  1. Believe me, I am well versed in nissan first generation maximas.

     

    Anybody can get a good deal but the 2,000 price is what many sellers ask for when a common man with no mechanical experience looks for a replacement L28.

     

    I will be soon selling my first generation turbocharged maxima for around 500 bucks compete with 5 speed kit (uninstalled) and R200 installed if anybody wants a first generation maxima with high mileage but in pretty good shape............unless hurricane IKE does something bad to it.

     

    This car is a hurricane magnet and in the 4 years I've owned it the eyes of hurricane Charlie, Frances, Jeanne, and then Wilma have passed over it and only a pencil eraser sized dent on the roof.

     

    Wherever it goes, hurricanes show up.

  2. Sweet sweet sweet!!

     

    As clean as that cuda machine is, I'll venture a guess you are surely not at a toyota dealership or that thing would be a skanky mess.

     

    That RB tranny sure looks a lot like the implementation used in the pathfinders and Z31 turbo from late 1987 on.

     

    Of course........they are rare and the Z32 tranny is not.

  3. BJhines hit this on another thread.

     

    Body ground to engine ground problem.

     

    Your car uses ground to determine zero voltage.

     

    If you have a lifted ground (usually between body and negative terminal) your voltage regulator does not know the actual voltage.

     

    Connect up a pair of jumper cables between the engine and a bolt on top of a strut tower and measure voltage again.

     

    If voltage returns to normal, try either fixing the lifted ground or guarantee body ground by running a ground strap between the engine and the body.

     

    If your car cranks slowly......expect the fix above not fix your problem alone since that fix assumes the big black wire going to the block is fine.
