That is the most chopped up ghetto shit I've ever seen. And BTW, the argument wasn't about a RWD Altima, it was about an RB sitting in one in a FWD configuration. I'd say that you fail, but your red squares explain it better than any words ever could.

People like you don't deserve to breath air.

Hahaha what the hell are you talking about??? A31 Cefiros have NOTHING in common with Altimas other than the fact that they are both Nissans.

What you might be thinking of is the A32 Cefiro (ie Infinity I30 in the US, Nissan Maxima in Europe).

And uh... I mean, I can appreciate the creativity put into that RWD Altima but, its still slower and probably handles worse than a 240. He's got a lot more weight to haul around in that thing. And is it just me, or does that rear suspension area look a little bit like a hack job?? The juice isnt worth the squeeze.

thats totally the best altima ive ever seen. just because its RWD. all other altima owners need not apply. this is god's gift to mankind. the power of creativity!

:barf:

on a serious note, i understand why honda kids would try to convert their cars (integra, prelude, etc) RWD and that's because they don't have any options.

But cmon, why would you do this to a Nissan? This shows creativity to an extent but not a lot of critical thought

i believe the a31 was more like the RWD version of the maxima, being as they have interchangable body parts. It also has an RB motor i believe. I dont know too much about them. 4door RWD (not sub-compact).

No.

No.

NO.

A31 = RWD + RB series engines

Maxima = FWD + VG and VQ series engines

They may look similar, but that's it.

The A31 Cefiro is not the same as the Maxima..

HOWEVER...

LATE MODEL Cefiros were the same as the Infiniti I30, which in turn was built on the same platform as the Maxima of the same year, but those were FWD only...

I have a 90 Maxima and it's seriously the worst thing that has ever ever happend to me. Dont ever compare a Cefiro and Maxima aka Ferrari with rust again.

I have seen pics of an RWD KA in an Altima. I was wondering if anyone else had done this to a FWD application.

The company that did this to the altima, would not share any details as to the process they went with nor any other pictures. So if anyone knows who did this i would love to see the steering system they adapted as well as the motor mount setup they chose.

Thanks

My bad, i was looking at a buddies RB, and typed in the wrong thing.

It was just a 240 engine, none the less, i am still interested in seeing how to go about certain aspects of the swap. grafting in rear strut, locating and mounting rear subframe and transfer case, steering, etc...

How are you not banned yet?

I havent seen that many red squares since Razo's mom was at my house and on the rag. But I guess everybody has to earn their red wings at some point.

This is worse than the time the raccoon got into the copier.

That site is great for antennas...I have ordered quite a few through them...didn't know they modded nissans. Apparently for all that think he is wasting his money; he is selling this cars. So someone thinks they are useful.

o god omg why. make it stop. omg i think this just made me emo.

speaking of emo, dude you box thing is full so i'm gunna be like that, and pannic and send this following message to you anyway i know possible.... i'm also getting sad i can't drive a cool car any more... :2f2f: cool. here it comes:
:gives:

hey luke

this is geoff. :aw: i was wondering if you got any where with finding some of my things. i am in need of that sr radiator and complete intercooler set up. side mount or other wise. but besides that, i was also wondering if we could compensate for some of those 'lost items' and help me out with some labor i need done.

i got a second shell recently. since it was a running car not long ago and had some alternator and gasket problems it stopped running so i would tihnk it would be a good candidate to get that sr you worked on before running.

what i propose is this. i really need this. i need my two non functioning cars turned into one decently stock or otherwise running single car. you can keep the remaining shell as potential credit or let me sell that car and pay the remaining dues to you after all the labor is done. so with the 700 i originally gave you, and the 550 dollar exhaust that was stolen/lost from your old house's garage. i would call that a reasonable 900 bucks i;ve already paid you. if you could compensate a little bit with me would you help me swap that same sr into the new chassis i just got.
i was quoted by anothe rshop 1500 in very top quality labor with some new oem parts replaced. not needing all that necesarily, and also, if you do accept the other car as credit, a 400 dollar value probably, or if you let me sell it after you are done so i may pay you, 500 or so. so, now, with a quality job of 1000 remaning, would you do the swap for something more resonable than 1000? i think last time you said it was 700 for a base swap.

if you coudl help me out with this that'd be great. i won't be having a car again, i've been lucky twice with a loner car from family, but again i'm almost about to lost this car.

please get back to me asap.

thanks,
-geoff

Ugh

I'm looking at what he is doing with the rear suspension

I am doing something similar on my coupe, I got it for free but this is what was done to the rear sus -

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/240trainee/122206_14081.jpg

Trying to get the strut mount in the lined up on all sides and be able to lay a good weld is next to impossible.

I think I'm just going to use the top cap, and form my own sides.

OMG LOOOOOOOOL. Seriously though, WHO THE HELL CARES? I don't care what engine it has or which wheels drive the car it's still a fuckin altima, which makes it a gay ass boring commuter car and nothing else. Iceman give it up!!!!!! This is a silvia/ z car forum and nobody gives a crap about any altima unless it's on fire!

not to start shit, but there are quite a few altimas that will give most average build 240s a run for their money

Maybe in a straight line, but not on road course or touge. 240's handle quite well even with stock springs. Trust me I Fucked up a lot of high dollar suspension set ups in other cars with my stock springs, although I had KYB struts, TEIN pillo-balls, and energy bushings. And don't worry about starting shit cuz you're not a dick like iceman.

09-21-2007, 11:25 PM
oh no doubt, im not even going there, but i will say my buddies miata will own you on a road couse :)

No but seriously yeah there are some altimas that have good handling but to be able to hang with 240s, it just cant be done.

And on another serious note,
