Thanks man! Cant wait to load'er up for this weekend... Just need to find a cart so I can wheel it on to the beach!

Great info guys! I'll have to start building a VG34 and get Nefarious to help me lol.... jk In other news ,my 37 qt frig showed up... works great by the couch to keep beers cold haha

Awesome! I want to do this mod... how long did it take to get everything put together? Wondering if it's worth the cost for parts + labor since I dont have my own shop to swap the motors out....

subscribed! Looks great! What area you located in? SoCal I hope? I may try to tackle this once my other car gets out of the shop...

Yea I may just get another MAF and bore it out then use my good one come testing time heh

Anyone have any experience with this intake? I talked to JWT and they said its not really worth it to upgrade the MAF with programming the ECU unless I was doing a full engine build...

https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/air-intake-upgrade-p-5.html I bought this one - not really sure what it looks like but hoping it's good...

Just ordered some goodies: Air Intake Upgrade ARB 37 Quart Refrigerator Freezer Mile Marker SEC8 Electric Winch TJM 17,600 lb Snatch Strap

yea for sure + winch + compressor + etc etc haha ~2k in parts (again)

Do you think it can be tuned enough to pass CA smog test? Took it off road today and at higher elevations 3000 - 6000 ft it was feeling a bit tired even with the new headers / exhaust.... needs moar air!

Now I know for sure I need a front locker to get over some of these obstacles the mod bug continues....

That sounds pretty cool. I'm itching to get some more air into my VG30... I emailed JWT to find the right pop charger / MAF to use and to stay ca smog legal... sounds like it would require an aftermarket ECU... but also not looking to dump more $ into this beast as tempting as it is haha

Thanks guys! I really like how it came out - even though the fitment wasn't perfect its not that noticeable unless you look closely... They didn't bother mounting the top brackets so I guess that's fine until I plan on adding a winch. Not sure if / when I'll do that though. my Rigid Industries Dually LED lights are going on next and some new side marker lights, and the headlights as they aren't as bright as they should be. The lower mounts are actually pretty solid and I think it would be fine to get pulled out if I did get stuck with some straps on those huge shackles! I'll see about posting some pics but the shop drilled some holes and had to shim it a bit to adjust it properly.

Got it mounted aww yea!

The million $ question is that are these mods worth the HP gains? Nefarious, are you running a VG33 block as well?

Yea its not powder coated its just painted so yea makes it a bit easier.. but yea im sure ill be able to see the top of it over the hood while driving it hah hopefully its not too damn big lol

I wonder how much of a pain it'd be to shorten it.... just by cutting the top portions off and shorten it by 3-4"......... we'll see how it looks once its mounted up I guess.

Hoping the upper grill guard is not too tall ... I told them I wanted it to look like the ARB bar but it appears to be much higher than the ARB bar....

Yes! Thanks Nefarious! I'm trying to squeeze as much juice out of this poor little VG30E... I might try the VQ35 swap to make the cost worth while.... added doug thorley headers with gibson exhaust so hoping that will put some life back into her. She needs more power off road... Let me know how it goes. Looking for something better than the stock MAF which has about a 1" diameter hole.... Would the pop charger fit directly onto the MAF in this case?

http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/customer_part_detail.asp?PartID=466 Has anyone tried this MAF sensor? I'm sure it requires an aftermarket ECU right? I also want to try this with their pop charger to go with my new headers and exhaust..! Will this give me some good gains?

Gibson exhaust not gordon hah I wish this exhaust came with flanges to mount up to the rest of the system w/o welding but oh well.

Awesome! Yea cant wait to get her back... and oh yea putting on doug thorley headers with gordon catback exhaust... luckily the shop only broke 2 studs and they were able to get them out without too much trouble.... gonna be mean!

Hey mypath what MAF are you running that allows more airflow? The stock one only has like a 1.5" or less hole which seems really small....

SUP-6065_a Nissan Pathfinder Upper Control Arms by Superlift, 1987 - 1995, 2.5" Lift Ordered these ... from rugged rocks I think. Hoping to get some better alignment and no more wandering around the highway at speed....

Yea truck is in the shop to get a huge list of stuff fixed... new AC condenser, new brakes, new master cylinder, new UCA's and then the bumper... Hopefully it won't be too much trouble for them to fabricate a mounting bracket or modify my old OEM one's ....
