Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I don't remember.

Really? nothing? 

 

Some keywords I may have used: i30t, Maxima, A32, VQ30DE (swap), this picture

...

 

Nothing?

 

Oh well, It's not that special of a car, anyways, basically a fourth gen Maxima with a different exterior and dash. Engine is quite nice. I've really been wanting to do an engine swap into an S30 or S-Platform, but I have almost no knowledge or time on how to do it.

The last Frontier is indeed almost the same as the last gen Navara. I just feel that the new Navara is a bit too small to compete with the Colorado/Canyon and the new Tacoma. The current Ranger (not sold in North America) is approaching the size of the F150.

It's just meant to be a really, really light duty truck..

 

The Ranger is still 3 feet shorter than my F150 and about half a foot smaller in width and height, that's a good chunk considering it's size. It also looks like a pansy truck with the styling. Really sad it went that route. I also thought they sold pretty well in NA, strange they got rid of it.

lol nope. I wish.

 

Similar engine though, (the block is the same or really similar IIRC). VQ30DE vs VQ35DE. Just a bit bored out and has variable valve timing in the G35. 

 

True story, R34 Skyline GT-R and Fairlady Z JGTC race cars used a VQ30DETT

4WD/AWD is the norm here. I would love to say that all the Subies here are STIs, but they're not (there are a few Stinkeye's, and two or three blobeyes, but nothing else) Mostly Fourth Gen Legacy Outbacks and XV Crosstreks, with a few Foresters and occasional 2.5RS

I'm kinda surprised that 4wd isn't more common here in Finland.

Currently it's absolute hell driving with 2wd even on studded tires.

Being careful helps but having 4wd would be so nice.
