i'm considering getting a 5th gen max
and trying to reuse some of my 4th gen upgrades.

has anybody had success with converting these
4th gen parts into their 5th gen?:

-h&r springs
-new agx's
-addco rsb
-jwt intake
-courtesy fsb
-pacesetter sts
-at least the wheels should fit (17x7.5 40mm)?

any shared experience will be much appreciated

thanks,
lawrence

 

The RSB and the wheels should be no problem. Not sure about anything else.

The FSB might fit.

 

Also JWT popcharger... Well just the filter part...

 

Most everything you've listed ought to fit without much effort.

The rear AGX's may need the same modification as the koni's do to fit our rear strut towers.

I'm not sure about the Pacesetter STS, although I don't see why there would be any signifigant difference in the shifters unless you get a 2k2 (cable linkage)

 

thanks for the feedback.

i did a bit of research and asked around also.
it seems that the addco rsb may need slightly wider u-bolts.
the brackets on the fsb need to be finessed and cut a bit.
the agx's need more modification, but the springs should fit.

is it worth it? or better just to buy new stuff.
(or wait for the new g35 6speed)

 

The FSTB will fit, but you have to cut a little off a bracket on the driver's side strut tower to make it fit. Nothing major though, just use a hacksaw.
