I searched but came up with nothing. I keep reading that they're different, but they look the same to me.

 

one has a center cap and the 02 has the lugs exposed

 

also I think the 00 and 01's have an odd number of spokes, all 5.5 gen's are 6 spoke. I could be wrong though. I don't even bother to look at those lowely 5th gens.

 

both are 17's right?

 

some 00's are 16's.

 

00-01' 17's I guess have a different spoke design than the 02-03's.

So the 02-03 rims have more clearance from the caliper. Thats why they fit the A34 brakes.

 

Ok, well my 2000 SE came with 02 or 03 wheels. Will they clear Z32 brakes?

 

You didn't find this post did you?

Wow GBAUER & the hits keep on rolling. So how is the lovely 3.5 oil eater HaHaHaHa!!!! Hungry little sucker isent it. What are you adding again? Are you stll putting in a quart of oil every week?

 

the actual spoke itself i believe is different, not the # or look, but the curve and shape on the back is not the same.

Z32>>>A34 brakes, much larger and definetely will not fit stock SE wheels, unless you use some spacers.

 

Not the rotor ...


... ..

 

your smiley faces> my understanding of them

 

This is not that difficult, ladies.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Early '00 SE 16's (5-spoke)


'00-01 SE 17's (6-spoke)


02-03 SE 17's (6-spoke)

 

IS THAT WHAT HE WANTED????????? geez, i wasted my time thinkin everybody else knew what he meant. thanks irish

 

irish44j.... You just made a thread go back on topic

 

lol, hes the best.

 

Yup, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Funny how I always thought the Maximas I rented in the past had better brakes than my 91 ZTT, yet people upgrade their Maximas to Z32 brakes. I think they suck. Thanks.

 

 

sorry sorry, youre the best. well, the maxima is lighter, maybe that makes a big enough difference. also, youre wrong. the Z32 calipers> maxima brakes fo sho.

 

Yeah, prolly true for the Maxima. But even Zers complain about them.

 

 

85% of this thread =

 

who doesnt complain? i bet the Indy Car guys complain about their brakes too and they stop 200-0 in probly the same space it takes us for 60-0.

 

When did I ever say anything fasle? I only made the point of the rotors being larger in diameter for the A34, never did I say either one was better than the other.

You're wrong if you think the Z32 rotors are larger...

But by now this entire thread has turned and has been since its inception...almost.

 

not you, ^^^him. and also so, not the rotors. they are thicker tho.

 

Did I ever say they weren't thicker? I said they(A34) rotors were larger in diameter, never did I mention thickness ..

 

and I thought I had this thread back on-topic....

 

don't make me have to post a rotor/caliper comparison A33 vs. A34...

ok, fine




am I still the best?

 

no, now that you 'd, you just suck. good comparison, although i really dont remember bringing up rotor size, and rotor thickness was just a random useless fact.

 

When I do not like a thread, it has run its course, or has been answered...

My work is done here.

 

I know...I'm just messing with you guys at this point.

 

That's the spirit.

 

It's only a quart every fill up!


I'm ripping apart the engine soon and will post plenty of pics and explainations as to why it's burning oil for others. We'll call that my biggest contribution to maxima.org... short of the white V-kneck and umbrella that is (local DC guys understand. The rest of you just forget about it).
