Putting Clashez on the ignore list should be a mandatory prerequisite to join this thread.

 

I'm grandfathered...

 

QFT

 

I'm looking for a set of 7 spoke 18x8 G35 HyperSilver coupe wheels, for reasonably cheap.

 

HFCs + Tune = 30whp, I was shocked.

And one day the VVEL will be cracked.... Then it's on



We have a set that was painted black and have some curb scratches, an easy fix following that kid's How To in the 5th gen section.

$500 plus shipping?

 

Cankle bandit is here

 

 

Looks like a damn hotwheel car.

 

Berk HFC's are happening Spring 2013.
Stillen (?) Cat-back in 2014.
Stillen Gen-3 long-tube intake in 2015.

At which point, I'll explore tuning options. Figure by then, who knows what the aftermarket crowd will have discovered about the G and that engine. Remember how long it took for the Maxima tuner community to get on board with phenolic spacers and 3.0" exhausts?

 

trying to figure out what car that is i think its an Alfa spider of some sort.

 

Well what exactly is your question and I will happily answer it for you

 

Thanks, but considering I'll need to repaint & just w/shipping to RI we're probably talking >$600 all said & done. Bit too much for my current budget.

 

No. Don't need a truck. A trailer with a tow hitch on a car would be nice. Trucks are pointless for 80% of the consumers who have them.


If you have a set with good winter tires that you can ship for free or insanely cheap, sure.

Steep bro.

 

You can't compare the Maxima community and any other modding community, we are about the weakest/lamest when it comes to good mods coming out, we are quick to judge, slow to accept, and cheap with our money, I don't regret my 3" purchase still to this date, I am very glad I have a quality bolt on and bolt off product.

Will I buy another one? Of course not, I'm making something better of course

Aluminum 3"



M30?

[edit]

It's 4 bolt.... So s13 vert?



The same as all of us, you dont have the mods you say you have.

 

Lol you right clashez has been a very bad troll lol
Having a going back to stock sale on the maxima ... everything is for sale

 

You're telling me that an old Nissan Frontier with 4WD and M&S tires wouldn't suit you during the winter months? Really?

 

I dig.

Winter? What is this winter you speak of? And why does it need tires?

You think that's steep? You should see the bold *** price we have on car-part

We're just high when it comes to wheels, it's the nature of the Salvage industry.

 

This is all true. Harsh, but true.

Yes. Winner.

 

Sooo..... There isn't much of a sale is there?

 

As an aside unless it's for weight reduction Aluminum isn't the best choice for intake/exhaust. Problem is it's a great heat conductor, it'll heatsoak the intake charge & cool the exhaust, both are bad for performance.

 

Nope. There are 2 trucks I'd consider:

1. 96-02 Chevy 1500
2. Nissan Hardbody

The first being my first pick. Ugly, reliable, mediocre on fuel.

Ah well, guess so. I'd never get wheels from you then lmao. Expecially salvage wheels, they'd be worth less to me due to the accident and rough handling. And if I had a problem not like I can just send them back for replacement lolz.

And lolz about winter. Hence the 'pun'. I know you don't have winter tires

 

Meh. I've considered it, but the catback doesn't really even get that hot (Then again I didn't have a test pipe...... I wonder how a TP would affect EGTs).

I could put my hands on the cattman after about 20 mins of waiting.

Same w/ my OBX headers.

 

Just wait till you destroy one of your G37 wheels... You'll come a runnin

That's why we rarely sell them as sets, always sell em one at a time.

 

Yeah, I just couldn't pass up the deal I got for these springs and adjustable Illuminas. I know coilovers are better, but it took Eddie and I 2 hours to do the complete swap and the car is 1000 times better than it was. Springs aren't THAT bad...

 

That's because stainless is a good thermal barrier & keeps heat in the exhaust gas where you want it to stay.

 

AGX's + Stiff Springs + Rear Sway Bar =/= the handling of BC Coilovers

Struts+Springs are just not for true performance, it's only a cop out when there's nothing better to buy.

Dude the SS on cattman's / obx's are damn near paper thin, you gotta be kidding me.....

 

Well, for starters... Where did you buy them?

 

There was a big big difference in the look of Chevy 1500's from 96 to 2002. Unless Canada is that much different, the body change came in 99 and they stopped making Silverado classics (or Chevy C/K's) in 2000.

 

no its not a nissan, I definitely think its an alfa:

 

at that title loan thread

 

It's some early 90s vert.

There. done.

 

And, of course, he's from Houston.

 

Same here! Over the winter, I got a set of BNIB Eibachs/Illuminas w/F/R OEM boots, mounts, bearings & ES LCA bushings just sitting in the garage. Paid $560 shipped, couldn't pass that up. I should get my azz in gear & install them. But I got rust problems to deal w/1st. If the car's a total rust-bucket it might not worth modding.

 

Nah they're worth it... Just wear goggles and have extra bolts, screws, time and money when modding.

Certainly been a learning experience w/ the White Nightmare, made me really appreciate how well taken care of the red car was.

 

One of the reasons I like living on the west coast (except the actual beachfront cities). No one I know has a rust bucket.

 

One thing I did discover is that it's hard to get that back bolt on the rear springs when you have large hands....and you gotta have a hell of a wobbly to get any torque on it because of the angle. That was by far the most difficult part of the job and it still only took a couple hours to do everything. Big advantage though is my friend Eddie owns a shop with lifts and air tools and everything you could possibly need. Definitely helps having the right tools for the job!

 

No lie. It all has to do with the thermal properties of the metal. Just like a microscopically thin transparent coating of Aluminum works as a thermal barrier on low-E glass. It reflects heat, but if it was thicker it would conduct it. Weird stuff to wrap your head around!

 

My basic plan is to take care of all the rust on the car as #1 priority. Then go from there once it's a solid piece, but if there's no way it's going to be solid. Find another Maxima that's solid (not that easy in NE) & Mod that car.

 

coulda bought mine

 

Well, where I live isn't the best environment. Snow/salt in the winter, I'm coastal & can sometimes smell the salt air if the wind is right.
