6th Gen lowered with Bodykit takes on steep driveway!!!
Warren "Ramberg" shot this VID for me when we got back from sightseeing in my area!!!
Watch the rear wheel leave the ground, thank goodness for independant rear suspension. We also shot his ride going up my driveway with the same results! I'm sure he'll upload it soon, he's on his way back to NY this morning.
woooooow. thats sick. wat suspension do u have on ur MAX?
D2 Coilovers, Racingline F/R endlinks with Energy Suspension bushings, STILLEN rear anti-sway bar and front upper strut tower brace, and 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R front lower anti-sway bar (24mm verse OEM 22mm).
I love the look on the faces of owners of 2 door coups when my turbo is kicking in and I'm pushing them out of a curve like they are going too slow!!! Overall my car runs flat with minimum body roll and my tires grip like they're on rails...
I don't know man, my driveway is much steeper than yours!! I get the 3 wheel motion every time thought too, my neighbors trip out! Especially on the 3 point turn everyday to get out of my driveway....no joke!

how long did u had d2 coilover for n does it make a noise? Bec I heard d2 don't last longer.!
Almost 2 years now with zero issues. Also no coilover will last long if you live in an area that is pothole central with ****ty streets!!! My roads are long and smooth!!!
So car is up and running and out of the bodyshop and sounding insain. I wanna see some clips of this thing in motion. Get some street clips up and some dyno vids. I mean seriously this is not only the first 6th gen turbo but also the first internally gutted and beefed up 6th gen. Once again you have deffied the laws of Nissan and made it better than the pros. Ok enough hype, post more vids. I have been patiently waiting and still nothing except this mysterious 3 wheel driveway climb. That bumper is a pain in the arse for sure. I was just talking to the wife about upgrading to 20in rims to give me a bit more clearance. You are on 18's with big tires and a suspension drop right? Since you have coilovers, you should raise them a bit.

I have several major things to do first. 1. Finish breaking in the rebuilt engine. 2. Send my extra valve body to Level 10 transmission for an upgrade (solenoids/bigger valve ports/beefier springs) to hold more pressure in the tranny. 3. Swap them out. 4. Back to PTuning to dynotune the changes to the car. 5. Get enough time and money from work to do it all. 6. Deal with 100's of impatient people like you I have to deal with on my schedule regardless if I hurt their feelings!!!
http://www.levelten.com/category_s/46.htm same as it was last time I visited the site. Nothing listed for our cars. I did just send them an email to see if they had anything to offer our transmissions. We will see when they reply. Ohh also curious as to why another transmission rebuild for you? I thought you did this back in phase 2 or something like that.

Not doing another tranny rebuild, having the valve body only beefed up which did not get done with my tranny rebuild, I just dropped a new one in as part of my rebuild so I still have my spare. Level 10 said they will beef up the valve body to hold more pressure which is the problem when cranking up the boost. Not listed on their web site but I called them and they know the specifics and said they can and will do it. Level 10 rep is solid and it's about $600, then the cost to swap out the valve body's!
No I just recently got my car out the shop with the new engine rebuild and only have 400+ miles on it and it's not tuned to the new lower compression pistons ratio.

haha badass im sure there like "WTF was that?"
thats cool man i wish my MAX would have less body roll. but tein s-techs and stock struts suck!!!

You should be able to do the valve body swap out yourself. Would save you quite a bit of money I bet. I mean it really can't be that hard. The thought of having that guarantee it is installed and covered though might be worth the extra few bucks to have someone else do it. Do you think the internals will hold up? I mean I have been talking with Pat from Level 10 and if the price is right I am considering just getting the whole transmission rebuilt with their parts from a local shop back in Washington when I get there. Might even consider doing it out here in Hawaii, however the cost of shipping is so ridiculous. How about that Torque converter you had restalled, still holding up well?
Call the shop and ask for Jason(owner) or Patrick.
They do some really awesome work and I will be dropping my spare tranny for them to play with.
I spoke with Jason yesterday about the issues and he said he would upgrade the valve bodys. The shop has 3D CAD and CNC machine, They also make brackets and pulleys for ProCharger.
They speicalized in AutoTrannys, We recently cross paths this week and I was speaking with the owner on possiable helping out the 6th gen guys.
Stop Global Whining!!!
