2. the car has 74k miles, whats all the maintnence that i should do...oil obvously, tranny fluid etc...and whats the spark plug size and good place to order parts like that from?
3. im planning on the nitto 450 size 225/50/17 ($112 each) but are there any other good tires avalible in that size at a reasonalbe price anywhere?
4. anything in general i should know about the 2k maxima? thanx.

I have the same car. Sterling Mist on mine. Right now I'm running OSCAI, but I havn't piped it right yet. As for tires I just bought a set of Yokohama AVS ES100. They only cost 112 at TireRack.com, I love these tires alot, they grip really well. They only last around 15-25k depending on how you drive though. Watch out for spark plugs and coils. I just had to replace both of mine and my car is at the same mileage as yours. Hope some of this helps. Any other questions you can just PM me. Though I don't know nearly as much as most ppl on this forum.

1. Berk Intake - cheap, awesome quality, great customer service, fantastic performance - check out the groupdeal forum and hop on it SOON!
2. You can get a set of the OEM plugs (which are NGK's) for ~$60 or so - I would check the coils as well, if it's used you can question the previous owner, or dealership if the coils had been replaced (if a check engine light was thrown), if not, it's $300, change them with your plugs.
3. Think about the Falken Ziex 512's - they seem to be very very popular for the 17's, and also on backorder everywhere, but for the price, it's real tough to beat their perforamce - check the wheel/tire fourm for some good hands on reviews.
4. It's a great car, I own one and love driving it every time I sit down in it, whether it's down the street to Wawa for an iced tea or to center city for a night out, or a for a long road trip, never once have i cursed the car.....throwing on a ton of mods in April/May which should address performance and handling in a major way - however, if you can get a 2k2/2k3, the engine throws out a handful more ponies - if you can, test drive them both!

In general you should know that you will:
1. Be replacing the coil packs at a tune of $300-$400 (if you install)
2. Replace the MAF sensor at a tune of $275
3. Possibly the TCM and the selanoid valve assembly for a mere $1,200- ? if not already changed under warranty.
4. You'll be replacing the rotors or having them turned quite frequently depending on how you drive.
I have a 2000 that I bought new and these are all the "known" problems with them. Oh..... you also get Nissan's award winning customer service, or what I like to call disservice.

seriously though, yes these are things that will pop up.
1. I have Stillen intake so get Stillen 
2. Replacing tranny fluid or spark plug you can do them at home. I order my spark plugs from sparkplugs.com
3. Nitto 450s are good summer tires. I love Nitto because they are tough. Low profile tires that I've hit hundreds of deep potholes and bumps and still held up fine.
4. I recommend taking the car to a mechanic for thorough inspection.

1. The berk seems to yield nice gains. I currently have a stillen intake right now but I also had a ghetto intake with a 3" PVC down pipe attached to the scoop which was much throatier.
2.
3. Whatever you do, don't let some facker get you to buy some Goodyear GA's at Big O Tires
4. Since ur thinking about an intake... look into getting a y-pipe... I just isntalled one and its well worth it!

im paying $11,200 for the car, and this pretty much drains me of any more money...
how will i know if the coils will have to be changed?
and what is the TCM and the selanoid valve assembly?
by the way to answer the question it has all the potions, leather heated seats, sun roof, climate control and the 17s, etc.
thanx a lot for all the feedback, i hope the tune up and all the stuff wont run me more than $1200 with tires. im probly gonna get the nitto 450, i have 555 on my mustang and they are awesome.

3. In stock size (225/17) I like my Falken Ziex 512's...great in rain and dry, comfortable ride, look good, and are about the same price as the Nitto's..
4. 2k maxima rules!

I think the MAF problems are a little overblown - there are alot of guys on the org, plus other 5th gen owners I know personally that have never blown a MAF (some have had their 2k max since late '99)
4. This is true... and is the one problem that I can say probably affects most or all 2k-2k1 maxima owners. Coming soon - conversion kit to use 2k4 rotors with our stock rims and calipers!!!
Also - I have taken my maxima to 3 different dealers (including where I bought it) and have always have excellent service. Nobody posts here about good service, they only post when they want to *****....

You missed one! ECU REPROGRAM $150
...and don't forget -
periodically, you might have to wash the car, vacuum the interior, and put air in the tires.....
what's up with everyone trying to talk the guy out of buying a maxima? say something good about the car. If something goes wrong, then worry about it. All cars will have problems, but to say that every maxima will require MAF, Coils, ECU reprogram, etc...is a bit of a stretch.
HEY SUPER6 - Here's what you should know about maximas:
1. great car
2. buy a RSB - the single best improvement you can make outside of a turbo/sc!
3. if something breaks - get it fixed. If not - don't worry about it.
4. by the way - the reason I suspect people on the org have more problems than others is that most people on the .org have several mods in the engine, suspension, etc... obviously, the more you take the car away from the way it was DESIGNED, the more likely you are to have problems with things (i.e MAF more likely to blow with aftermarket intake than stock air box, etc..)
enjoy your car and worry about problems when or IF they ever pop up. peace.

That $110 for the MAF depends on whether or not you have the updated software.Or at least thats what my dealership told me. If you don't the updated software, the dealership charges for that, Mine was $275 with the new MAF. I'm glad to hear that you have had excellant service, I wish I could say the same. I can show you countless service tickets and all of the Sh*t I've been through. I know not everyone has had the problems that I have had, but its funny how Nissan handles all of these "known" problems and avoids fixing them until the car is out of warranty. An they all have their designated responses to your problems. Its like they're reading cue cards or something. I'm not b*tching, I'm being honest. If someone would have told me what I know now, I can assure you I would have not bought a Nissan. I think you said it best when you said that you carry a spare MAF in your trunk. A dependable car doesn't need a part store in the trunk.

My car is completely stock, except for the wheels. The only Mod I ever did was a drop in K&N filter. Nissan complained about that until I took it out and bought there oil impregnated paper filter. I guess those are less likely to cause problems with the MAF than the oil impregnated K&N filter.

The reason i carry the spare? When I first got the max I came on the .org and it sounded like everyone who has ever owned 5th gen had blown a MAF...which after reading here more and knowing several friends who have 5th gen maxes....doesn't seem to be all that true. Also, I have an intake, which increases the chances of blown MAF it seems (and also makes it so I can't take the car in for warranty MAF replacement w/out reinstalling the stock airbox...). Third, the local dealers are usually very busy and i can't be without a car for more than a day, so I can spare $100 for the convenience of not having to go to a dealer. I don't expect the MAF to blow, but now I don't have to worry about it...
As to dealers, I think it's just like any car company - the dealers are independently owned, so service will vary between them.,..most people on here won't say "wow, my dealer was great today!"...so all we hear is of bad experiences...
So - is the maxima perfect? no way! But, if reliability was my #1 goal over all else, I would have bought a Lexus or a Honda!!!!
Hehe I carry at least 10 spare parts in the trunk of my triumph gt6. Have never had to use any of them in over 10 years of driving it!
Well, just saying - it's the luck of the draw. Maximas are better reliability than some cars, and not as good as others. There are a million TSBs and problems with almost every new car these days - it was alot simpler when you just had 6 cylinders, 2 carburetors, a coil, and manual choke!!!!!!

Rear Sway Bar - this will make a HUGE difference in the handling of your car, and it's pretty easy and inexpensive. The best bang for the buck of any mod you can make, if you ask me.
Several good ones are made:
Stillen: easy to install, looks nice, a bit $$
Addco/Progress/Cattman: pretty much all the same, a little more work to put in and adjust, but about half the cost of Stillen
A few other knock-offs are around as well
You can't go wrong with any of them - it's the single most noticeable mod you can do for a couple hundred bucks!

Sw33t! I was gonna make this thread myself, but I was beat to it ^_^
Okie.... Couple of things I want to know.... What is that kick-**** dark grey colour called? I want my car to be THAT colour... Nothing else will do.
300ZX engine-swap - Is it doable/wise? From what it displaces, I'd figure that it would be doable, if not is the RB25DET swappable in there? If not, what's the turbo vs. supercharger deal w/ the maxima? Most places I've seen selling an s/c which is much more common with large v6 engines such as this one, but I've heard talk of a turbo from some and those tend to run higher boost which makes me think happy thoughts ^_^
Another thing that is a big deal to me are the HIDs. I saw someone with really crazy looking ones, which were probably taken out of a 03. I noticed that there are FAQs on them, but most of them happen to be down. My car won't be coming along for awhile, I'm expecting it in september @_@ but I still want to know if that can be done.
Oh, one more thing... I found FAQs on the chrome rings for the dash, but, I don't recall them saying WHERE you can get chrome rings to put in
BAAH!! One last thing... what about the 2k2-2k3? Is it worth paying almost double that of a 2k?

ye rear sawy bar does help a lot, my freind had it on a 626 and it was a big diff, but that one was only like 40 buks, what could be a few hundred about it?
and i already got the front strut bar, before i have the car itself, i got one of those cheap ebay ones, just out of boredom last week.
i got a front tower brace on my stang, i dont think the front bars bo much for handling but help out the steering responce a lot!
i cant wait to get the car already hopefully by the end of this week ive been waiting like 3 weeks already! im just planning to do all the maintnence and tires for now, ill see how much that costs me n just tints after that probly.
than a lot irish44j lots of good info.
