    The setup is a 2004 VQ35 on 3.0 timing, V2 blower on a V1 bracket, 2.87 pulley, 3" charge piping, HKS SSQV blow off valve, JWT ecu with 600cc and z32 maf program, z32 maf, Deatschworks 600cc injectors, Cattman headers, 3" Warpspeed catback, 3" Warpspeed fastcat, Innovate LC-1 wideband, Greddy EMU (about to be removed), ARP rod bolts, Custom Enterprises short shifter, Tein coilovers, Stillen rear strut bar, Stillen rear sway bar. As for the interior and such I have done a leather interior conversion, Kenwood Excelon receiver, 2 10" JBL subs in a custom box, Pioneer 750 watt amp, Kenwood 500 watt amp, 4 6.5" Infinity speakers, and an Optima Redtop to power everything. Lastly are some exterior mods. These include 4300k HID foglights, smoked Cefiro headlights retrofitted with Acura TL projectors and 4300k HID's, and some red clears for the rear taillights.

    Ok I have some new pictures of it installed. First of all, this was the main reason it wouldn't start.
    1998 Nissan Maxima - VQ35DE Swapped and Supercharged 010-1
    No splash guards + road debris = unhappy crank sensor. Anyways, on with the happy pictures!
    Entire engine bay. The 3.0 piping did not agree with the throttle body position, what a head ache:

    I cut a hole in the fender for the cold air:

    HKS SSQ blow off valve:

    300zx maf and overflow relocated:

    Some interior shots, I currently have the boost gauge installed next to the wideband gauge, I just haven't snapped a picture yet.

    The Innovate LC-1 gauge:

    And finally the exterior. I am going for the complete sleeper look, which is also why I want my gauges hidden.

    1998 Nissan Maxima - VQ35DE Swapped and Supercharged 008
    And the only stickers on the car. Gotta rep cattman and the local group!

    Thanks for checking out the ride. It has been quite a headache. I am located in Bothell Washington. I met a few of ya'll back in August when we had a small meet in Ruston. It's nice to see another FWD Nissan forum.

    Thanks, I need to get some new pictures up now that I have my new headlights. I should be in low 11s high 10s with slicks of course. I have some bugs to work out at the moment, but once that is fixed, methanol injection is next on my list. Oh and Ace, I would only be staring at your tail lights for the 3 seconds head start I gave you, and about 5 seconds for me to catch you. Oh ya, and then you would see my nice red/clears but you would only notice their greatness for about another 5 seconds because after that, I would be about 10 lengths in front of you.

    I would rather pay one of our members to help figure out a turbo setup on my car than a shop if they know what they are doing, I only want to run it at 5 psi, until I see that others have been running theirs at over that safely or until I can afford a de-tune, in any case, it appears that you know how to turbo a car, and if you can help me find the size turbo, and how to hook it up I will be very indebted to you.

    I took some new pictures a few weeks ago with my buddy Alex. I figured it was time I finally got some pictures since the new headlights have been installed. I will take some night shots in the next few days.

    Yeah, I agree. I had the option of trading for a Pioneer or JVC double din touch screen dvd player and cash but the Kenwood sounds so good I didn't want to risk losing the sound quality it has.

    Yeah I got all my buddys who had pioneers to switch over to kenwood and they love it. Plus that deck plays any type of music, Ipod, mp3, USB Flash, and XM does everything I need it to.

    First of all a big thanks to Sarin for letting me use these under the circumstances. I must say I was never a big fan of these until I put them on my car. I immediately went to the car wash (Yes, I washed it after the meet and not before so I dont wanna hear it....Chris) and went and took some pictures. I have never been this happy with my car's exterior looks. The rim/tire combo goes REALLY good with the smoked cefiros and the pebble beige color. Anyways on with the pictures! Thoughts?
