you are talking about the CALIPER ADAPTER PLATE. you can thank colombianmax for confusing EVERYONE about that, cuz he never bothered to fix the captions in his pictures. i've posted the CORRECT names (and info for people with ANY year 3g maxima, not just 91-94) and it gets ignored/forgotten every damn time, so here it is again:
89-90 caliper adapter plate (which colombianmax CALLED a 'torque member' cuz he didn't read the FSM before posting)
91-94 TORQUE MEMBERS, pads, calipers, ebrake cables (however, if you're swapping from an already-disc 89-90 to the z31 bbk, you can swap the hooks that the ebrake cable attaches to, and keep the original 89-90 ebrake cables)
86 z31 rotors
NO other combination of parts will work.
up front, stockers won't fit the a33b mod without profoundly thick spacers. tried gxe and se wheels after i got the brakes on, neither would even sit flush onto the hub.

Brake on b Lights
When I put on brakes in my my 1990 maxima, the lights don't all light up. It's half and half. The outside bulb on the driver side comes on and the inside bulb on the passenger side comes on. The other two don't light up. When I turn the headlights on the all light up but when I press on the brakes, they go off again. I checked the bulbs and they're fine. Any Ideas? I've seen other maximas driving around like this too. Is it a common problem for these cars?

well it's not my fault half the members on this site are retards. i might have a set of the adapter plates tho, it depends if i part out my other car or not (it's an 89).

nonono you have it all wrong. Call me 'Wookiee Goldberg'
It's mainly a matter of finances and repair-parts cost/availability. It needs a hood, fender, headlights, corner lights, grille, radiator, front core support, and a/c condensor..... and given my plans to buy a Z31 i really don't need 3 cars and don't feel like dumping $700 into fixing the white one (cuz it's not in that great shape anyhow)

rear disc brake
Hi there, new guy here, my question is I have a 1990 maxima with rear drum brakes.I'd like to install a disc brake system. Has anyone done a conversion,and what year model maxima's can I get the parts off of in the wrecking yards?
Thank you
Ezra

Hey guys new guy here with another newb question I drive an 86 nissan s12 and one of the mods is using either an n60 maxima maf or the n62 300zxtt maf well I got my hands on the n60 maf from what I was told was a 94 but not sure. What I need to know is what wire does what so my install of this will go smoother than me just guessing lol
ok
white= 12v constant (I was told)
Black= ground
orange=????
black and white=????
here are some pics of the maf so you can see what I'm working with...
![](http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s256/RaveRacer07/n60maf.jpg)
The pic is kinda blurry sorry but the numbers read
2268016v00 a36-000 n60 8x19l Not sure if that helps or not

any 3rd gen (89-94) maxima that is either an SE or has ABS will be rear disc. 89-91 is one rear disc setup, 92-94 is another. to keep looking up parts simple I would suggest staying with 89-91. You will need the complete rear strut housing for the swap.
If you want to go beyond stock then do a search on Z31 BBK
If you want to go beyond stock then do a search on Z31 BBK
anyhow, i disagree with your suggestion.
if you just want stock disc brakes, go with the 91-94, cuz the pads and caliper are bigger. ONLY get the 89-90 setup if you plan to upgrade to the z31 rotor (1.1" larger than the maxima rotor), because it's easier to find the 91-94 stuff you need (tqmember, caliper, pads, ebrake cables) later than it is to find the 89-90 part (adapter plate on strut housing) you need when completing the z31-rotor upgrade.

i've got a funny buzzer noise that i've never had before when i put the keys in the ignition and start the car. The buzzer goes off immediately after the car starts, lasts about 3 secs, and then goes away completely. my car has sat w/ the battery off since april, and i have no idea what the buzzer is for, i've never heard the car make any noise similar to it.

hey everybody, noob here, i've got a 90 maxima , with an ignition problem , got in the car one day & it wouldnt start , did some checking & found i had no spark, after some testing i found the ign. module (transistor) no good, so i replaced it , started the car , let it run for about 2 minutes , shut it off , whent to start it agian , no spark agian , replaced ign. module agian (i tested it before putting it in , its good ), crank the car , no start, checked the new module , NO GOOD, something is frying this thing,i checked the wiring , i got a 12v power & ground , but the signal from the ecm is 12v , should the be 12v or should it be a 5v signal , i've got another module , but i dont want to put this one in & fry it too.......... anybody have any ideas ?

his car is a 1990. when he (or the next owner)goes in looking for parts they will be asking for parts for a 1990, not a 1992. It just causes confusion when buying parts. It's one thing to do a whole brake upgrade with "mismatched" parts. Typically you'll realize the difference before you have the car in pieces and are wondering why nothing matches. when it is just stock, things look similar enough to cause forgetfulness until the car is in pieces.

the hoses, no. The metal lines, yes. The ABS unit is in the right front of the car. A non-ABS car has the lines coming from the master cylinder.

So I got my 92 se five speed last week. (Pics coming soon I promise. The interior is really clean). 140, new alt, brakes, hoses, ball joints, arms. Seller told me I probably need a new muffler, and there's a small oil leak. He says it's probably due to a worn out crank seal. I'm going to take it to my local mechanic this weekend.
I decided to take this baby for a spin and noticed a few problems and would love a veteran 3rd Gen owner to help me out.
After starting the car, I can hear a high pitch grinding noise from the engine. Is it probably due to a bad VTC?
It's hard to shift to third gear sometimes. Anyone else have that same problem?
And finally,(this one puzzles me the most). I'd say one in about 25 times, when I shift it to third, the engine mysteriously dies, and I have to roll it to the the side of the road on neutral and wait for it to come to a complete stop and start it again. Any reasons on that?
Thanks for reading this long post, I know I'm a newb, so please take me lightly. Thanks again and God Bless!

as for hard to go into third, is the tranny loud as in you can hear the tranny over your (bad) muffler or to the point that you know that growling sound isn't a good one I would say Input Shaft Bearing and all three of my trannys hated third gear but the oe i have now just hates down shifting to it
That the best i can do sure some of the guys will chime in here and help you with the stalling issue and their thought on what i have said good luck and welcome to the forum

check the resistance of the injectors with an ohm/multimemter, just touch the positive/negative tips of the tester to each male pole on the injector. if good they will read between 11-14 ohms, anything other then that is a bad injector.
Also, be sure their is no corrosion(greenish looking dust) on the injectors poles and inside the wire harness connectors on the injectors. if you find corrosion, use some eletrical parts cleaner spray and a small wire brush to clean the corrosion off.

I'm having transmission issues on my 93 GXE. Reverse and first seem to work fine. If I leave thte OD switch engaged, when it shifts out of first it's like your in neutral. If I disengage the OD, it will shift into second at about 4500 rpm and stay engaged. I assume I'm looking at a rebuild, but wanted to get more input in case it is something simple.
