skyline kit for the max?

Is there a skyline kit that fits the max? No flames please, I just gotta check since I can't own a skyline right now. I did the search came up empty.

LucentMax uses this in is sig and says it's his max (I don't believe it). What I'm asking, is there a kit like this for the max?

yeah, right...so, he didn't want to spend $80 grand to buy a new Skyline so he turned his 4door maxima into a wide-body 2 door? i don't think so..that pics a Skyline...

Motorex did have a blue 5th gen maxima with Skyline R34 front/red end conversion. now that's cool...

What the hell is in this skyline that is worth $90,000?
Or is that just inflated for importing? If so, how much is it in Japan?

And what the hell is all this crap about a skyline? Why they so good?

to tell u the truth, the car isn't worth $90 grand...it's probably worth like $50 grand...but..as u can tell from the engine code, RB26DETT, it comes with twin-turbo motor from the factory(which you can tune the hell out of it) and one of the world's best all wheel drive system...Skyline's always been one of the best handling cars in the world...there are lots and lots of aftermarket support for the Skyline(namely APEXi, HKS, and Trust) and it's not rare to see these car pumping out close to 800-900 hps...

Specs only show the stock on at 277hp. What the hell you putting into it that gets it to 800-900hp? Holy crap.............

well, in Japan, they have little bit more horse power(go figure, it turns out Japanese are not tree huggers like Americans)...

to go from say 300 stock to 800 with a RB26DETT...
1)bigger turbo(in this case, bigger turbos).
2)larger intercooler
3)boost controller
4)fully built motor(this includes all the usual stuff..pistons, rods, cams, cam gears...)
5)extensive intake and exhaust manifold work....
6)computers...

The 277 number is misleading. In Japan, the major manufacturers can only declare a car has 280hp maximum. What they actually make, who knows, but the maximum amount of power a manufacturer can declare for the car is 280.

Skylines

The MotoRex Maxima with the Skyline conversion, the blue one, is an R33 conversion. It has the tailights where each circle is the same size. There is another conversion done to a yellow Maxima, which is the R34 conversion but only the tailights, but not from MotoRex. In Japan the manufacturers are only allowed to claim 280 BHP which is about 276 HP. The Skyline, R34, has roughly about 315 HP, and its complex 4WD system distributes torque independently to each wheel, great for launches. It also has some sort of different brake system, advanced, regular cars won't be offering it as a standard for at least 5-10 more years. It's like the Supra in many ways, but even better. 315 HP @ 6800, 293 ft-lbs of torque @ 4400, i think its ET is similar to the Supra, and in Japan its costs roughly 57,000 US dollars, only if u import it here, it gets tax raped.

Motorex did do a conversion of a Maxima into a skyline, but it was a R33. Rumor has it that Pioneer sponsored 10Gs for the that fella for the conversion.

My apology Irvine78, no flame intended for the correction. I didn't know someone had addressed it earlier. I was momentarily spaced out.

I read somewhere before that Motorex can do the conversion for 10G's. I myself wanted to do the conversion but not for that kinda money. However maybe if it included a S/C it wouldnt be too bad hmmmmm.....
