1) The shocks that hold my hood up are blown. Autozone has them for 19.99 but can't get a hold of them because the "distributor" is out of them. The Nissan dealership wants 100 dollars for them! Ha! Anyone know where to get some?

2) What does one do with the sensor that was initially attached to the entry point of the stock intake system? Mines just dangles and is not connected to anything. I wonder if this is bad?

3) I have an HKS intake and HKS says to replace it every time you change your oil. NOPI tells me just to clean in. How exactly should I go about this? I used some hot water last time but I don't think it was cleaned good enough.

4) How bad is going thru 1, 2, and D as you drive? I usually manually upshift but I do not downshift. It feels like downshifting would be worse that shifting up manually on an automatic.

5) My GLE has a stock alarm/keyless entry system and drops all 4 windows from a distance when unlocked. I bought it used and I don't have a remote. I belive Nissan wanted a few hundred dollars for the damn thing. Any hints?

6) Where can I purchace clear/red outer tailights for my Max?

7) Last but not least, what are the +s and -s from adding Eibach lowering spring and keeping stock rims, tires, and struts?

I know those are alot of questions but I thirst the knowledge. Thanks!

 

1. try other stores, those thing are cheap
2. leave it it's fine
3. ???
4. People say that manualy shifting in an auto does nothing bad and actually prolongs the life of the tranny
5. Mine only drops the front 2, go on ebay. I got mine for $20
6. Some guy sells them, but $200 NO THANKS do it yourself
7. ???

 

None of your questions were really '96 specific so your thread title was not really relavant.

4.) Don't manually shift in everyday driving!!!!!

5.) Only the front two windows roll down with the remote. You can find them around for ~$30. Try the sale section here, try e-bay, etc.
