What have you done to your P5 today?

[Bonks]

replaced my stock coolant overflow tank with a stainless water bottle
after:

Nice, looks clean, is that actually just a SS drink bottle?

I bought my P5 a friend:

Now I have too many cars... Anyone need an '02 Maxima?

 

[CTt3P5]

Why you getting rid of the Maxima cheese...it is the 4DSC.

Cleaned up the summer wheels for both cars. Then I jacked up the rear and tried to install the camber bolts on the rear struts. Couldn't get them to budge, sprayed them down with PB Blaster and will do the same for the next few days and try again later this week.

Because I have 3 cars now... and the Maxima has a slushbox.

Those bolts should come out pretty easy, a big breaker bar is your friend in this situation.

I attempted to put a hatch spoiler from a speed3 onto my p5. No dice, the angle is just a little off and it is just a tad too long. Bummed me out! I suppose if I had any fiberglass skills at all I could modify it. We will see what happens later this spring, since I have zero dollars invested (thanks Josh) I might give it a shot. Or just put it on our 3 and not eff it up so it can't be used at all.

With that Progress rear sway, it can come around on you in an instant if you're not careful. Don't ever lift off the throttle if you go hard into a turn.

Haha, I will remember that then. It was the first time I really pushed her. I've had fun in some turns but that was pushing her to the limit.

depends on how high of compression you want to go to. FSZE pistons are higher compression than stock and they're oem

Installed SCMP3's MSP cluster

I didn't realize the mileage was saved in the gauge cluster so I gained about 96,800 miles last night

Is it possible to remove the MSP parts of the cluster (faceplate, needles etc) and put them in the p5 cluster so you retain your actual odo reading?

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I spoke with JT about it and it seems like too much work. People have broken needles trying to do so. I'm sure I can and I may try some time. My mileage is now frozen on my other gauge cluster for the time being. I'm CHEATING!

 

[Circuit]

You won't break your needles. It's actually really easy. The faces come off with the needles. The gas/oil temp are 6 silver screws on the back of the cluster. The tach and speedo each have 2 small tabs that need to be pried out to perpendicular to the board and they come off.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

^Boss! I have plenty of tiny PC tools to help with that. Guess I will tackle this tonight!

Just take your time bending the tabs. It's pretty easy with needle nose pliers, just don't slip and scratch the board and cut a trace.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

I'll make sure to take my time. If I cut a trace, I can repair it

 

[Bastian]

Finally got my new wheels and lug nuts on! So happy to say goodbye to the steelies after two years...

 

[Hank3]

Installed Progress RSB.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

Thanks for the help Circuit, I got my stock cluster apart (gauges and all)

I brought it to work so I can disassemble the MSP cluster and swap the parts
