best Maxima ever IMO.. and I have owned a 1998 SE and a 2003 SE 6MT
Hah. The Maxima has been down since I lost third and forth gear. Before that one I had a VG 3rd gen that I sold to my cousin- and a wrecked 5-spd VE I stole the transmission from and all the parts to do the swap. Life got in the way for a while, and well, now I have a couple big tupperware containers with a bunch of rusted transmission parts. Most of the main parts were sealed (fortunately the transmission), but it set me back about $400 or so, plus it needs a bunch of front end chassis work too. The Sentra is mechanically in better condition and cheaper to work on so it makes sense she is my DD.
Also, I vaguely remember something like that going down on the Org- and I think I know
exactly who you're talking about. They're a bit harsh on newcomers who aren't used to forum etiquette- but it sounds like you just messed with the wrong 'mod' or something. ohwells.

Plus with your posts, you have single-handedly restored some of my faith in new members. Thanks, I needed that.
Welcome once again.
Thanks again for the comments. I agree with you Shawn B. that forums seem to be a dying breed... It's exciting to know there are still strong communities out there that share a sense of camaraderie

Thanks, Nissan really knew what they were doing in the early 90's. Miles ahead of the competition in terms of price range. I bought it with 122k and it has 129,xxx now. The SE-R was listed on craigslist and I took the drive up to Jacksonville beach to take a look. The owner was an obvious non-enthusiast and knew very little about the car, and was unaware that it was an SE-R or what that even meant. I bought it on a whim and couldn't even take the car home with me until the following day after I was good and sick with buyers remorse- frantically looking on craigslist of what I could have bought instead. But that cool February morning, on that hour ride home the next day it really gave me time to connect. Through the windy wooded backroads it hit me- grinning ear to ear as the SR hummed happily and effortlessly in every gear, nimbly jaunting into corners. It's a great car with loads of potential and I'm truly happy with it- I'm excited about seeing what I can do with it.
