6cyl-97maxima

OK so I found what I think is a 99 in a tow yard. But it could be a 2000 ( I didn't check the month on the sticker). I wanted the coil.packs but the rear bank was different, connector on top instead of side. Clips different also, they have green spring loaded ones.
Anyway I'm wondering if the following parts would work on my 97.
- Filler neck
- fuel pump
- authentic Nissan aluminum rims ( $80 for all four, good condition)
- front coils.
- exhaust system or parts of it.
- various sensors.like KS, crank/cam pos sensors

- body parts, like gassed door. Would love to install the electric gas door opener.
- auto climate control
- control arms
- if it us a 2000 then I can. do.the 00vi mod with it's intake, right? Will I have to use that plastic UIM or would I be able to reuse my aluminum UIM. The plastic throws me off and will ruin the 4th Gen engine look

Yes

Not sure

Is the yes based upon that it's a 99. And not a 2000, or yes for both years? See I can't tell if its a 99 or a 2000 what ate some dead giveaways that would help me narrow it down to whether the cars a 99 or 2000. With way I'm going to call the Guy tomorrow and tell him to pull it out of the snow so I can start picking. Its too bad the coils wont work as he is offering me a good deal. Any 99 org. Members want me to grab them for you?

A 2000 is an entirely different generation/design of the Maxima. 4th gen (A32) was until the 1999 model year.

Well it had to 3.0 and it just slightly different. Like the upper intake manifold was plastic of some sort, and the rear bank coil packs were different. The rear coils were different, they'er plugged in at the top instead of the side. The rear end of the car had the license plate on the trunk. See when I check the sticker I just looked at the year it said 99 but that could have been 99 at the very end of the production year. IDK. It looks like a 4th gen but slightly changed up a bit. Intake is a little different. I'm starting to think its a 5th Gen?

Well on going to get those rims anyway. anyway. I think they will look nice. Are the o2's different in anyway/ what about the intake is it an 00vi or is that only on the vq35.

I'm confused. Are you saying you think the 4th gen body style and the 5th gen body style are so similar that you can't tell the difference easily?

It's a 2000, therefore it's a 5th gen. Period.

Before you grab the intake manifold, aka 00VI swap, you need to educate yourself on all the associated parts that go along with the swap. And how to do it, you may change your mind after you read up.

I don't know, I haven't seen many 99 or 2000's it looked similar, as I stated before the license plate iS on the the trunk and the maxima badge was on the drivers side of the trunk, tails and Hood looked different. But the Guy thought it was a 99 so... bit.now I know it is a 2000.

Thanks wizard, I wasn't sure if they changed up the style a bit on the 99's or not. The sticker on the door said 99, the Guy with the wrecking yard said it was a 99. I know, I know, I should of knowen right off the bat that it was a 2000.
So a good rim score anyway. Thanks for the links about the 00vi mod.
