THIS PARTICULAR 3RD GEN HAS A VERY LONG AND UNIQUE HISTORY. THE CAR BEGAN AS A H.S. GRADUATION PRESENT BACK IN 1999. SHORTLY FOLLOWING, THE CAR BECAME A PROJECT VEHICLE FOR A PUBLICATION TITLED STREET RACING MAGAZINE.

THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SETUP TO BE NATURALLY ASPIRATED. WITH A MILDY BUILT ENGINE, IT WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE AROUND 250HP TO THE WHEELS. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ABLE TO OUTPERFORM MANY CARS AT THE TRACK, IT WAS STILL NOT ENOUGH. THE CAR WAS JUST ABOUT THERE, BUT THE POWER ISSUE NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE WAY THE VG30E IS SETUP, IT IS DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET MORE THAN 275HP BY GOING NATURALLY ASPIRATED. IT NEEDED FORCED INDUCTION. SO WHY NOT SWAP IN A FULLY BUILT JDM VG30ET, ADD SHITLOADS OF FUEL AND PEFORM A CUSTOM TURBO SETUP USING THE VG30ET EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.

FROM THERE, I SPENT 3 YEARS RESEARCHING AND GATHERING PARTS MYSELF. IN ALL HONESTY, NOBODY HELPED. EVERYONE CRITICIZED ME FOR WASTING TIME AND MONEY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT COULD NOT BE DONE.

TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, AFTER CONSIDERABLE TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT, I NOW HAVE ONE OF THE QUICKEST MAXIMAS OUT THERE AND A 3RD GEN AT THAT! THE PULL ON THIS CAR IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

WHAT WAS ONCE A STOCK 160HP 80'S 4-DOOR SEDAN, IS NOW A 400+HP MONSTER, READY TO MATCH UP WITH SOME OF TODAY'S FASTEST STREET CARS. HOWEVER, THE CAR IS NOT COMPLETELY DONE. SOME OF OUR FUTURE PLANS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND (PAGE 8).
