First question to ask is user is sure the car is EQUIPPED with keyless enrty. Some base models may not be equipped. My two 4th gens werent.

 

See Sig.

 

Not really sure why u wouldnt get a new rack. But all maxis have torque steer. A new rack shd have reduced this. What other symptoms u experience related to steering???

 

150 bucks for everthin

 

Codes??

could be coils, plugs, or MAF. Need more info

 

Since he is able to shift in every other gear i am inclined to believe he has now lost reverse. He can try to adjust the clutch pedal but i highly doubt that is his problem

 

If I get mevi in tandem with jwt ecu upgrade, will that fix the low end power loss that that the mevi is infamous for?

 

was wondering if i should buy this car

1996 Infiniti I30
66,xxx miles
$3,600
The car itself is very clean inside and out.

Is this a good deal?

 

as a 4th gen, it sounds horrible (the i30 section is elsewhere )
sounds a little high for a 14+ year old car.
here, in Okc, that price would only be paid for a mint (I mean, 100% perfect) example, but price would be dependent on your area, and if you are buying at a great dealership with a great reputation for great service (I personally have never seen one)

i live in philadelphia

the car is probably considered good condition. there are no mechanical problems, and the only cosmetic problem is a scuff on the rear bumber. looks garage kept and the interior still looks brand new.

gonna go look at it again tomorrow and decide whether to get it, thanks for your reply

 

Where is the starter relay on a 1991 nissan maxima v6 manual transmission?

 

something shorted out in my electrical system. I found a 140 amp fuse was blown and replaced it..i also replaced the battery and now nothing works including any lights. i turn the key and there is no clicking. oh and its a 95

 

did you think of looking for the short?! lol, if it blew a fuse, it should be related to that system... so look through that system and find your short. you cant just replace a fuse and expect it to be fixed... those fuses are there for a reason! prevent catastrophic failure!

 

When selecting a 3.5 for a swap, what do i look for? Does the year make a difference? How about max vs I35?
*****edit***** okay i searched and found that the 02-03 are the most popular!

 

hey guys will this rims fit a 95 gle

 

Yup, you're good to go. In the future, you can check the G35 wheel sticky in the wheel forums

 

I fawkin wd! thats a dope deal

 

if it were a manual id trade my 98 for it.

If its not a manual its perhaps too expensive. The mileage is really low and some people like that( I see it as a sign the car broke down a lot)

 

Hi Everyone. I really like this site - thank you. I am interested in the idea of developing a substitute ECU for the Maxima. A side-project would be a Maxima-simulator device: plug an ECU into the simulator and it thinks it's driving down the road, not sitting on your desk...

I'm primarily focused on a32 4th gen Maxima, but the project could expand. The 4th gen seems a good place to start because of issues of cost, complexity, and availability (I own 2 and would consider trying to grab another at auction as my testing guinea pig).

I'm not interested in simple performance tweaks/tricks (JET, etc.), although that's a great starting point. Instead, I want to learn everything about the car's control software, and prove this knowledge by building a substitute ECU.

Architecture-wise, I am thinking:32-bit processor with tons of memory and I/O capacity, running Linux. All Open-Source software (probably all written in C).

This is a fairly large project and it would be a part-time hobby effort. Right now I am scoping the effort. This would move along more quickly if I could reverse-engineer the stock ECU as much as possible. To do this I need as much "inside" information about the ECU hardware and software as I can find. I have only found a little bit so far.

If you have any information, tips, or recommendations (books, sites, downloads, etc.), please advise. Also, If you know of any similar efforts underway, please let me know about them. And if you would be interested in working on this, let me know.

No scrap of info is too small.

Thank you.
-Mike

 

I bought a Pioneer AVIC-U310BT and the proper wire harness and everything works except I'm not getting any sound... I don't know what else to try. Please help??

 

I am replacing the clutch on my 97 maxima se. I was wondering if i needed to resurface the flywheel. It was slipping bad before and it looks heat scored

 

Hello everyone. Currently I am not a Maxima owner yet. Tomorrow, I am planning on getting a 95 for $400.00. The car has a possible bad fuel pump, or something else fuel related. I've been browsing around here, looking at what everyone has done to their cars, and wondering if this is something I can build upon?

 

Hi. The service manual says you can repair the flywheel with emery cloth, as long as the runout stays in spec (<0.15mm). If it looks as bad as you say, I bet the runout exceeds spec anyway. In general I don't like the idea of resurfacing; it seems "penny-wise pound-foolish". If it were me and I had everything apart, I would just replace it. Check rock auto; it's about $75.

 

Hi. I am not sure what you are asking. If the question is about the fuel problem, I would follow the usual troubleshooting, making sure it's not electrical or filter related before condemning the fuel pump. If the question is about the car in general, I would say $400 sounds like a pretty good deal (don't know the mileage). There's always some unknown risk, but in my opinion the Maxima has a pretty solid drive train and the VQ30DE is one of the best engines ever made. So for $400 and a little repair you've got a good platform to start your mods...

 

Hello everyone,

I have a problem on my 96 GLE with water leaking on the passenger floor when using AC or Defrost.

I know that topic has been covered numerous times in the threads, but here is my question:

I do not have money to fix this right now, if I remove the AC fuse, will the carpet stay dry even if I use the defrost?

 

not likely

theres no water in the ac system. is it coolant leaking out? what you PROBABLY have is a bad heater core. your quick fix is to get a bypass. very cheap

Is your coolant very low now?

Look up heater core in the field service manual.

 

The answer is "yes". The "leak" is condensation from ambient air being cooled and shedding moisture. Stop the AC compressor from running (by pulling the fuse), then and the evaporator doesn't get cold, then the air doesn't get chilled and shed moisture, then the drip goes away.

 

It is water leaking, I think its my condenser or evaporator that is leaking, the drain is not clogged. I am willing to sacrifice AC to have a dry floor, but I defenitely will need defrost.....

 

Now that the AC fuse is removed, the blower works, but there is no way to switch the vents from feet to face to defrost, heat does not seem to work.

Guess it's not the best option, gonna have to pay the price and get it fixed.... Wonder how much the whole thing is gonna cost me.

I just dont want the carpet to smell like s**t before i get it fixed.

 

well right when you turn the key you should hear the fuel pump prime. so like right as the key turn to on, not start, you should hear it building up pressure.

if it doesnt its dead probably. you can look up its location within the tank in the field service manual and try to bang it to life.

this part is not that expensive new from an auto parts store.

It is not that difficult to take out either.

before you start you will need to invest in a fuel pressure guage.

this is because a lack of fuel pressure can be difficult to diagnose. the fuel pump could be working but not well enough.

ya youre gonna have a tough time diagnosing that possible fuel problem just like previous owners did but youll learn a lot

i like that color that was the same color my g20 was. it had a messed up finish like that too, i have a feeling that nissan burgundy just isnt that durable.

 

i wonder if he bought that i wanted to see it.

 

ooooo ok i cannot understand how your condensor leaks water to the bottom of your floor seeing as they are seperated by about 4 feet.

I know the condensor can leak water, mine does in my i30.
More so than any car Ive owned and ive owned 20. It works very well though. the truth is theres almost nothing different between a i30 and a maxima but the air conditioning system happens to have different components so it could be set up differently.

but its a long way from the inside of my car.... theres no like way for it to travel into the car its several feet away.

i cannot understand your problem.

I once had a isuzu that leaked coolant to the floor because the heater core was in the dashboard.

so I could only see your problem being that.

 

where is the water leaking from? what is going through the dash except air?

this doesnt make sense to me sorry. the ducts are plastic, they arent getting cold.

maybe theres a leak in the ducts that rain is getting into?

The whole thing I want to see is if turning off the ac even stops the water from dripping in. are you getting water in hot days only? there is no cold component to develop condensation over your cars floor. Ive never seen that happen

 

I am far from begin a specialist, but the carpet stays dry if i do not use AC or Defrost.

There is a crack in the black box right under glove box. Could be evaporator, condenser, hey im not a mechanic.

And it is water leaking .... Not coolant

 

so i finally just got rims on my car. i had bought them off a buddy for 50 bucks because they were in really bad shape. i took the time sanded them down and repainted and now they look great! the only problem is there is no brand/make/product number on them and they are without center caps. i was wondering if there was a way i could snag infiniti center caps and put them on if center caps are somewhat universal or what? or if there is some sort of DIY for cheap covers haha.

thanks!

im trying to figure out what the previous person was thinking when they said to take the ac fuse out....

theres water getting into your ac ducts and blowing the thing is making it reach your floor...

I cant really tell whether the water is coming from the ac pipes themselves. it can come from rain and just be sitting there.

However, if you wanted the ac to turn off and stop getting cold you could also just press the low release valve it should be blue and let teh coolant out.

 

I am the one who thought of removing the fuse, which I did. At least I can use defrost without getting my carpet wet. Im wondering what is broken though, will let you know when i go to garage next week.

 

im new here and need all the help i can get, i have a 99 maxima se, about a week ago the car wudnt start, bought a new battery AND alternator it started easily for about a day and had problems after that. i got a tune-up afterwards n bought a new coil as well. now when i try to start it i dont hear anythin at all, the lights on the dash all come on but the windows wont even roll up n the radio wont come on either, the horn has a higher pitch than normal. before the recent power shortage i was convinced it might be the starter but now im completely clueless. HELP

 

Hi, I am new and have searched alot on this topic but wasn't able to find the right answer. How do i convert my 1996 maxima front to that of an infiniti i30's? Thanks

 

that is a bit weird

id look for the big fuse i think its an 80 amp one underneath the hood
theres two big fuse things. pull out the big one and look at it.

you may have blown several smaller fuses though, for the windows radio etc.

underneath the drivers side inside the car.

sounds like fuses though locate the three main places where there are fuses and check them out
