Anyone else still modding their original car for 15 years or more?

 

damn 15 year is a long *** time haha for one car too

P.S. i see you are in vegas, i would love to see the i30krab in person after reading your sig

 

Pictures please

 

its maxy's 17th birthday this month, lookingto do engine and much more in 2012.

 

Mine is my first car, got her in Feb. of 04. I don't throw cash into her like I used to, but I have a pile of new parts laying around. A complete DEK, Fidanza flywheel, Competition clutch, new fenders and rad. support just to name a few. Sometimes general maintenance turns into a mod. Had torn seats, got 99 I30t seats. Needed brakes, upgraded to 00-01 brakes. Needed a belt tensioner and belts, installed a UR pulley.

 

 

Hey, better late than never, I hope everything works out!

 

Nice ride. Care to share some dyno #s.

 

That's an awesome ride! There are quite a lot of stickers there lol. Nice to see people to go all out with their cars as it reaps some nice results

 

Is that a custom strut bar?

 

I said a HOT DAMNNNN.....Nice...

 

looks like a damn roll bar lol

 

Yes, it is welded and bolted to a steel reinforced area on the firewall.

 

Yes, it's a custom roll bar welded and bolted at 6 points.

 

All stickers and decals are invisible from the outside when all doors, hood, and trunk are closed. No rice here!!

 

more pix of the leather wrapped roll cage naooowww

 

The last dyno was at Jim Wolf Technologies about 4 years ago. With the nitrous & supercharger it put down 435- 440 FWD HP. I forget the exact #'s.
They couldn't get a torque reading because my torque converter wouldn't lock up.

Jim Wolf was pissed because my car shut down his dyno twice and he thought for sure I was running over 100 octane race gas. I assured him I was running 81 octane from Costco.

I never bother posting my dyno slip because I misplaced it but my car should be on the 400 FWD HP or over list!

 

Nice to see the car is still around

 

Roll bar brace behind front seat.



Panel for all relays & fuses for aftermarket mods.

 

Beautiful car man.

 

glad im not the only automatic lol

 

^there's tons of Auto's lol^

car is beautiful and tasty lol

 

I purchased my car in 97 and Im still modding...........

 

lol yeah i know but i know its looked down upon in the world of elitism. but **** it im confident about my auto.

 

I bought a 95 Maxima in 2001, sold it in 2003 and bought this I30 that I've been modding ever since. Lots more mods coming in the next month or two

 

Nice to see you are still around. The max is my 1st car since 2002. Finally got a daily driver so i can start to really push the maxima and see what the built 3.5 can do.

Autos FTW, they are proven to outlive the glass 5sp.

 

Awesome car bro.. That makes me want to keep modding my car.

 

Need a sticker that says " let me know when your vtec kicks in" haha

 

Reverse modification for the most part, LOL. Removed my AWIC and J&S Ultrasafegard (J&S was causing major misfiring problem). Mine is still mild compared to yours!

Life changes alot after having a kid... (for some )

 

should be "My V(or)tec(h) beats your vtec"...

 

OK, gotta ask, original tranny? 400 to the wheels must be beating that 4AT to within an inch of its life

DW

 

his sig says built tranny

 

OK, I deserved that

 

I like 2!

 

I still have my 4th gen, I bought it in 2001, its supercharged etc etc now. I remember the Stillen days when you would show up. (my original sn from 2000 was 'banned' because I'm no longer a vendor on this forum)

I also have a white 96 I30t 5spd I'm daily driving now (in addition to 5 other Nissan/Infinitis)

 

It's always good to see a thread like this. Keep up the good work.

 

Car looks great, I just started an excel spreadsheet to see how much I've spent on mods and maintenance that includes purcahse price and maint from previous owner....... Wonder how much have been put onto this one. Beautiful car nonetheless.

 

Shes gorgeous!! Can I bug you for some stance pics?

 

OG right there

 

nice
