[Jim Bell]

Oh and obv merge with the question thread so nobody sees it or replies.

WOULD. The end.

I've seen this one before, best Maxima generation styling wise imo. You should definitely buy it!

 

Personally I'd swap the ugly euro bumper with the original US (JDM?) one though, and get this (imo) nicer looking grille for it:

Honest john seems to like 'em well enough. Cam chain, reliable overall, watch out for neglected oil changes. Soggy handling. Parts may need to come from the US to keep the price down.

Thats the wrong generation, the one above on Ebay is the J30 gen.

Oops! Ta. So, is it still a chain driven engine? Difficult to tell from wikipedia...

[Schaefft]

Considering you can buy kits for it, all of them seem to have had timing belts:

The seller mentions the timing belt has been done, so hopefully its safe to assume its a belt!

Look like nice comfy seats them like.

Geordie over on RR had a nice example. Drop him a message with any questions, IMO.

 

They also do good burnouts when you don’t fancy a barbecue.

Fat primera with extra decadence but not the handling? Or maybe its just big boned

I had one about 15 years ago and really liked it.  Fantastic torquey V6, the thing went up hills like a steam train, nice interior too.  Felt quite expensive. handled like most Japanese cars of its era.

 

When speaking to a Maxima specialist at the time he said the worst fault on them was the manifold bolts, they broke/rusted and were a nightmare to repair.  Perhaps worth checking those.

Am I the only one who thinks Brown Trout, along with Bono, has the Edge?
