Default I have 350Z rims, can I join?

Just happened to get the greatest idea in the world just now to check the Washington section on MY350Z.com. With how "active" the same section on NissanClub.com is, I don't know just how I could've missed this. I hope you don't have to be RWD, 6spd, a coupe and a sports car to join this club.


At least I made the right choice.. and got a..

VQ POWA!!

I'll check back often for some of these meets you guys seem to plan randomly. It's all good, WA sucks for reliability with weather. The car has XS/SSAC Headers, custom magnaflow exhaust and a AEM intake. Ran a best of 14.3 @ 99MPH with a 2.4 60'. Lots of room to improve! With MPH, it's good for atleast a 13.4-13.5 with a 1.9-2.0 60'. Just need to launch her more aggressively on the drag-radials. But I'm not stopping there. 100 shot of juice for Christmas!

I never realized how much that looks like the engine bay in my 5.5gen Max.

The 2001-2003 Nissan Maximas have the same engine as the 2002-2004 Nissan Altima. Only difference is that the Maxima had the option of having the 6SPD while the Altima only had the 5SPD. Sucks since the 6SPD came with option of the HLSD and has a MUCH more aggressive final gear (4.133 compared to a 3.812 on the 5SPD)

The wheels are 17" BASE 350Z wheels from I believe an '03 350Z. They are 17X7.5 in the back, and 17X8 in the front. The offset is I think +33 in the rear (which is on the front now) and +30 in the front (which are in the rear) It's riding on 245/45/17 Dunlop Direzza DZ101s.

Cool stuff mixturepinoy. What year? 3.5 or 2.5?

Yeah, I knew all that. But look at the placement of everything else, from strut towers to fluid reservoirs. Looks nearly identical. Since they're completely different chassis, I'm surprised how similar they are.

I guess Nissan likes to keep things simple. Like their crappy transmissions. Any else getting some grinding?
