HA. I'm a virtual Japanese car database, junior.
The Maxima never caught on as a sports/racing car. They were always limited by their transmissions. Even the SE models from the late 1990s that came in manual transmission, the most coveted models to use as tuning cars, were still sub par. You can improve the car to your heart's desire, but the gearbox remained a weak link. That would be why the following with those cars is slim to none, while Hondas as old as the late 1980's still have have a worldwide following, as well as those from the mid 1990's that are to this day competative sports cars with the ever evolving aftermarket.
The only thing going for the later model Maxima is the fact that it is equipped with the VQ engine. Other than that, it's pretty useless here in the States unless you have baby seats in the back. I know you guys in NZ might still get manual Maximas, but they're still no sports car.
Sorry for polluting the photo thread, but I'm not going to have someone call me out like that after trying to be smug.
