I want to do the same mod with the hood that the maxima got in the fast and furious. like How that maxima hood opens. Anybody know how he did it? In addition, I want to do the flames coming out of my car but with out harm done to my car lol.

If I remember correctly, to do the hood opener is $600

Hmmmm.... i don't remember seeing the maxima in Fast and the Furious. What kind of "hood mod" was it?? Is it when they open the hood the opposite way (hinges up front and opens from back)?

yus

You may compromise the engineering of the hood action in a front on collision. There are two indentations on under the hood where they are to buckle under impact and avoid shoving into your windshield.

hmm.... well i think the only difference w/ this mod would be the hinges being on the opposite side... other than that i think the indentations would still be functional

Maybe it's just me, but with the hood opening up the oposite way, it looks like it would be a little harder to work on the engine.

I always thought it would be harder to work on engine also.

actually, i think it'd be easier to work with, since the hood goes striaght up. Oh yea, that maxima in that movie was cool, except for the fact he didn't have a maxima sign on it.

I liked the tail pipe the best.

Thats Craig Leibermans Maxima. The Supra is his to. I've got pictures of his car on my cardomain site.

I'm sure it would be easier to reach things in the back, but some things are just more accessible from the front.

needed some type of spoiler....

i agree... that was one nasty burn out he did. The mod that i want is the clinking metal sound when the elcipse shifted. I heard it was a lock shifter made by hurst, however i have heard people with those and that sound is not the same. who knows?

Yeah, after all it WAS a movie

yea it is a pretty hot mod

i think he also had stock red/orange tail lights

yea...now he has altezas and a veilside carbon fiber spoiler.

Did the flames come out the side doors?

there was a maxima in the movie?

There was no Maxima. There was a Minima though. An extremely ugly one at that.

People. Go to this site...

There is a maxima...its Craig Lieberman's driven by the character Vince in the movie. Boo ya.

Peace - Chad

They know that.

As for the hood, imagine getting to the dipstick.
-Cyrus

are you sure thats a maxima?
maybe a done up altima.. i don't know.

hope you're joking...

now i'm really confused..

Man, I think it is obvious to anyone that the car on the link is a maxima. I advise you to rent the movie.. While your at it maybe get a subscription to a car magazine.....

Any person that has seen the movie knows that was a maxima in there. it was talked about on here before the movine even came out.

does a nice smokey burnout in a public neighborhood.. a big no no! Kids, don't try this at home or your neighbors will hate you for life

The burnout was likely bleach on the tires. There's no way with only 265hp and a stock pulley he could burn out like that with an Auto without some "assistance".

All the cool exhaust noises and clutch noises (and everything else) was done after the fact, and most of those sounds are reproduced.

Remember, it's a movie.

does bleach work better than oil?

lol i gotta try bleach. i was wonder if you guy can forget about the max for a minute and see if you remember the other cars. hehehe . i want to do that flames thingy with my muffler. anybody know how? will out blowing up my car .

Put a spark plug in your tailpipe.

Also, the hood on the F&F Maxima is in a similar style to the 280Z's....stock, I believe.

IanS

I don’t think that the spark plug will work on a fuel injector cars.

Sure it will. Our cars run rich naturally stock. the small amounts of fuel in the tailpipe get ignited when they pass the sparkplug.

You just need a switch and a source (the battery) to ignite th plug.

IanS

lol .. i tried with a lighter one time. . and nothing happend. do i have to punch it and than hit the switch? can i put the spark plug on the tip of the tip of the muffler?

Let me borrow your car and I'll show you a burnout

I had a Z buddy of mine tell me he couldn't get his auto NA Z to do a burnout so I hopped in his car and did a 30 second burnout for him. I wish I had that picture...

I have seen modified rx7's shoot flames, not as drastic as F&F but doing it naturally from all that fuel looking for air.

Just thought of that...
