Did you keep the Maxima long?

Kids needed more room and I traded my R31 GTS for a new 1994 model...biggest mistake I ever made

About 4 yrs.

Great engine & never needed any oil but... but... but...

Its brakes were woeful, cornered like a dog, steering was too light, A/C compressor broke down (common fault apparently) and

lastly, the depreciation on Maximas was something that shocked me to the bottom of my pockets. Replaced it with an E36 320i back then for my dear wife. At least it was swapped for a RWD.

62....... I tried growing up once, but didnt like it !!!

Hi Clive,

I've been wondering what benefit us Seniors derive from being on SAU other than being a 'pin-cushion'? :blink:

Does SAU Qld give you a Senior's Card even tho' you're from Byron Bay? ;)

If we get any older, should we have a special subforum so that we can reminisce in private? :banana:

Can you remember when a hubcap could hold a full 500ml of chunder from windy roads & cars that cornered like dogs?

Can you remember when eggs were wrapped in newspaper?

Can you remember when fresh milk was emptied out of large canisters > ice man > bread cart + Clydesdale > chooks > fireworks + bungers ????????

btw this IS a thread about age? Or is it the aged? I forget...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
