I am about to order the part and the guy told me that the 96 might not fit into the 99 so i am just making sure that it will fit. I will need a new driver side axle. I want to have this part ordered today so it will be at tilleys shop by sunday. Thanks for thoes that can reply.

 

It will fit fine. Just as you said, driver side axle.

 

ok thanks alot for the fast reply. And it wouldnt matter what year (4th gen) the axle is from as long as its the driver side from the locking with abs.

 

doesnt matter what year axle, just as long its with out without abs

 

i have a 1996 I30 drivers axle and VLSD Tranny in my car, Fits like a glove

 

If your car has ABS then you HAVE to have an ABS axle, but if your car DOESN'T HAVE ABS then you can use either an ABS or NON ABS axle.

 

Actually, you can have it either way, as I'm using non-ABS axles, but my car has ABS....i just can't use it...oh well...All you really have to do is take the abs rings off an abs axle, and put it on your non-abs axles...and bam...abs axle!

 

Don't confuse the issue. You know as evidenced by your post that you have to have an ABS ring on the axle if you want your ABS to work. Your post will do nothing but serve to confuse people.

 

Thanks for the information. I ordered the tranny and now i just have to get the abs axle. Then after sunday the car will have VLSD thanks to tilley.

 

I've got a '99 Infiniti VLSD in my '99 max - worked wonders on the strip this past season. That is one tough transmission...

Now if you installed a high-stall Edge torque converter at the same time as the VLSD, your launch would be awesome! Imagine launching at 3000!

I got mine working 3 weeks ago, and there is a world of difference. Good luck.

 

Is your car 5spd or auto... I assumed you were 5spd but then gray99's post made me think he might know something I don't because his torque converter suggestion obviously only applies to automatics. If your car is auto then I don't know if the info I gave is true. I believe it is true, but I haven't done any work on an auto myself so I can't say from firsthand experience.

 

Actually, I might be totally wrong - no mention was made of an automatic or manual. Possibly wishful thinking on my part - wanting to see a supercharged automatic Max w/Edge high-stall converter = dreaming.

Sorry if I read too much into the original post.

 

Yea you read alittle too much into it. This car has been and always will be a manual.

 

just an update for thoes that commented, the tranny that i was supposed to be getting turned out to be a non-locker so im ending up with what i started with just one that works now.
