good stuff bro, glad to see an update, seems to be coming right along.

good music too haha

 

Great work man!! Can't wait to see her on the ground!

Lol all these years I always imagined you looking like the dude in your avatar. Of course seeing the size of your arm in the first vid, it's not too far off!

Hey keep up the great work bro!

 

Good stuff man, you're gettin there. I like how you told the engine to start beforehand, I can relate. Sometimes it just takes some motivational words

 

just read whole thread from start to finish...lots of dedication..props to you.

 

this thread is the only reason I come on the org anymore. keep up the good work

 

so glad to see a mad scientist doing what comes to him in his dreams. i would love to see a real wheel drive 5th gen or hell when the next gen comes out.
my only thought and question is . why not a ls1 swap out of a camaro or vette? that max would be a rocket with a small block chevy.

very very good work though man i do commend you man .

 

Using a Chevy V8 swap is boring and unoriginal. I'm glad to see that he used a Nissan engine in a Nissan vehicle.

 

meh domestic engines in imports is gross, that and i thought the LS1 cookie cutter fad was over

good to see it finally running E

 

1st time you take this to a meet please have someone take a pic of everyones face when you do a rwd burnout

congrats

 

Unfortunately, placing a small block Chevy engine into other cars has been around for decades, and is unfortunately not going away any time soon.

 

I would do a 280z swapped with a domestic V8....it's a beautiful combo!

 

like i said once before, once the car is carbed or barred (im shure im following all the rules) the engine possibilities will open up, wanna really put in a vh45 or a vh43, but id have to have the auto-stick

finished the swaybar spacers today, raining outside will prolly install tomorrow

 

join the club and put a vh45 in it. its easy to wire and should fit the car nicley you may even be able to run the stock exhaust manifolds on the 2nd gen and you can leave it auto or manual trans your chioce .im going to post some up dates on the v8 max soon.

 

handmade sway bar spacers and bought poly bushings

 

This car is something else meng.

S

 

Well done swaybar relocation blocks......

 

A VH45 with VVT from a 90-95 Q45 would be awesome. Get one now while they're still cheap, since that engine is starting to catch on in popularity with the 240 drift guys.

 

any updates, this car driving yet

 

Love this, glad you got it running!

 

updates...... well put on all the wheels was gonna go around the block then i found out that one side is sticking out 3/4 of an inch more, so i ripped out the subframe mounts and am rechecking them now and painting it while i got it out

 

Pics of just one side with the wheels on please?????.......Pretty Please?????

 

before the "slide" LOL





after





while i had it out might as well paint it...

 

Big E Dog you're build is incredible. Props for keeping your dreams alive, especially when you did that Twin Turbo setup.

 

Glad you were able to fix the setup......Are you using plumbobs too ensure proper alignment or close enough too be aligned to factory spec or track spec?

 

In for an update!

 

Bump for an update. One of the very few threads I've read start to finish. Amazing work!

 

Monthly update please :-)

I wonder what's your weight distribution going to be like when it's all buttoned up? And total vehicle weight? Also, what power numbers are you shooting for?

 

 

Any believe it's taken me like 3 years to find this thread.. So amazing.. E-dog you are it!

and for the update guys...... interior is in, waiting on rear struts ill take pics of the stance tomorrow...

 

awwwwww yeah

does it start and idle better now?

 

this thread makes me miss my 2nd gen...my first max...sold it for down payment on silverado...i still see around town, i park next to it sometimes...is that creepy?

 

yeah, still has some "brown gas' in it tho when the fuel filter turns brown then it starts running like ****, think im gonna change the black fuel hoses fot the ones with the nylon sleve in the middle.

 

yeah probably best to idle out the old gas and change the fuel filter with a fresh tank of gas after

 

Put some Injector cleaner thru it too while burning off ALL the old fuel and kill 2 birds with one stone....I love that car it looks like Mad Max's ride I'm happy for you dude and happy you were able toinspire so many ppl.....

 

it has a whole can of seafoam to 5 gallons of cas so im shure the injectors are clean lol!

and thanks.

 

BUMP!!!

was wondering why didnt you use the 1st gen maxima or 280zx rear sub frame. by the looks of it it seems that the 280zx setup would of been a lot easier to do but im sure the 240sx set up is more superior.. was just a question.

 

I'm going to go on a limb and say availability. 240sx parts are in abundance, and finding their subframes are relatively easy/inexpensive.

 

^ just that, i got a whole complete subframe for 50 bucks.

sorry the video is a bit shotty, just showing that it is driveable, i went around the block, cant go that far due to no reg or insurance.
