clutch/bearing combo swapped over to it......just never installed it since it is winter.

I've daily driven this car for the last 50,000 miles after fitting the turbo to it with no troubles other than the automatic finally dying.

It was replaced with what I had which is a noisy maxima manual tranny with a used up act 4 puck clutch and grooved flywheel.

I have the proper length 5 speed driveshaft but front joint causes huge vibration so the slightly shorter driveshaft is in now but I've had no troubles with it.

It shudders upon clutch engagement but most likely still has more grip than a stock clutch.

Rear e-brake cables removed because they were frozen but front section and lever action is smooth.

This car appeals to a very small niche of people and really is a good starting point for either a monster L28et sleeper or a full restoration that would require less work than most any other maxima I've yet seen.......at least at this price.

Some spare parts.........which the rest of the pics at the two links will show why.

I also have a pristine sunroof panel same color.

Also included is a brake hardware kit for the front brakes (nissan....new in packaging)

Image

It's got one of these....

Image

Turbo oil drain without pulling engine or pan (write-up on this site and others).

Image

Super stealth infinity kappas in the rear under stock covers but stock in the doors on a stereo put in the tape player's location such that the original stereo is unmolested.

Image

R200 (3.54.......3.9 would be a much better match with the 5 speed but that's what I have) using s12 r200 mount.....it's bolt in using 280zx c/v type axles.

Image

Yes I took it to the drags and I found the only car that would see this view to race so another check in the win column.

The state of the cap, rotor, plugs, and wires brought down my usable revs by 1000rpms so it should be a bit faster when tuned.

Here's the slip.....

The full good, bad and ugly is shown in the pics in these two zip files because my internet is done through tethering my desktop to a blackberry and sporadic service dictates I don't try to upload each pic individually to my host or I will end up insane.

$500 for everything.
