Well, I'm back. I finally picked up a new Maxima the other day and I can't quit grinning from ear to ear. I picked up a 2000 Charcoal SE Maxima. It's fully loaded with tan leather inerior, moonroof, heated seats and ........... 5 speed baby!!!!!! It has 91k on it and what feels like a brand new clutch. Also, had all ingnition coils replaced when it went through the dealerships inspection.
I'll post pics in a couple of days, just feeling kinda lazy. I'm still selling the 240sx if anyones interested.

 

Ok, here are some quick teaser pics.

 

Looks great, congrats... I've always liked the grey.

 

Hey, are there any free mods that can be done on the 5th gens. I've been searching around the faqs and such but haven't found anything. Thanks

 

From the How-Tos: http://home.insightbb.com/~dwh/GAB.htm

 

Not shabby at all. Nice pic, what's your first mod?

 

Timing advance could probably be considered a free mod... slip $20 cash to Nissan technician and your timing is set to 17 degrees

I'm cleaning my engine with Auto-rx, I will advance my timing as soon as i'm done with ARX treatments.

 

Ok, I can't seem to stay out of my new ride, so here are so more pics I ran down to Lowes and took under a street light.



And I will definately take a look at that site. Thanks

 

Its Grey Luster Bishes!! get it right!

Edit: best free mod I have found, AE the headlights!

 

I'm not sure if you noticed this when you bought it, but it has 2k2-2k3 SE wheels on it which is a plus in my book. Anyways, congrats on the nice ride, looks like its in great condition.

 

$20 /= "free"

Then again, according to economic theory, nothing is.

 

I know it is a newbie question but
What is good for timing advance ?

 

Can you school me on what the AE headlights are? Is that not Anniversary Edition????? How would I get those free?

Yeah, I do love the 2k2-2k3 wheels and it also has a K&N filter.

Also, my next door neighbor helps me with all automotive tasks and he has the OBII (I think thats what it is called) hand held tool. I can use this right???? Sorry, on the 94 SE you just had to adjust the camshaft position.

 

Use this write-up, but use PlastX instead of water to remove the chrome:

Thanks for the write-up, I was planning on working on my headlights anyway, since they seem to be scuffed real bad and real foggy looking. I might give this a try to, if I get enough nerve to put my headlights in the oven.

 

I was the same way. but it is really easy, I also re-finished mine.

the advantages of a more aggressive timing are quicker throttle responses, better fuel economy, and supposedly 10+ hp.

 

Better fuel economy????? I didn't realize this was a result.

 

No one has data to support these timing advance items...

 

Does it really have better fuel economy ?
If so i will go do it, Cause my fuel economy is like crap..
a tank of fuel runs about 350 km

Nice ride you picked up. Congrats!!

How about doing the foglight rewire mod so that you can turn on your fogs independently from your headlights. Check the how-2 section for it.

 

Has this ever been confirmed on a dyno? Or is it all still just butt dyno guesstimates?

 

Good color!

 

this is the same year as mine but i dont have heated seats?

 

It's 2 years older than mine and I don't have heated seats either.

 

I think they were in the Meridian Package. Also came with the ACC, heated mirrors and I think a few other things.
