Some neighbors was looking at me with it on, they must have thought I was crazy !!!! hoping to have the kit finish in the next 2-3 weeks top. There is more to come in the future (end of 2014/2015) but the budget at this moment is not allowing it !!! |

Big update ! but short .. hehe
The aero kit is soon to be finish  - I haven't took a picture of the left fender yet but its drying up into his mold as we speak and it will be ready tomorrow to continue the work that needs to be done and fitting it properly ... - tonight I started laying down some Carbon Fiber on the left quarter panel. Starting with 3 layers , a 12k plain 9oz sandwiched by 2x a 12k biaxial 12oz A final layer of the Carbon Fiber / Blue Kevlar will be applied this weekend  I had some time at work during downtime to finally make 2 Throttle body adaptor on the lathe. This project was somewhat what was planned about 2 years ago before I blew the VVEL engine. but this time im going with an un-modified VHR intake manifold for some testing before doing anything more to it. But the inlet will be smoothed out for sure before testing it first.  - last, I finally installed the Cusco LSD into my spare diff with a 3.9 gear a temp sensor bung for a pump setup as been threaded into the cover. it will be installed as soon as the aero kit is done !!! some SPL bushing also been installed  its was my first time rebuilding a diff and shimming it ... a bit pain in the *** ;/ Last edited by Megan370z; 05-21-2014 at 10:54 PM. |

they are replacement for the Maxima 09+ which is 75mm. I made a reducer/adaptor because they don't share the same bolts pattern. Hopefully I can have some dyno time in July/August depending on time and funds... Quote:
yup on July 16th at CFB Borden Weapon School. Quote:
I set it at 80% with 6 springs running mainly on R-comp & Slick. as for the DIY, I cant provide much more than what you can already found online and using the FSM... its all in there for the proper torque and spec + how to shim and test the diff.

Guess what ?
New big updates ! Megan body work is almost finish and the last part is in progress which is the left front bumper overlay to match with the wider top fender. Then the new temporaly splitter will be made ! Since I am moving to a new city & house the work involved into Megan is limited right now. Which mean not everything that I planned will be completed , like the full flat underbody,hood , ducting ...which cant be the top priority. - Body work to be finish (90%done) - Road race fuel pump to be installed - Cusco LSD to be installed (and break-in) - Oil change ( Engine / tranny / LSD) - Street tune - Will be running stock air box due to time restriction on prepping time and budget. - Install Diff oil cooler Once I get in the new place there will be more AERO & other parts made and added. This must be completed by June 28th since I registered for CSCS.ca Event# 2 Time Attack in Grand Bend, Ontario.  This will be one of my last post into this thread. Because a new Megan ver2 Journal will be created with the current setup and better detailed. Last edited by Megan370z; 06-12-2014 at 07:44 AM. |
