Started tearing the 3.5 apart today. I am going to get the timing chain both primary and secondary off tomorrow. Then i can pull the cams and the heads. once done with that off to the machine shop for fitting the pistons.
Thats really all the progress i have. I know im slow but o well.

Well what i plan to do is, model it on the car. Then cut if off. That way i can replicate it and maybe sell it. It would require removing things here and there but i want to make it as stealth as i can seeing i dont want anyone to know i have it.

So what are your plans for a design? Make it as a bolt-in, since you're thinking about selling? or does a roll cage have to be welded down? I guess I can research this out on my own, but asking someone who has been planning how to do it is much easier. Not that I'll ever need one.....

well welding is the best way to me. If i sell them thats how they would need to be assembled. I am welding mine in once done so a 6 point is easy. 2 points in the front, then the b pillars, and 2 points in the rear. it will be a cage per say.

So you would strip out whatever trim is in the way, assemble the parts, and weld in place ?

Also, didn't i30crab have a cage in his street car? Seem to remember that...
Keep thinking..... I'm sure I won't need one, but....

Sounds like major dash surgery there. How about the other two mounting points? Some sort of extension from the main over-the-driver loop to the rear floorboard?

Everything needs to be welded. Since we have a unibody chassis, the tube must be welded to flat plates then the plates welded to our car or you can sandwich two plates around the body and bolt the plates together.
Here's a good illustration that shows a 5 point roll bar that I may have to do in my Maxima one day. Taken from http://www.nhra.org/contacts/tech_faq.html

And yeah, i30krab had a rollbar in his i30. When I lived in Vegas, we had a chance to meet up a couple times at the track and Nissan meets.

Kzoosho... are you aiming to have this all done for Maxus?
