Dude it never mattered if I missed an oil change, drove the fuak out of it, whatever. Anytime I checked that oil or anything, levels were always 100% perfect. ALWAYS.
never a drip of oil or anytihng. That thing is so solid I have so much confidence in it. I'd boost that to 10 psi and not be concerned at all.

Carbon ceramic rotors ?!?!?!? 
dayyyyum.
Can you imagine the cost to do brakes n that thing? guessing like $20,000?
Yuuuup
Same here. Loved that DE-K though it was gutless (for me), love the 3.5 more. But if they had a RWD DE-K I'd be tempted to put it in and boost that. Just a way stronger engine all around.

If both engines are cared for, tuned, maintained and monitored right they will be fine. Nismomaxct has a pretty sick boosted 3/5, He would be one to ask about those. Those brakes are on a Ferrari 458 Italia spider i cleaned earlier today, I think your right on the money in the 20,000 area

This is one of those time where i look at all your G's, and 3.5's and realize how tired I am of the 3.0. Great engine reliability and DD wise, but it REALLY dosen't have much of anything down low. One of the main reasons i love my Pathfinder and it's torque happy 4.0, Anything above 2500RPM's and you start moving. Just so much low end torque. Just sucks i'm still in high school and can't afford to do a 3.5 swap on my current max, or purchase an 03 MT, or an 03-04 G.

250? It says 2500 in your quote. No, i don't feel it's a harsh statement. A stock 3.0 IS pretty gutless down low, Up above 5k, Yeah it pulls with some low end bimmers. But down low? No, it IS a slug.

DEK vs DE is waaaay less impressive compared to a 3.5 DE HR comp.
3.0 let's see IM and exhaust cams ... Which in comparison are less aggressive but they work well together for some reason.
3.5 ok IM dual MAFs cams heads EVT Compression ratio and it's late and I'm missing a few but yeah HR is the holy grail of 3.5'ness.
I'm out .... Til the AM

Oh, i'm comletely sure it's biased BUT i'm not comparing them side by side. I was just saying that is the thing i like so much about the truck, the low end torque.
Nah not enough room to play really. Too much work. And I don't need a 550 WHP street cruiser, that's just silly.
I WANT a twin turbo setup, I much prefer turbo over sc, but given the application and costs, time, reliability, etc, a SC build has way more Checks in the "PRO" column than the Turbo does.
The DE-K is one of those engines that takes boost no problem. That freaking engine is so phenominal it never ceases to amaze me. Nissan killed it with that one. The 3.5 is awesome but reliability/build quality doesn't even come close.
If the Maxima wasn't so crappy of a platform (IMO) and was Manual, I'd have a boosted DE-K right now without a doubt.
Actually I stil lhave the Maxima, I drove it Tuesday. It was aweful

You guys must have not seen what I wrote about that 3.5 down here. Daily driven on boost making around 370whp. Regular track and dyno days. And now takes regular abuse on a 150 shot. Hasn't been tuned in a couple years. And when it was, it was just a basic A/F tune with a EB via maf correction.
oh o.k cool lol
id have to go to facebook to search that... srry those arent saved
you know other than riding around the block, coilovers dont need to 'settle' like a spring/strut setup
