It\'s replacing that 1990 Max next to it, I\'d keep it but the automagic gave way at 181k miles. Probably because of the bolt-ons I put on and more importantly the way I drove it. :nut: Yes I\'m a Nissan freak, it was either this car or a used 240sx but it\'s hard to find one of those in good condition with decent miles.

With what little cash I have it\'s either performance or stereo first. I\'m leaning towards a new system because I spend lotsa time in the car delivering for Dominoes and commuting to college. Anyways, just excited about the new ride.. what do y\'all think?

Post by: THX on August 19, 2003, 03:33:27 PM: Thanks for the comments. As for rice I\'ve had the one in front of it for about 5 years.. no rice anywhere to be found. :) Just breathing mods and a modest stereo.

LIC- I used to be an office guy for the summer working for a friend, got $12/hr to be bored outta my mind. At Dominoes you get $15/hr weekends to sit on your ass and listen to music. I\'ll take the crap that comes along with it. ;)

Post by: Coredweller on August 19, 2003, 03:54:21 PM: THX: How many miles does this 96 have on it, and how much did you pay? (If you don\'t mind me asking)

Black is the ideal color for a Maxima. Good choice. What are the technical specs on a 96 SE?

Post by: THX on August 19, 2003, 04:03:47 PM: Talked down to a good price, $4600 but it has 130k miles on it. I expect to get 200k out of her since it\'s a manual. Hopefully by that time I\'ll use my degree to get a real job and afford a Carribean Blue G35c. :facelick:

It has the 190hp 3.0L VQ that is still in Nissans today (now bumped to 3.5L and 287hp in the 350Z). Motor Trend got 15.2 seconds in the quarter mile with the 95se. I\'m glad I settled with a V6 rather than a 4-cylinder, I prefer a good torquey engine.

Post by: GmanJoe on August 19, 2003, 07:15:40 PM: NOS it! LED\'s on the wiper fluid thingies! Black light in the cabin! Neon under chasis lights! Type R stickers (even though it\'s a Nissan)! Splash decals! Windshield banners! "Drive it like you stole it" stickers on the rear window! Big thumpin\' bazookas in da trunk! Titanium shift knob! Cut the springs!

and most of all.....

Drive it gangsta style. :)

Actually, keep it the way it is. :D

Don\'t forget the tips for being a delivery guy. The tips if you deliver to rich areas is insane. Sometimes 50 bucks from what I\'ve heard.

who would give a 200% tip?

Post by: THX on August 19, 2003, 09:07:15 PM: One guy at my work got an $100 tip. Said some guy must have accidentally gave him an $100 instead of a $10 bill!. That\'s the most insane story I\'ve heard so far tips-wise. But on average the chicks get close to twice of what us guys get. Most I got so far was $10 from a drunk guy at 12:30 AM.

That wing is way too tiny.

Nice car. Not a bad price. Congrats!

Post by: Lord Nicon on August 20, 2003, 09:50:45 AM: NOS is gay. I say get some Xenons and some non exterior mods. Some headers, new plugs etc. New system, maybe a neat shift knob and some glow pedals for those late nights for starters depending on the amount of mods you plan on getting.

Please, NO GROUND EFFECTS

Post by: THX on August 20, 2003, 11:42:28 AM: Ext mods seems to be debated much. I like to keep it tasteful, all I plan is to lower it no more than 1.5" and get 17" alloys. Lights-wise I\'ll keep it stock except for the diamond cut clear corners I just bought. I was about to buy this one, guy was selling it for $6k and it was decked out performance-wise with a Stillen supercharger to top it all off.

Looks very sporty and no rice at all. Not to mention it hauled ass.. I was kicking myself when someone else snagged it right before I was about to get a loan from the bank. :boom:
