Last Nissan Maxima to Roll Off of the Smyrna Assembly Line

Source Credit: https://www.facebook.com/NissanSmyrna

Last week, Nissan team members celebrated the last Maxima to roll off of the Smyrna assembly line!
Over the last 20 years, the Maxima has helped establish Nissan as a key player in the global auto industry, Smyrna as one of North America’s finest manufacturing plants, and our team members as some of the best technicians on the planet.

Virtually every Nissan Smyrna employee has played a role in creating the Maxima’s legacy. Since the start of Maxima production (all the way back in 2003!), there have been a total of over 1 million Maximas produced. But despite that large quantity, quality never slipped. In fact, throughout the course of its production, the Maxima won five different manufacturing-related J.D. Power awards, including being named the “Best Overall Model” in this year’s J.D. Power Initial Quality Study.

Smyrna is proud to have been the home of Maxima for 20 years. And as we roll forward, the legacy of the Maxima and the team members that built it will go on to inspire the bright future of Nissan Smyrna!

2004+ FX35 Prevent Sunroof Leaks Using Upgraded Drain Hoses

Community Member Credit: Onur Yaşa

As you know common issue for the second-gen FX/QX is the sunroof leak. That leak goes to the floor then kills the modules like the camera etc. The easy and best way to get rid of that leak is just to put another hose to the downside, drain holes in the engine bay.

In that way, you don’t need to break or put the risk of the trim pieces. I used a garden hose and got it to the cabin from the engine bay. when you look at the pics, you will understand. Tested in heavy rain, no issue anymore.

1989-1994 How Kind of 3rdgen Nissan Maxima Do I Have?

Credit: kalebonline

Here’s a quick list to determine your model/engine, etc.

1) Do your windows have chrome trim or black trim? If chrome, it’s a GXE. If black, it’s an SE.
Another way to tell: if your gauges are white text on black, you have a GXE. If they’re black on white, it’s an SE

2) If your Maxima is an 89-94 GXE, you have a SOHC, 160HP VG30E engine.

3) If your Maxima is a 89-91 SE, you have a SOHC, 160HP VG30E engine.

4) If your Maxima is a 92-94 SE, you have a DOHC, 190HP VE30DE engine.
