Part suppliers?
I am new to Nissan Maxima. I need a list of good and bad experiences of what to choose or to stay the hell away from when it comes to suppliers.
I need to get a new set of coil packs and its time to have a electric sensor overhaul and all associated fuses and relays... Reasonable and reliable without breaking the bank. Links would be appreciated...
Thanks.

What is the reason for an electrical "sensor overhaul?" There is no benefit to replacing fuses & relays if they're working fine.
For coils, you want to stick with OEM... either new from the dealer, or used from a junkyard. Check the 4th gen classifieds section, I recall seeing a full set a while ago.

Father-in-law gave me the car...
He never took car of the car so I am making it like new to be sure there are no issues with electrical and such. I need suspension. The car has over 300k miles on it. Its not starting. I know it needs a starter switch so I ordered that. possibly replace the knock switch??? and a few other sensors.

Copy of the FSM in my sig to help you in your endeavors.
Amazon can have good prices on car parts believe it or not, rockauto, even ebay.
Just remember to shop around and you typically get what you pay for so don't cheap out.
I recommend OEM only for sensors/coilpacks and on a budget I would just go to the junkyard and grab a bunch for cheap.
No need to replace what's not broken though.
My guess would be you just need to clean the IACV, TB, replace the fuel filter, spark plugs with NGK, FPR and check your valve covers and PCV.
After that, just drain and fill your fluids, make sure your air filter is clean and

The aftermarket part supplier that I prefer is BWD or SMP Intermotor brand by Federal Mogul. The Intermotor and top shelf Federal Mogul brands will cost almost as much as OEM. The reason is Federal Mogul is a Nissan/Infiniti Just-In-Time manufacturing parts supplier. If I can get a decent price on Intermotor parts then I'm usually swayed in that direction especially on weekends.
