not for a couple years at least. i look forward to abusing my new car warranty.
naw... i'm the tx chapter. who's your boy?
i been around. when i stopped doing the a32 thing (lack of interest) they locked my old account. just took a while for me to reregister.
the q45 is my favorite too. that is my all out project.
you could have asked.
i still own the q, ls, and titan so it's not really a change, just options. i'm trying to get rid of the ls right now.

Gas mileage isn't all that pimp though. 18MPG combined if you have featherlite feet. Start ******* it and you'll be lucky to get 10.

not sure if you could call it "specs" but the plans were:
i30 front end conversion
custom/imported kit
shaved
19" lowenharts
q45/6g brake conversion
air bags over jic coilovers
radiused fenders
full red interior
carpc w/ tons of integration (audio, video, air ride, doors, windows, engine managment, etc.)
vq30det internals/manifolds
mevi
i had most of this stuff ready to go. when we did my taxes last year it came to a $40k loss iirc (not including the car).
we're actually international with members in japan and australia, as well as all over the u.s.
i'm getting 14.6 average right now... and i get retarded frequently.

Don't lower the rear ... raise the front. 
If you don't like that, just get some drop shackles instead of replacing the springs. At least with the drop shackles you'll have sturdier poly bushings instead of the marshmallow stock rubber ones.

Don't remove the tailgate burger badge unless you have something to plug the holes.

At least with the drop shackles you'll have sturdier poly bushings instead of the marshmallow stock rubber ones.i will never raise anything in my life. ever. afaik drop shackles are not avialable for the titan. i've read something about using some from another truck but they're cheap and crappy. i'll have 2 leaf packs (not modding my originals) so it's a no risk situation.
that would make sense since 1) it's a maxima forum, 2) that was a full build vs. a little work here and thereso far, and 3) most people don't like the 1g q's appearance (the ls is on the way out anyway, it was a temporary ride).
the q is getting/has:
intake/jdm headers/exhaust
custom motor mounts (raise the engine)
ecu tune
upgraded tcu
ipt built tranny
r32 gt-r differential with cooler
full z32 spl adjustable multi-link
jic coilovers with cup kit (air assist)
z32/z33 brakes
18x10/11 wheels
q45/z32/z33 hybrid steering rack
repaint w/ some custom body work
custom interior
audio (maybe with the carpc)
it's basically going to be a nuts and bolts build. everything from the ground up. it will blow the max out of the water.

naw... i was gonna leave the burgers, the side writing, the 5.6, and se. got some other stuff goin on that's extra (dealer, flex fuel, etc.).

The raise is only 1.5" to level the factory rake.

carving head 40. 18x8.5/9.5 +10 ridiculously high disk.
don't bother looking, you won't find a set. well you may find a set in <17". you may even find a set in 18" but widths/offsets will be super weak.
these were made in '95 and were found in japan circa 2000. the original buyer sat on em and then they changed hands 1 more time before i got them... still new in the boxes.
i've only done a little research since it's not a big concern of mine yet but the only ones i found were the suspension max/ebay shackles which are said to be designed for another make/model on the forums.
until belltech, djm, etc. makes something i'll pass. deleafed springs or flipping the axle is fine with me. much better than second rate parts imo.

PRG Products.If you buy EBay anything, I will cut your rear axle off and steal the rear diff cover just to spite you.
