We worked on my car for 12-14 hours total for the last few days and now I have to shift my own gears . I was so tired today when we finished that it almost sucked having to shift my own gears when I drove home. If it wasn't for the stupid clutch lines it would have been alot faster. Major props to Jay25 and his brothers and also my friend Andy for the help. Now I just have to wait for the clutch break-in to see how much faster the car is. I plan to dyno and go to the track soon to see if I can better my 14.2.

 

What mods do you have? I wish was able to convert to 5 speed.

 

Damnit, you went to the dark side huh?

lol congrats though =)

 

I'm starting to feel pretty lonely over here on the auto side. Can't wait to see some times.

 

what clutch/flywheel did you go with?

 

Welcome to the world of shifting.......dang glad I got a 5spd now 1 year later. Its much more fun!

 

congrats man, now that I'm going back to the all motor game for a while I'm thinking of doing a 6 speed swap. 13's now seem even closer

 

Welcome to the manual side. Its nice now isn't it..?

 

good idea don't let that auto tranny hold you back anymore! Break free!!

 

I tried to find a fidanza but they are on backorder everywhere. I went with a Stock flywheel and exedy clutch. I will probably get an aluminum flywheel at some point, but I will probably stick with a stock-type clutch.

 

Well there is one part down



We just gotta get that ALL motor nonsense outta your head


Congrats...

everyday you'll love it more

 

I'll be switching to the dark side next summer.

 

that NA stuff doesnt last too long
Very glad to see your shifting away

 

ah, Jay another tranny install complete . You and your brother going all over the USA to aid max owners hehe

congrats on leaving the handicatic in the garage and rocking a real drivers tranny

 

you mean a complete 5 speed swap. Of course it got pretty late thanks to the hydraulic lines. Yesterday I pulled a complete engine and transferred all the missing parts to the new one. Thing was naked.

 

its nice to have positive people like Jaime around.. people like him make me happy to move to a place like Atlanta

 

you're moving to ATL? damn...that town is gonna need some help...

 

thanks for the compliment sprint. I did ask about you when I was in NJ. But you and deezo live a little bit more North

 

yes i am coming to take over the great state of Georgia

 

yes we like to stay away from the clusterfck in the NE forum i like to call the "New York Nonsense"

 

Great I hope you come down by June. We can throw a big meet and you can see what you sold to someone perform . Baggs also works with a guy who owns a turbo Hayabusa since you like motorcycles.

 

is that Ed with the MOAB? 6XX rwhp? i think he is from alabama

 

I will be there May 24 .. getting married the 28th.. leaving for a cruse the 29th.. coming back June 5th and leaving the 6th

 

............. Me and the wife have to decide on either SJC or ATL.

Jay, If you set up a big meet I might come down with my plain as$ GXE.

 

man...ATL isn't big enough for all the maxima nuts going to be there.

 

**** you crazy. Atl is large enough to ride around and woop some rear!

 

Well that kicks ***. Glad to hear you'll be done with the rest of the "Good Ol' Boys"

We are one Maxima oriented state!

 

He comes down here and hes done! No more snow, nice weather, large highways, theres always something to do. Plenty of people to hang with. Theres plenty of ricers and real fast cars. I believe the name of the guy is Ed. He lives here in Atl and works with Baggs at Lockheed.

 

congrats man!! I would also like to do this swap maybe sometime in the summer or so Have you ever seen a red max with clears all around? Thats me I go to school in morristown right now im in drafting class typing this Got to go.........

 

Good to hear we have another NA max that will be in the 13's. Can't wait to see some track times.....I think you will blow my times out of the water.

 

if its Ed.. yeah i have spoken to him a couple times on Supra Forums.. i think he runs his bike in AL... maybe thats where i am confused..

but yeah if its the same Ed.. he has a 6XX rwhp Busa

 

the thought of that scares me

 

i have videos of him doing 6th Gear wheelies on the street

 

not him.. although I think I have read about him on supra forums

Frank... cool guy, no gauges, sleepr looking. He likes kicking it with the bikers and watching them do tricks around the east side.


And sprint, I know a few bike folks that I am sure you'd enjoy

And we still gotta meet..lol

deezo- might as well come on down and let us boost that thing

 

I am still thinking if i want to turbo / engine swap this baby or give it to my fiance

 

I'll be moving to Atlanta within the next year or two. I've got to move back home (I was born there) and hang with relatives. 26 years in the Midwest sucks!!


Dave

 

It's definitely going to happen some time in the future....

 

Atlanta looks like the place to go if you have a max. Almost all the turbo ones and alot of the hot ones are there or at least close by. I may have to move out there, lol.

 

my thread has officially been hijacked. Anyways, I drove the car hard today for the first time. first gear is definatley fast, if it will hook up, my car will wheel hop pretty badly sometimes. The other gears don't feel much faster than the auto did. Overall it seems faster and my roommate definately agrees. I am a pretty good 5spd driver even though I have never owned one, I have driven plenty. I will have a hard time driving it at the track the first few times, I don't think I will miss any gears, but I have a hard time getting the gas and clutch just right after a fast shift. I bet I will be very inconsistent. I can't wait to go to the track though.

 

sorry for hijacking your thread.


Anyways, do I see boost in your future? . You need what you need to do is fill your motor mounts with that poly stuff. It will eleviate wheel hop.
