Maxima on cl, enlighten me


Recommended Posts

I know a rough history of this car, remember seeing at Canby in '09 I think.  Know it was sold by the guy who built it to someone else who might not have cared as much.  Not sure.  Ad sounds douchebaggy, anyone know any particulars?  I don't believe it gets good mileage as the ad states.  Don't think the 2.8Ts ever did get great mileage?

2.8 turbo got about 19 mpg hiway with a 3 spd auto with stock 3.54 rear end.

 

With a 5 spd, you could flirt with 25 mpg or maybe a little bit better. IF you stay off the pedal on the right. ;-)

The person who built it pass away probably the guy that was at Canby in 09. His wife sold it in like 2011 or 2012 went to a guy who was a member here a short time, he bought for $1200. Me and him talked, he did fix a lot of stuff that needed attention until he put it up for sale he offered it to me but I already had my mind set on my 810. He kept it longer and sold it to the current owner which has already tried trading it for something else. To be honest I've seen a video of it and it doesn't sound like its a happy car maybe he messed it up? It's a great looking car sucks it falls into bad hands but hope someone that appreciates it grabs it.

The kid who owns it now wontt even respond to me and a few others emails, ive wanted that maxima for years, it looks bad, and is a unique lil car, id drive the shit out of it, but the dude just cant seem to respond to any emails, even offered him the 3k it sold for, or even trades, i know my mom emailed him to to no response.  Pretty much given up on that car, always wanted it, but obviously fate is telling me fuck no >.>

Well, just called him, caught him driving.  He said he'll look at the pictures I sent and call me back later.  The white hardbody isn't anything that special, but it will definitely drive over there and back.  We shall see yet again.

I texted him again today and he reads and doesnt respond, to me if not interested you just answer no thank you.   Good luck with getting it man, ive always wanted it since the first time i saw it at bl and canby, just seems its not in my cards if the kid cant respond.  Sucks i offered him my pathi plus 1k on top well over the value he wants with it.

 

 

Also remember this, check teh crank pulley, last time he had it on CL, the crank pulley had broken off, so make sure that repair was done correctly.

Gotcha.  I'm not holding high hopes.  Did you ever call him?  I respond to everything, but a lot of people don't think you're serious if you don't actually call.  This kid may just be not very serious about selling it though.  Haven't gotten a call back yet.  I'll be racing tomorrow, so probably not going to pay a whole lot of attention to the phone.

left a vmail and texted pics and info of my trades . shows he reads it and never responds.   im just giving up on it, i was actually willing to trade my 610 for it, but obviously fate is saying no for a reason.

Damn, someone in Salinas CA needs to jump on this one! Shouldn't be turbo diesel, but who knows.

Yeah that's member DatsunMotorSports car he's been trying to sell it for awhile now he did a lot of recent maintenance on it too. His built thread of the Datsun Maxima Wagon "910R" with the RB25 swap is pretty need he's finished that one but has bad problems with the H190 he needs another h190 with the big spline side gears. He's on the Facebook Ratsun page a lot so most of the post are there and also on that turbo diesel.

Well I just sent him a text inquiring if he really wanted to sell the Maxima, because it didn't seem to me that he does.  Haven't heard back.  Fuck me, why do douchebags end up with cars they don't appreciate that they won't let anyone have?  Fucking sad.
