Did you keep the Maxima long?

Kids needed more room and I traded my R31 GTS for a new 1994 model...biggest mistake I ever made

About 4 yrs.

Great engine & never needed any oil but... but... but...

Its brakes were woeful, cornered like a dog, steering was too light, A/C compressor broke down (common fault apparently) and

lastly, the depreciation on Maximas was something that shocked me to the bottom of my pockets. Replaced it with an E36 320i back then for my dear wife. At least it was swapped for a RWD.

62....... I tried growing up once, but didnt like it !!!

Hi Clive,

I've been wondering what benefit us Seniors derive from being on SAU other than being a 'pin-cushion'? :blink:

Does SAU Qld give you a Senior's Card even tho' you're from Byron Bay? ;)

If we get any older, should we have a special subforum so that we can reminisce in private? :banana:

Can you remember when a hubcap could hold a full 500ml of chunder from windy roads & cars that cornered like dogs?

Can you remember when eggs were wrapped in newspaper?

Can you remember when fresh milk was emptied out of large canisters > ice man > bread cart + Clydesdale > chooks > fireworks + bungers ????????

btw this IS a thread about age? Or is it the aged? I forget...

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
