i herd from some people that stillen is dicontinuing th sc'ers and there gonna be bought buy someone else and sold for more money......any truth to that?

 

Not sure about the "selling to someone else" but yes they're discontinuing the Maxima kit line.

 

yes yes its a sad sad day...

 

Old news dude.

 

crazyness theres an obvious market for the product if it wasn't so overpriced

 

what about roots? they stopped making theirs as well right?

They never made roots type kits for the Maxima.

 

didn't craigmack have roots type kit, but obviously he custom fitted that in there. Correct me if i'm wrong please.

 

Yes he did, but it has nothing to do with this thread since it wasn't a stillen kit ... it was custom.

 

Why do people always say that Stillen's kit is overpriced? The average price of a Vortech kit (http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com...s/appguide.html) is $4425.

The average price of a supercharger kit from superchargersonline.com (http://www.superchargersonline.com/superchargers.asp) is $4352.

 

$73 overpriced oh noes!

 

Someone is currently making the bracket that holds up the SC. That is the biggest custom part. With that, a normal Vortech V1/V2, custom oil drain plate and a few off the shelf parts you could make your own.

They werent selling enough and so they had to pull it. I read a lot of problems kept occuring with their kit. No big deal to me, you can get the same gains with a VQ35 swap, but have more reliability on your side (once all the nicks are worked out).

 

well does anyone else make a kit.....or could someone post were i can make my own ie a parts list

 

No more SC kits but there're a few turbo kits available. PFI comes to mind but IIRC, there're issues associated with it.

 

The $4425 price is the average price of all the supercharger kits made and marketed by Vortech. That includes all the Mustang, Camaro and Corvette kits as well as GM and other domestic trucks.

The $4352 price from superchargersonline is the average price of all the kits they advertise, and include kits for Hondas and other imports.

So the Stillen price of $3700 (I'm not sure if that is still current, but it was that price for a long time) is a real bargain in comparison. It is by no means overpriced.

 

I heard a month ago from one of their dealers that they are officially out. apparently the week popole heard about the discontinuing they sold their remaining 30 or so units almost back to back.

 

Since inflection cannot always be judged over the internet, I feel the need to note that I was being sarcastic. You probably realized this, but I just want to make sure.

 

Yes, I could tell, but it looked like you were saying that the Stillen kit was $73 more than the average price. Actually, it's $725 less than the average Vortech kit, and $652 less than the average superchargersonline kit (using $3700 as the Stillen price).

 

man there goes the idea of s/c the max..oh well 350z time then

 

i also believe they have discontinued the two piece ap brake upgrade for the maximas.

 

I was because I didn't realize when you said Vortech you were talking about all Vortech kits, not just the Maxima kit. I thought you were saying the Stillen (Vortech) kit for the maxima was $4425 and the average price of ALL sc kits at superchargers online was $4352. I took that to mean that the stillen kit was $73 more than the average, thus my sarcastic comment that it was $73 overpriced. I realize now though that was not what you meant

 

if the custom bracket matty is trying to get made is released, don't give up all hope...it'll be DIY it should work just as well

 

Maybe they are making room to produce a kit for the 3.5l engines? Hmmm?.....then there would be a butt load of 4th gen Maxima owners swapping in a 3.5 for more power.
