So yeah...i know its not quite a maxima! but this site is gonna be my best friend as long as i own this thing lol.











so far its been tons of fun i got 23mpg my last tank which isnt bad at all! considering how the car was driven

oh... and the engine bay.....

 

That is really cool man! congrats! I think it's really clean. The best thing you could have ever done is take that damn rotary out and drop a VQ in there. WELL DONE!

 

Ah. We know this car.

Previous owner moved onto an LS1 E36 IIRC.

 

pretty much a nissan....looking nice in there.lots of space left in that joint.

 

i seen these car before , cool swap. dont it have a 6 speed 350z tranny??

 

sweet ride nice swap cant wait to see whats next.

cool car! Is an alt. the only acessory you are running?

 

wow, that neat not to mention clean a **** , ever ran it???

 

shoulda put a LS1 in it

 

That is epic! Good work.

 

I remember when this car was being built and the guy posted about it. Clean setup

 

that thing is sick! do you have any other plans for it?

 

Hold on, I'm confused with the throttle body setup... why is it on the left (front) side of the engine?

 

maybe bc it won't fit on the side it is normally on when it's in a max?? btw, where are you in kc?

 

yup.

yeah. thats why it is so light.

you should have seen it before i buffed it for 5 hours lol. it was pink. i never ran the car.(yet)

i like this swap. its very uncommon. its reliable. its super light. its decently fast. and have you seen gas prices lately? lol

def gonna turbo or s/c it. im leaning more towards a turbo. i need to sell my supra first though to fund the project lol.

correct. that part of the motor is practically inside my firewall so there was no room for the tb



and im from PA

 

nice wankel... cough, cough, i mean vq

 

i'm interested in numbers for some reason... any vids?

 

Where at in PA?

We have a lot of interesting swapped cars here. Ever seen the Volvette?

 

that is bloody amazing lol

very cool car, good purchase

 

Turbo it. Centrifugal superchargers FTL... if you are worried about gas get a turbo and stay out of boost until you want to rip on it, SCs will not only rob you of power constantly but burn more gas as a result. And for the record, LS1s are actually a lot more fuel efficient than you'd think...

 

lol yeah im from lancaster. I know doug strickler and the rest of the anti-team that rolls around mount joy. the volvette was cool but a huge waste of money. i watch him at the strip run anything from 12-14's. imo, a twin turbo ls1 shoudl be able to do way better. maybe its the fact that he put it in a station wagon lol.



and no vids but i will try and take some as soon as i get this thing running again.

 

Yeah it did seem like a total waste of time. You're from Lancaster? How come I've never seen the car at any of the meets there?! Haha. I live in State College, so obviously I'm not in Lancaster THAT much (just for a few meets a year basically), but I know most of the guys from that area as well.

 

cause i just got the car 3 weeks ago lol. i have a supra as well, but i usually took my motorcycle to all the car meets. which meets are you talking about?

 

Turbo power isn't free either......

 

only when boosting thats the nice thing. my buddies civic gets 35mpg as long as he doesnt spool the turbo. when he runs the car like it is built to be, he gets around 18mpg lol.

 

Well I was referring to the fact that a supercharger doesn't necessarily decrease MPG's. My brother's went from high 20's n/a to low 30's on the freeway after he installed a V2 on his 2k1 max.

 

neat!
it needz boost!

 

A lot of the TriStateTuners meets, like the Sonic one...we also do stuff as a Maxima group sometimes.

 

placebo/driving style

You are always turning the SC even when at partial throttle (except for the clutch-actuated ones that I admit are pretty awesome). That takes powarrrr

 

i had the rx7 at the sonic meet 3 weeks ago.

 

THAT one I was not at due to work. I'll look for you at future meets, though.

 

haha alright. im supraghost from tst or tf.net

 

That is pretty cool...you have plenty of room to add more stuff in that engine bay!

 

great job, very clean....

 

So is this car still running around? I'm curious to see what has happened to it...
