Hey there, my name is Chris.

As you can see, i'm new to this site.
sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, but i posted this since i have the same heart as you maxima owners and feel would get more assistance and advice having the same heart as you guys/gals. =)
i'll also post this into the sentra section too


so this is what i have:
2004 nissan sentra ser specv
mods:
vq35de
SS header w/ custom ypipe
SS 3in vrs full catback
Solid nylatron mm
cross-member billet spacers
250 jwt clutch
shifter and tranny solid nylatron bushings
tein Superstreet
intake

future mods: full motor build to hit at least 300 hp all motor then im done. cams, rods, pistons, good tune, etc...


what my first question is, how easy is the NWP spacers and vias install? that will be my next mod in the next week or so?

thanks

the VIAS block plate is pretty easy just real tight space, the spacers seem kind of hard but aaron at NWP gives real good detailed instructions and nice packaging. contact him though for more info. im still waiting to install the spacers since im trying to do the SSIM mod, that and i was waiting till summer to install and do a tune up while im in their.

how hard was the vq swap

[04flspecv]

travis, my mechanic, i would say easy for him but impossible for me. he fabricated the custom mount brackets and the motor mounts. he also did the wiring himself. If a person was to do it, the wiring would be the most difficult. He used a 03 maxima vq and bellhousing, then used the synchros from the 6 speed tranny of the specv.

SSIm mod is where u gut the Upper Intake Manifold, gives some upper end power, but from i been readin more effective than the kintex intake manifolds which cost like 600 bucks found this one guy and he does all that and match port the elbow and the LIM and remove the injector bumps for like 250 but u have to ship your stuff back to him when u install the stuff he sends you plus u might aswell get the spacers, to do at thew same time

oh nice, have you done yours yet? where's this guy located at? Thats cool that he'll send you a replacement for the time being to have your car running while you send yours, unless you gotta spare IM. I was planning on doing the reshelving and pnp, etc once i get more funds for the final build. The little stuff I'll get that I can do myself.
