I'm putting a jet engine in my Max. I have it hidden in my pool so the Feds don't confiscate it. Real cars don't put power through the wheels.. LOL

Sorry... I meant dark gray. I keep getting confused because his car looks black in some pics. Do you have any pics of your max?? I'd like to see it since you say it's one of the best 3rd gen's. Thanks

he's put into it.I have not seen a cleaner max than his,
or any other ride period.Everthing in his car is customized,the grill, leather, and of course the motor.To
me his car is one of a kind.By the way SkyMax his car was never BLACK, it's GRAY and it's always been.I should know,
I've known him for years, and we both have some of the best 3rd gen max's in phoenix..

LOL... you waited too long. They used to be $80 each and then they raised the price to $90. Two of my team mates from my car club bought those rims from that special deal. My team mates already recieved the Fubuki's and the one guy installed the rims on his car. They are really nice looking rims. Discount Tire is a pretty reliable company. You'll love the way the look on your max. You are a smart man to get in on that deal.

Yo guys, I don't know if either of you thought noticed this or what... but, I think those Enkei Fubuki rims will come STOCK on the new SE-R Sentra... check this pic:

<img src=http://aoanissan.tripod.com/galsentraser02.jpg> & <img src=http://aoanissan.tripod.com/galsentraser021.jpg>

here are the Enkei's:

look indentical.. When the SE-R comes, I can see Max owners jumping on those rims like they are doing on the 97-99 16" 5 spokes. I was gonna order them when they were 80$ too, I had enough for the rims, then I started having doubts about those holes near the lip, i thought it would look corny.. Dam, shoulda got them, still might.. someday.... Hey bull, u better post pics of your car with the rims as soon as you get them!!!!! or else, i'll kick ur VG *** all over this forum :laughing:

The VG30ET engines cost more because they are rare and to find one in good condition is very hard. If you go to Z31.com you will see that people who blow their engines sometimes buy Maxima VG30E engines to swap in since it's cheaper and is easier to access. Vitaly's max does have alot of torque steer... He breaks loose in 3rd gear. Opps.. I think I spoke too much. That's enough out of me..

Sorry Skymax, but the VG30ET's are not hard to find. Everywhere I called they had at least one, and I'm in Tennessee. There may not be any US engines, but you can get one from Japan easily. I did pay for it though, $1,400 for a complete engine with under 35k miles(even came with plug wires!). I found only two cheaper ones, $400 for one that had probably 2k miles and no turbo and another that had no alternator or turbo for $1,200. If anyone's looking, I can give you #'s to call to get an engine.
