Gauging interesting in some custom CNC stuff....
for a billet aluminum key simlar to the Nismo ones. Would you guys prefer it to say MAXIMA or NISSAN on the key itself?
also, would you prefer the design of a Nismo oil cap or Stillen oil cap? sorry i dont have any links or pics to what each one look like. I dont have prices on these things, juss seeing what designs people like better
please honest feedback, thanks

Turbomax95 are you talking about a blank ignition/door key that has to be cut?
if so then the 99 guys like me wouldn't be able to use it since we have the magic security chip inside the key.
or did i get something mixed up?
here's a pic of the nismo oil cap (for a 350Z)

and here's a pic of the stillen oil cap on a 300zx (only one i could find)

It would be nice to get a better looking oil cap than the simple stock, for a lot less money ($70 for a Nismo oil cap???? INSANE IMHO!!!)

hey
there are tons of projects i wanna do but im kinda workin more on the simplier stuff rite now.
these are the ideas that i have rite now
blank Nissan key(same as Nismo one, not sure to engrave NISSAN or MAXIMA on it)
oil cap(either Nismo or Stillen design, i like Nismo more)
battery brace(i like the Stillen design)

Nismo (Oil Cap)- Looks alot better than the stillen
Stillen (Battery brace)

so you think i should engrave MAXIMA on the blank key? or NISSAN. I think MAXIMA would be cool but seems like NISSAN would be more universal and i coul sell those to Sentra, 240sx, and other Nissan guys.

I like all three ideas(key/nismo oil cap/stillen battery brace) and i think you should put nissan on the key just so you could sell it to a wider market...but if you could get some pre-orders for a maxima key, then get that made as well if it's economical...

ok thanks for the feedback.....itll prolly take a week or two beefore it gets rolling but i am serious about doing them and already have samples of what we're going to "copy" hehehe
I would think the brackets would be one of the easier things to start with. Doesn't have to be pretty, just has to work

I remember someone tried putting a GD together for the Stillen battery brace and failed because it was way too much $$. Hopefully, this will actually work out..The Nismo oil cap is cool also...depending on the finalized prices, I might be in
either oil cap looks good but I think I like the nismo one better. what about having a key that has no writing at all? also, It would be cool if there was some custom billet radiator top supports

if you can provide me a sample bracket i can get it made no prob. as of rite now i have no desire to compete with other brake kits that are out. i do have an S-Force bracket coming form Taiwan that uses a 13" rotor with stock calipers...thats taking awhile to arrive tho

i can get the Geniune Stillen ones anytime for $35, duno if that is good deal or not. anyways, the Stillen copied one will definetely be less then that. but it wont say STILLEN in the middle of the brace
