New Mods \ New pictures. I though I'd share these with you.
 

In the past two weeks I was able to accomplish couple of upgrades/mods to my maxie and I am very happy with the results.

The following were applied
1. RacingLine Strut Tower Brace
2. Wilwood 4-POT Calipers over RotorPros Rotors (front only for now)
3. 19" Nismos by RAYS wrapped in Michellin Pilot Sport A/S 245/40/19
4. Magnaflow 14807 Mufflers.
5. Shaved her

more coming soon.


Took some pictures last Saturday, nothing crazy as it was like 30 degrees and we were freezing our butts but here they are.

I understand this is not Kamil's, Christopher's, Warren's or Mark's car but it surely puts a smile on my face when I get to it.

'nuff said...here are the pics...

Real Nice.
You wouldn't happen to have a sound clip of the Magnaflow's would you. They look great, tucked under the bumper just perfect.

Very nice and of course love the Rays. Interesting pattern of lug nuts. Much wheel stealers there?

thanks. I'll get a sound clip this weekend for everyone to see, lol hear.

Yeah, You'd never know, until its too late. I'd like to make it just a bit harder. I would hate to loose these as this is a great set.

Looks great!

:doublethu

Nice job!!

How much were the Wilwoods?

They look great and the angles of the pics are fantabolous!! lol

I have to agree on the MF's also. They look really really good and also have the "professional" look to them. :)

Very Nice. That's what I'm talkin' bout!! I like how they have the Euro-sports sedan look without being overly done.

Question, is the Blue Max on different springs than the Silver one? The blue one looks lower in the pic that looks straight at them.

Very clean pics ... curious on the price of the brakes/rotors...

I have the same muff's... they sound sick w/ the ypipe/fujita cai... Great setup :)

+1 on eruo classy look

Very nice......... very clean ....... Awesome

Looking good.

Love the pictures, nice angles, badda$$ looking!!!

Thanks for your comments guys. Yeah the blue maxima looks lower but both are sitting on same exact springs. Weird.

As to wilwoods I got them from a member here because he went with another brand. That saved me 100 bucks and shipping. If you are interested Brian at FastBrakes.com has them for $590 for 4-pot and $890 for 6-pot. He also has even better kits with two-part rotors which are ultra light with aluminum hats. The 4-pot calipers are installed with ROTOPros drilled and slotted rotors and the 6POT setup comes with 13.6" rotors.

For the new users: I think the ROTOPros sells a set of rotors for front and rear for $300 and a lot of members here have them with positive results.

Beautiful cars and beautiful pics. Great job!!! Whats next? (paint lower "grill" white, hint hint)

Bro, your car is top notch, done just right. And remember she's yours and as long as she makes you happy........... keep her :D

Those are some pimp pics!!

But... how is it that you and your bro ended up with the same cars?

Kamski

Car looks hot

Nice looking car, I should have looked around before I put my diffferent magnaflows on as I have different SS tips and those look awesome.

Hehe, thanks. I bought mine in 8/2004 and he had his mind set on an Accord. I dragged him over to nissan and in 3/2005 he bought a maxima after I showed him that standard things on a maxima were not even offered as an option on an accord. He is kind of regretting that he didn't go straight to G35 coupe but I am pretty sure once incentives on G37 or 335i kick in he will go for it. He just has to be pushed to do everything and I just haven't done any of that lately. I always joke that he is my younger brother (he is older) because I have to try the waters first and then he goes for it.

I have a roof spoiler sitting in the basement for months so I want to get that and roof painted black. Never had the time to install switch backs and other LEDs as well as Fog HIDs that I bought months ago. I gotta install what I already bought before looking for more.

Oh yeah I still have those G35 rear calipers that I have to slap on.

Nice, love the rims

so you own both of them?

Well yes, me and my "younger" brother.

Nice I like the magnaflows I always wondered how the would look on a silver car. And for the wilwoods they look good by the way, did you have any problems with the rotors not centering on the calipers??

what 212 motoring did you go to.. the one in staten island or bk over by kcc?

Lookin' good man.

the one is brooklyn on sheepshead bay.

Spring awaits these in the front...

...and these in rear :chuckle:

Bernard-You just have the calipers with "stock" sized rotors, correct?

no problems installing the calipers other than one side where the caliper bracket mounts (where OEM calipers mount) one of those bumps needs to be filed. I needed to take off about 1mm to make the calipers fit. That was only on the driver side so I guess Nissan didn't make them to to very high tolerances.

Here is a little drawing I just created to show what needed to be filed off (I only needed to do it on one side), chances are you won't have to do this.

For now, yes

Thanks for the drawing and enjoy those wilwoods.

what year G35 and is it the coupe, and does fastbrakes sell a rear setup cause I just see the front setups

:eek: Ale kurwa Polak naprawde potrawi! Nice set-up of the drawing!

Come on you :newbie:, you know the website, so go check it out!

_____________________________

On a side-note...:wtf: on fastbrakes raising the price by $150 on the rear set-up! :confused:

And how come the 13.6 set-up costs $1,250 and the 12.9 costs $1,350? I'm smellin' bull****!

212 does some crazy cars .. the one in staten island has gt500e sitting outside .. other days they got a crazy 6 series or a white lambo with a a complete glass top

Nice pictures!!

Yes, they do. They usually have a lambo or 2 sitting in brooklyn and couple of MBs and BMWs. If I was charging arm and a leg (or two) for the services I'd have those in the parking lot too.

These guys are ridiculous with their prices. I only got an amp and tints done over there because everything else was like triple the price everybody else was quoting. Not really a big fan of them although I must admit they did a smoking job on my tints and the price was only $30 more then other (decent) shops wanted to charge.

very nice

Very nice Maximas! :thumbsup:

they stand by there work tho .. i wud pay the extra money out for them .. the shop by me wants 800 for a jl 1000.1 amp which isnt bad .. price is usally around 1100 or so .. yeah they did do a hott job on the tints .. 30 extra dollars for a well known shop is well spent money i think

Looks great. I actually noticed a couple of days ago that you had new wheels in the picture in you sig. I just wasn't sure if it was photochopped or real.

What springs do you have on your car?
