Me and my bro has a maxima each, with auto transmission...and we hit sport button, but the light in dash wont light up and tbh i cant feel any diffrence...


Is there like a security lock on sport?


I searched, but i didnt find anything..
and theres no car manual in my car

 

Best would be to take a look through the FSM, see what the system consists of, really. USDM Maximas didn't have a Sport/Econo option, so can't really be of help.

 

sport? or do u mean overdrove?

 

Happened to me too. Twist the shifter left and right and look for the light. Mine will come on some when I do that. I think the wire is loose or something.

 

What does the sport button do?

 

what year maximas do you and your bro have.?

 

oh i thought us,asian and european maximas had same transmission...

You can see it on my signature,my bro has 2.0 liter from 1998 while i have 3.0 from 1995...
Exact same transmission tho..

I have to ask in I30 forum then, can a mod or admin move it, or do i have to start a new thread there?


Im not sure exactly what sport does, so i rly would like to make it work...and i dont mean overdrive..

And i have no manual FSM or anything

 

A 2.0L maxima? Whaa?

 

there is no sport button... and there are no 2.0L 4th gens.

 

Wrong. And wrong again.

There were a lot of other options on overseas Cefiro's and Maxima's. And they offered them with 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0 L engines...

 

lol telling me that my and my bro cars dont exist?

Their called Maxima QX which is european versions

 

We don't have that option here in the US..

I would assume the shifts would be faster but I doubt it. Try to find an international FSM and see what it is suppose to do, or look in your owners manual

 

the maxima aint that popular between teenagers in norway onlyrich ppl used to afford them lol...

Theres only1 forum there,so i just asked

doesnt any I30 have those options? I30 is the closest to european maxima..

 

ignorant ignorant people, thinking america is all that exists...

Usually what sport buttons on an automatic do is set the shift points at higher rpms. Econ mode is for earlier shifts to keep the rpms down and save gas. Now I dont have a sport mode on my maxima so im not saying this for sure, but for other cars this is what happens most of the time. You arent going to 'feel' the power cause it doesnt cause any extra power. Just allows the car to rev higher between shifts.

My sport button is controlled by my left foot

 

thats right,i love econ<3 long trip savings^^

 

Ah yes, I remember the 2.0L QX... back then I never thought I'd have a max

 

I didn't say that maximas don't exist outside of America...it's a Japanese car...

I just never knew it came in 2.0L, as that's not really a lot power for a car of this size.

 

Damnit, I was gonna have my fun with this one.

 

lol i had fun reading it tho, limited knowledge at its best..

Theres a saying that I like, it goes like this:
Knowledge is power
