Very nice, looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Can you take pics of the motor mount and steering rack setup?

I will have pics of the drive shaft and control arms on monday

 

HOLY COW!~ Good work man. seems like you are really on your way. I've seen rwd setups in Honda's so this is awesome that you have the drive to do this.

 

thanks guys but its not easy

 

any one know I can find a vented corbonfiber hood for the 99 max

 

Unless your not planning on having a drivers side footwell, I think your going to need a few changes to the turbo dump pipes or turbo position...

 

that have all ready been changed but when I do the aftermarket turbo they will come up top

 

just wanted to be different I want to be the honda killer honda has too much rep

 

VIS makes a hood...

Let me know when you get rear suspension pics mounted on the car(rear trailing arm, suspension, rear axle)

Some of your pics are very up close and I cannot tell what they are. But either way continue the good work!

 

well for the coilovers for the back i have to move it so it line up with the sub frame If you guys notice that the gas tank was removed for the rear end to fit in

 

You gonna run a fuel cell in the trunk?

Can you get some underbody pics as well?

 

that is correct

 

sweet project!! i will send you the dollars as soon as its running, oh whats your paypal address?

 

thanks but its cool

 

i think i know exactly who's old car this is? was it an auto turbo?

 

not auto turbo but is was turbo

 

I will never drive that car on linden blvd cause if you know it the roads are bad

 

wow great progress man!! i'm glad to see its all coming together..

 

interesting... i was wondering if you had any more pics of the floorboard area where you made room for the transmission, as well as pics of the engine's position relative to the strut towers, as far as weight distribution is concerned. i'll be interested to see your front//rear weight balance when you're done. hopefully you can get it pretty close to 50/50. are you leaving the front wheels in their original position, and leaving the wheelbase the same as it was in the FWD configuration? or had you considered trying to move the front wheels up some to help your weight balance?

 

well the front wheel is staying the same and for the cut in the floor board i think i have some pics but they are a bit dark i will find them and post them as far as weight distribution its a bit off towards the front but not that much 53/47 but should balance out when the project is done

 

o so you already weighed it on some front/rear axle scales w/ the engine mounted?

 

well my buddy did

 

here is pics of the part that had to be cut for the tranny to fit and some of the mounts and supportshttp://i664.photobucket.com/albums/v...7091435-00.jpg

well i for one never doubted this could be done, since i know of someone in NY that did it before, but i knew it would be a lotta money. there r videos on the net, go to streetfire.net and type in rwd maxima, or google it, and you can find videos, so its been done

 

Nice, but:

1. I don't know what I'm looking at exactly.
2. It's blurry as all hell.

Clear pics would be great. If it's in brooklyn, PM me and I can stop by and check it out, or help out.

 

yea i took thoes with my phone the 2 dark ones is of the inside
the othere is of the support for the motor the orange metal are the mounts and the cross bar is the support

 

Can I come check it out and post more pics? I wanna see what the supports are made out of.

Found no videos.

 

There isnt one available for the 4th gen, at least not in CF .


Really? Post up more info on the one you know of.
Ive never seen or heard of anyone actually following through with this. MANY have claimed to either want do it or that they were going to with no results.

 

hey flava can your friend make me a vented hood

 

Not sure, It would be costly compared to some CF hoods. He would have to make a new mold and etc.

 

Damn! this things for real?! Good luck to you maxxkid, can't wait to see what happens!

 

I am saving money for my speeding tickets lol

 

Make sure you run some gutted CVs in the fronts to seal your bearings and keep them in one piece. It'd be awesome to if you cut the bell off in a lathe too.

 

thank for that info fro the time i posted this I got a lot of info some which I have covered and some i over looked so keep the info coming so I will get this right this is for all hands

Ebrake is pulled up, rear tires are NOT spinning

 

yeah thats what I thought at first too but then you can see them (rear wheels) kick up a bunch of snow.

found this is my search too which I am also sceptical of but not sure how else you would make the car spin like this on dry pavement at such low speeds.

go to mickey d's and steal some of those trays they give you when dining in, put them under your rear tires, engage e-brake, enjoy. of course the also make aluminum plates just for that purpose too, though.

 

Makes sense.. never heard of anyone doing that, probably because we have snow for half of the year anyways and the fwd guys get their fill then.

To the OP, you may find some of these pics usefull.. It's an altima with a RWD conversion seems like they used the whole front subfram and grafted in the rear strut towers.. worth a look. Too bad there are no finished product pictures/vids..
