Whats up fellas, haven't been on the forums in a while since i got rid of my max. Figured i would drop in and see what you VQ maniacs are up to
After selling the max about 5 months ago i picked up a new 2006 350z. Even though i love the Z i still get depressed when i think about how much work i put into my max only to sell it. This car is really a kick in the a$$ to drive.
Mods so far are:
Tanabe nf210 springs (lowered 1.2" all the way around)
kic's project spacers
HKS style 2.5" true dual exhaust
Greddy e-manage w/ profec-e01 display
Mrev2 lower plenum
AAM 5/8 plenum spacer
Test pipes
Volk Gt-N 18x9 front , 18x10 rear

wow, that is clean...I know how you feel about getting rid of a car that you put so much time and work into. But damn, if thats the next step, then **** it, do it!
Thanks for the comments guys. This car will be NA for the next year or so then i am going with the greddy TT setup and looking for 500+whp. I just want to get a work truck this spring after i graduate before i get into the whole boost world again.
The maxima just became a never ending pain in the a$$. I was doing all of these projects that had never been really tried before and in the end i just didn't have the time and resources to deal w/ all of it while working and going to college. The good thing about the Z is everything bolt on and go and has been done over and over and doesn't require any custom work. I do miss the whole thinking outside of the box mind set that was required w/ modding the max though.

Your car looks absolutely wonderful. You did a great job on wheel/tire size, and especially offset!

I think Poowill will have a comment or two on your wheels. Sucks about the max, but you've got to move on with life to bigger and better things, which you have.

Frickin sick 350z chris, it looks fantastic. And obviously those wheels are sick on it...Ofcourse i'm not surprised on how good it looks from what your maxima looked like...nice work.
