NC SC CHAT

[gnvarnadore]

man its in real good shape, i got it from guiedo so you know its top notch. i was too busy to take the pics but i promise you i will post them tomorrow for you. i was on the phone alot today because there was some issues with my workers comp and before i knew it the sun went down. i have it stashed under my house so its been out of the rain.

[Black on Gold]

I am quite sure i can use the Intake manifold. Im going to have a friend take care of the turbo manifold if i can get the material. Why not turbo the Maxima is the real question? I'd just like to work my way around to other Nissans now that i've touched on EVERYTHING with a 240

[gnvarnadore]

here you go jordan, its a camera phone pic so it might not be the best quality pic. it doesnt have any dents. if you need to get in touch with me quick you can get me on AIM sn: speedwelldrifter or on my cell 803-315-5058.

Turbo FWD V6's have one major problem, the cross over pipe.Basically when you have a sideways v6 youve gotta get the right exhaust manifolds to match the application and turbo of course. But, theres a second problem, the engine torques, and youve gotta have two pieces of flexable metal comming off of the exhaust mani going to your turbo. Its a pain in the *** to get working right.

But a boosted maxima not only would be quick, but a sleeper from hell.

[crash n burn]

dayum, turbo max. i'd hate to think i'd be coming out on top at the track then get blown away. rode in one the other day, i didnt' think they were that comfortable.

but oh oh oh oh oh, i was in winston-salem last night and went to park in the cherry-marhsall street parking garage and saw a fella in a black primered down coupe running gold meshies out back and blackies up front. sounded like a single cam to me, but there was a MKIII between us.

i tried to follow him to the top, but the girlfriend was getting mad since she thought she'd have to walk all the way back down hahahaha(elevators)

would be pretty awesome if he was on here

Did you or anybody do anything with the wiring in the car that you sold me? I just wanna check before I start do something with it.

I really didn't do a whole lot with that car, and as far as wiring goes, I don't think anyone else has either. I'd ask Guiedo though, it was his car before.

So Pat, you're going to turbo a Maxima? You said it was a GLE so I'm assuming its automatic. I have a 95 GLE that is in the process (sort of) of getting the motor replaced, so when I get done, I will have a spare parts motor laying around I can sell things off of. Probably going to wait til the new motor is up and running, but it seemed like a good running motor before, just had blown headgaskets and who knows how far it was driven like that, so I'm swapping it out.

Actually I bought the car, and the plan was my buddy was going to fix it and then we'd sell it and split the profits, but he's being a lazy-*** so I don't know if its ever going to happen.

If you get serious and start to accumutate parts, let me know. There's a guy whose screen name I'll have to dig up for you. He boosted a 4th gen max before selling it for an S14 and swapping in an rb26, but he said the max dynoed in the 400's (hp). He blew several motors, but I think he figured out why before he sold the car, so he'd be a good one to talk to.

[Zee]

Yeah that would be cool if you can do that for me.

[maxima278]

No, I meant you ask him. He'll probably pop in here anyway. If not, I'll mention it next time I talk to him.

[cnickk]

I just bought a G35 6mt. Im from Columbia. You guys meet around town?

[Black on Gold]

That would be great to talk to him and get some more info. I've just came up with the idea for now. Once i look at the work and what needs to be done i will make my choice.

[gr8bryt]

Welcome CNICKK, nice choice of vehicle. Where about in the metro are you? I'm in St.Andrews near I-26 so maybe I'll see you around or something.

Hey does anyone happen to have a sohc-ka exhaust manifold laying around that they don't need. I've developed a crack about 3" in mine and the noise is soooo obnoxious..

[SouthSideSlider]

i'll se what i have in the parts bins that came with my car but i doubt it.

[Zee]

I have a locked up SOHC sitting in one of my 240s. Let me see what kind of condition it in, then I will get back to you.

[maxima278]

Pat, I finally remembered the name. His screen name is ramius83, and his name is Erik

[Knotmaster]

Come on Jordan show us that hot hatch you got LOL

[scs13]

here you go. i got fastback love too. its a black se, power everything etc. had a blown hg on it when i bought it. hopefully will have it back on the road this week. and hopefully have my car put back together in the next few days as well.

[Zee]

Yeah nice there is nothing better than fastback love.

[Zee]

What do you guys think of this? I might decide to trade him straight up for my daily driver. I want him to get more pics first, though.

Better!

Imagine how I feel I love Initial D and then I find a car such as this. It kind of made me laugh, but I am going to be cautious with this as it does have a Rebuilt title.

[tdcoy510]

auto to 5 speed swaps are fun...

[Zee]

well the guy wants a 240 specifically so if anybody has an extra 240 you can get that car.

[scs13]

are you doing a 5spd swap right now?

oh, i have an extra one, but idk how much money he would want extra for that car.

[mowedS14]

auto to 5 speed swaps are fun...

+1

Haha, yeah they are.

[Zee]

From what he was saying if it at least looks nice he would take a trade straight up.

[tdcoy510]

yea im doing it right now, but my master cylinder i got was **** so the swaps on hold till the new one gets here. but i found something to occupy myself with.

shift boot, arm rest and glove box

[GoinTopless240]

Vert Love > fastback love > coupe love

doing the 5-speed swap too.... more fun than humans should be allowed..working upside down in drivers seat w/bad back... awesome...and then realizing the space the little green box is all I needed to be able to fit normal drill under dash .... finding out little green box needed to come out anyway after spending 2 days w/a dremel cutting hole......priceless..[IMG][/IMG]

[Zee]

lol man that has got to suck. 5 speed already there FTW. lol

[maxima278]

my s14 used to be an auto. I've been dealing with the stupid little computer box from the auto for years. I always just tucked it up in the dash and it would always fall out at my feet and I would cuss it out, finally just the other day I took a piece of wire and tied it up. I never bothered to do any research to see if I actually could just unhook it. Haha I'm retarded.
