That is definitely a phat looking ride. I must say, that I am very impressed with the quality of the work. You truly love your car! Keep it coming!

 

Another I30 5-speed? Cool man! I must warn you though, the front lip install was very difficult and took the shop that I have my car done at took almost the whole day!

 

Both cars are impressive in their own rights.

 

Is that your 240sx in the back too?

AS for the the I30 its the nicest I have ever seen.... You know, I wonder if a 2k I30 can have the same stillen bodykit from a 2k maxima.

 

The 240 in the background is my friend's one (the one that took the picture). As for the Stillen bodykit on new model I30's, you can do just about anything if you know the right shop who can do it. My car was in the shop for a while though.

 

VLSD... it's reported to be a significant performance advantage in the tight stuff (according to the SE-R guys)... I want one too, especially one that looks this good.

 

Nah, I love Maxima's as much as I30's.

 

What year Cefiro did you get the headlight assemblies off of? Been looking everywhere for a cefiro parts importer, only found dealers in Australia. Help!

 

it probably wont, cuz it's a totally different shape. the 2k's lip contours with the round fog lamps n stuff that the max's front bumper has. why dont u try to import the jdm autech kit for it.

 

here's a larger view

 

It's off of a 97-99 Cefiro. The older Cefiro lights are different looking. Not really crystal-clear like the 97-99 ones.

 

Where did you get your headlamps? email me, I'm interested in performing a headlamp switch too...(phreakness@iname.com)

 

hey i30cef, do u also have the 98-00 tail lamps on ur car?

 

Hey MaximaZero, where would you get that kit> do you have any pics of it?

 

i found that pic off nissan.co.jp. they have an autech version of the vq20de cefiro that has that kit on it. i have no idea on who could import that kit over.. im pretty sure that it is only available in japan. btw, did u convert ur tail lamps to the 98-99 style?

 

Nope, that's one of my next projects....Those tails are pretty expensive since you have to buy the middle plastic piece too.

 

WO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY WO

 

Your ride is sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of trading my '99 Max with my friends '97 I30. That is the tightest looking I30 I have ever seen. If you get more pics can I put one or two on my website?

 

Sure, I'm still trying to do the photpoint thing

 

How do I link the pics from PhotoPoint?

 

GOOD GOD

Congrats, you drive the best looking VQ30DE equipped car on the planet!

 

Just type the URL in your post like this {this is for my car} http://albums.photopoint.com/j/album...3884&a=9754008 then anyone can just click on the link and see all your pics.I am picking my I30 up tomarrow nite !!!! I can't wait.About upgrading your tail lights try a junk yard and you will get the whole thing for $200 ish.I think the 99 Limeted I30's got a special tail light assembly which is a little different then the other years,I will get that for my I30 first.I had a question does your car have VLSD? Or is that only available on Autos.Thanks

 

Don't use photopoint. Use http://www.zing.com they don't have a banner when you link photos like photopoint.

 

Thats one Phat ride...i love those headlights...
for the photo thing...once you have the address of the pic you just type <img src=http://www.*****.com/*****.jpg>
and substitute the webpage address instead of stars....tight rims too..does it scrape a lot?

 

What parts exactly would be involved in adapting the cefiro lights to my 97 Max? Estimated cost? I am thinking hood, front fenders, and bumper cover...

 

i30cefiro,
just clear your taillights like how we did it in 97-99 max's and yours should look something like this:


SY~

 

is > supercharger+Y-pipe+Greddy+RT CAT.... etc=$$$$$$
one more

SY~

 

Are both of those yours? How exactly do you clear out the rear turn signals? is it hard?

 

OUCH! That's a little more than I expected. I knew it would cost $$$, but fu!k.

 

NO.. only the black one is mine.. the whiteone is my friend's CEFIRO in TW
I am in NJ.. where are you located?

CLEAR TAIL LIGHTS FOR I30 (~96)
go to Cheston's website
http://www.maximadriver.com

go to HOW2 on the left handside..

go to Clear out your Tail lights.....

With patience and right tools (heatgun, etc)...
I think it would take you a little bit over 2 hr to do it..

Good luck
SY~

 

SY~

 

Thanx for the tip on the clear tail signals. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. Did you import the whole front end?

 

Yes pretty much.. except for da Hood.. too heavy to ship.. I used an I-30 Hood..
pls post your tail-lights after you clear them.. I think it would really look sweet on a WHITE I30...

 

So how much did it cost just for the parts? BTW the Cefiro front end looks pretty sweet! What if I just wanted to add the I30 front end? Cheaper?

 

Hey Nissanfreak, do you just want to put on just the cefiro headlights?

 

Max to I30
if you can get all the parts cheaper.. I think you are still looking at about $3.5k+?? range with the body work and painting (u should check with your local body shop if you know any):

2fenders
hood
grille
headlights
foglights+corner lights
bumper
bumper support (I changed mine.. check wid ur body shop.. u may be able to use the max's?)

I recommand u to get Cefiro headlights if u are really going to do that..(H-4's with build-in City lights=sweet looking +Good visibility)

SY~

 

I agree, these Cefiro lights are bad a$$

 

Yep, that's the most striking part of the package! That's pretty much what I'm looking for...

 

Since the Cefiro and the I30 basically share the same body, the Cefiro headlights bolted right in. There will have to be modification to the hood, front fenders and maybe the bumper of the Maxima because there is a size and shape difference between the two cars' headlight shape (mainly the corner part)

 

Sounds about right, so how much was it for you to import the cefiro lights? I can only imagine what it would cost to get a shop to put them in, but i think they would look good with a Max front end too.
