Matt's (goglio704) 82 sedan

[goglio704]

SteveS was kind enough to send me some pics of the Maxima. Thought I'd share.
















P.S.

WTB: passenger side turn signal.

It looks exactly like my gasser...nice!

Looks like you need a front right marker assy, not turn signal (which is in the bumper).

I think I'd try the dealer for that, as it's nearly impossible to find good ones in the JY.

You might want to order a set of center caps for the alloys too.

That sure is one nice looking Maxima!

Al, you wouldn't happen to have a part number would you? No hurry. I hope that part is still available from Nissan. I'm hoping to make it down there soon. Probably not this weekend, but next - I hope. Employer expects me to do things or they stop paying me - you know how it goes.

What, you don't like Nissan's FAST program?

RF Side Marker Assy, 26180-W2400, $41
LF Side Marker Assy, 26185-W2400, $41

That includes the socket, the base/reflector, that gasket, and a bulb!

The alloy wheel centre cap is trickier: the Parts Catalogue lists two numbers, and I can't figure out what distinguishes them.

Ornament, 40342-W2200, $21
Ornament, 40343-W1500, $21

If I was forced to guess, I'd guess that the first number is the one I'd order, but

Employer expects me to do things or they stop paying me - you know how it goes.

Can you believe it? I'm pretty much got mine trained (employers can be hard to train, but the results are rewarding).

That's not bad for the front marker. I need a right side for my wagon.

I can check my center caps on my car, they have the part # on them and were ordered from Nissan NOS about 5 years ago. They were $11 each then.

That's a very nice looking sedan, the paint must be two shades of silver. I'm waiting for the troubleshooting and discovery when you get this home and start working on it.

Platinum Grey Metallic over Fox Silver. It's fully optioned when you have the 2-tone paint.

It will be tough not to tear into the front end while I'm still on the road.

Thanks for the numbers Al. As for FAST, I don't know. It doesn't sound fun, is it worthwhile?

I'm not sure, but it's better than nothing, which is pretty much where you are now. It doesn't seem to screw up the rest of the system, that's something.

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it. I need a fiche reader, or better yet, a fiche scanner.

I found that I have an NOS one, the latter part number. I went looking for it and actually found it the second place I thought it might be, which is pretty good considering how much Maxima junk I have an over the four disparate locations I keep it all.

As usual, click on image for larger:


I would put its OD at just a smidge over 2-17/32" and under 2-9/16". Hope that helps.

[goglio704]

Why are these centers missing so often? I've never really looked into it. The retention system must be poor. Is there a good way to improve on it?

[asavage]

Did you click on the image to see the larger version? Check out the plastic fingers that are supposed to grab the rim.

Now imagine plastic outgassing over 20+ years, and the tire jockey trying to figure out how to get the rim on his machine.

Personally, I'd RTV them in, between tire changes. A dab or two of clear RTV on the backside sounds about right. You usually can't buy clear RTV at your FLAPS though. I forget where I bought my last tube, probably at the hardware store.
