love what you did with the timing belt cover.

 

more pic and updates..


made motormounts...





when i pull out the motor ima beautify them

suspensin is done, had to cut off about 3 inches on each side and brace the left side due to it being soo close to the sway bar bolts, the right side i cut at the welds so no need to brace there.






more goodness to come

 

I've been thinking of doing something like that but not exact, more of an inspection panel....

 

or maybe have these poking out

started building my tunnel today, will post pics, latah!

 

Yeah, I thought about buying these same cam sprockets to give me optimum adjustability since I'm running Isky cams, Customized Pacesetter headers, Custom JWT CAI, AFR, Mallory Ignition, etc...running cams with a slight bit of advance is like nite & day especially down low and thru midrange rpm.....at any throttle position.....

 

^ how hard are cams to install? considering getting some JWT VG30E ones

Big E needs moar pics

 

Easy as hell out of the car....you might have to remove the Xmember and exhaust and jack the engine upward to slide them in......no removeable cam bearing....

 

out of the car as in the engine out right? is it worth it?

 

Let me see if you can insert from the rear of the head.......

 

No them can only slide from the sprocket/timing belt side.....in> Yes it's worth it but I'm sure you can angle the engine upward enough to insert them....I love mine, they're The Isky .425" lift/256* duration...I purchased Thru Courtesy Nissan (Nissan Motorsport) they compliment the JWT ECU, and headwork really well, the beast is extremely tracteable and throttle sensitive.....step into it about 1/4" throttle and you're by yourself....I also run about 15* BTDC ignition as well! Sorry I'm taking over your thread E-DOG!!!!!!

 

dont trip i got a thread reclaim photo coming soon!!

 

the redemption!!!


tunnel shroud being mocked up,



rear part of the tunnel almost complete




the metal supply and goods/tools to keep me goin





still wondering what to do with this support frame might cut it and support it from the bottom



suggestions??

 

I say drill some holes along it and foam fill it.

 

Time for some D.O.T. tubing or that wonderful square tubing!!!!! Ladder frame the floor....dude or lower that powertrain more!!!!!!

 

bump!!!











tunnel is almost done!!!

 

You don't think you need to box that lateral brace together and not relyon those floor panels to carry those forces....The floor will crack?

 

Nice work though!!!!!

 

right where the lateral bar is there is a brace on the bottom, i shouda took a picture of that, but since i got the tunnel figured out, im going to use a hoop design to continue the bar ovet the tunnel.


thinking about making a "X" member.....

 

Yeah that's the ticket...the hoop design will maintain the unibody rigidity in the flooring

 

bump....










bay sprayed with rubberized undercoating, seam sealed the tunnel and sprayed the bottom

 

fiberglassed and carbon fibered the tunnel

oh **** LOL!!




dont think ima wrap the entire tunnel in carpet, gonna let some of the carbon fiber shine.

 

Dude, do you s*** out carbon fiber? I always see you using a crazy amount for other goodies on your car. It's coming out nice btw, very nice work.

 

nice work

 

awwwh hell might as well finish the tunnel, gonna give it a few days to cure then ill put in rivets to atach it to the tunnel more securely






as it sits now with the valve covers removed for paint

 

What are those 2 black hoses fuel lines or coolant heater hoses?

 

But why do the DETT when you can make 600+ with the VG30ET? Simply sick man. I've always wanted to see a RWD Maxima.

And please tell me this is on Z31P. I don't recall seeing it but I suppose I missed it somehow...

 

the ones with the AN fittings are for the cooler and the other 2 are for the filter relocation, just havent cut it yet

 

That looks like a VG30ET or a VG30E with a Different intake!!!! It's definitely a SOHC V6....not a DOHC!

 

its a VG30ET from a Z31

 

So what is the OP talking about in #107?

 

Must have confused the motor? They two are pretty different in looks though, no idea.

 

yeah im lost too with post 107, the 2nd gen was a FWD VG30ETT and now its going to be a RWD VG30ET with a Z31 turbo engine

Big E has legendary Maxima status lol

 

This is crazy, another person turning FWD to RWD. Keep it up man.

 

*

 

I know that. Read his original posts. He talks about doing the VG30ET now and the DETT later on.


Do none of you guys read?

 

Cant wait to see the video of it running..

 

I guess not everyfreakin word to the "T".....lot's of orgers kinda float around and check up on things like I do!!!!!!
Yeah from post#9....just saw it guess I forgot about that small post.....

 

Man this is coming along great bro!! I look forward to the next update!!!

 

My maxima is RWD lol this is one sickk build. cant wait to see some drifting videos or somthing hahah
