If you love your VG POST A PIC HERE!
 
I've been seeing a few recent vg pics and thought it would be to make a thread just for the SOHC rockers.

I'll start.

Trim piece removal!?

92gxe/cg2 Jan 20, 2008 04:45 PM

well that pic is 6-7 months old, the pass side trim is off but some adhesive junk is still stuck on there, too cold to finish it... :(, but i might paint it and put it back on, it does protect the doors from mishaps in parking lots and what not..

maxitech Jan 20, 2008 04:55 PM

A pic of the actual car just for good measure:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...h/P7010197.jpg

Taken on the other side of Portage Lake...That's Michigan Tech in the background.

BTW...Nice engine pic, Goon! I like! In fact, I want to have my engine pulled and rebuilt (a year or more down the road) just to clean it up, put in fresh seals and rubber everywhere and make it the beast it was the day it drove off the lot (not that it isn't already). This would take place after I graduate (spring) and the Maxima yields its daily driver status to the GTO I plan to buy. Maybe I'll even add a turbo at that time...:naughty:

oh definitely. I have a complete cosmetic overhaul coming in the spring. Saving up the funds, so the sooner i have the cash, the quicker it gets done. I definitely dont cheap out on my car. I just wait until i get the money to do it right the first time.

if you were referring to me, Im dropped on B&G springs and tokico "blues". I need to get some new tires as well. Right now i have 235 50 17s on there. Rubs like a mofo, especially the rear and NY roads arent much help as well.

AllMaxxedOut Jan 20, 2008 08:07 PM

Here's a few pics I just snapped earlier today. No engine pics though as I haven't cleaned it yet. lol

In the next few months everything is going to get redone in the turbo department.

BenStoked Jan 21, 2008 07:49 PM

Big_E-Dog Jan 21, 2008 09:37 PM

What IM is that on the right?

ColombianMax Jan 22, 2008 01:09 AM

Off a Pathfinders VG30E but it looks similar to the Quest's as well.

It looks much more superior to the maxima vg30e IM...

I wonder why I haven't seen this before. Maybe I have, but I forgot about it.

Shoe shaped plenum looks decent for boost.

There have been a few threads over the years on people claiming to doing this and never end up test fitting as they say they would so thats why everyone gets mad..someone in particular is coming back to mind, some (IIRC) backandblackj30 JDM tyte wanna be ricer.

This is just a pic comparing the IMs side by side, nothing more, for now anyway
