Looks very nice

95bkackmax18s Jan 3, 2006 05:53 PM

looks good and clean, nice lighting. the drop looks nice and low, what set up do you have? cefiros look good too. last pic looks nice with the 97 tails.

MacAlert Jan 3, 2006 05:55 PM

Damn that drop is nice!! Wish I could get away with that in NY.

Ever thought of a lip kit or 97-99 front end conversion?

goobergo Jan 3, 2006 06:54 PM

car looks great, for some reason I really like lightly modded max's they look clean and great! IMO some people get a little out of control with the modification. Great looking max!

4x4Max Jan 3, 2006 07:11 PM

Daaaaamn that looks perfect, im also interested on that drop. Must be coilovers.

polvoronn Jan 3, 2006 10:42 PM

it's a little low for my liking, but with wheels like that, it would probably look like an suv if it were any higher. Very tastefully done. Keep up the good work!!

NCSU_MAX Jan 4, 2006 11:13 AM

wow, looks really good! love the black

BigLou93SE Jan 4, 2006 12:37 PM

Nickel Jan 4, 2006 03:01 PM

thats a nice ride. i wanna drop mines but i heard that when you drop it you have to re-place your axels every mouth is that true??

amimaxima Jan 4, 2006 05:59 PM

what is the car lowered on thats is every low. i've never seen a maxima that low before

vsamoylov Jan 4, 2006 06:25 PM

nice max. what are you dropped on?

Stillen Maxima Jan 4, 2006 06:33 PM

Looking good!!!!

kbmaxima Jan 4, 2006 06:52 PM

wow. so nice n clean n low. cool plate number too :)

Digitized Jan 4, 2006 09:38 PM

Mod list added...


thanks all for the positive feed back. :D
as for the plate number, thanks it's actually pshopped :p

when I got the max, first thing I wanted were the Cefiro lights since that was able to make it stick out more from other maxes.
I wanted to do a full conversion to 97-99 front and rear conversion since it looks more "agressive"... turns out, I decided to only do the trunk and tail lights since the rear bumper of the 97-99 has a flat surface/cut on it whereas the 95-96 is nice and smooth. Also, I wanted the 97-99 front bumper to compliment the Cefiro's. I find the 97-99 front bumper so much more agressive. after awhile, I actually like the 95-96 front better. It's subtle, but can look mean ( I plan on adding a 95-96 stillen lip)

So, how often do you seen 3 models in 1? ( Cefiro, Max 95-96, Max 97-99 ) :)

Digitized Jan 4, 2006 09:41 PM

The car is dropped on D2's...
for the price I paid in spring , personnally, this suspension is worth the price!

and as for axle problems, once dropped, make sure you align your car...
I have to replace mine ( passanger side) but that's because my camber wasn't ajusted properly for that height ( D2 Coil Over comes with camber adjustement plates ( for front suspension)

as for the pics, thanks :thumbsup: I try to make my pics more interesting ( location, lighting, weather....) I have fun scouting locations :D

Go ahead and do the drop man.

.................................................. ....................................

Nice car bro. Looks very clean. And i like the drop too. I can't do that where i live, gotta settle for 1 - 2.5 inches lol.
Got anything done in the interior? if so lets see some pics.

mendon99 Jan 6, 2006 11:34 AM

digitalized, are you gonna clear your rear corners? you should.

sean05 Jan 6, 2006 12:32 PM

beautiful car dude. great work!

Digitized Jan 8, 2006 12:09 PM

thanks guys..
as for the car looking long? that's probably because she is slammed to the ground ( illusion)

as for the red/clears, yeah I want to clear them, but I'll probably buy them already cleared from a member here ( I've seen a few sets for sale in the for sale section)...


I just can't wait for this snow to go away and start photoshoot 2006 :)

I am randomly asking people this because I'm interested, did you bother corner weighting the D2's?

corner weighting meaning? :scratch: :gotme:

95 maxima se Jan 8, 2006 07:55 PM

ur max is sweet!! im gonna do the same set up like ur max except the cefiro headlights.

Digital Jan 8, 2006 08:15 PM

Lovin the drop. I wish I could slam my **** like that but the roads in the tri-state area won't allow that with out bouncin all over the place and or, swervin' all over the road to avoid potholes. Overall, thumbs up. :)

Fr33way™ Jan 8, 2006 08:19 PM

Wow that is slammed, very clean ride.

Meaning adjusting the coilovers so that with you in the car the weight is even.
It's a PIA, but if you're doing any real driving ie auto-x, track day or even drag passes, it will make the car handle far better than just springs. The ability to corner weight is why coilovers exist.

Digitized Jan 9, 2006 11:19 AM

eheeheh thank you for the explanation...
therefore, no, I didn't corner weight... however, seeing the spring/shock so stiff, even if I get in the car, the wheel/car itself will not move ( meaning car won't drop lower since it's preset for that height and that height only)...

Since I don't do track yet , the only reason why I get coilovers is more for the height/ comfort adjustments..

However, the corner weighting does seem interesting.. I will look into it.. thanks
