Thanks to Jay my car is up and running again.
The Skyline R34 had a perfect fit in my engine bay.
My Twin Turbo setup was actually a collaboration of Custom Maxima and Hal.
One turbo is installed but having "heating and cooling" issues and the other one hasn't even been shipped yet......







But for real, my engine was shot to hell so Jay threw in another VQ with only 60k on it. I can't believe how fast Jay and Amir got it done!!! I was there last night when they slapped the transmission and new motor back on, they are setting records all over the damn place!!!!!!!!

 

So I hear they're pretty good at what they do .... sweet deal

 

that's preaty cool, when can u get some pics up for us, how long did it take and what are some major mods u had to do?

 

Skyline R34?

 

I'm not quite understanding this. The motor out of an R34 fit into the 4th Gen Max????

 

thats what i am saying more description

 

But for real, my engine was shot to hell so Jay threw in another VQ with only 60k on it


He was BS'in about the R34

 

lol come on guys youre not that slow...

 

duh! R34 RB26DETT is RWD, will not work in maxima FWD application.

anyway post up some pix...

 

You mean ATTESSA AWD?? Yeah it can be RWD but it is an AWD system. But yeah it still won't work.

 

Damn, some of you guys really scare me.... do you not notice he is joking, he really got a new VQ put in....

 

I would have loved to take some pics and post them but I didn't have a digi camera. There were 3 different motors on stands as well as 3 bad azz maximas there, (well mine's not that cool ) so it would have been a good episode of Maxster Garage. I had alot of fun doing the small amount of work I did. I have learned 2 things from this experience:
1. Never buy a car from a kid that doesn't maintain his ****. (duh!)
2. Sometimes it's a hell of a lot cheaper to replace than repair.....

 

well u had me, but anything is possible if u had the money to do it, even a awd it don't matter. but i won't believe untill i see it.

 

I dont agree, anything CAN be done, it's just a matter of how much work, time and most of all money it's going to cost to do the project. You may be somewhat limited to what size can fit under the hood/ in engine bay, but even that can be altered. i.e, shaving wheel wells and getting a new hood, having part of the lower frame removed and reconfigured for a rwd set up... Anything is possible, but mostly not practicle or worth the cost.

 

Where is this place? I noticed you are in Atlanta! I might want to use this guys for some work.

 

With the amount of things going on, I highly doubt you wold have got pictures. That is the sweetest motor swap I ever done.



Anyone else with a blown motor, I am ready to swap 10 more

 

How much does an engine swap usually cost these days?

 

Wait wait wait wait, so your telling me they put a RB ina Maxima?!?!?!?!?

 

is everything running good again Bruce? , (well mine's not that cool ) i think your max is pimp tight! hahaha

 

What not reading the whole thing gets you Nice work jay..

 

yea he got all the **** in there, all wheel drive system and all.

 

lol

 

Sheeet dude. I'm just about done building my DriftKingMaxima. Using 5.7L out of a donor 99 F-body. Changing to a rear drive requires a couple snips here and there... firewall, rear seat, floor board, console, dashboard, trunk, radiator, gas tank, radiator, etc and voila!

Best thing is, I'm using the stock Max tranny! It's gonna be sweet.

 

The stupidity here scares me.

Hey Jay...do you know a place that has good prices on old VQs? Or how much I would have to pay you to install on for me?

 

Oh yeah, I knew I had a reason I was posting on this thread. Got carried away.

 

here Ill spill the beans, Ive noticed that the OHIO yards have the cheapest pricing on engines. I ve seen them as cheap as $175 for an engine. Search on www.car-part.com

I am about to buy one of these early tomorrow morning. I am starting to like this



Lurchdogs car had a nasty metal on metal noise coming from the engine. His mechanic told him he has bent valves. Why tear an engine apart and fix it. I am sure it would have took him way over two weeks to get parts shipped and installed. Labor would have ripped him a new one. Then he had over 100K. Just replace it with a lower mileage engine and call it the day.

 

for a phucked up engine that thing use to fly..

 

or replace it with a 2k engine

 

ok what someone said about the max and rear wheel i dotn remember who it was but a while ago i remember seeing a vid posted of a max doing a REAR wheel drive burnout...

 

WTF were u smoking when u seen that , obviously it must be preaty d@m good, i don't think anyone has a rear wheel drive max YET but u never know what people will come up with.

 

I'm working on an 8L Viper engine swap into my Maxima as we speak.

LEMAR

 

oh really? yeh that's what I heard. So you guys used to race it alot or something??

 

Yo man, what's up. I appreciate your concern. I was amazed today when I drove it, the car is like TWICE as fast. I am dead serious, I mean it is like a different car man. My car has a habit of being much faster everytime it leaves Jay's house......

 

When I did the mouse-over on the thread title and read "R34, twin turbo, CM and hal" I thought WTF is this guy talking about??

 

PEOPLE PEOPLE HIS joking with you.


okay time out, seriously I just put a new VQ in his car thats all I did. thats why I said next. I did a bit more then the VQ swap. But what ever I did it surely help the engine perform quite a bit better

my 15 yr old brothers name is not amir, it is Ociel, next time just call him Habeebee

 

yo if i imaged that it must have beeen soom gooooood ****, but im in college theres no such thing as goood ****, expecially in conneticut

 

Sorry I didnt read the entire post guys, wont happen again! me if you want



No this is true, someone made there max RWD and put a 3z motor in there, but the axels kept snapping

 

Habeebee Habeebee, Habeebee Ananooneleh

 

do you know what habeebee means

 

and what the hell is ananoonleh
