that's the link

 

lol. that looks so ghetto. it might look decent if he had DECENT body work. he just removed hte stock lights, and pushed in some accord altezzas or somethin.

 

Where can I get those? TOOOOOOOOO SWEEEEET!!

 

it matche's the rim's but they definetly need to get them in there better. It look's like a cheap fix from a rear end accident. I think i notice a dent at the corner of the car at the top near the trunklid where it meat's the body, and the trunk lok's like it came off another car, notice the space between the body and trunk near the dent. But with a little worrk i think it could look real good on that color with those rim's, atleast he had the ***** to try it, i wouldn't of ****ed with mine unless i new it would come out perfect

 

I dont like how that looks, completly unprofesional, and looks like theres a dent on top of the lights, and they dont even fit right, not mention i think theyre too small for the car. I think the alteeza should stick to hondas!

 

i think he said he has a cover to go over itso it looks flush...the back of his trunk was shaved nicely and he had custom fin lookin gills on the front fenders looked nice

 

well it dosen't look awful, but how much did we spend on all that bodywork? too much...

IMHO, the best way to go is more GO and less SHOW. they'll never see it comin' when you drive a 4-dr.

 

know that is uncalled for!!!

 

That, an painted tail lights Hopefully you guys' sarcasm detector was on for my post. Them things be fugly!

 

I like Altezzas, but that looks like pure crap. I definitely would not have paid money for something to look like that.

 

Hey. i have painted lights, but mine dont look like no honda and i dont think mine look bad at all.

 

another shot...hi mike

 

Heyyy, thats cool, someone took a pic of my car I wasnt planning on commin, because is half way done, but i wanted to see other maximas, when im done with my max ill post the pics.

 

now you know what would be sweet? if you could get those vette-lookin circles to work like vette tails. inside ones come on with brakes and outsides are turn signals.

 

I used to like those Altezzas, but now they are just too played out. When I saw them on a Mustang thats when I knew that this trend was waaaaaay overboard. The only ones that I think would be remotely cool are the ones that have the carbon fiber look to them instead of the shiny silver stuff. These would look good on a Max with the black center piece from the earlier 3rd gens. But I really think Altezzas only look good on one car....THE TOYOTA ALTEZZA!!!!!!!!! I am actually gonna be doing a taillight mod soon though, everyone has their secret projects, well this is mine. And lets just say I am staying with a certain Nissan style taillight......nuff said. Hehehehehe...

 

actually i had that done, but i figured its a domestic thing so i changed it back.

 

Man that is just flat out ruining your car.Very ugly!

 

oh ok, that i agree with you

 

NO! I was talking about the silver Max with the aluminum foil altezza's that is tacky.Actually your are alright they are different.I dont mind them.

 

which half was done exactly?? notice you rolled in like umm WAYYY too late. if you really wanted to go see other maximas you should've got there about 3-4 hours earlier.

 

 

I know i overslpet, couldnt wake up, then my friend didnt wanna go till the last minute, but i finally went. Well the exhaust is done, Its a 3" straight pipe with no catolitic, (shhh dont tell the cops), increased ignition and timing, ud pulley, stillen intake, stillen short-shift, centerforce stage 2 clutch, eibachs, tokicos, fstb, the engine work is done, the rest is just some body work, custome front which is half way done and as you can the spoiler is missing. I have the custome spoiler just needs to be put on. The only thing left is ST sway bars, and ECU ohh and that cold air intake. Maybe body kit

 

and how much did u pay to get those lights done like that?

 

3" Piping??? Isn't that a little large for a VE? Unless you are running a supercharger then the 3" piping is just gonna be louder and create more backpressure. I don't know how much engine modification you did, but 2.5 inch piping is as big as I would have gone. Isn't it really loud?

 

i have a VG, yes its loud , sounds like a v6-v8 mustang or something like that. it has back pressure but not too much. alot more power without the catolitic. Very notacable. Ok to be exact its 2.75 I listed all my mods for the engine.

 

yeah...anything larger than 2.5" on an NA max is too big..

 

at every DC meet he has something new! either a new paint job, new hood, etc. this time when we all met up Sunday morning and he rolled up with those Altezzas and I was shocked! he's not totally done with them, but if he likes them thats cool. but I'm still not an Altezza fan and also still known as ALTEZZA HATER. but other than that his car is fast as CACA, he made me a beiliever as far as the Euro Cams and UDP go, if you guys are looking for the top end mods, I highly suggest the Nismo Euro Cams, difficult install, but an AWESOME MOD!!! I've never seen a VG pull like that!

 

Da-Max, please hook me up with more info on this Euro Cam, im really tired of my VG wish i had a VE, .... Gonna start going crazy on the MODS, and i like top end so help me out.....and what would you reccomend for low end...?

 

I can help you out here. I have a 89 SE VG30. And i almost have evry mod there is(except the ones that cost big $$$$)
1. Stillen AIR Filter
2. Stillen Short-Shift
3. Dual Tip Exhaust
4. Warspeed Y Pipe
5. Custom 2.75 no catolitic exhaust
6. Centerforce Dual clutch
7. UR UD Pulley
Id say taking the catback out and the UD pulley is the biggest gain out of all of them, You will defenatly feel the differnce, Also you want performance. Id say Aluminum Flywheel and ECU would really help alot, dont know how much because i dont have those mods myself, but i heard they give alot. If you wanna go for the big bucks. Well u got the cams, polished heads, portout engine, bla bla.

 

the Euro cams and Isky cams are available at Nismoparts. and according to the info I found at Z31.com, the best choice would be the Euro Cams since they are mildly aggressive and probably the best chocie for moderately modified N/A engines they also said the Iskys are a little more aggressive(.430 to a .392 lift).

Euro VG Cam= .392 lift 264 intake and exhaust duration-$144

Isky VG Cam= has a .430 lift 256 intake and exhaust duration-$450

check 'em out at Nismo Parts

 

Wow, it seems pretty cheap, how much do you think installation would cost me ?

 

you have to pull the heads and pop 'em in(but you don't have to pull the whole engine). not an easy task for the non-mechnaically inclined. Also I think getting the heads ported and polished along with the cams will help for more gains as well. I think Jalil got his cams redone after his engine blew so it wasn't that much extra for the guys to put the Euro cams in since the engine was already getting rebuilt. best bets are to talk to a local import repair shop and see what they say, try to go with the "mom and pops" type shops rather than the "high clientile" import shops for lower prices.

 

Cheap $300 for cams? plus installation $50-$200 Port out the engine u lookin at around $100-150 a cylinder, I gurantee u get more. But its your choice.

 

Dude, those are tight. Nice job. Just the right touch to distance yourself from the rest of us.

 

dude, WTF. i said on another thread that getting the heads done and getting cams would produce big gains. you and a few other tore me down for it. now your changing your mind??
anyways are those cams regrinds or what? is it $144 for the pair or for one?

 

i was talking to the guy. and he paid about $1000 dollars for those lights to be installed. and he is getting a plexy glass cover for them.

Patrick

 

you said a port and polish(p/p) alone would yeild high gains, which isn't true for our cars!(ie- see Don's post on the Main forum) as far as adding cams yes you will see gains. Our stock manifolds and heads are already highly efficient, a P/P would help after adding cams but alone you will see little if any gains. sorry if there was a misunderstanding there somewhere....

as far as I know the price is for one.

 

do you know if those cams are regrings?

 

i like the way your lights look too. you should look into getting that center piece shaved. it would look even better

 

Cams, heads that all i hear, has anyone though about chnaging gear differentials???????????????????
