5th gen Off Topic Thread (Official Ghustle thread v1)
it is crazy... great for the artist but it was one of those things where it seemed like people was craving a new trend and that song just got played the right time cause its been on the radio for maybe 3 moths now lol
Hence why buying one already built is much more appealing. I don't have a sterile environment ot build an engine.
Also, I CF wrapped the pillar this morning. And I actually dont mind it. First cf job so far that doesn't look aweful.
I will let it settle in for a week or so and if I still like it probably do it in REAL CF.

And it means the roof, etc will all need to be done in a black fabric or something also.
this may be the 1st full game of golf that ive watch and i cant lie its pretty exciting how this lil 17yr old kid just blew by phil mickelson and walked in tiger woods to be in the lead for the US open.... amaaaazing lol
no arguments here... however i will say this, its not by much as yonstar (purple maxima) has a G35 sedan HR with the same mods as JP's G37 coupe and them dudes are almost similar in rwhp... JP has a lil bit more but i think just in weight they are pretty similar cars on a street pull... i personally agrre that the 3.7 still edges out though

Reliability between all the different VQ's are arguable. There are big power examples of all of them on stock blocks. (500+whp) But at the same time, there are examples of all that have given up on pretty embarassing numbers (low 300hp). Just like anything, too many variables to draw a valid conclusion. But as far as raw power goes, the successor will always make more power given that all variables are the same.
lmao. Not JP!!!!!!!!

Search "injector clinic".
well to me reliability isnt judge on which motor is 1st to blow, but even the simple fact that the 3.5DE's have oil burning issues (not every single one of them but waaaaaaaaaaay more than the DEK's) then i take pts away in the reliability aspect... and because of the oil issue with the 3.5's its more likely for failures (not bashing the 3.5's *before somebody misquotes me), i love the 3.5's but just those small factors that many people may not even run into are the reason the 3.0 got the slight edge, and because that was fixed in the HR and it performs better then it gets my vote, i dont really spend much time reading up on the 3.7's lol
Me on the other hand, if that b!tch start up and run for 200k miles while leakin/burning oil while being abused it's whole life. That's what I see as reliability. lol.
I think weight plays a role in that too like you said. But you are completely correct on real world performance not being that much different between the two. You see the difference more when you throw the 370z into the mix. That chassis is quite a bit better when talking about nothing but performance.
You talking about ghost max? lol. Didn't that motor last a week because the stock injectors couldn't flow enough? Either way, I know the motor itself can handle that. But stock injectors can't flow enough to keep up and chances are the motor ill go prematurely if he stays in boost alot. If not, either I'm wrong, or someone poked a few more holes in those injectors.

400 will be where I'm likely at because 6psi on a centrifugal SC is 2/3's of fuak all.
And stock DE-k injectors at 400whp? no way.
I want to run at least 10+ so i actually have boost down low as well, not just when it's at high RPM.

Thanks dude
I still have some tweaking to do but it's a billion times better than stock.

I see your point of view on that. Depending on the person you talk to, that might or might not be a judge of reliability in their eyes. But since that is a part of reliability in your point of view, you are 100% correct.

sound like a mawfcukin jamaican there
350 Will be simple. 6 psi and a tune with supporting mods will get that.
400 will be where I'm likely at because 6psi on a centrifugal SC is 2/3's of fuak all.

There's a few things that acheive this 3 biggest are Centrif SC Roots SC and Turbo.
i know what boost is..... i was just asking you a question of did i guess wrong..................... which i did.... man just supercharge the damn thing already
Just got back from the local vinyl shop. There's a visual mod in the works for the G next week when I'm having the lower rear bumper vinyl wrapped in dark gray. Been slowly working towards this idea for some time, and it's going to happen next week.
Pics when it happens, if only so Hustler can say how much he hates it.

Gunmetal ish is all I can think of.
Satin black is still preferred for this, IMO.
But I am still excited to see the result!
I agree with your logic, if you boost the stock engine & it turns out not so good you're without the G until you replace it. Which would have to be a rush job. Vs. A known good engine you can buy for cheap money & take the time to build properly so it will last. My ONLY point of contention is favoring a positive displacement blower setup for a reliable DD power-plant. Yes, more intensive/expensive but worth it in the long run since you plan to keep the car. I don't know if you saw the tech piece I quoted RE: the different types of blowers but here it is again. To explain my logic behind not going with a centrifugal blower. http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ml#post8512147
1. Horrible sound
2. Constant boost
Centrifugal trumps in 2 big ways when you want a DD IMO:
1. sounds awesome
2. can operate like a N/A engine under normal driving conditions. running vacuum still. Less invasive issues due to this as well as prolonged internal engine life (if stock internals) because they're not seeing constant boost like they do with twin turbos or positive roots blower
im pulling the plug on one mod this upcoming tuesday... the SAFC deal already is put on pause by the seller, the wideband seller seems pretty iffy (all maxima owners of course go figure)... hopefully CJ just hears back about those coilovers as thats the mod i really have in mind lol
Stop making things more complicated than they have to be, everyone knows what boost is. Where did you get your degree and in what? I used to be a chemistry major at UGA until I switched to business and I consider myself fairly edjumacated but I don't talk like you on the internet. Sounds very....condescending
..... hopefully its not for 18yrs, becuase life will come at him fast

lol a friend of mine is going through a crazy x breakup right now. Lied she was pregnant. Comes over to his mom's house and grandma's house trying to find him. She even tried to hang herself once for attention and he had to call the cops. Once you see a girl has an abnormal amount of crazy in her? No matter how hot she is you must run away. These girls have no shame in today's society whether they be white, black, or any other race for that matter

yup, and unless it was a one night stand where she poked the condom then you will always see signs in chicks showing the crazy... if you hang out with a crazy chick just 1 time for just an hour tops you can tell she is crazy because she will have something about her life or opinions and views on certain things that will tell you that the bish is crazy lol... just a matter of being observative lol
I did have one chick in there I asked her favorite colour, worked well, she was pretty floored after the drive and it didn't take much chivalry after that

It was fun.Yeah Centrifugal SC, just like you'd do to a DE-K
Lol it sounds all have had an experience dealing with "the crazy". Usually at first they are fine but then as time goes on you can see they are abnormally jealous. Now I like a little bit of jealously. It shows they care and its hot when they get bothered a little. The next factor is mistrust for no apparent reason. Going through your phone, wanting to know exactly what you are doing all hours of the day etc. There are certainly common factors in girls diagnosed with "the crazy"

lol maybe im a lil too critical but im extremely observative, if a chick has certain jokes its an alarm for me lol

I am a licenced truck and coach technician. But that's just another complication of a term.
just a friendly observation. People tell me I talk the same way. I always have to be careful to say the words "in my opinion" before I open my mouth or else it sounds like I'm spewing absolute facts about everything and anything. I think I am better now, hopefully
I've had 2 trojans break on me, I'm never using one again (waiting out the next few months was a stressful nightmare!)
I've never had a problem with Lifestyle condoms, they're what I normally use
