Since people with less than 15 posts cannot start their own thread, but MIGHT have a legitimate question, I am opening another thread for noobie questions.
First off, I will answer a few general questions:
Q: Why can't I start a new thread?
A: http://forums.maxima.org/oldthread.php?t=413179
Q: Why can't I search maxima.org?
A: You can't see the search button dummy.
With that out of the way...
This thread is for the new members so that they are able to post a LEGITIMATE question. It can be ANYTHING that is 4th generation related and NOT covered in the existing sticky threads. If we think it is important, we will either answer or make it into its own thread. If not, I will delete it.
This is only for LEGIT 4th Gen questions that may be specific to one user.
SPAM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
This is for noobs only and will be open only as long as I feel like maintaining it.
ALL RESPONSES MUST BE A QUOTE OF THE ORIGINAL QUESTION!
New questions, obviously, need not have any quotes.
Postwhoring will not be tolerated!
-If you get an answer to your question, please move along.
-If you have a followup, by all means, post it.
-No posts to say "Thanks!" (We don't need 10,000 posts thanking someone for helping them out.)
-No posting "I want to know that, too."
-Incorrect answers or answers that are just plain annoying will be removed.
All of these will be deleted. If it gets bad enough, I will just ban you.
Here are some links that will also be helpful:

All other sticky threads have answers to common questions, information about common modifications, and other generally good info. I took a week and re-organized it. I did not do this for my own benefit- I don't even OWN a 4th gen.
One more reminder: THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SEARCHING!!!

I can’t find any headers for my 4th gen maxima

i just recently joined this forum because I have decided on possibly building my 4th gen maxima. I talked to a couple friends and looked at a couple threads and I came to a conclusion that I should buy some headers and a couple other exhaust upgrades. Problem is i can’t find anyone selling headers that can fit my car. Does anyone know any sellers that I could buy from?

I know there were threads on water pumps and how to replace them, but I didn't see anyone with my same issue. If this has been addressed, can you tell me where so I can see what was done to solve it. I have a 95 Nissan Maxima with less than 100,000 miles that started dripping water. I replaced the water pump with a new one, added water to make sure it didn't leak (it didn't) then buttoned it all back up, but when I started the car, it mixed water in my oil. So I took it all apart again. I thought maybe it was because I forgot to clean the internal area where the water pump sat. Got it all back together again, started it and water in the oil. I figured bad water pump from the factory. Since it is almost winter, and I do not have a garage, I just decided to put the old one back with new seals until spring when I have nicer weather to work with. Got it all back together a 3rd time and water in the oil AGAIN after start. The car was never ran hot and it didnt have water in the oil before I started this whole project so Im pretty certain it is not the head gasket or bad motor. What am I missing?

5 Codes but the car drives just fine.
I have a 1997 Nissan Maxima SE that is showing five different codes, those being P0440, P0136, P0443, P0446 and P1447. I’ve done a bit of research on each code but I’m not exactly mechanically inclined so it all sounds like gibberish to me. My primary concern is if I’m going to have to put down a wad of money for a bunch of different parts to fix it or if it’s just one small thing causing the car to have a stroke. It’s my wife’s car and she always complains about it shutting off but every time I’ve driven it, even long distances, I’ve never had an issue. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like a lot of evap related error codes, and one 02 sensor code

Hey guys,
I am currently in the process of removing my engine so that i can replace the head gaskets along with all the other significant gaskets. I was just now working on the CV axles and was directed to a video from autozone where they redid the cvs and he said to never remove both cv axles at the same time, as you might cause gears to come loose inside the trans. If I cannot remove the cv axles, how do I get the engine and trans out? I'm at a bit of a loss here.
Any help is more than appreciated as this is a bit urgent.
