Was at my best friend chernmax's home this weekend in Maryland with my wife and we had a great time with his family. He installed a few mods for me. kcmaxx thanks for the idea for the short shift. Braided the hoses, installed a Optima red top power cell and custom polished billet aluminum battery bracket with 2- 24K marine battery posts.

 

nice touch ramberg...

 

Nice look Ramberg. What does the marine battery do for you versus a regular automotive battery?

 

He has a red top, the blue top are deep cycle for boat use. Optima make some good stuff. The terminals he has are for better conduction....and keep the corrosion off.

Nice choice on the Optima, when my stock one dies, that is what I am going for.

 

Looking good Ramberg!

 

Thanks for giving out that inform.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Warren

 

ramberg.....looking forward to posting pics of my new MOMO silver carbon shot shift **** when it is delivered on the 12th. I think a nice black carbon would look real nice on yours. I feel you need a real nice one to match the car. Hey, where did you get the battery cover from.....is it just me or do I see a polished cover over the battery?

 

http://sprinc.org/ 115 dollars. Its a 6 piece set. bottom, mirrored top and 4 posts. As of now I like my shifter. Later Warren

 

Ramberg, did you install a short throw shifter, or just cut your shaft?

I hope you didnt cut your shaft, only an insane idiot would do that....

 

115 for a set of what, those braided hoses?........ cause that looks good...



please respond to this Q...

 

i believe that price was for the battery thingymajig

 

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info Carcus.

 

I quess I must be a insane idiot. about 2"

 

[QUOTE=Tek-Niq]115 for a set of what, those braided hoses?........ cause that looks good...



The braided kit was 32 dollars. You can buy it at any auto supply shop.

 

looking real nice.i might to do it to my car now.

 

would a marine battery push too much voltage?? Too much voltage could melt some wires. Not sure if parts in a car engine can handle voltage from a marine battery.

 

It is not a marine battery. The marine battery posts are 24K. Later Warren

 

How have you been?

 

Warren, great post, thanks for the props...

 

+1 same here...

the cars looking good man

 

Thanks everyone for the comments. Warren

 

Join the club. What did you use, hacksaw? Nervous?

 

I've Been Real Good My Self.and Yourself?i Got A Couple New Things For My Car For The Next Meet..

 

chernmax used a hacksaw on his and it took a 1/2 hour. He used a powersaw om mine which took less than a minute to do the cut. Some times you have to do crazy things.

 

Hey all Super Noob question and first post. Has anyone created and implemented a "carputer" in their maxima?

Cheers- Tartag

 

I'm doing OK. See you at the next meet.

 

Jayzmax04, Warren is correct, for mine I used a mini hack saw (smaller version then a regular), most people don't realize how strong the steel shifter is, however when we were doing Warrens ride, I used my recipricating saw to cut/modify his old battery posts for the new Marine terminals.

It was getting late and this was the last mod of the day and I was dreading the 30 minute cut, then bingo, since I had my medal blade in, I attached a pair of vice gripes to the top of the handle for Warren to hold the shifter still while cutting. (because me and Warren talked about how much he would bleed all over his interior if I slipped!!!). Anyway, worked like a charm, cut through it like butter in under 30 seconds, Shift **** mod must of taken us 5 minutes total.
