^lol I actually don't mind the Odyssey....as far as people movers go anyway. Low with strong offset rims, they look pimp. But yeah, bit of an insult when mistaken with an m35...
-
Just today, an m35 pulled on to the freeway and cruised next to us for a bit, my sister did a tripple take on it and just as it cruised past us, she says "hmmm, that's a cool Nissan wagon, sorta like yours yeah"? I reply with a smile "yeah it is, It's the newer model stagea" thinking to myself that was a good pickup by her as she's no car nut by any means, and she DIDN'T call it a Volvo!
Low an behold, the next thing to come out of her mouth......"geez it kinda looks like a Volvo though".
I facepalmed...
-
Crap news dude, but sounds like it'll be a much more fun tow car when back on the road!
Out of interest, how much power were you making with the old setup, and how much are you expecting from the high flow and fuel upgrades?
-
If it is a blown exhaust wheel, how long have you been running 12psi? Seems a pretty low key set-up...surprised it'd cause the wheel to blow off? How many km's do you have?
-
I'm just going to fit the justjap 'no holes' return flow fmic kit. It's tried and tested, proven and allows you to retain your airbox making it totally legal (in Vic anyway).
Custom is always a little nicer, but I'd be betting by the time you're done fabricating the core and piping, it'd be more than double the jj kit..
Sorry just read that you plan on retaining stock piping....might be worth fabricating the core after all. Will be watching this thread

Had stock suspension
installed coilovers
put on 10 clicks from soft
drove her without telling her anything
she wasn't even aware and couldn't tell the difference.
WIN!
Lollllllll

Pretty sure you'd pass at most places. Sandard ser. 2 rims are 17x7 +30. Doubt the rwc place is going take the rims off to check width..
-
Unreal... How long did the process take from start to finish? And will it affect how the light streams etc?
Love the look! Any pics of them back on the car?
-
I hear ya dude....but It's suspension, if she's not too cluey just slap them in and shell be non the wiser. Or tell her they're super cheap and that you'll get the smae sort of $ for your stock stuff.
Aaaaalways ways around the missus whip

Mine is unrelated to stagea's, but I snapped up 4CFED back when Vic first allowed for number first plates

^best factory Nissan rim ever. Offset is +30 btw
-
I think it could be done 'fairly' easily. You'd need to run spacers to shift the inner part of the rim away from the rear shock and front camber arm. I'd guess at least 10-15mm. Then you'd definitely need to roll your guards quite aggressively...or purchase over fenders.
Will look pretty tough if you don't mind a bit of mucking around to get it together.
For your reference, from what I've heard the best rim combo to slip straight on with no mods is 9-9.5" width with around a +12 or thereabouts offset
-
If you've got an auto, go for the buy it now....good price imo.
-
Ah of course, the answer is right there....auto only for these teins. Ah well no good for me anyway, at least I don't feel like I'm missing out lol
-
I really shouldn't be spending any $ on cars atm
........s o thought I'd give you guys a heads up. I've messaged him asking if they came out of an auto or manual, weather they've been rebuilt etc. Yet to get back to me. Decent price I thought.....Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221223453712

Ended up getting it off by banging a smaller socket piece onto the nut and using some brute force to loosen it lol.
Now I need a new strut top nut.... Any idea where I'd get a OEM one, or will any decent automotive nut do?
-
Gas axe or try to get hold of a nut splitter:

Thanks champ, the nut splitter sounds like a winner!
-
Yep, like a douch i pulled righty tighty trying to 'loosen' the bolt and I've sheared the thread on one of the bolts trying to then lefty loosen it.
Any advice? Is it a case of grinding the bolt off or can I somehow loosen it off with some magic ideas from you guys??
-
Yes I'd be keen to hear as well ^
Also, mine came with the nizmo OEM cat back, anyone know the exact specs? Would I see a decent gain with. 3" front pipe and metal cat bolted to the front of it or better off going full system?
-
Sounds like mine, except dayze kit instead of dolphin.
Will definitely keep eyes peeled!
-
You're a champ Scotty! Yes ser. 2 btw
-
Is this the same for the c34? Mine works, to some degree....it turns on but the needle just goes from the bottom of the gauge, and sits at the middle with ignition on...doesn't show any positive or negative boost reading
-
when u mean push out the guards you mean roll the fenders?
so if I want to go the 18in way 18x8.5 with 245/35/18`s are good, but what offset should I go?
Also has anyone was able to go staggered with out making the AWD go crazy?
Have a read through the whole thread dude, you'll get your answers
-
So do I. I am working with Audio Express to see what we can do.
Cool! I literally hit the electric mirror down tilt every time I'm parking, would be so convenient to have it automatic once reverse is engaged.
Good luck with it!

Anyway, best of luck getting it back to It's former glory!
