Even if my car was an Automatic, do you think that It looks ricey? The only thing on my car that it really isn't is the Skyline "GT-R" emblem...Not including that, what do you guys think? The reason I ask this is because a person I met up at school thinks that my car is "riced out". I just think that he is jealous (not to brag here!) Opinions?

 

The only flashy thing I can see from the pic is the wheels..and those are pretty tame. Why isn't it ricey? Because more of your mods can't be seen than can....your improving the driving..not just the looks.

Hey...when you added the underdrive pulley...what kind of gains did you feel? Worth the price you paid? which was how much? How long have you had it installed? Problems?


Mike S.

 

i hate the whole "ricey" labels to begin with. so what if your car is ricey? your cars tight so dont worry about it. that is how i want my car to look, with those style rims and all. btw nice color but your car is not ricey at all by most standards. no huge wing, not a lot of stickers, etc., etc. i think people would consider my car more ricey than yours. in fact many on this forum have called me ricey.and for those of you who consider me ricey- i took off my wing today! soon to get a factory se wing.

 

With the underdrive pulley, I bought it directly from Unorthodox racing (dumb move) for $219.00 plus about $10 for shipping. I bought new gates belts (3 of them because you need smaller ones) from AutoZone for about $45. I had a import shop install if for about $75 labor because I really didn't have time to do it myself. It took them about 45 minutes to install it.
Now as far as the performance goes, your A/C will not change how it effects your engine. The first thing that I noticed when I got it back (and floored it of course) was that the RPM's build up ALOT...i mean ALOT faster than stock and you can feel that the car "pulls" better. I'm guessing it probably took about .1 or .2 (maybe more) of a second off my 0-60 time. I haven't had time to take it back and get the HP at the wheels yet, but my guess is probably around 5-8 HP increase. The car doesn't sound any different, nor does it change your RPM redline since the computer controlls that. If you have any other questions about this, then just post them, or e-mail me at shibbeler@netscape.net

 

How long/miles have you had it on the car?
Did UR tell you what belt sizes to buy?


Mike S.

 

Yeah they did tell me the belt sizes....they were in the instructions that came with the pulley....they only give part numbers for GATES belts, so i didn't want to take any chances here. I have put about 5 to 6 k miles on it and the only problem was that i had to retighten the belts because they began to squeak after about a week, but that was to be expected with replacing any belts.

 

The rims sets it off well and it looks great. No probs of being ricey at all!

 

james what kind of spoiler did you have on your car? do you have any pics of it?
Patick

 

its an erebuni. i wanted the f-40 wing for the maxima, but the shop i got it through screwed up and gave me this one. then they wouldnt take it back. i also think it was used cuz its white and it was supposed to come primered. and it has the led in it. i got tired of the blue and white so i took it off. it would be alright but i dont want to spend the money to get it painted. i'm gonna see if i can sell it to one of my friends or something.

 

Don't get the UD pulleys if you are going to need power...espically for cars that have sound systems in them, the UD isn't for you.

 

What about the one Kaleb is installing?

His is just much lighter..like 6-7lbs but not smaller so the acc. spin at the same speed. That seems like a good compromise.

Mike S.

 

how much would you sell your wing to me for?

 

check yer e-mail.

 

Yeah...if he doesn't want the wing, I'll buy it!! How much?

 

i told him $75+plus shipping.

 

Did he take it?

If not...i'm there!!! I'll buy it! I can send you the money whatever way you want... e-mail me for deatils and i will give you my address (and vice versa) and PH-Number shibbeler@netscape.net <--Scott Hibbeler (that would be my REAL name) Oh my gosh...he said his name!!! AAHHH!!

 

That wing kicks a$$ !!! Primer or no Primer...I'll buy it!!!

 

he said he wanted to think about it and he'd let me know tomarrow. i just e-mailed him to see if he thought he wanted it or not. so hopefully i can let you know something tonight. if not, then by tomarrow.

 

ok keep me updated....i'm a for sure purchase...he's a "I'l think about it" just tell me how and i will buy it!!!

 

I have a wing just like that one that used to be on my car. Mine was made by wing rider and seemed to fit nicer. It has an LED too. If anybody wants it I'll get rid of it.

Nice top speed picture guy. It's funny how I did that and now two people have used it, hehe. Can I ask where you got that picture?

 

Hey Bryan,

Don't worry, i took your picture off. There is only one now. I will be getting my own. I hope you don't take offense, i figured it would save me the trouble. Sorry

need4pwr

 

need4power....ummm your "smx" maxima site is where i got it from, but I'm in the process of getting my own....if you want, I will put "property of ____" on it if it will make you feel better....(or i'll take it off)

 

how fast is that top speed picture? and is it fake?
josh

 

No it's not fake...and it's about 135mph to 140mph (no me though) I can get it faster i think....i'm gonna try this weekend if the weather is good. I bet i can get at least 130mph...maybe more...i'll post the REAL picture when i get it

 

hehe! i hit 138 in my max, i didnt try to take a picture at that speed though.

 

Yeah I know...that's kinda dangerous (but so is driving that fast...NOT!)...I'm gonna have a passenger take the pict.....y'know what? I'll bet that the picture that i have on my sig pict was taken when the front end of the car was jacked up off of the ground.....what do you think?

 

i dont know, could be.

 

yeah...i'll keep everyone up to date....i'll post a pict of my "new" spoiler **cough** when i get it painted and installed.

 

Please please use mine!!! Use mine all you want. Don't go out and run it that fast- it's crazy and I'm crazy! Please, feel free to use that picture all you want- the both of you!

 

hey FAST4EN, "maxima fanatic" eh?

 

As you know, I had a white 91 SE and now have the black one. This photo was taken in my white car. I was going home from Purdue University to Northern Indiana. I think I just had an intake at the time. I had a nice 10 - 15 mph wind pushing me from what I remember and my 230 lb friend in the passenger seat. I pegged my speedometer where the needle was over the "Y" on the unleaded fuel onl"y" characters. This photo is an exact figure of where it was. I had an original picture of going 100 mph and had my friend use photoshop to change that one to depict this high speed picture (135 or so). So it is not a real picture taken at the time. I cropped it to leave the rpm's out, as they showed like 3200 (100 mph in O/D). Incidentally, I recorded about 4300 in O/D at that speed. I have not taken my black one over 130 mph. I got up there once when I raced a Camry before my Y pipe and could not go any faster than that from drag limitation.
Again, don't feel you need to go out and do this, it's not safe! Please use my picture all you want.

 

How do those kappa perfects sound?

 

yeah

 

Yeah...I didn't even pay attention to that....

I'm downloading the pictures of the "yellow" calipers and the "first snow" into my computer as we speak (yes, I finally bought a digital camera!!). I'll post them after I get home from work...I'll be back here sometime after 8:00pm CST...by the way...with the snow here yesterday, there have been so many accidents here today because the roads iced up this morning. I have to switch back over to my OEM rims with the snow tires....those KumHo Ecsta Supra 712's don't work on ice/snow one bit!! God bless Blizzaks! I had a horrible time trying to get traction today! It sucked!

 

....sigh...digital cameras are a pain in the ***! I'll try to get the pictures tomorrow....

 

chris you want to get rid of your sploir? (sp?) i will take it offyour hands. as long as there is no one infront of me for the wing.
Patrick

 

I got one from James92(gxe or se) for $75...has the LED...not promered or painted....$90 delivered...not too bad at all. It's not too tall, but not small either....How much does the front air dam from stillen cost? <--Whiteymax?

 

Sure you can have it. It just sits in my closet. What are you willing to pay. I'm not asking much. I paid $350 but I kinda got ripped off. It is a nice wing though. The best part is the LED.

Ummm....No I meant I ALREADY bought a wing from James92SE...I was wondering how much the FRONT AIR DAM from STILLEN (just the air dam) costs...do you know? Also with the ground effects, do you just replace the bumper cover, entire bumper, or add it onto the bumper? I'm kinda confused as far as that goes....do you know?
