Nightshots: Maxima's replacement. Friends' both boosted ITR and 240SX (20 pics)
 

The pictures are kind of blurry because there were 45 mph wind gusts. Enjoy anyways! Comments are welcomed (good and/or bad).

I replaced my Maxima with a 2000 Lexus GS400, fully loaded with navigation. I will take more pictures of it later.

Nice choice on the GS, how do you like it so far?

And that 240....that's going to be my twin in about a half a year except for the piggy front. What engine in the 240? Looks clean.

Nice cars, and as always, nice pics!

Very nice

I like the pictures, what kind of camera are you using?

I really want to show you the motor shots, except the owner doesn't want me to show them. All I can tell you is: it's the fastest car I have ever been in. It feels faster than my Maxima with all the mods and 75 shot. It tears up my GS400 like it's standing still.

I usually use a Canon 20D with a variety of lenses. I didn't use it last night. I used a 300D body. I just got a new 28-80mm L lense that I shot with exclusively yesterday.

Gotta love that ITR Redline!
I will always be a fan of teh "H" .......... Nice GS, So what is the first Mod?

I am a Honda boy myself. I am going to roll the GS stock (that's what I am telling myself). I am trying to dodge the modding bug. For how long, I don't know.

Air bags and 19 jp or work wheels will look nice on that GS, but then thats a money pit right there. Looks nice though, I know that if you do end up modding it it will turn out nice especially since you have a good eye for stance.

Nice shots!

I do not like the cars.

Wow great choice on the GS. One of my next car options.

:squint:

Sooo.. RB series then?

Anyway nice shots man, 30D is also a great camera and I really want one... however not more than I want a 3.5.

All the cars are looking good, enjoy your RWD. :) Can you give us the skinny on the 240--track times, dyno #s, etc?

Talk about "sleeper" on both the Type R and 240sx. I bet lots of "damn that car's quick" comments on the streets.

Nice replacement for the Maxima. VIP style for the GS?

Yeah, no doubt. Stock for the GS. I just put my Work Vs-xx wheels on there for now and a small sound system. That's it though. I think...

This picture is from about 5 minutes ago.

The wheels were transferred from my Maxima to my GS400. I just got this car on Saturday. I am trying to sell them to get some 19"s. Seems like nobody wants them. I don't min rolling these temporarily.

Classy! I would lower it a tad and maybe get an exhaust system with some chrome dual tips

Keeping it stock (telling myself)!

you know this is NOT true.... it's going to happen. :rollsmile

LOVE the pictures, like out of a magazine

It might be me, but those wheels looks TINY on that car. I can't wait to see some 19's on there. I really like the old GS's.

^Plus, it has 4x4 ride height.

Great choice, I was hoping you'd go for a BMW :), but the GS400 is a great ride. Please remove those gold badges ASAP - black pearl ones are sexy. Those are great looking wheels, perhaps you can find 2 19 x 10's for the rear and leave the fronts for an aggressive staggered look.

Nice ride Van, how you liking it?

Like the 240 as well.

These are the three things that make me love it:

Engine/power:

Navigation/sound system (aftermarket in trunk):

Looks (after 6 hour PC detail):

I will be dropping it when the springs get here...The modding bug bites fast.

What did you use for the PC detail? Looks good from what I can see.

Are you sure you can't tell me just a little about that s13? From one white, future-t/c'ed fastback to another? Or is he on any forums?

Here is the before/after thread I created on the detail. About the 240sx: he will be upgrading the turbo soon. It's running at maximum efficiency. That's all I can say.

Good lord that engine bay was horrendous. Start out with a leaf blower there? :)

Incredible job, I have a PC but need to get pads and polishes still. Because of that thread I'm going to order some. NOW. :laugh:

always loved the gs...thats what im in the market for now! work for lexus as a senior tech..time to let the max go! props on the detail!

I don't too much care for the other cars but that ITR is NASTY!!

Get some 19" iForged rims on that dude! :)


Bad Boys

Adam, those are out of my price range (for now). Maybe the next set in a few months.

Francis just got some Axis Supermeshes from a maxima.org member for his GS400. I was just seeing what 19"s looked like on our cars. I was sold after we placed them next to the car.

I just bought some 19x8.5 and 19x10 old school Racing Hart C2's. I cannot wait for them to get here!

I can dig it..can't wait to see those RH installed!

Does your GS come with HIDs?

It comes with self-leveling HIDs. When you first start up the car, the lights gradually angle down. When you go over a hill, it angles down more to prevent glare. With these lights, they are always working to their full potential(not too low, not too high). I love it.

Dude those racing harts look sick! When did francis get a GS? I saw those Axis rims on here that francis bought and I almost thought about them for my car. They will look so bad on that GS. I'm thinking about getting the G35 rims that are in the classifieds here, they're a little more in my price range than your high end Works :)

Works were sold locally yesterday. He got that GS a little more than a month ago, I think. You should get those G35 wheels. They will look good on your black Maxima.

Did you sell them to a Maxima guy or what?

I sold them to a local guy with a S13 with a S14 conversion.
