Didnt make it out... Maybe later this week. Wife wants to see if too.

But she really wants to see Star Trek too, so might have to see that first

 

no way to adjust it man, If your lowered you need a QT link for the rear to even it back out, mine was riding .45 out on that one side till I installed the link. Its a common issue search for the QT link

 

waiting for pm reply... I'll get yet another piece to the puzzle...

 

Got a lot done today!! (had the day off)

First got an alignment (finally) car rides soooo much better especially since the coilovers were installed.

Install new fuel filter, pump and straining (very easy) Made a HUGE improvement. Power is probably like 15% better I did however manage to spary a bunch of gas in the car....

Installed a new blower motor too. Try to get the cabin air filter out, but before I managed to I realized that my "cabin air filter kit" only had 1 of 2 filters in it.

Strainer pic (see the brown... that's probably what your strainer looks like too. replace it!!! and trust me your fuel filter looks exactly the same)



Pic of the assembly out of the car ($0.05 tin tray is a must!!!)

 

Got the shop to clear the 3 or 4 codes I managed to store from starving the car of gas when purging the lines....

Been thinking over a cool CAI project. Taking out the fog lights, installing some Hellas I have that fit real nice into the grill, then making a CAI from the 2 ports... I'll see how far I actually get on it... lol

 

Well today i was off and decided to black out the headlight housing...what do you guys think??[IMG][/IMG]

 

Got the engine bay washed up....

 

Excellent work 5thgenhaas! I like the overall scheme.

 

Thanks i like your as well

 

Liking it Haas, I personally spilled a smoothe in the floor and drove in a massive thunderstorm :/

 

How do you do this? I used to do it on my 4th gen all the time. haven;t done it on the 5.5g yet.

Usually a spray at the high pressure car wash would do the trick, covering KS alley, and the intake.

This still the method of choice?

 

just washed the car and..... this happened to me the other day..........



The only reason I own a high powered pellet gun... No I dont shoot the birds in my back alley because there are to many houses around, and usually I dont shoot animals but some day some time some where I will exact my revenge.....

 

I find that a quality CO2 airsoft pistol is the perfect fit for your situation. Good distance but loses power fast. Lets the critters know you're angry without hurting them. The neighbors cat is now scared to death of my car.

 

i wonder how big that bird was? thats some big ****

 

See I had that happen a couple weeks ago....except I hit the bird and instead of dying it just sprayed poo EVERYWHERE!.....

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA thats the worstttt... and damm thats alot of bird sht ....must have been aiming for the freshly washed max

 

This dome light mod works perfectly and exactly the way I intended, it's awesome. And I'm sure some of you guys are likely to find this quite awesome and useful.

What is it? Well, have you ever been driving at night and had to turn your dome light on for something? And when you did it was too bright, it affects your vision of the road, you can see it from outside the car, etc. Now, this light mod will keep your light color exactly the same but the light output reduced by about 50% after 3 coats, you can always do 1-2 coats for different results.

Basically, this light mod makes the light just bright enough for you to see everything, but doesn't affect your vision when driving, and is 100% completely invisible from outside the car. (ONLY) If you have tints that are 30% or darker, or at least I've only tested it w/ tints not sure how it would be w/o them.

First thing, you need translucent paint. I don't recommend using the black because it will make the light color change and make it way darker. Here is what I used, it's Rustoleum translucent silver, and please don't ever use it on your headlights/tails it looks horrible on any actual lights but on the dome light its the ideal perfect thing:



Here is what the dome light looks like painted. Any of you guys with sterling mist color cars may really appreciate this one like I did:



And finally, here is what the light looks like (night time pic using flash):



I'll make sure to take a night pic tonight, from outside the car so you can see how the light is completely invisible and you can just sit there with it on without anyone knowing. This is a mod that can definitely turn out VERY useful for some people...

What you guys think?

 

Sweeet!!! I have that same set waiting to go in mine! Would you be willing to share info (or make a thread) on some of your findings/engineering to get those baby's in there?

 

Wow, finally! LOL!

 

I ordered some cheapo, 5spd engine mounts from rockauto, and last Night I filled them with Windo-Weld ((Man, that's expensive!), so hopefully, I can do all the motor and tranny mounts tomorrow. Hopefully Ill be able to do my subframe collar bushings.

 

Quite possibly...

 

Didn't necessarily do all this 'today' but within the last week:

-Fixed o2 sensor 'high voltage' cel. Apparently the shop that extended my o2 for headers had extended the hard wires instead of the wires before the harness...this caused irregularities in the o2 signal which introduced the cel.

-Installed 4" CGR Intake and started tuning via UTEC. Woot! http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/6...ml#post8799801

 

Oh yayyy!!!

 

Won't be today but within the next few days.

 

got new tranny fluid, she was happy

 

Got a 2 new front tires changed this morning, and running smooth as always!

 

Cleaned and buffed then wax, drive it tonight and it's completely covered in bugs :/

 

Installed a cat back yesterday. Sounds awesome.

 

Well, Im still picking up tools right now, but today I managed to remove and wash all my seat belts. They were naaaaassssty, and after about 3 scrubbings, they all look brand new again! Changed front and rear motor mounts (gonna have to do the other 2 tomorrow), and also installed my subframe collar bushings. Painted my wingless trunk, radiator support brackets, and blacked out the grille surround. I'll have to do the whole grille later. Whew! I'm Pooped!

 

Some small piping Mike LOL is it 2 1/2?

 

Cleaned it up and installed the headlights i broke apart and blacked out on the inside... drove it to a gated community and got kicked out, ripped around town for a little while then parked it.. since i cleaned it, its prob gonna rain soon

 

me likeyyy black out that window trim man and you will love it....I just plasti dipped my chrome trim...looks wayyyy better

 

^ I was thinking about blacking out my chrome trim too!

Dunno if I will plastidip or wrap with some gloss black vinyl I have....

Anyways today I opened up some more of my GAB holes due to exhaust being freed up. She breaks loose through first now lol. Also installed an air/oil separator on the front valve covers pcv hose. I will do the back one another day.

 

Did you put a home made one or a premade one?

 

Changed out the alternator put new surpentine belt and new radiator in all in one day. The alternator was a P.I.T.A.

 

Which item are you referring too?

Air/oil separator? It's one that is meant for compressed air lines. I found it when cleaning out my shed. I had used it on my sentra Specv about 8 years ago. Anyways it would collect about 3-4 oz of oil every few weeks. I would unscrew the reservoir and pour it back in the motor.

 

Yeah a catch can. BTW like your new exhaust?

 

Ditched the GAB for the real thing, custom SRI.



That's how I like to spend a Sunday. That's what I call a good day.

 

Installed the SS Grill. Had this one sitting int the garage for the past 3 years. couldn't man up and Hack the grill.






Installed the Stillen Full Body Kit:



Installed the Lexus Capsules Fog light (rewired) done by Genes1s

see build thread here : Lexus Capsule Retrofit

 

ripped apart everything to switch out my starter and found out pretty quickly why there isn't a really good writeup on the 5.5 gen removal.

two bolts and i can't get to them because of that additional wiring harness that isn't on the 2000-2001.

ugh. best part is gonna be when i get to the shop and its just the battery.
