I just finished my 350z engine swap with rwd tranny, and I am having problems with a really loud squeal coming from the belts. A little information, VQ35 with driveshaft and rear axle. The only thing I could think of is the belt my be too tight or too loose.. HELP!

 

It might be the idler pulley is squealing or it could be loose belts. If you overtightened the belts, you might have damaged the pulley... sorry to talk in circles, but you know what I mean..

 

Did you use the CVTs from the 3.5? You should try the VQ30 timing belt pulleys w/o the CVTs.

I have JET I could sell you for tuning because the SAFC is crap.

 

 

I used the CVT from the 3.5 and I was undecided for a while about using the VQ30 timing belt pulley but I wanted it to be a complete swap. I am currently using the sesame piggy back street ECU to adjust idle and such.

 

whas going on deezo? do u smell ?

 

omg haha dude i just read the title and started lmao

 

I tried converting my max to AWD by putting a second transmission in the trunk, but then I always needed a rear seat passenger to keep shifting gears for me when was driving, so I ended up scrapping that idea. I ended up doing the poor-mans AWD. I took some huge rubber belts and tied the front and rear axles together, so now when the front wheels and rear wheels rotate together. It works great in snow.

 

It's probably the piggy squealing.

 

dude no way i almost did the same thing except i converted to the geo metro 12" wheel without a tire on it then when it snowed really bad i would just weasel along to the nearest train tracks, hook up, launch it at 6K and be on my way accross the city when everyone elses fwd's were sitting there spinning and whatnot it was great. That large rubber belt trick really does help for traction in the snow imo

 

got my laugh for the day

 

This mod is soooooooo yesterday. Everyone is switching to the Titan V8 conversion.

 

not me! i am happy with my h-22 swap and gs-r tranny swap in my 97 gle....no one tops that!

 

Uhh, well, first no VQ has a timing belt anyway...and second, ummm..



allen

 

they do have timing belts...if urs doesnt have a belt then u have an american made vq...not japanese

 

I want my 2 minutes back.

 

here you go:

 

Im with the fish guy

 

im slow...what u mean by that?

 

No pics, no care.

 

all vq's came with timing chains, not belts. Mine was made in Kyushu, Japan, and it has a timing chain.

 

Dammit......those ain't the same two minutes. I want the same two, you SOB

 

Check again. And by check I mean physically open up the timing cover. You will be surprised.

 

I have been looking at converting to a g35 drivetrain. So much work though. Funny this is the first I ever heard of this. FInd it hard to be true.

You must of been overhauled?!!!

 

ok................

My SE has a leather timing belt.

 

I hope you upgraded to the carbon fiber drive shafts Gtr_Rider you'll need it with all the power you will put down.

 

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

 

 

where did u buy urs...i hate my carbon fiber belt.....no hp gains at all!!!

 

ummm can we all say P H O T O S H O P?

very skilled @ having the car lifted...and not go forward @ all!!

so lemme guess...u have the european version of the maxima....it brakes and still spins all on the rear wheels right? i mean after all ur burning rubber but ur still suspended with ur jack stands!
i tell u those europeans kno how to make the maxima better!!!

 

seafoam

plus a burn out on jack stands would send the car flying forward . . . good try.

 

yea i know several ppl who had that problem with the rear wheel spinning, this is what happens when you use too much seafoam

 

YOU BASTARD!! YOU BEAT ME TO IT!! lol dam bro we think alike...not good

 

its funny cause i fu look close enough u can see the smoke comming from the TAILPIPE

 

what what

 

it's cause the rwd power was too much for the exhaust to handle.

No seafoam, just blown head gasket

 

If it's a full 3.5 RWD, did you retain the single stage intake plenum. My adive, If you use the stock 4th gen USIM, it helps tope end pretty sick, but, you wanted to keep it all 3.5L so the gains are phenomenal with the single stage USDM 4th gen IM.


When staying RWD, everything stays the same except the shifter sits a little more to the right, at least that's what I noticed in my 03 max, trickiest part is getting the accessory fan to not chop up the coolant lines.

But my timing belt broke and that's my new project .. like deezo said leather belts LMK if anyone knows of where to get them.

 

Hey, I can make my car do that.....WITH PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!

Oh, BTW, everyone needs to puto ont their waders, 'cause it's gettin' deep in here.

 

he shud be nominated for the nex max of the month
