Well last night we decided to get rid of yet another 4X4 4th gen on the road. We had a little mini meet at my house, me, Andrew (maximaR3), pete (one who we're dropping), a few alty's, DeRaNgEd (eric), nick, a mustang owner and bl513 (OLD member with his M3). Anyway we cracked open a few beers and got started. Taking the 1st wheel off we run into a prolem. The lug nut was completely rounded off on the inside (cheap as pep boys lugs.) Sooooooo we pack up and head to eric's house since he keyed us in that he had air tools and the whole nine (THANKS BIGTIME ERIC) So we try a few things including a T-60 Torx bit (biggest we could find at pep boys at 9PM) that we planned on jamming in there but it still too small. Finally eric gets a socket adapter and begins shaping it with a dremel and hammers the damn thing into the lug. Finally it comes off...



After that it was semi smooth sailing with your ordinary snags etc. and it took us a ridiculous amount of time to get the job done. We screwed around, worked, screwed around...anyway...I don't feel like writing anymore so here's the pics...

Before:


After:


He used sleepers old eibach/tok combo and with his rim/tire combo the car barely looks lowered. but take note of the before pic...

Other misc pics of other rides can be seen here... http://members9.clubphoto.com/christ...ner-b26a.phtml

 

a couple more pics...i had to post this one of pete...




eric's sticker...classic

 

 

Jesus! That's guy's in no condition to be working on a car.

 

right tool for the right job is soooo much better.

 

Heheheh thanks for the props.

Nice pics. Now I have to separate the lug from the extension. That should be fun since I nailed it in like a 16 year old Virgin on prom night.


Hey...... Where's my $5!!

LOL!




*Meant to say 16 instead of 1*

 

on the before pic.. did anyone try to fit their head in the wheel well?

 

funnny you said that...they did at the time of the before pic. jeff (redmapa007) did but i don't think we ever got a shot of it

 

Even with my Eibachs I can still fit 4 fingers in the back, and 3 in the front.

 

well you have a body kit so it looks good.. and it doesn't scrape as much

 

I did that when Kaleb and I were installing the Eibachs on my car..
I got my head stuck in there and about ripped my ear off on the lip of the wheel well.

 

third gen with wheel gap? where is DA-Max

 

He wasn't drunk. I don't think he even drank any beer. That's how he looks naturally. LOL!
J/K

 

 

I have a 4x4 max too ... guys want to install my springs

 

Depends on how much money you have.

 

not much I'm getting 2 tv in my headrests. I got a great deal. Pics to come.

 

i was thinking the same thing

 

Mine was on jackstands at the time.

 

So he went from 4x4 to almost stock height for all other cars. Nice

 

I love the sticker "I love Hondas. When they're on fire"

 

where can I get that I love honda sticker?

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say altimas.net

 

Actually my very good friend has his own vinyl business and can make you anything. He is at least 20% cheaper then any place you can find. On certain items he has been known to be 70% cheaper then any place out there. So if you want anything E-mail him at westside_vinyl@yahoo.com

Tell him DeRaNgEd sent you, and he'll hook you up.


*Shameless plug*

 

 

as was i .... p.s. thanks for the tools/space eric.

 

Anytime guyz. What good is having all of those tools and not using them?

 

i need to get rid of my wheel gap too

 

airbags or coil overs ?

 

coilovers.. when i do change

 

cool

 

It's all Maxima love

 

It's Deranged! I was wondering when I might see you around...you wouldn't happen to be talking about Wampaz would ya?

John

 

Holy crap!!!

Funny meeting you here. LOL!
Anyway I talk to Wampaz all of the time. I've known him for over 8 years. I saw him last night actually, him and a few other people started a car club. So have you modded your car at all?

 

That's cool - wish I could live in one place long enough to know someone that long. As far as mods, well, there's not much for an I35 (in terms of cosmetics) and pretty much every performance/handling mod I know my Infiniti dealer would have a duck. They're all still perplexed when they see me drive the car into the service station asking if it's really mine. I guess if you consider them mods though, I have put a front STB on and some blue 194 LED bulbs in the city lights in the headlights.

I am eyeing an Addco RSB though...

Seeya later,

John

 

Cool man!
I'm glad you are doing something to it rather then leaving it stock.
What do you do that has you moving around so much?

 

Ahhh...my dad was in engineering for the good part of my younger life before he went into sales. So, basically he went wherever the company told him to go. Thus the whole family picked up and left..
