Darn forgot about those pesky 1st gens...

Correction: ...when they make a sexy looking RWD Maxima

Edit:
PS Trying to stay on topic, yeah I've hit deeper holes in my drive way. Plus I ran up on my curb and didnt blow a tire, just my wheel got bent, but is more or less intact. Call their customer support and keep on them, make'em put you on with a specialist/supervisor or try to get the issue escalated (assuming their support structure is similar to other companies) as this needs to be investigated by them at the very least.

Haha. Talk about an odd set of parts. I like the x-over tube into the thermostat though.

What tranny is that?

You should really just by my urbotay parts

Jeffy, I HAVE your urbotay parts... I redesigned them, remember?

Z32 tranny...

and no, it's not going in the 240. the 240 must stay class-legal, so no weirdo motor swaps.. It'll be going in the Maxima whenever I have a new daily driver and no longer need it for transportation. The car's not worth anything to sell, so why not chop it up and have some fun with it?

just build a serious frame for it and set it on top of it like all the pro streeters do. Of course then you will have to re sheetmetal the interior but if you can build a frame tahts the least of your worries .

heh... I can do structural work, but sheet metal I'll leave up to you.

I'm thinking I'll jsut rip the rear end out of a Z32 or S14 and use the rear suspension and etc for that. engine crossmember I'll just have to figure out. will probably just steal the front subframe from a S14 or Z32 as well because the steering rack will need to be relocated in order to make room for the tranny tunnel.

bah.. what's some chopping and welding between friends?

I never said that pic was mine.
I have all the parts laying around to build the same thing, including the tranny, and I will eventually.. But I never said that was mine.

I am not sure, the tires are still on them so they're pretty heavy. Also have to send the locking lugnuts and 2 keys for them.

I will try to find out tomorrow from UPS, but I'm trying to find local buyers first for pickup.
