I would personally like to try out the mounts on my car, cause the Quaife differential for me added alot of wheel hop during the 1-2 shift, and hopping when its raining outside (or in the burnout box). Not many members here have the Quaife installed, who's still running the stock suspension and motor mounts like I am. I was planning to get the energy suspension poly control arm bushing too, but I'm going to hold off now that these are in development.

WSP Subframes
Yes, we have plans. So far no has come forward with a 2002 Car. So all you 2002 owners, don't be shy. We think it's likely that there is not alot of difference between iot and the 2001 and the 202 Altima which we already have done. The alty guy was really happy, his car was stock. You can read his post here.

what's the diff between this and a lower a-arm brace? this's also known as lower control arm brace.

sounds the same and does the same thing?

Similar but not the same.
The a-arm braces you show below brace the mounting point for the lower a-arm. Keeps the a-arm mounting point from distorting under load. A-arm braces primarily improve handling (sharpens turn-in, etc). Radial arms mount outside the mounting point and actually tie the outside (toward-wheel) part of the lower a-arm to the chassis. This gives even more bracing, specifically under heavy acceleration...it keeps the front wheel from pushing back, which ends up reducing traction. Should helps handling as well.
Overall, the radial arm should be more effective for our application, since we need added traction under acceleration as well as handling improvements.

Actually, I'm not all too upset...it would be nice to see these show up while we all still own 5th gen Maxima's

instead of whining because they arent out yet how bout we set something up like teams in different areas of the country, then we nominate one person to head each team, each team can be assigned certain tasks to accomplish according to areas that need to be researched, then we can spread the findings throughout the maxima community. i tried this a while back to try and build up a following to create an alternative to the stillen charger but it fell through. since then ive been concentrating on getting everything i can to the ground. due to wheel hop i recently sheared a driveshaft, the drivers side one, if you want pics ill show yas , its pretty wild anyways thats my proposal let me know what you people think

your right my friend im trying to liven up the community theres no progress being made no one is trying crazy things like stuffing a 2k2 motor in a 4th gen all the mounts are identical why isnt anyone doing it? heck for the amount of money that some of these people spend on wheels you can get a vq35 out of a 2001 pathfinder. i recently found one for 1800 bucks. once the motor is in your hands then get creative. if i wasnt building my Z then there would be a vq35 in my garage taking up a whole car bay getting internals and cams along with headers and all sorts of stuff. once the Z is done i might go find a 95-96 max with a salvaged title and a trashed interior (flood damaged or what have you) for a few grand and its getting some very interesting work. steve if you want to see a RWD 350 powered maxima id advise to keep in touch for a year or so -Pete

Swap labor: $1000+?
You will need an entirely new engine harness, etc. Why not just supercharge for much less

Engine harness is not an issue if you just use the short block and heads from the 3.5L, you can then use the 4th gen electronics and sensors.
