well, seeing jeremiah's "peak" gave me an idea to show anybody interested what ill be working on over the next few weeks. this is more or less for noah, so he can see that his splitter rods will not go to waist, lol! anyways, im working pretty hard right now and trying to save up some extra money (while planning/saving for a wedding) to get this kit painted and installed. then, i plan to add a carbon fiber front splittler - hence, the splitter support rods. THANKS AGAIN NOAH, YOU 'DA MAN!!

note - sorry for the "not-so-great" pics, sunlight was coming straight at me.

nah dude, i bought the WHOLE kit from stillen last summer before NOPI but ran out of "funds" to have it installed so its been sitting in the garage this whole time, lol. everytime im about ready to have them painted and installed it seems like something always pops up, but i think im finally getting close to being able to put it on...hopefully! noah sent me the support rods, which will be installed soon after the kit along with the mentioned carbon fiber front splitter!! WOO HOO, i cant wait!! keep your fingers crossed for me!!

jeremiah - shut up! j/k

matt - do they even make s/c's for 4th gens anymore? beaner-wiener cracked his splittler over a curb or something so he took it off. i told him about my plans one day while we were talking and he told me he had a set of the support rods laying around so i volunteered to take them off his hands and he graciously agreed! they are great, im really looking forward to getting the kit painted/installed and then getting a carbon fiber front splittler. i think it will look tizzight!!

No, they do not. I've been searching for a Stillen V2 for some months now and no such luck.

Well actually there is someone on that other Maxima site that makes the mounting plate for the Vortech supercharger. You just have to buy the SC and related components, and you can have a kit comperable to the Stillen kit.

id rather find a "1-stop-shop" kit and all. IMO it would be easier than trying to piece/custom fab something together. what do you think?

With Stillen no longer making the V1 or V2 kit for the A32, I guess you have to take what you can get. While I'm not a supporter of the other site, I do feel an obligation to tell the truth where it applies.

And since I'm not sleeping with any of you creeps, I have no problem in that regard.

Unfortunately, that is doubtful. Honestly, I don't understand why they could not do the modifications needed and continue the SC kits for 5.5-gens and 6th gen Maxi's.

well i dont understand why not! you know they still have the molds/blue prints and what-not needed to make a kit so it cant be all that hard. they made them for 4th gens before so you know they know how to USE the molds/blue prints as well. i think we should get a "petition" and proposition them!!

i know we have 2 people so far...1) kenny2) me (ben)

anyone else???

I was already trying to work on something before Matt posted. So far my efforts have not proven fruitful.

There is a meet scheduled to be held at Stillen HQ on May 13th, so if I don't have a response by then, Matt or I will have Greg address this at that meet.

We'll try to work out something since there is interest, but just ask that you guys be patient while we try to get things lined up.
