Websites? Stores?

 

I like using Rockauto, PartsGeek, for my older Maxima(s)/Nissans.....They work and save quit a bit of $$$ Moola....There's Courtesy and ABC Nissan that I use for things more important to me than the parts found @ Rockauto and PartsGeek....

 

rockauto is my best friend

 

rockauto. Ebay is HIT OR MISS...

 

neither rockpluto or ebay. autopartswarehouse.com sometimes. irp for brakes and upgrades, they have a link in the parts section and do group deal prices when you tell them your calling from the org. ask for mike when calling irp

 

im looking up coil packs for my 96 i30 and on rock auto how do i know which coil pack is oem? since they are all branded?

 

asking cuz I was planning on doing a complete tune up on my car and just wanted to know which parts and brand i should buy

 

If its not broke dont fix it. Get some NGK brand spark plugs from any automotive store, replace your fuel filter, air filter, and run some injector cleaner in your next fill up at the gas station. Maybe even seafoam your intake manifold, as well as clean your tb and iacv if you want it spic and span.

You shouldnt replace the coils unless you have a misfire, and have confirmed its the coil at fault and not a plug/wiring/injector. If you have a misfire your coils are good, plain and simple.

However, barring all that, you may wish to check the 4th gen classifieds and look for used coils there. Generally you can find them for a huge discount there for basically top quality.

 

 

How do you clean tb and iacv?

 

The fourth sticky thread down in this forum contains many helpful links for performing maintenance on the MAX
