Well its time to post up some pics of my Max. Positive/negative comments/opinions welcomed. Its a 1997 GLE Max, 218k miles, Metallic Black. I got it back in July 2010 (Its my second DD).

(I'll be getting some red/clear taillights and a new bumper...mine is falling apart).

very nice!!!! i'm looking to get new rims for my GLE too, sawblades arent cutting it anymore.lol those are 17's? what size rubber did you use and your car is dropped right?

they look great

Yes they are 17, I have G35S rims as well and his looks stock. Check out my thread if you wanna see one slamemd with them

Yes, they are 17's. Front tires are 225/45/17 and rear is 215/50/17. I am dropped on tein s-tech, don't like being slammed, too much for my taste.

looks better..that drop looks real mild...whats the drop specs on those stechs for the 4th gen

Looks good. Nice wheels.

I wish your corner lights were AE'd. That MAF adapter looks real good

Thanks. Specs are, 2'' Front, 1.8'' Rear (I believe).

Thanks

Corner lights would match my headlights
Took me a while to get that maf adapter in there but its finally done.

You lazy man lol Now AE your corners.

Looking good, should see it live in person at a meet soon...

What kind of rims are those in the before pictures?

I'm trying to look for black rims for my 97 Black GLE, I'm just a big fan of black rims with a black car and chrome accents. Just my style, I guess haha.

They are Kobe wheels. 17's. They are discontinued. I got 3 of them for sale if you are interested. You'll need to find the 4th one.

I see, well I'm definitely interested. But I have a few more questions, in the before pictures, is that stock ride height? Because it seems to be sitting really high, maybe because of the rims not sure.

So did you lower the car for the after pictures? It seems to be sitting lower, or it's just the rims.

I like the height of your car in the after pictures, but I like the rims in the before pictures.

In the before picures it was stock height. In the after pictures, my max was lowered already with tein s-tech.

I'll find a picture with the kobe wheels but lowered...I know I took some before they were taken off.

i rubbed with a 50 on 17's dropped on s.techs

The only thing that rubs, are my front mud flaps (sometimes) =P

Here you go. I found a pic with my old wheels lowered. Its a cell pic :/
Only one I got.

I like the car with the old wheels better...

Where can I get a battery hold down like that?

Sweet, thanks schmelly!

Nice!

I really like those g35 wheels in the Maxima!

Thank you.

Couple new things here and there. I traded my G35 wheels for some 300zx wheels.

I got myself a NWP Torque Link







I hurt myself during the installation process. Some of my skin peeled off

looks good!!!

Torque link going to stay on? It's a DD right? I want one of those too

Yes its my DD. Its staying forever!!!

If you ever decide to get one

^^The base 6" decal fits perfectly on the passenger visor lid

Lookin good!

Diggin' those 300zx wheels so much more than the older wheels.

Thank you.
Which old ones? The black ones or G35?

Both! The black ones were meh, and the G35's were just decent IMO. I'm a fan of the G35C wheels...

So good

The black ones came with the car. I experienced a oversteer situation, lost control, hit a stop sign and went over the curb. One wheel cracked and I didn't notice months later. Then I went on a hunt for OEM wheels and found the G35 with tires for $200 from the a local G35 owner (Luckily I found him on the g35driver forum ). I felt like the G35 were a bit heavy. I did really like them though. Then I went for a hunt for something a bit lighter. I found the 300zx NA wheel and went through some bs situation (I am pretty sure you know) and that's how it sits now. I need to find something light like yours but first coilover.

Thank you!

I did a small upgrade. Here's the link for those who haven't checked it. They are also pretty useful against tailgaters.

Installed some Red/Clear Taillights from Ebay. Perfect fitment. Nice quality.

I've been rear-ended, so the rear is a bit off.
I'm getting my new bumper cover installed today as well.
Next year I am also getting coilovers. Tein on the front is cool but the rear is

I'm also on the search for rear TT 300zx wheels. I currently have the NA which is also

With a new freshly painted bumper cover.









So recently, I somehow smashed my resonator
