MAN THIS CAR IS SO GIGGITY! I want to know more on how you wired the car.. The car uses virtually no factory wiring. There are no relays in the car... Yeah, crazy, I know. It's super simple. All of the systems get power from those 6 fuses. 1. ign power and gauges 2. fuel pump 3. fan 1 4. fan 2 5. l...

Ok dudes, I'm sure if you're looking at this or considering purchasing the Xcessive Manufacturing z32 trans kit, that you've seen all the other threads regarding their problems. This thread is not to bash their **** products but more to show an option on how to address their issues. NOTE: I have nev...

Sorry guys, I don't check this as often as I should. I don't have any photos of the modifications done so I drew it up quickly to hopefully explain it better. The red bracket thing is the shifter bracket. The black triangles are just 3/16" plate triangles that I cut and welded into each bend(4)...

Awesome. I'll try that. Do you have any idea how thick the washer was?

Wait, what am I thinking? If you are moving the clutch closer to the engine a 1/2" and also machining the bell housing a 1/2", then everything should be fine.



Carry on gentlemen.

So the only thing I'm still unsure about is slave cylinder/throw out spacing. Let me know what ideas you have for this!

So I had a long reply for this thread but somehow lost it. I still feel the need to give my opinion as well. I'll start by saying I have regretted every single purchase I have made with Xcessive. Their customer service, shipping, prices are all pretty damn good. However, the quality of anything I ha...

oil pann with 2 n's because apparently the character limit minimum is 8.

I did not receive and have never even seen those spacers. I wonder if washers would yield the same result.


Hey SUPAKAT, do you have a "white bunny" clutch/flywheel setup?

Which spacers did you receive? Are you talking about the flywheel spacer and the large bellhousing spacer/adapter? If so then yes, I'm using those. I still haven't looked into this. I will most likely fit the starter on engine side (factory location) somehow and post up how I did it.

Hey guys,

I have not had a chance to dig further into this situation yet. I will try and post a solution whenever I do.

The pressure plate does not stick out near the flywheel teeth.

The clutch is a stg 4 comp clutch for z32.

Recently I converted to the z32 trans setup using an Xcessive kit. I have had starter issues since day 1. About half the time you try to start it, the starter engages but doesn't turn the engine over. Instead, it makes an extremely loud grinding noise. I always thought that it had something to do wi...

Yes, K series and S2k are the same. They don't use the same plug as maxima but they are pinned exactly the same. We did find that the plug is nearly the same and would fit with some trimming but I'd suggest just buying K series plugs.

Update: rod bearings have some wear and I'll be ordering a new set for when I find out what is wrong with this.

Ok guys, I feel kind of silly asking about this but I'm lost. I have a digital VDO gauge and an Autometer mechanical gauge that both confirm about 35-40psi cold idle, and about 10psi hot, and about 40psi on a quick 2nd pull to 6k rpm. The pressure reacts slowly. If I hold it at a high rpm, it will s...

Ok everyone, I just wanted to share my story with the 95-99 Maxima coils for any of you looking into a coil-on-plug setup. I initially went to the junkyard and got 7 coils (4 for use and 3 spares). Well, after getting my fresh engine started and setup on the dyno, they were giving us trouble at 18is...

Very nice! Please post a graph.

The only thing that I can see that might cause an issue is the hose that flows to the back of the thermostat. But surely the coolant surrounding the thermostat should make it open right?

Alright guys, I have a strictly competitive drift car and I'm trying to simplify the cooling system as much as possible. Last season there were (2) coolant hoses that gave me trouble that I'd love to delete on the new setup. I have heard that you need these (2) to help with cooling but I'd like more...

Ok guys so Crower has their ka24de cams on sale and use coupon code 10OFF for 10% off and they are offering free shipping on anything over $150. Thought I'd save someone some dollars!

So the 19th was our Rd3 and the level of Texas driving is getting insane. I was feeling really strong throughout practice and qualifying. I am never good at qualifying and I'd like to say my strength is by far in tandem runs. Qualified a very conservative 13th in the top 16. That's when the hard wor...

We were given a camera to shoot a raw film with and this is what we did. It's a go-pro competitor.

Awesome car! Get it out on track and post some vids.

^^This is exactly what I have thought. Maybe someone else will chime in with another theory though,

Ok no one really answered the question. The issue is that I have read multiple threads on this site saying that ARP's somehow distort the main bore and it needs to be line bored when using these studs. However stock bolts are suppose to not have this issue. Some of the effects of this have been said...

Ok guys I'm building a dual cam for 400-450whp and came across this dilemma. I just don't buy the whole " ARP's distort the crank bore" and stock bolts don't? Both are fasteners and if torqued in order to spec how does an ARP squeeze it any differently? Feel free to get super technical and...

Lol. You just took it to a whole new intelligent level.

Hey Chris, does it bother you that all your company does is knock off real "R&D'd" parts at a fraction of the quality?

215* is not boiling. Because the water in your system is pressurized, the boiling point increases. It is also increased by running any sort of coolant or water wetter type additive.

Wait, you blew an engine at 215f? Please explain.
