And? You talking trash about everyone else and their cars in here, and spending all this supposed money your supposed RHD-to-be Maxima isn't?
Sorry that I don't want your wife and her "slutty" friends crawling all over my "minty fresh" paint on my car.

It's odd looking, to say the least, to see the spring mounts sitting empty, but doing a true-style coilover in the rear end apparently increase oversteer a good bit, because doing so basically doubles the spring rate.

its cool man... you said what u meant... unfortunately u wouldve got an *** whooping for it.... that somehow didnt sit well, but hey it wasnt about me so carry on

3rd gear is still terrrriiiiiibbbblllleeeee though.
Car is fcking flying till that shift into 3rd, then it's just making noise.
Shiidd before the 3" catback he was tied w/ my friends 08 Nismo.... until the auto's 3rd....
I bet with an extended red line though it'd be better cause you'd be in the better part of the powerband, more of the reason nmexmaxmanmanny needs to get to Maxus.

Look at ths shti, its my 4th gen, but it's the same gear ratios as the 5.5 gen (not numerically, the FD changed in 2000 to accommodate the larger diameter wheel, hence resulting in the same overall gear ratios) This is the top of 2nd:
HATE the 4AT.
Also, this is an old dyno of the 5.5 gen, but, I did a 2nd and 3rd gear run, for comparison reasons with respect to speed:
Gives you an idea of what power is being made at the shift.

But if you want to take it personally, fine. I don't understand why you're just now attacking me for it. That happened...almost a half-hour ago?
Let sleeping dogs lie, Denver. Let it go. It's done and over with. John made me realize what I did wrong.
It'll be alright.

Yep im very much so chilling
john made u realize huh... john must be ur pappi huh lmao... i saw the edit and ud still get punched but i will let sleeping dogs lie....
Hey, I took it back, and editted it for the sake of, well, becase I wouldn't want someone saying the same about my significant other in that sense. I editted it to be said in lighter, much less personal way.

I'd just woken up. I'm grumpy when I first wake up; maybe I'm getting old. But I had a momentary lapse, because trying to read Clashez's posts is like waving a red flag in front of an angry bull to me at times. John corrected me.
But get punched because I refuse to let some guy's girls crawl all over my car?
Okay. Sorry to hear you're taking that comment so personally, man.
So if you went to a car show, and some chick came up and started crawling all over your car while her boyfriend was taking her pictures, and you didn't want that to happen, you'd expect to get punched by her boyfriend for telling her you wanted her kept off your car?

i know... i really dont care... maybe our cultural barrier is causing the confusion... but this is me not giving a **** about (_________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________) much

Now I am....
30 more mins to go....
But the G is made overseas, so
There's been a horrible trend lately (IMO) with exhaust tips. Tips that are exposed are almost always oval, and for no particular reason I can explain. And tips that are integrated into the rear bumper are invisible, with an awkwardly unbalanced opening surrounded in tacky, plastic chrome trim.
I weep for the design fail on details most consumers ignore, or are inexplicably impressed by because the bling is so obvious that it just must be good.
Which goes back to my point with hustler. If a small detail is obvious by intent, then it's tacky, and should be mocked.

Hrmmm good insight... Now exhaust tips are going to be bothering me
Good. Good.
Do it before I take the plunge and attempt it myself.
I didn't ... Dallas is closer to me, hence my plans back in 06, H-town on the other hand, less likely I'll go.
I was more stating the tip situation vs. the resonator. But if we're speaking from a scaling POV, then yes, the 3" should have been bigger. (resonator) It's basically the same exact body size as the 2.5" but with 3" piping (less resonating capability).
Yep, the extended rev limit is necessary with the 4AT.

I'd just woken up. I'm grumpy(constipation) when I first wake up; maybe I'm getting old(reality setting in). But I had a momentary lapse(got blasted last night listing to Pink Floyd), because trying to read Clashez's posts is like waving a red flag in front of an angry bull to me at times. John corrected me.

has his wife ever come crawling on your car and him taking pics??? still a low blow... dont try to twist the reason why you said it... because im not buying that... that's like me saying hey brett i would let ur wife scuk my dcik but then twist it and say hey if there was a chick im atrracted to, give me that opportunity wouldnt you do it too... cmon man dont play innocent.... and yea i made my story extreme because for whatever reason thats how low it went to me... if u were really srry for the low blow you would erase the whole thing... be the bigger man... leave he mans wife out of it...
#2671
I took down the photo, and made it a universal jab (mock/joke/whatever you want to call it) that could be applied to anyone in any situation. Without being a direct attack.
It wasn't my intent for it to be taken so personally. I just went about cracking a joke in an improper way.

You know what? Fcck it. I'm just going to delete the whole thing.
Not that I agree or disagree with you, Denver.
I'm just getting a headache trying to read walls of text right now.
If I can avoid a wall of text, I'll do it.
We have an Enter key for a reason.

You bish
Now I am....

It is... It is....
Hrmmm good insight... Now exhaust tips are going to be bothering me
Good. Good.
Do it before I take the plunge and attempt it myself.
Jesus..... Just extend 2nd gear to like 95-100mph and we're good then...

Actually, something that's interesting about this setup, is that a lot of the G coupe guys on coilovers will take their setup, and put the springs on the coilover shock, making it a true Macpherson-style setup.
It's odd looking, to say the least, to see the spring mounts sitting empty, but doing a true-style coilover in the rear end apparently increase oversteer a good bit, because doing so basically doubles the spring rate.

(The G doubles the lower spring seat as a toe arm, it's adjustable)
List of parts that need to be replaced to do the job properly:
2x Front Strut assemblies swapped to Coilover assemblies
2x Front Upper Control arms, swapped to Camber Adjustable Upper Control Arms
2x Rear spring assemblies and mounts swapped to Adjustable mount/collars and springs
2x Rear Shocks Swapped to Adjustable Struts
2x Rear Solid beams Swapped to Adjustable Camber Arms
2x Rear Toe Bolts Swapped to Cammed Toe Bolts
Then drop, raise it, a Rough Allignment set-up, height set up Drive, remove and Re-set Rear Dampers if needed. Then a proper allignment.
On top of this, you have to factor in a 10 year old car in Canada, and all the rust/seized components that come with it.
