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 refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
