Haha ya i cleared out the garage and squeezed my Z in there, threw some sheets on it (car cover still isn't here) let her ride out the storm nice and dry while i putts around in my Maxima

 

nice Z

OT question though

how u like ur sus setup for ur max?
i gotta 95 max and wanna do kyb-gr2 and h&r springs

i also heard the eibachs are pretty nice...

u got any pics of ur current setup?

 

I love the EIbach set up, with the AGX struts. Its no Z, but compared to my dads max, (The tan '97 behind the Z) it handles like a dream, my website for the maxima has some pics of before and after, here is a link

http://maxima.cardomain.com/id/norel

im known on the maxima.org as Norel, if you have any questions, but i don't really check there as often any more, I spend more time here, The whole set up cost me about 700 bucks including labor. If your from the NY area, Jeff at Maximum tuning does a bang up job, good buddy of mine, and does all things Maxima. their site is http://www.maximumtuning.net

Hope that helps.

 

If some trashy losers stole my Z, I wouldn't ever want it back. Those filthy animals will permantely stench up and ruin your car.

 

Congrats; earned the car & did it w/o dad. You ought to feel good.

Not to put a chill on a terrific day but was your friends death expected? Condolances on that one.

 

The Lojack Recovery System by itself won't do squat for your headlights. You should definitely supplement it with a good alarm (Lojack's or otherwise).

 

are you sure you have an 04 model? where are those new knee pads? blocked by the steering wheel?

 

Be patient and break it in according to the owner's manual. I think its something like stay under 4k rpm for the first 1400 mi. And don't accelerate under full throttle either. I know its tough but it will pay off long term. I didn't follow this strickly but I did for the most part.

When I was 21 I bought a new 93 probe GT when they first came out ( ended up being a POS). It was very rewarding. Hell, buying the 03 CS enth Z at 31 is very rewarding. So congrats and keep working hard.

The passenger knee pad is visible but where is the drivers? I'm surprised they put them in I didn't think they were necessary (I'm 6'2") 'casue there is a ton of space for a sports car.

 

Ya im sure its an 04' says so in the book, on the sticker, and it had the extra lighter.. Id love to find out the build date of the car, not sure how to do it.

As for my friend, he was a good man, I play Everquest, and Dark Ages of Camelot from time to time, and he belonged to a group of people that I played with. We never actually met face to face, but had many many conversations over the net about everything. I decided to name my Z Cristina after him, his last name was Cristie, i figured it was a fitting tribute. He had a brain Anyrysm on Sunday night while playing, and then died in the hospital on tuesday. He was only in his early 30's, and def didn't deserve it, but its the sort of thing that no one could have ever known about, and you just have to take it for what it is.

as for the knee pads im going to go search for them see if i can find 'em.. and maybe even give her her first wash... cheers

There is a production sticker on the driver side door frame. The procution month is there. MIne is an '03. The production month is 6/03. I think the '04s started in 7/03. I bet this is what you have.

 

This get you the month anyhow. I'm not sure how to get the actual day.
