still there

 

He lost his blootoof earpiece?

 

it's a sign of the appocalypse

 

 

he's about a mile away right now.

 

he picked it up

 

lol you guys got way too much time on your hands. Brian I wish I had a laptop with wireless at my job.

 

Well if i have to, I'll probably do it. But not for a looong time .

 

So I picked up an ECU off a 1993 GXE from the JY. I think it had DCC but shouldn't matter right?

I'm looking into replacing it today. The lil screw on the one I pulled from the JY has a clear plastic on it and it looks like it hasnt been tampered with before, does that sound about right?

Can I just unscrew, plug, and play? or is it something crazy like unplug batt and then do previously mentioned?

 

take the battery neg cable off before touching that ecu harness, unless you want mashed potatoes and slaw with that.

 

I'm actually eating cornishhen, mash potatoes and biscuits...mmm

see

 

You should do another screen capture of yourscreen with the picture in it so it'll give it that endless repetition effect
... not that you eath cornishhen, mash potatoes and biskuts all the time

 

You know dude, its funny cuz I was also thinking about that...with the pic.

Oh well, I'm changing my ECU tomorrow after work or after school depending on the time I get off work. Lets hope that fixed whatever lag I've got.

 

i must give you a +1 on this job, not one for the light hearted or slightly retarded. Ill stick with basic electrical HID stuff, lighting, stereo stuff. because i can im making my car a manumatic too. I am looking to buy a new car soon, probally a newer maxima so this one will be a fun car.

-b

 

manumatic is TOUGH to do. shift pattern is AB, B, --, A for the solenoids active in the forward gears. Good luck seting up an up/down controller for that. I'm working on a manual switch for each solenoid and just hit the right one for what gear i want. I have done half the wiring for this, and I got mad enough with the darn TCU wiring to even imagine what BlooToof went through.

 

how long of a project was that john? i also saw some body mention something about seats did you change from manuel to power? i know on most cars the wiring is there are the maxima's the same or ru on your own when it comes to crazy stuff like that?

 

Everything took 25 hours on and off for a whole week. I had manual seats and got some cheap power leather in excellent condition so I looked for the connector under the current seats at that time and it wasnt there. I just tapped into the cigarette lighter for some power but then fixed it to the back of the fuse panel, thats actually still pending as we just wanted to put everything back together.

 

sounds like one fun ill have to venture under my seats and see whats under there lol maybe ill play with mine too. lol

 

Yea, you'll see a connector under the driver seat but its for the seatbelt so dont mix em up

 

funny hook it up and the folds me in half when i open the door lol

 

I can conclude what you're saying but just to make sure I did get it can you say that again?

 

Just thought I'd post the link to the original problem thread made for this issue, this is for future educational purposes.

Mmmm, I remember this meal and could sure as hell go for some more... mmmm

 

Fix me a plate

 

Two years later and my wipers still work

 

How about the actual spray? I had to replace that little pump in my car a bit over a month ago, 16 years of operation aint bad though.

 

My pump still works, but I've had to replace the nozzles a few times due to the tips getting clogged with gunk.
I also had the rubber gasket around the pump go bad right after I bought the car (10 yrs ago).. $3 part, 1hr labor. yaay. Least I didn't have to pay someone to fix it for me.

 

hey Matt, mind if i ask you where you got your pump gasket at? Mine is leaking too.

 

Both the pump and the nozzles still function quite well. My 4th gen however I had to get a safety pin and poke the nozzles to clean out the gunk, they spray like new now

 

$tealership. They're like $5, but it's the hassle and wait for the part that sucks.
If you're lucky they'll have one in stock but don't count on it.

 

Shame all this work was done for a VG

I kid I kid.

Enjoy the new ride man. More mods! More Mods!

 

I was at the JY today and actually came across a VE5 with 139k untouched trans and drive train I'm thinking about it... hmm sure would make a nice 5spd now that it handles well with all my suspension mods

 

you actually stopped to think about it?
fool.

where is that stupid doit.jpg when you need it? if I saw a ve5 trans at the junk yard, I would do everything in my power to own it, immediately.

 

lol it would be my second one.. Caped got the last one I had... I mean technically the trans I have in my 3rd gen right now has 19k-20k miles on it.

I might just work on pulling the trans and swap parts, if I decide to go with it then cool, if not.. I'm sure some people here would like some parts for sale. It all depends how long til' I get the 97 running efficiently and whether my mom and I will share the 3rd gen (she doesnt drive stick)

 

Shoulda bought mine when I was thinking about selling it, John. Right now I haven't driven it in 6 weeks. The power steering pump died right before went out of the country for a month. Finally bought one earlier today and will put it in next weekend. Next up after the holidays: pull the tranny, take it to the local Nissan specialist, and have him put in a new input shaft bearing. What sucks is for the cost of those two things I could have bought long tube headers for the Corvette...
