I just became a donating member ... lol... so I was able to search some of my older posts it's mind boggling how far I and some others here have come. I have learned A LOT man... and spent a shi* load of $ on my car.

She's almost done now last few major mods... getting the VQ35 put in pretty soon, and then getting tranny semi-bulletproofed, and getting some components as I always wanted some maybe even a Eclipse DVD/NAVI setup... Unfortunately this board has given me so much information that I couldn't help but get the mods lol, hey sometimes knowledge isn't all that good. Haha... so guys share your experiences how far have some of you come, do you think it was worth it?

Here's my personal input on whether all the mods were worth it...

In one word YES very much so!!! I enjoy the car 100000x more now than I ever would have if it was stock...

 

You say you're getting the VQ35 put in...someone else is doing it? Is tilley doing it? How much?

Have you joined the insanity of OT yet?

 

Yeah OT is great, and yeah Tilley is doing it He's the MAN! And about 1 hr 45 mins from me

 

How much you paying him if you don't mind me asking? I wouldn't have the slightest idea where to start with something like that.

 

He charges $3K

 

For the work alone or is that come in stock and leave with a VQ35?

 

Parts and labor for 3K read all motor forum

 

Oh yeah. Found it http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=364779.

That's not bad at all. What maybe $1-1.5K more than getting a new VQ30 put in? Maybe in another hundred thousand miles .

Sorry for whoring you're thread.

 

Ok...I don't get it....744 posts and you think you've come a long way?.....

I guess it depends on whose perspective you look at it from...most of the older guys have had more than 2 maximas...(3 for me) gone from completely stock to almost fully modded at one time....then the fudgepackers on here started doing VQ35 swaps and stuff like that...

 

WTF does a VQ35 swap do to merit such an inane comment?

 

I'll be the first to admit I read 10 times more than I post which is not to say I've been on here for nearly 2.5 years. Why are you referring to guys that are swapping motors as fudgepackers?

 

I've come a long way. I bought the car with 12 miles on the odometer and it now has 51,000 miles on it.

 

You drive too much.

 

Yea I do.

 

dude what crawled up ur as$. its not always about how many posts someone has......its about what you learned.

cuz someone can have 10,000 posts....but maybe all that means is that they have no life and they mite have as much knowledge as someone whose posted only 500 times.

you dont have to post on every thread you read to learn something

 

First thing you need to do is calm down...no one was referring to you. I have seen was watch Harris post for some time, and watched what he has wanted to do to his car from the Mevi install to this. I've done more to my maxima than you have, so don't start talking out your @$$. Besidses, Harris is a big boy you don't have to come stick up for him

Harris,

I was joking with the fudgepacker comment, Rob is cool with me, and he does great work.

 

trust me im as calm as can be, but i thought very differently on that comment, and i explained my reasoning plain and clear. have a nice day.

 

wow it sure doesn't feel like i've owned my car almost 3 years now. she has came around quite nicely if you ask me. too bad i don't have any recent pictures of the new mods. oh well, after a new clutch and flywheel and some better n/a times I'll be whoring it up.

 

Your lucky you wrote that, i was gonna hunt you down.

 

ain't nobody scurred of you *maybe thats why I didn't show this weekend....lol

 

true, no body is scared of me, aslong as im not lined up beside at the track.

 

Well i have only had one max and i know for sure that in a years time i have come along way. Last year i barely knew how to putt on a air intake. Since that time I have done all my mods myself except the water/alcohol kit and tunning. Needless to say everything was a learning experience

 

I hear you Rob....sorry I missed the meet wanted to see Emma's ride...when u gonna get yours done?
