the exhaust touches the fuel tank. and i had to get rid of my rear sway bar to fit it. it was junk anyways. and a nistune ecu, and afc for fuel???
and your all azz's. no body helps on this forum. the point of a forum is for you to help people, not tell them to look somewhere else. wtf? im done with this site. all my questions get yelled at

 

if you weren't an idiot...
4" exhaust? 3.0l v6? no. 500ci BBC? maybe, and not necessarily "yes."
dumping the rsb for a retardedly large exhaust is more retarded.

I was done helping you when you refused to listen to begin with.
we have been trying to help, but you refuse to listen.
so it's not us who are an "azz" but you, who are not paying attention.
everything you want has been discussed, and discussed, and explained in great detail. both here, and other forums, and other informational web sites.
you are so ignorant, I don't know how to help you. I really want to, I see you are trying to do something, but the end result is something comical.
seriously, I don't want to see anyone hurt because they were stupid.


(well.... I would love to see it, but it has to be on youtube... but that's a different conversation).

ignorance can be fixed, but only someone who wants to learn can get rid of their own ignorance. once you are actually willing to learn, come back. until then, kick rocks, kid

 

Everybody Rob?

I'd suggest you look at the responses which have agitated you as "tough love."

I believe it was clear...no one wants you to get hurt or waste your money on something not worthwhile.

 

Cmax's thread, we have enough people now i guess for the catback. i thought you were in it already?

 

Well I thought we had the 5 people now to sort of "officially petition" them to make it. Did they actually confirm they're going to make it now, etc?

And last I saw it was $120.. where did $190 come from?

Rob.. Personally, I'm kind of on your "side" here. I was just giving you a hard time on the 4" exhaust but I don't/didn't want to bash your dreams/plans. Unfortunately, we're generally cynical here to newbs who come on here with pipe dreams and say all the things they're going to do - because there's been hundreds of people come on here and do that over the years and never end up doing it/following up. But that doesn't mean we should run you off.

You're completely right that this forum isn't very helpful to newbs. I've noticed this increasingly in the past few years and I've personally witnessed several very enthusiastic 3rd new genners (albeit who admittedly could be argued were idiots/annoying) get run off, banned, or pestered into leaving. I mean we were all newbs once. You can't learn if you don't ask (hell, I think one of my first threads on Max.org was asking where to buy altezzas). But you DO need to do a little bit more research. Much of what you're asking can be self-taught as was previously discussed

But, nonetheless, this is partially why the 3rd gen "community" here is dead, IMO

Not to mention the whole making new people post in the newb thread. Who reads/checks that anyway? I rarely do. I think the only person who consistently helps newbs in that thread is Ben since Caped left. I really don't think its necessary anymore, as it's not like we're exactly being inundated with newbs here in the 3rd gen. section.

At least if we let newbs post here and not criticize "dumb" questions, we'd at least have some new threads more than a few times a week...

Just my $.02

 

^^^^----and the crowd grows silent.

 

This is one of the better sites for Maxima's, especially 3rdgens since there 20 years old. I've battled with dudes on here myself and even if I don't like the member I still consider everyone's suggestions/opinions. You need to take a look at you threads/post robsterzallan from a different perspective and consider what you write on here. The stuff you write is just straight up ridiculous. 4" inch exhaust is not only useless but a downgrade to your Max and I could imagine how terrible it would sound. I honestly get a kick out of your threads but really have tried to suggest positive feedback to help you. You need 2 take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth!!. If you really have 2 grand to blow then you should 1 of 3 things; take some automotive courses at a local school, sell your messed up Max and add that to the 2 grand to buy something that is already fast/good or pay a proffessional that specifically works on Nissan Maxima's. There's plenty of tuner's out there that specialize on just Maxima's and can do whatever you want, including custom turbo. It's more than obvious that you don't know enough to do any of the things you want to do. I can appreciate the fact that you wanna hook up your 3rdgen Max, they really can look sick if done right. 2 grand is enough 2 get something done right with a pro. Why don't you get the car painted professionally with the proper bodywork done 2 her or buy a Z31 motor and have someone swap it in for you.

 

from what i understand we have enough but the more the merrier

and im going 2.5" now instead of 3" because the whole new engine thing has screwed up my boosting plans

 

Just some FYI: I'm not sure why so many push the z31 engine. There is nothing magical about the z31 VG30E engine as opposed to the VG30E engine in the Maxima. Differences really boil down to intake, motor mounts, crank pully, exhaust manifolds, distributor, injectors, and oil filter adaptor (may have forgot something). Some differences can stay, others must be changed to adapt it over. Not a huge undertaking....but still nothing about it makes it special as compared to what's in the maxima.

At worst, someone buys an old "A" block (Like me....didn't realize it at the time.) and the crank snout is too short and uses only one woodruff key as opposed to two on the newer "W" block. I had to get creative to resolve this issue.

BTW: If you're talking about the VG30ET, you're still not changing much of what I said other than additional differences include turbo, dished pistons, and cams.

 

at least you have a good crank snout

random fact the VG30E in 3rd gens has 5hp more than the Z31/2nd gen Max one

 

Thank you.. Ive been saying this for years... in fact a lot of z31 guys swap maxima engines in cause they like the 9:1 compression better. You dont want an entire VG30ET... you want the turbo components off of the VG30ET... if you want to go that route. I prefer all custom, but i suppose I'm bias.

 

forgot i PM'd him and asked a few days ago

 

my apologies for not being your "personal" maxima.org google for you.

you asked for what components and i told you what you should look into. then you asked again what piston you should get and what cams you should get. i told you that the engine builder should be giving you that information. you come on with big dreams with no skills or no time to even do the basic research. this is the NUMBER 1 indication that you're not going to do it.

genius...Nistune CONTROLS YOUR FUEL!!! you don't need AFC with nistune...but you could've learned that in 5 minutes on nistune.com but you didn't even do that small little bit of research and just came on here to shoot off these "catch phrases" to make it sound like you know what you're doing.

4" exhaust that's rubbing hitting your gas tank? HOT exhaust pipe on gas tank...anyone else feels this is a safety issue? go ahead...take a pic of this 4" pipe on your car. i requested that and you couldn't even deliver one picture request.

now you're going to play "i'm a victim and you guys won't help me!" whaaaa... give me a break.

why not make a request on the forum to have us build your car while you sit there and drink (insert fav drink) all day?

 

I just said that cause this kid always talks about turbo charging his VG, which he can't, so I just suggested this, I never said it was magical and If I were going to turbo mine I'd use my VG that's already in her.

 

lol i was gonna mention thats not safe

OP just download the 30 day trial of NisTune and you can check out some stuff

 

Clarification: Not directed at you shiloh. Just making a generalized comment given I've noticed this seems to be the notion going around about which engine to obtain in upgrading/swapping for more power or performance. Nothing more.

 

well. i bought a 95 240SX yesterday. anyone need parts for a maxima? or want the whole thing?

 

You get a lot of luv around here son. Your threads even get more responses than mine, but then again I don't ask too many questions because the third gen is so simple to figure out. Well to me it is. In fact I did the so called PITA rear strut cartridge insert yesterday. If everything in life was as easy as that then I would have no problems. Walking out the door to go do the entire front-end as we speak. Time to finish that 30 pack in the trunk while I work .

 

 

Its ashame when someone gets beat..they run away!...Bra I think everyone tried helping you out along with others that had questions like this??(well not all the questions)...but I see that you bought another car..giving up on you pipe dreams.

 

That kool man, maybe the 240 is more what your looking for anyway. It's easier to finds parts for the 240 than the 3rd gen Max. Personally I'm not feelin' the 240 but I've seen some sweet 240's though. You given your old Max away or what you want for her?

 

OP youre young as well right? be prepared to get raped by insurance if its in your name, its gonna go way up from a 4dr FWD sedan to a RWD sports coupe

honestly if i had a dollar for the guys that gave up on their 3rd gens and went to 240sx i'd have a nice payday

 

yeaa ill part it out or 2000 OBO and yea it is pretty sweet. i like it more then the maxima. and i love the parts that are easyer to find, and how much funner it is

 

Sorry to hear you go, your threads were very popular even you didn't like some of the feedback. I haven't given up on mine cause the shell is solid w/like no rust, engine is healthy w/150 on her, which is good for her age and I've put so much effort into her already. Maybe make her a side project, I have 2 other cars; 1 is a 93' Sentra w/200 on her and runs great w/new rod bearing and full exhaust. My other baby is a 97' Volvo GLT w/turbo and has under a 100 thou, plus she's in great shape and just happens to be 1 of the best Models/engines Volvo ever made(2.4L 20valve 5cyl.). Yep it has 5cylinders and moves like a good 6 with a little boost. I really bought this for the wife but I really do most of the driving, good wrenching w/the 240 kid.

 

you will never get $2000 for the paintjob/body damage that 3rd gen has, youre looking at around $1000 max if even that

 

How much for that 4" exhaust?

 

it's been fun...good luck.
