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 mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
