My maxima when I first bought it.




this is how she was back then.

Now for all the images of things I have done.



Hayame DTX muffler. Only have one installed right now.







Had the clutch break on three sides of the four and one spring pop side ways.

 

Replaced pressure plate, clutch disc, and throw out bearing.

BOMZ cold air intake bought for my ve.

Bolt and nut for front transmission mount. Bolt was missing when I got my car from being transported from Washington state.

Oem nissan genuine hubs.

Hubs pressed together with new bearings and wheel seals. Both sides.

Intake manifold gasket from nissan.

Valve cover gaskets from nissan.

Clutch rubber line oem nissan part.

Rear intake secondary air intake gasket. Nissan oem part.

 

Synthetic brake fluid, rear calipers, front rotors, brake clean for the rotors, brake tool for the rear caliper piston.

Rear calipers painted silver.

 

 

looks promising

 

Let's see some pics of your build, man.
OP...very nice . I'll be along soon .

 

What's with the bushings on there?

 

What color is that sapphire blue or something like that right? I learned to drive on a 94 Max, same color. Lol. Anyway, looks promising man. Good job

 

James those are the duralast sway bar end links

 

R34s might save this car

 

Lmfao ok yeah uh huh.


I smell a 5th gen troll bumping his gums in the wrong generation forum he has no involvement in at all. And also seems he is one of those types of people who pay others to fix or mod his car. Be gone with ye A33 troll

 

Oh I thought you had aftermarket sways?

 

Mevotech end links in mine. Did a quick mock up.

More pictures to come as well as detailed explination of what all these pics are and why numbered. But right now need to go work on my brothers 93 lincoin mark VIII.

 

Not yet planning on it but right now just trying to get back on the road so I can make more money to be able to but bigger and better stuff

 

I haven't had stock sways in over 11 years so I completely forgot what the OEM end links looked like. When I first saw your pic I just glanced at it and thought it was a tie rod end with some bushings put on it for some reason

 

naw the bomz intake and the pursuit of dual exhaust (not to mention the exhaust/axleback selection) blows. i mean all else is well, but i guess youll figure it out down the road

 

i like it. keep up the good work.

 

Lmfao I'm not staying n/a I'm going turbo, twin turbo at that. Dont worry about my j30 chassis code maxima. Time and time again our gens have proven to be more then resourceful and inivative. Look at brad92se had a boosted ve making what something near 400hp I believe (brad feel free to correct my numbers) slim im not just some street tuner I went to college for automotive technology it's what I do for a living. I've also been working on 3rd gen maximas since 01 when I got my first se a 93 ve auto. Then my 91 se vg-5 now I have my two newest ones both 93's and se's, with VE30DE engines one an auto black se the other my TK3 VE-5

 

Lol naw only thing different about my stock sway is I sanded it primered it and painted it blue and the new sway bar end links.

 

you got me all wrong. i'm not knocking the 3rd gen max's just a couple of the things you're doing i wouldnt do, as i mentioned above. to each his own....i guess i sincerely had the exhaust selection. i liked the car as it set w/ teh stock exhaust prior to the 'hayame' that you put on there. like i said, its yours, do as you please. i was expressing my OPINION on a part or two, not on what you are doing to the car in general.

Very inspiring

 

Even have a brand new water pump back in washington state that I haven't installed yet. As well as other various nissan oem parts. Still need to make the polyurathane cure on the motor mounts install the oem oil pressure switch oil pan gaskets front crank seal. Order and have on the way 9 new oem C.O.P. Screws two axle nut insulators and axle nut caps and one pcv elbow

 

Sweet project!

I love the R34 wheels, how well do they fit? What are the specs on them? It looks like they might be sticking out a bit, but maybe a drop will make them line up (and wider tires ) I wouldnt mind getting my hands on a set of those.

It looks like you are getting into the motor a bit, are you going to, or have you replaced the pistons?

No piston work on this motor. Got a parts ve I'm going to be rebuilding for a twin turbo setup. R34 rims are 18x9 +30 offset. Having fenders rolled by a fender roller. And getting 4 wheel alignment with a bit of negative camber. I picked them up off a guy who owns a nissan skyline gtr 32 for only $650. Cheapest I've seen is going at $1,800 for rims no tires.

 

While you were in there, did u change or check out the knock sensor?

 

Checked knock sensor while in college not hard to reach the sub connector to test it when I need to.

 

wow man mad respect. that tk3 blue is now my favorite color on 3rd gens. beautiful max.

 

Im gonna go wild when I go to the body side and do something different skyline true body kit pieces headlights and taillights and whatever else may be needed and I'm gonna make sure to do it right and it not look cheesy. I dont care what former enthusiast like matt or others say saying my maxima will never amount to ****. Well here is me doing the damn thing and not bsing. I love my 3rd gens and fellow die hard friends who love them like me.

 

If I can get a break to take some updated pics. I just finish installing that LTB stg2. Build is about done. Shes getting ready to go for an alignment and to the body shop to be painted. Will have plenty of pics of that. If you want to see pics from when I picked her up till now check out my home page. Elusive keep at it.

 

nice man runs like a champ now

 

Now to buy some mcgard spline drive lug nuts with lock nuts to protect from having my gtr wheels stolen since here in okc little jdm wanna be tuners will attempt to steal them. Brad anything wider then 245 on my tires risks rubbing on my frame or suspension components.

 

what was the cause of this and what were the symptoms? Also, what type of clutch is it?

I haven't cracked my trans open to check, but this is what I am thinking happened to my ACT a few weeks ago.

It is still sitting in my garage waiting for me to get some free time and decide what I want to do.

 

Just an after market oem clutch and old. When it went all I heard was a big pop and it wouldnt shift into gear. One of the springs popped side ways also. Wouldnt shift into gear had to shut engine off just to switch gears then back to acc and car rolling already would compression start right back up.

 

Brad when I do the engine I'm thinking of using hks connecting rods and eagle or some other pistons made for the vg30dett what sucks is the hks connecting rods only come with the hks pistons but the pistons are 97mm and our engines if I remember right can only bore out to 91mm so I'm trying to see if my friend with a z32 wants to go in on the deal and he gets the pistons and I get the connecting rods. The set runs like 3k lmfao way over kill but im aiming to hit 550 to the wheels. And yes I'm doing more to the engine not just rods and pistons. Good thing for having friends in dealerships like my friend jeff at bruce titus nissan who is the nismo parts guy for all my japanese parts needs.

 

The donor maxima with a VE30DE only down side is it's an automatic so i'll have swap some parts out to make it a VE-5 motor.

 

now this is funny

i was going to quote the same picture

but i was only hoping to find out what planet he was from what the hell is all over your hands bro?? 7inch bluegreen fingers lol
