Picked this up yesterday... Its a 94 Nissan Maxima GXE. 71k original miles and pretty damn clean. I have a previously purchased 2/4 hydraulic setup that will be going on the car. Also some sheetmetal work and some other goodies.... Not going really crazy with this build, just a clean juiced daily.:) I'll post pics when the time comes:nana2:

I had a 93 back in the day. It was a GXE. I miss the hell out of that car. It had almost 100,000 on it when the bank came a took it. My wife neglected to tel me we were 2 1/2 months behind until it was too late.
I used to roll that car up to 120 mph all the time. Oh what fun it was.

Ended up taking my Maxima to Jeremy @ Tre5 Customs for the install... I have no way of taking install pics, so I stole these from him... Lol. He was hoping on parts being delivered this evening, but no dice... So not really any pics suspension-wise... I will post pics ASAP...

^^^Jeremy was originally going to mount the pumps in the spare tire area, but went with my request of mounting them on the sides of the trunk area... He found out the spare tire area is oddly shaped for mounting the pumps... More pics to come...:nana2:

^^^Driverside pump mounted... Jeremy ran the hardline/bulkheads this way "to avoid the curvature of the unibody rail under the car."

^^^Front and rear upper mounts... The powerball passes through the upper plate on the front mount... Jeremy will later drill and tap the tops for the grease fittings... Powerball on the rear mount is welded to the bottom of the plate...

^^^Passenger side pump mounted... The bulkheads did not need to be staggered but Jeremy did it anyways to match the driverside...

^^^Now the weird rear suspension... Lol. In the first pic, you can see the hub is welded to the strut. The brakes bolt to the hub and strut assembly. Jeremy cut the strut right under the factory coil bucket, allowing the cylinder to go all the way to the bottom of the factory strut. Jeremy drilled a hole on the bottom of the strut for the fittings. He also drilled and welded nuts on the stock rear struts and the ones he made up front. The nuts will receive bolts to act as set screws to try and keep noise to a minimum...
