you think your car is fun, try driving mine.. no weight on the rear end/ in the hatch with bald tires.. oversteer heaven.. ill be turning on to a road and ill go to WOT and it will just swing

Post by **maxima278** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:42 pm

it handles great, but could definitely use more power when coming out of the curve. my tires are a bit bald in the back, that could have something to do with my rear trying to come around. Also I let the clutch out a little too fast one time and it grabbed so hard it broke loose. Made me feel good about the kind of shape my clutch is in.

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:44 pm

heh. i dont have a clutch.. yet

Post by **maxima278** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:45 pm

don't know if I'd want it to slide that much...

Post by **maxima278** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:47 pm

did yours go out on you?

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 7:49 pm

nah.. i got an automatic.. i hate it but my RB will be going in soon so im not worried about it.

Post by **maxima278** » Sat Dec 10, 2005 8:00 pm

mine was an auto too. It also didn't run. My father in law gave it to me with a burned up wiring harness. most of the components on top of the engine and almost everything else in the engine bay was burned to a crisp. The hood and right fender were also charred pretty good too. I got a parts car with a good engine and manual transmission and transferred everything over (after I redid the engine bay), got it running, found a fender and hood. It was white with a black fender and champaigne hood for a long time, but I recently changed it to gray. I did all the body work (not very well) and then had my father in law spray it. I really don't have a whole lot of money invested yet after selling off parts from the parts car

eh, my car is fine.. its just an automatic and it needs a few things that are part of owning a car.. ie: tires, alignment and new bushings.

Post by **maxima278** » Sun Dec 11, 2005 2:46 pm

ahh the joy of used cars

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Sun Dec 11, 2005 3:33 pm

Eh, I stay that way all the time, even with a regular decent paying job.

Post by **Nismochick240** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:25 am

haha me too, i spend all my money on my car lol

Post by **maxima278** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:45 pm

my wife and I both have good jobs, we still can barely keep food on the table after paying all our bills plus 600 bucks a month in daycare! Its good I put my 240 together for so cheap, cause I wouldn't have one otherwise. Probably going to sell the Maxima soon to take the edge off

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 5:48 pm

i stay pretty even in bills even though i spend all my money on my car.

Post by **scs13** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 8:12 am

Don't feel bad, I've been spending on 240s for at least 8 yrs and mine is always down for some reason or another (coming up on 3 months because of a curb, currently). Its the reason I got a daily driver when I got out of school.

Post by **Nismochick240** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:02 am

that's what i need to do. If Ruby Tuesday's turns out to be a pretty good job, I might end up saving up for a 400 dollar beater or something. There are cars that are decent that come through the dealer and they only give them like a 500 trade in value. I pay what the trade in value is haha

Post by **maxima278** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:57 am

I may be need you to hook me up with one after i sell my maxima

Post by **Nismochick240** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:09 pm

i'll see what I can do. It's been rare lately to see one in DECENT shape come in. I check all the time though

Post by **maxima278** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:22 pm

with all your money troubles do you need me to hold off for a while on bringing up those parts I'm selling you? Its ok, I'm not going to sell it to anyone else. ALso, if you know anyone who needs a good daily driver for around 4 grand send them my way.

Post by **Nismochick240** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:24 pm

yea you should post the maxima for sale in the classified forums and in the maxima thread.. you might get it sold quickly

yea hold off on bringing them up until after christmas. Hopefully, I'll hear from Ruby's tonight... i'm gonna call them

Post by **maxima278** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:39 pm

thats good cause I haven't even had time to go down there and remove the parts. I've got it in there. I haven't had good luck trying to sell it there though. probably going to put it in autotrader soon

Post by **Nismochick240** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 12:50 pm

yea try auto trader or just stick a for sale sign on it anytime you park it somewhere lol...

yea save the parts for the 5-lug conversion for me. I appreciate it. I will prolly have money in like 3 weeks. My schedule changed @ d!ck (same hours) but I'll be able to serve on the good nights in a restaraunt and make better money hehe

Post by **maxima278** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 4:00 pm

that's no problem.

so anybody here seen the new Skyline GTR? I have mixed feelings about it, I just wanted to see what yall thought...

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 4:28 pm

lol.. i stayed up that night and refreshed the window just as they unveiled the photos.. im excited about it. it will be a killer..

anyone seen the 07' eclipse? AWD turbo.. i guess they are TRYING to compete with the almighty skyline but.. i highly, highly doubt they will touch godzilla.

Post by **maxima278** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 4:59 pm

eclypses suuuuck! j/k, seriously, I love the new skyline GTR, I think its a beautiful car, but it can't replace the old ones. I'm a big fan of the R32. I'm not sure about the front end of that new one, the back is awesome though.

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 5:13 pm

i ADORE the R32 man.. it just doesnt get better than the R32.. sure, you can say the 33 and 34 are more aggressive with their drag characteristics( talking about the wind drag on the car, aerodynamics) and the ATTESA AWD system may be a little bit more advanced in the 34 but.. the 32 is the lightest and i believe, it has the most potential out of any of the skylines.

Post by **Black on Gold** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 5:39 pm

Wow i've missed alot. Wes, i say this all the time but i love the R33. To me, the r32's look too much like my s14

Post by **JDMEnthused** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 6:48 pm

lol.. S13's have the styling of a MS13 from the A - pillar back.. same for the S14 and R33.. minus a few differences here and there.
