I may be mistaken, but isn't or wasn't the cefiro the j-spec maxima, although RWD with the rb20det? Same body, different drive train... I could be way off.


Edit: I am way off. It was closest to the Laurel and Skyline & was the basis for the Sylvia. Maybe next time.

 

no, not the same. one of the guys here sent me some sweet pics of a maxima> a31 front clip conversion, awhile back. he asked me not to show anyone, but he hasn't posted it up, so idk if he ever fully finished. but it looked good.

it took a bit of work to do, remolding the grille, hood, and some other stuff, but he did it.

 

I checked on it to make sure and nope

 

does anybody know the part # on the black metal tabs on a throwout bearing? One of mine is broken and i need a new one. Thanks.

By the way im a newbie and was wondering if i head to the nissan dealership will they be able to source me parts within a reasonable timeframe(???) I live in the bay area if that helps. I need to get the boot for the tranny and also these tabs to complete my parts.

 

new throw out bearing, and they might have it to you in a few day. i would use courtesy nissan . com

 

no i already got a new throwout bearing.. i need the clips on the side.

 

Yea i changed the fuel filter two weeks ago and no the paper tab didnt get in there lol, but i could tell you that i put a propane tank around the MAFS and the engine raced up and went back to normal i recently fixed my MAFS because it had bubbles in it But what im thinkin is i need a new MAFS completly because it has never been changed. but would a bad MAFS cause a car to shut off when it starts

well i dont understand what you are getting at with the propane but yes it maybe the MAFS

 

the propane indicates a vacuum leak not a bad MAF

 

well i never new you could do that

Fixed

 

Got my tranny out today, was a real tough one getting the axel off. The driver side axel boot broke open and peanut butter (ha ha) came out. Should I go to pick n pull and get another one in better condition or is there something i can do about it. Thanks.

 

Don't screw around with used axles, just get a new/reman axle/s..

 

Ok so i'm trying to unscrew the filler plug on my transmission but it won't buge a single bit, I used a breaker bar first didn't move a bit, and then i borrowed my friends impact gun and gave that a shot, but still won't buge. Is there a way to get this filler plug off??

 

just fill it from the speed sensor hole instead.

 

i have a question, i looked through the other pages and didnt find a thread on this. i am trying to figure out the name of a part. its basically under the throttle body but a lil bit toward the back of the motor. all the vacuum hoses connect to it and it has a couple of connectors on it and it has 2 black ***** on it. if someone could help me that would be great

 

Where would the sensor hole be? Do you perhaps to have a pic for that.

 

Valve assembly solenoid..

i have a question,

for the exedy clutch kit it did not come with any clips on the throwout bearing but the ones on the throwout bearing that we took off the tranny has black metal clips that don't fit. Does the exedy clutch kit throwout bearing omit these clips?? thanks.

 

need some help I own a 05 max, a weird sound while driving 40 to 60 mph, then it goes away, nissan dealer are telling me is the timing chain, it that possible for a car that has all services done every time is needed?.

 

LOOK HERE!!----> http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...-2004-2008-48/

 

wrong gen, this is the '89-'94 section

 

1989-94 Maxima 11 inch 4 piston kit Max11-4

these will not fit under stock wheels, correct??

 

if they do not, it would be because they are just a smidge too big. should fit fine under 16"s for sure. (just installed some 13" brakes on a prelude w/17"s and they BARELY fit see here)

 

wow thats tight!

ok well i want to hang on to my saw blades. arent the Z saw blades 16" or are they 15s as well?

 

I believe the TT z31 had 16" but not 100% on which models that was. (you should know better than I would )

 

true sad to say the z i had was an 86 turbo, had if for a month then parted it. i was going to turbo my max with it but it became to costly at the time. rebuild the motor with a new turbo and jwt cams then sold it to a drifter. last year the jackass over headed the thing and F***ed it. oh well i made my money lol

 

if it uses the stock rotors, it seems like it should fit. you MIGHT have spoke clearance issues tho.. the SE (sawblade) wheels are wider with the same offset so that'll give you a few MM more spoke clearance than GXE wheels would... and the Z sawblades are 16x6.5+20 iirc. I think azurebluez has them

 

Are the VQ fuel injectors similar to the VE injectors? I am working on getting some refurbished ones. These have a two year; 24000 mile warranty.

Go ahead and laugh at me internetautomar...

 

same part number.

 

you're still probably wasting your time with refurbished injectors... even if you get new ones for free you still have to take them off and change them and reinstall them, pray you don't mess up the o-rings, etc. if you are gonna put them on tho (i assume on a VE engine) then at least put the refurb in the front... since on a VE you can pull the front rail w/o pulling the intake.

 

So then I would be ok to get this part then.

Well that is the problem. I have two that are out; one in front and one right behind the other. So the intake has to come off anyway.

 

well.. if you just take one good injector from the front, move it to the back, then put both refurbs in the front just to make it easier if (when) they fail. for me it doesn't matter.. i have to remove the intake no matter what. which will be soon as #4 is reading 50 ohms but you can still save yourself the trouble of pulling the intake twice (unless a rear injector fails )

 

I had one that was reading 23 and the other 112 ohms. The car was vibrating real bad with these two under 1500rpm. The other four are comfortably between 12-14 ohms. The new injectors would be a solid red color, much like the ones that were pulled?

 

Also, are the pickup screens the same between the VE and the VQ?

 

hell if i know

they say they're the same part number.. so they should go straight in. part # matching is more important than color matching.

 

hey guys when mounting the clutch pedal to the car for an AT to MT swap, do i need to retain the sensors (2 electrical connectors, one for the clutch depressed, one for not)?? thanks in advance.

 

yea. wire the top one in series with the smaller connector on the brake pedal (cruise control cancel switch) and wire the bottom one from any 12v wire (i used one of the green/black wires from the harness plug that is clipped into the top of the ECU/TCU mounting bracket) and the other side, wire into the brown wire that connects into the back of the black relay that is on top of the left side of the SMJ (big wire junction behind the fuse box under the dash). On either switch, it doesn't matter which wire connects to what polarity.. all they do is complete a circuit.

then on the park/neutral switch, swap wires around until it looks like this (except i messed up. red/black, NOT yellow/black):



when i do the 5spd swap on nc90gxe's car i'm gonna make a definitive step by step writeup since although everyone always says "go search" or "look at the writeup" frankly, the 5spd swap writeup i saw kinda sucked... hard.... phasta's was far far more useful.

 

alright thats awesome, thanks man. going to get that done and also wire up the other wires. tomorrow im going to work on the hydraulic clutch lines and the slave cylinder lines. for the clutch lines that go to the block what size do i need when i go to autozone?? i was thinking about using braided lines and getting new fittings to go with them i presume. thats necessary, right? also, for the slave cyl line what type of hose should i get?? thanks...

 

I just got my ride back from getting old parts out and new parts in lol in other words updated...but anyways... tonight i was wondering where would it max out at ive seen a few vids of people getting them all the way up to 125 GXE and 145 SE mine kicks back at 110 any reason why? really not a prob just wondering why it does that..
