Finally got my new toy!
http://www.ericj.org/maxima/img/sc/sc.jpg
After two weeks of waiting or so, I saw the FedEx guy pulling away as I pulled into the driveway. Open my mudroom door and voila, two big boxes with 'Stillen' plastered all over them.
Haven't done an inventory yet (that's tonights job), but it appears to be all there.
Pics are at: http://www.ericj.org/maxima/img/sc
I'm inserested if anyone can spot the difference between a 95-98 mounting plate, and my 99 plate. I don't think we've narrowed it down just yet: http://www.ericj.org/maxima/img/sc/sc_plate_side.jpg
I was amazed at how heavy the SC was. Never having even see one in person, I thought it would have weighed less.
Install won't happen for a few weeks, as there are a few other things I have to take care of first (stock crank pully, clutch, etc).

Of course DIY. Is there any other way? Stock pully for a while, I want to "baseline" everything before I move on.
Doing that tonight.

Besides, I like working on the car!

Thats cool, brings back memories, and that wasn't too long ago so I remember everything. Anyway, I also recommend going to the 3.33", that's what I did, but I totally understand about the progression in track times or dynos. Good luck with the install.

I remember having problems with the brass stand-off bolts Stillen sent me, another guy had the same problem. I guess you can check right now to see if they're the right ones by trying to screw one into the head of the other. Mine for some reason wouldn't screw in the other, and that meant it was too big for the holes they're suppose to go in.
