I really hope you don't assume that a VQ30 and a 6G72 are the same engine simply because they're both 3.0L...

LOL at comparing your car to Flava's. Apples and oranges my friend, IMO of course.

Double LOL at your estimated?? HP numbers. Or do you have a dyno to prove said hp??

Some punctuation and proper grammar/spelling wouldn't hurt either. That was hard to read/understand.

Triple LOL at your sig....

I wondered in here off the main page.

Attatch that ugly body kit to your car properly, AFTER you've painted it the right color.
Engine bay looks pretty, it has every color of the rainbow. I can't see any "mods" that would put you even close to 260hp. The only obvious mod, is the DOWNgrade in CAI (that stands for Cool Air Intake).
Everything glows irridescent white when you flash a camera 20mm away from it.
Where is this different intake manifold?
"you have to have a sleeper to put this on your car if its not a skyline", yes, 1 down 2 to go, now all you need is STI and Type R for that "extra sleeper" look. That will keep the cops and the Supra's off your ***. Get the GTR badge OFF the Maxima, Rice boy!

I could go on and on, but my fingers would be very sore before the end.

I'm so glad I sent the link of Maxima.Org to Nate... Seriously though man... why are you going to try and fool a bunch of guys that are far more familiar with this car then you are? We know what a VQ30DE and USDM Intake Manifold looks like and that's exactly what you have.

Are you ? 300 hp Maxima only running a 14.8@98 mph??? Look at my sig... I run better times than you and probably make only low 200 hp. Does the math not add up right? How in the world would you beat a 250 hp Mazda 6? Well... Did you do a power/weight ratio comparison? Did you think about HP delivery and the remapped delivery with the JWT ECU?

3000GT VR4 Vs. Maxima... Different Car, Same Motor but Turbo? That's like saying my 3SGTE All Trac Celica is the same motor as an EVO's 4G63...

Oh yeah... and your Email to me saying:

"I am not i have all jdm parts for an autocross look jdm skyine headlights tail lights the body kit i picked up for 300 and its poly urathane aso im pushing 300hp 14.8 sec 14 mile i never got a chance 2 paint the body kit tho"

Muahahahaha! Rediculous!

WOW, How do our cars look alike?
My parts arent unpainted flat black items. They are all carbon fiber pieces. Ive put a lot of time/money into my ride and to be compared to one that has cheap parts slapped onto it with various gaps and etc. is just a plain insult. Im not sure what you got going on with that ride but it sure as heck doesnt look like mine. I can gaurantee you that my car would never be mistaken for yours.
Now back to the 300hp thing, what power adders do you have that got you to that mark? If you truly think tha adding a modded ECU with a pulley, CAI and exhaust will do it thats almost as funny as your "skymax"

I don't even know where to begin

Underdrive pulley - 0hp
CAI - 0hp
megan catback & no cat - 0hp
+
____________
0hp

So...you got 100 hp from injectors and a JWT ecu? WOW!

also, I hope you have something to tune with....I'm pretty sure you need one for diff. injectors..

and for not painting the bodykit/bumpers. I could understand if it was just a lipkit, but the whole damned bumper?

A 3000GT and a Maxima do not have the same motor...true, they both have 3L, but the similarities end there.

You better hope no one who knows Maximas comes to see the car...although since your'e trying to sell it as a "Skymax" that's all you're likely to get.

Huh? Same motor, one has a turbo.
If you add a turbo to a VQ30DE, you can safely call it a VQ30DET. Not that this guy has done that though. Unless you mean pulling a VQ30DET(T) from a 300ZX or something, then yeah, "rwd motor".

Correction... If you are referring to a 300ZX motor I believe there is a NYC Maxima that has done this motor swap. Different transmission for FWD though cause the Maxima frame would take too much work to be able to fit the driveshaft for a rear diff.

VQ30DET = VQ30DE Turbocharged... Completely possible

RB26 in a Maxima.... Different story. Anything is possible with enough time, $$$, and fabrication... But looking at Nate's Domain Page... That's a VQ30DE.. and that's all it is... 180-190 whpish w/ those mods... NOT 300

Well im not a big fan of the car, but who cares what other people think of it. You dont need e-approval to buy a car. If you like it just get it... Just make sure the car checks out and runs good.

Even if the car does suck it shouldnt matter, people do things to their car that they like... I dont like alot of things people do to their cars on this website but I would NEVER bash them... thats f*cked up.

If you add a turbo to a VQ30DE, you can safely call it a VQ30DET. Not that this guy has done that though. Unless you mean pulling a VQ30DET(T) from a 300ZX or something, then yeah, "rwd motor".
Mind pointing out which 300zx came with a VQ30DETT? ...yea.

A VQ30DET and a VQ30DE (or DE-K) aren't 'the same motor'. For one, the VQ30DET block won't bolt into a FWD chassis. There are several other differences as well.

You could call it a VQ30DET, but it'll never be an actual VQ30DET.

VQ30DET = VQ30DE Turbocharged... Completely possible

RB26 in a Maxima.... Different story. Anything is possible with enough time, $$$, and fabrication... But looking at Nate's Domain Page... That's a VQ30DE.. and that's all it is... 180-190 whpish w/ those mods... NOT 300
If you're refering to a 300ZX, it has a VG30DE(TT), not a VQ30DET.

The first Z to use a VQ is the 350Z, with the VQ35DE, 84-89 300ZXs were VG30E or VG30ET, or in Japan (and other parts of the world) VG20E, VG20ET, VG20DE, RB20DET, and VG30DE. 90-96 (or 99) 300ZXs were available with a VG30DE or a VG30DETT.
