Cleaning out fuel lines and such

I am needing to assistance from you guys out there, to clean out the fuel rail and all points in between. I am going to purchase a new fuel filter for my 95 max. Would also like to know about purchasing some springs, struts and shocks.

Any ideas???

Thats a pretty vague thread but Ill help you out

-First off why replace the fuel rail, if it aint broke, dont fix it.
-Replacing the fuel filter is a little more practical and is very simple, any local autoparts store will carry it
-Last, suspension. Maximas handle like crap and have a very ugly wheel gap. This wheel gap and soft handeling can be eliminated with the purchase of lowering springs. I personally went with the tokico illuimna kit (springs + struts) and i have not installed them yet so i cant give u a review but i hear good things. If your stuts and shocks are in good condition u can just replace the springs with aftermaket ones and give your car a nice drop however you are going to sacrifice a comfortable rideover potholes however u will notice a more stiff, sprorty feel. I went with the happy medium by gettin adjustable struts (tokico illuminas) 5 way adjustable if u want a stiff sporty ride or a soft comfortable ride wrapped in the tokico illumina lowering springs. Anyway if u want to go all out and drop over a grand, go for the true adjustable coilovers. Anyway get whatever you are looking for in ur maxima.

the car would look sharp if I did drop the car down an inch all around. Just found out the strut bearing has gone bad. probably go to a junk yard for the springs. might have some luck, the bearing I will order.
More to come and thanks for your help NewEngSurf.

go to a real mechanic get a fuel injection service done. Not everything can be done by the owner.
