this thing if frigin awesome, make sure you go thru all of the pages though

 

The car is crazy but did you rea about the clearance issue. Surprised the things were able to be stuffed into the rims.

 

yeah no kiddin

 

Yeah, that car is awesome. My hat goes off to the guy for doing all that work. Definitely stands out beyond all the rest!!

 

if that thing really has 281 hp it sohuld be in the mid 13's

id like to see dyno proof and wheather or not thats WHP or BHP

 

yeah really, I wonder what it will actually be if he actually can and does put in that turbo kit

 

If he really had 281hp, he would be spinning his tires all the way down the track. Its an 89, he has no LSD.

 

It is a very nice Max. I am surprised he isn't an .org member.

I think that hp number must be after a turbo is installed. I don't think those mods would more than double hp over stock to the wheels without some kind of boost.

MrGone, Spipedong or LittlePiggie can correct me if I'm wrong, but Maximan has a V2 supercharger, CAI, catback and MEVI on his VQ and he pulled around 280 hp at the wheels.

 

What is an LSD? And what models are they found in

 

that guy posted his website on here not too long ago so he is on .org, but I dont remember his name

LSD is limited slip differential (search google for more info), 92-94SEs have it

 

Limited Slip Differential and they came on some VE equipped, ie 92-94 SE models. The best way to check if you have one is to look at the tranny code on the firewall of the engine bay. If the tranny code ends in a V (I think that is the letter, someone correct me if I'm wrong) then you have a VLSD, which is a Viscous LSD, meaning that it uses fluid to split the torque to the two wheels. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm is a great site for more detail.

 

RS5F50V is the whole code for the lsd tranny
RS5F50A is the tranny without the lsd.

 

That would be on a stick.
Some of us have A/T LSDs

 

yeah, i only know the manual tranny codes.

 

Still ends in a "V"

 

probably RE4F02A and RE4F02V then... but i'm not positive.

 

That guy has a very nice car. I think his user name is 89maxse-t on the org. Not sure though.

 

that built *N/A* VG30 makes a case against all of the arrogant VE and VQ superiority. you can swap an LSD from a VE into a VG max if you swap out all the axles and knuckles and bearings. it is neither cheap nor fun but can be done.

 

Chad, I want a set of GTR wheels

Dave- I dont think your LSD is working, I went up the 76 hill a few hours ago and wasnt jerking the wheel around at all.

LSD turns a one tire fire into 2 tracks.

 

Yeah but if it can be done to a SOHC 12V then you can get even more out of a DOHC 24V

 

your ricer math isnt wanted around here Mr. Automar man

 

ricer math =

 

Ricer math????
it beats out mopar math

 

shawn, i can locate a set of GTR wheels for you. but you have to buy them!

brian, wait til i build my N/A vg and i'll show you the timeslip, buddy.

i saw a skyline yesterday parallel parked on magnolia in NOHO. i did a double-take, then parked and walked up to it. it was an R33 GTS25t, oxblood red metallic, black leather, RHD. my awe slightly diminished when i saw it was autotragic. but it was beautiful. people gathered around it. my dad was with me and he said "oh. i can see why you like these so much." (geez. bout time).

 

Some inconsistencies:

*IF* and I mean if he has a 281hp na VG. That would require some serious compression(well over 11:1. prob closer to 11.5 or 12:1) and some serious breathing mods, He's not going to get much for hp when he puts the turbo stuff on.

He really needs a set of headers

Nice car though!

 

good luck...last all motor VG 3rd gen only broke 15.3, its was an auto though. all motor streetable VG Maxima = watse of time IMO

 

281whp - no way in hell.

 

didn't the site say turbo stuff was going in summer of 03? summer of 03 is now past so if he was right the turbo stuff should be in and that possibly is the number he's pushing. the mods he has with a turbo should easily put him in the 280 hp area with enough boost.

 

he isn't boosted yet...last time he posted(not on the Org) he wasn't started with the turbo part yet. I think what he said is most of the numbers or whatever are his estimates he seems like a cool guy though, so I doubt he's trying to BS

 

i see your side of the fence. are you sure it was only 15.3, though? that is really crap. embarrassing, actually.

i think a built VG would need to be taken far into a total internal world of deep-pocket sacrifice. but would be cool bragging rights *if* done. from other threads i have started and read about this topic, it is generally not worth the gains for a VG project.

better to stick with the project S14.

 

Why Da Hell Would Anyone Put As Much Money In A Vg When You Can Drop A Ve Which Drops Your 1/4 By Atleast 1 Sec. Not Only That It Was A Freakin Auto!!!! Lets Make A Guess That The Mods Cost About 5g's On The Low End. Why Not Drop In A Skyline Engine (lol). But What's Wrong With Dropping In A Ve Engine Then Turboing The Hell Out Of It!!! Then Adding In Some More Mods To Add Into The Performance And Looks.

 

no its not crap its called INNOVATION.....much more than what goes on in this forum as of late other than a few memebers!! Skymax was one of the if not still one of the only guys who was gung ho enough to go all out on the VG from the crank up to the intake...how many other VG 5spd or auto are even out of the 16's? thats a lot more than I can say for many of BSers(no one in particular) on here who know nothing of the past projects that have occured long before they registered.

as for turdlet.....did you think before you wroe that last post?? lets see the VG has only proven itself in both the street/strip and full race scene as one of Nissan most tried and true blocks with a decent amount of aftermarket valvetrain and internal mod support, why would you NOT build off that base?? Ignorance is bliss. the VE is far from God.

 

I feel as if I was taught a lesson I always thought that the VE is a better engine. I seriously need to take my max to a track and test the VG for myself.

 

technology wise the VE is more advanced as it should since it was introduced in 92...but IMO as far as being one of Nissans most widely used and nearly bullet proof motors from 1985+ the VG 9 out of 10 takes the cake(aside from the more hardcore non-stateside Nissan blocks like the SR and RB)

 

what does IMO mean?

 

for nearly the same price as a jdm ve i did a turbo vg swap and dropped my 1/4 by a second or more. since my engine has a turbo it would be much easier to get more power out than a n/a ve as well. i just have to do some building up on my stock maxima engine now. i'm thinking vg30dett crank and rods, forged pistons 8.5:1 or 9:1, full head work, you know... the works. lol.

 

Man, when are ya just going to drive the damn thing?!
