New Wing installed (pics)

[Empty V]

I just saw that you did ask about that quite a while back. I'll check with my sources at Penske which ones they were. but due to the nature of the level of product that they are, there might not be any info to the public on them. Actually if you google search the turbos I have ( IHI RXH6) you shouldn't find any info on them either since they were never suppose to be sold to the public, and actually are suppose to be destroyed after the race teams are done. so you'll find some info with my screen name, and my business partners name out there on the web, but I don't even think we've found a compressor map yet. Call it a turbo from the C.I.A. if you will.

anyways, hit me up on [email protected] and I'll get you all the info I can on the brakes I have.

Don't waste your time on Alex, he's a tool. You've always had good taste and lots of ambition. Not my kind of mod but I'm sure once the truck is done it will look tight. Also don't do anything for Nala, he's another leech who preys on the good graces of others and doesn't follow through with d!ck.

damn i think that wing is pretty sick! Would look good on a lifted off-road R50 if u ask me.

would match my JDM terrano regulus headlights too

[naladude911]

how much will a wing cost me?

how much will a wing cost me?

Don't worry, money is not an object for mom when it comes to her little Stevie.

[AZhitman]

Alex - no bs, I'd be happy to post up pics and dyno results once the Lex is complete. I didnt ship it to Japan for nothing, and do alittle research too on my screen name here, I think I've posted a couple pics of my turbo which cost right at $27,000 and the $130,000 worth of Formula 1 and WRC brakes sitting on my living room floor.

i've seen those brake pics. i PM'd you about which model number calipers you have, and you couldn't give me ANY info. the least you could've done is pointed me to the actual owner of those brakes, so that i could contact them.

Why? You can't buy them anyway. No one's obligated to respond to you.

I thought I made myself clear in my last post. Quit trolling.

more than u can afford pal. ferrari.

but really, its not the cost of the wing thats gonna concern you. its the availability. You cannot find ANY JDM pathfinder parts for sale in USA. try giving japan a phone call with your credit card if you think you can order it. nope. round trip plane ticket $1800

therefore, JDM parts = priceless

[fueler]

back on track, i think the JDM pathfinder spoiler looks like the civic type r (EK9) spoiler



sicwitit, i assume u had to drill through the hatch to mount this?

[sicwitit]

The body shop I contracted to do it did. They also had to fabricate a couple mounting brackets I guess, I didn't know they came with them from Nissan or not. brackets arn't rocket science though so I wasn't too worried.

Its funny, looking at a lot of cars from honda, nissan, toyota, suzuki over here, alot of them copy off each other, this wing is no different. Ive seen its design on a few different hatchbacks, wagons, and SUV's here.

Fueler - The cool thing is I've been living in Tokyo for the past 2 years, and have just about another year left here. So finding JDM parts is oh so easy. I live about 5 miles away from plenty of junkyards to keep me busy pulling parts from random cars. Hence why I'm filling up a 20' container right now with a couple front clips for 2 cars I want to build when I get back, and enough wheels and other parts to pay for it all.

Naladude - The wing cost me about $80, they usually sell for $50-$150 depending on condition. mine was paint faided when I got it, but it was green...so who cares, it was going to be respraied when I sent it home anyways. I'll let you know when I find anotherone.

AZ- I know what you mean. "most people talk alot, few are up for the moment!" (tripple X movie quote) seriously, I've only sold 6 pair of the calipers I've had so far, a couple to private race teams, a pair to a guy with a lotus 340R, another to a Countage owner, and one to believe it or not, and S2000 owner. all have said great things about them, but the work involved in maintaining these calipers is unworldly, you almost have to rebuild the calipers after 6 months of use, they arn't sealed like street calipers, most people don't realize this and often are discouraged, but its high tech stuff, and if you don't get it, it will bit you back hard...mainly in the wallet

[sicwitit]

Yo Naladude! I found one, its going to cost me about $45 hopefully, then I have to pay shipping on it, and then ship it to you. so honestly if you can see spending around $150 for it to show up at your door, then I'll pick it up. here is a link to it if you want to check it out. its from one of the japanese auction sites I use to buy stuff and no one has bid on it yet! It does have 3 days left, but no one bid on mine when I found it, and won.

Hey sicwitit. Do you ever see the HID's from any Turrano's at the junk yards? I have a 98 Q and would love to find a set.

[sicwitit]

yeah, you have a 98 right? I'll see if I can find a set, they can be kind of pricey though

[WPGQX4]

I know but if your up for the search, let me know what they are going for. $1200 new is a bit high for just headlights. I think they are a complete bolt in unit. At least I hope so. And Ya I got a 98 QX4. Thanks man.

[naladude911]

Sweet. How do I install it? How much do you think it will be to paint it

[naladude911]

and before I buy it can you take a side view pic of your car? Also, do you think you can find the JDM fender mirror?

[fueler]

yup the terrano regulus headlights will direct bolt in to any 97-99 QX4 (requires cutting for 99.5-2000) but you will have to do all the wiring yourself as it's completely different.

[WPGQX4]

Is the wiring tough or are you just splicing into the harness.

[damien.best]

it probably gives some downforce once your going faster, makes rear end stick more to ground. Might actualy be helpful.

i really dont mean to sound negative, but at the speeds you can hit on public roads, you can honestly get more down force by taping a baby to the tailgate...

[CanuckQx4]

taping a baby to the tailgate???

WTF?

[sicwitit]

wow...interesting to say the least?

I wasn't really going for down force, I mearly saw it on a couple R50's over here and got hooked on the uniqueness of it? since no one I know of has it in the states, I figured I'd go ahead and be the ginnie pig. plus in my vision, it should look good on it after its all lowered and I throw my new wheels on it, and make the exhaust all JDM like. I don't plan to offroad it anymore, for that I think I'll buy a newer FJ and do it all up.....damn my garage is going to have to be expanded? or I'm going to have to move to the country?

[KyooX4]

Mmm, FJ

[Empty V]

Jon if you get an FJ hit me up. The place I bought my last set up DBA's from specializes in FJ and Land Cruiser modifications. They do everything from disc conversions to full offroad overhauls. I've seen them turn some sick fuking vehicles. I was going to buy 4 Hella Rallye 4000's from them but ended up winning my current lights in a raffle.

[sicwitit]

Mmm, FJ

So damn tempting!!

I don't even know where I'm going to move to yet, and I already know I need parking for 6 vehicles....then I still need guest space? I guess I'm going to have to live on the outskirts of somewhere now?

[JonathanPrem]

sicwitit - Can you get me some parts off yahoo auction for my 240sx

[sicwitit]

shoot me an email

[email protected]

[Scar face]

i have been looking for that spoiler for the longest time . can you find me one .just tell me the cost . in in the US.

[Wkz1gg0a]

Dude it looks good the big spoiler thing got played out in Ny i just want the OEm metal one the junkyards by me sells em for 150 aint that some BS. I honestly dont think there is much for us to do to a R50 its either Go off roading or Get a drop lol im just gunna work on music and keep my exterior plain except for the rear bumper bar and new front push bar i dont like the way the aftermarket one fit my truck its so bulky

[sicwitit]

Email sent, I found a couple more all for about the same price I found mine at ($100ish)

On another note, If anyone has any input on what wheels I should get please bring your ideas up. I'm still not sure if I want to get the 20" rota TE37 clones or not. but I think it wouldn't look right without a 20" wheel...but no bigger. I'm going to lower the pathy, and give it to my wife for a DD (she's 5'2'' and doesn't want a big off-road beast)

let the idea's fly....

[miamiheat3332]

Go with either the 20s like mine , or get 18s with beefier tires and get wheel spacers and drop it to give it that urban assault look , would look good with a bull bar or brush guard

[Scar face]

i have 22s on mine and they look good.no problems with them.

[sicwitit]

throw up some photos guys!
