according to the courtesyparts website there looks to be some differences in the head bolts from z31 vg30 to maxima vg30's.

hello,
i bought a sony cdx420ip stereo. as part of installation instructions, i have taken the casing off the ac/stereo. i am now at the part where i need to remove the bracket holding the stock stereo and put my new stereo in that bracket. i am having trouble taking this bracket off (unscrewing the screws). i took it to kragen, who said i should go to the dealer. i went to the dealer and they said that i have to buy a whole new bracket, which is hard to find and will cost me $20. does anyone here know how to remove these screws. this has really been aggravating me for a couple weeks now, and i would really like to get my stereo set up. any help is appreciated. thanks!

I dunno dude I guess you will have to take your maxima vg bolts to the dealer, then see if they match up length/width wise to the z31 bolts they have in stock, if they even have them in stock.
#1968
this will work, but will take forever. if you have an impact screwdriver, it'll save you time and effort. alternatively, you can try to tighten the screws first. this will break the glue/loctite/whatever nissan used on them as a theft deterrent. then you can loosen them easily.
a. most people don't own one
b. last time one was used on my radio, the radio was destroyed in the process.
using the method I described isn't hard at all.
#1969
well the good thing is i work at the dealer but we do not have any in stock so ill jus have 2 special order one lolbut thanks for the help dude ill keep u guys updated on my project

I ran into the exact same thing about a month ago when i installed a new deck+subs. First make sure the new deck you bought came w/ a new set of four screws for the mounting bracket(if it didn't i'm sure you could make a stop at a local hardware shop and get some or go back to the car audio shop). Really easy, just grab a hand electric drill and a bit that is the same width of the shaft of the screw in the bracket(can't remember what size exactly) just drill in the center of the head of the screw that's stuck in the bracket until the head pops off( don't worry you won't damage the bracket). voila bracket off and undamaged, screw it on to your cup holder and wire it up.

that's true. i, myself, used the hammer and screwdriver method the first time too. then, i learned about the tightening trick and cursed about how much time i wasted.

I figure if Ifind him a VE5 I'll sucker him into selling me his rust VG for $500
#1982
haha would you actually drive his GXE if you bought it? I thought you hated VGs cuz they were belted... or do you know he's done his timing belt recently?

Hey guys. I just replaced all 6 of my injectors. Car runs sweet now, but I've been having problems starting. When I was only running on 5 cylinders, the car would start with no problems, it was turn-key for maybe a second and it fired. Now it takes about 4-6 seconds of holding the key for the car to turn over. Any ideas?

his I KNOW the belt was done. so I don't have to worry about it for a few years rather than some people who never did theirs and refuse to (girl had 120k+ on the original belt)

Try this, after the engine has been running, turn it off and remove the spark plugs. If I'm right, you'll hear the fuel hissing into one of the cylinders.

ok guys i need some help on this mysterious fluid leak on the back of my car. on a VG. it seems to be brake fluid to me. the oil does not drip next to the rear passenger wheel but rather about 10 inches inwards from the wheel. i have read posts abut the cylinder (or what ever is on the back on the drum brakes.) going bad but if its leakin out of that wouldnt it be more near the wheel? and also, there is NO loss of brake fluid whats so ever, im checking that every day. anyone had this issue?

issue with john's VG is the strut tower. it's literally separated from the frame... the car sits lower on the left side. How would you go about fixing that? you know if you bought it to drive, you'd need to have that taken care of cuz it's just plain unsafe.
and by years i assume you mean years until you buy it. cuz we all know you wouldn't keep a car for years.... how's your Formula coming?
#1990
Based on my experience, one of your injectors is leaking fuel into the cylinder, so its flooded/rich when you start. I had the same issue, and it also developed soon after I replaced an injector. It turned out to be a bad o-ring.
Try this, after the engine has been running, turn it off and remove the spark plugs. If I'm right, you'll hear the fuel hissing into one of the cylinders.

The formula has been gone for a few months now. I had no place for it once we lost the shop so i sold it for a loss I wish I had kept it, there was SO much potential there. I'll probably pick up something else in the future, or maybe finally build my own. either that or just lease something and fug it all

#1993

o yea. just ask greeny's nose what happens if you don't. if you don't compress the spring (or if the compressor breaks) the force can kill you if the spring launches at you.
#1997
so can i remove the whole assembly as in the dtrut and springs off the car first then compress the spring, or do i compress the springs first then remove it from the car?

2009 Maxima, iPod 4th gen problems
I have now had my 09 Maxima for about 2 months, great car and very good all around. Lately I purchased a new Nano iPod and connected it with the Nissan Supplied cable, apparently the new version of the iPod is not supported by Nissan and therefore the iPod will not recharge while connected. Has anyone found a different cable that will charge the iPod? worse comes to worse I suppose I can go back to the old iPod but would rather not.
Thank you for your help
