I have a MSD 6AL brand new, never used, selling for 200 obo. Was going to use it but decided not to...

Any ideas on other **** to do? lol, other than headers and supercharger / turbo? Plugs and wires, I know, but anytthing else...

Rims, headers, supercharger/turbo = next year

 

Nismo sticker

 

retrofit? i dunno, you pretty much got it covered. enjoy!

 

lmao true

 

Yeah, I'm going to do that next year, but thanks for reminding me. I gotta put that down on the list for next year.

 

Plugs and wires???
With the MSD 6al what were you planning on doing with it?
were you going to ditch the independant coils and just run the single ignition coil?
You might consider passing up on the straight pipe, the gains over the OEm cat are very minimal and it smells bad. I had one that I ran for over a year due to a faulty OEM cat, it was nothing great.
You might also want to hold off on that brake setup and consider the BBK kits instead.

 

you could get the ionic kit rather than the stillen and use the money you saved to put towards the BBK!

 

Race pipe for what?

Tuning

 

smt 7 yo.....

should we list the mods in the future too

00VI, Eibachs instead if Teins, SMT 7, new y-pipe, new muffler, 300zx sBBK 04/05 Maxima rotors, Autovations PIMP Pedals, new tires for auto-x, NISMO BADGES YO

 

Dang you guys suck I wish I had that much money put down some totals while you all are at it so I can see if I can come close to doing any of this

 

the US Federal Goverment rocks when it comes to tax returns

 

I was going to do independent...

Might pass on the race pipe then...

BBK, very true... it's just that my racing brake rotors are starting to crack now after 2 years...

 

The ionic CF kit? if so, I don't want a CF kit...

 

A mod, lol

 

Well these "future" mods are this year...

I was going to do 00vi, but it's a bish so I hear to put in and only place around, Maximum Tuning, put one in for someone and they weren't happy with the results... but if someone thats KNOWS how to do it well, then i'd do it... but for now, MEVI w/ ECU, plus I'm not going to be racing my car, so go figure.

 

Alot of work, alot of clients, and yes, tax returns do help.

 

 

no, no! there was a GD for them for $375 (+ shipping, i think). they are just about to start producing the 95-96 lip.

 

It's hardly a mod ..

 

they are going to be this year.....

 

Why do you want that garbage JWT ecu?

 

Everyone has a wish list....you putting the mevi on yourself, I want one for my 96 I30t, don't know if I want to do it myself though, possible just have to do more research.

 

IMO no race pipe, and do the BBK, its so awesome, i don't know how i lived w/o it before... go with a RSB and stay with your coil packs you won't gain anything off MSD's. maybe nitrous??? thats my new toy this year, its all in and ready to spray, pics on my domain soon.

 

why don't you skip the y pipe this year and just get the headers next year, save the 300 dollars and buy some food or something

 

why do you say that?

and why an MEVI instead of an 00VI?

 

It's a piece of crap. That's why.
Ive seen 1st hand how it DOESN'T perform on 2 local Maximas.

 

I gained 3-4mph through the traps with with my JWT ECU.

 

JWT ECU, MEVI, SAFC-2 that will be a definate power adder.

go to that link thats my friend justins maxima, he has pretty much every NA mod you could do, he got bored with it and did a custom turbo set up, but he doesnt' have recen tpics of it all the way installed, but i tell you what its has as hell, lol...

 

noice job man sounds like ur doing an awesome job

 

That could be a problem ...

 

yea def could be....JWT ECU is supposed to have optimizeed A/F ratios when u get it...i dunno if i woulf want to mess with them even more

PS on the Stillen Kit... SportCompactOnly.com has lips on sale for 175 and sides for 149 a piece

 

Actually JWT ECU runs lean(typically)...

Some people were able to tune the JWT with SAFC, and some people weren't able to..

 

no kidding, whats the point of running the SAFC if you have the JWT, espically if your not boosted.

 

OK!!!!

 

Thanks for the good insight, and also, the link to sportcompactonly.com, good stuff on there.

 

bijan, I saw those videos of you vs the other max with mevi and ecu. It's weird, I didn't even hear his mevi kick in at all. Something must not be right with his car, cause he should be faster than you. What about weight? does he have a system, or is it a SE? SE's are heavier, only by a few hundred though...

 

Well, in that particular case...

Yes his was an SE w/ 1 passenger
But on HIS car and JAY25's supercharged I30.....I pulled on both (believe it or not)

Next day Jay put the stock ECU in and tore me a new one.

If I were you, Id go w/ 5th gen VI and stock ecu...[maybe a black SE grille too]

 

I won't do a black grille yet, I'm going to hold off on that until I do rims and smoked cefiros. I like Flavor 24/7's but I don't want to be an EXACT twin lol. Black grille does look nice on yours though.

I was going to do the 00vi, but I honestly don't have a place around here that will do it. Plus, I'm not going to be racing it at the track, it's just going to be for my enjoyment. Getting on the highway, maybe some quick driving here or there, nothing serious.

MEVI is easier to install i've heard and read.... so that's why I'll do it. If I had an expert in the area I'd do it, but on nycmaximas.org a few people that went to MaximumTuning in Glen Cove, NY said they weren't happy with how they installed the 00vi, etc, so that makes me shy away from it.

I can't imagine how a stock ECU could be better, and like Nealoc said, he gained a few mph in his trap speed, so I'm thinking its something with their setups maybe?

Flywheel does help in getting the engine to spin faster, I think I'd give you a better race then those guys, imo. But no telling really. on winning though...

 

Yea do what you want to do, Im not trying to say otherwise, just my opinion.

I seriously dont know 100% what was causing the JWT to act like it did. But, like you said you want a "QUICKER" daily driver, hahah...it'll be real quick.

 

Digi. Looking good over there. Yeah let me know if you need help with any installs. I around. I would do the mevi if your not looking to hack your whip. I know I would not want to . I recently found a guy who had his motor built in a 98 and is pushing a lil over 300 whp without any f/i. Gonna resaerch it a lil more and go from there. Also go with the C.E. y pipe. The headers are not worth the money. No huge gain.
