Ok I have recently come into a decent sum of money and I have been picking parts for my Max. However, before I start on modifications I want to do some exstensive maitenance work. I want to replace nearly everything short of rebuilding the engine (not really in a situation where that will be easy). I so far plan to replace the coils, plugs, hoses, belts, KS, 02s, Starter, Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, Air Filter (Intake), Brake Lines, Fluids, Every mount I can find, Oil, Tranny is going to be rebuilt (out of necessity), and anything else the rest of the orgers can recommend. This will be my first (hopefully more will follow) maxima builds. So what has a tendency to brake? What always goes south when it is inconvenient? I want to do this right so I will take any recomendations, you all probally know more about Maximas than I do.

hello, anybody?

hello.

Before I can address your questions, I have a few:

Why are you doing all of this work? What is your ultimate goal? Turn your old car into a new one?

My ultimate goal is to somehow make a fast maxima (still working on that). However, currently I need it to be reliable which it hasnt in the past (clutch issues) because I am selling my other forms of transportation. I have money so I want to replace everything I deem needs to be replaced after 250,000 miles. It has been sitting for 6 months too. So I am going to have to at least check belts, dump fluids, drain and pump the tank, flush injectors, etc..

Well, if you want to go all-out, I'd get a Haynes book and start going through the 'inspection' sections. Inspect the whole car from bumper to bumper.

It'll take you a while (maybe a solid week for a thorough job), but it's the best way to make sure absolutely everything is 100%

Does anyone have a list of what the dealers inspect when they do their XXX-point inspection? I'd imagine they have a checklist that they fill out; it'd be cool to get a copy of it.

It is a 95 no idea what trim level, my insurance company calls it a SE/GLE/GXE and the local nissan dealer said it didnt exist when I went to get a key cut (long story). ~250,000 miles, ran great when I got it, has had some serious clutch problems, like it ate 4 in 6000 miles. I got the run around from the dealer who did the work, they tried to tell me I had the "nissan high-output engine" and a heavy left foot. I told them to **** off and parked it. Worked on it, replaced brakes and did some audio work. Then ran out of money because of family problems. So it sat for 6 months but now it is about to be revived. I have money so I am replacing and checking and cleaning everything before I start on performance mods.

Oh I checked compression the week after I bought it. I can remember what it was I think like 150 but I may have my cars confused. I do remember there was virtually no variance between cylinders.
