Thank you good sir. :-)

 

Hello everyone!

my coworker owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima GLE and the other day he fused out his left headlight. He bought the car from carmax so he took it there and they told him he needs a "Zenia Philips 35W" bulb to replace it. Would anyone here be kind enough to give me some information on this buld like Where can i purchase it from? Is there a generic version available?


He did install a generic one a philips 35W one and he aint satisfied cause according to him the lightening looks a lil off in color plus they charged him $200 for the bulb alone!!

Any help would be appreciated and if you can provide a link then even better

 

he has HID bulbs which change in color over a period of time. 200 a bulb is steep, check the GD on here. The only way to fix the variation in color of the bulbs is to but two new bulbs at once.

$60 for a pair

 

i know some people have but who ...i would like to know the feedback on that mod

 

/\/\ Not sure what that means, the VIAS fix is not really mod so much as it is fixing the variable intake that the 00/01 Maxima's came with (regardless of transmission). The VIAS system is well written about and is the only reason 5th gens have more HP than 4th gens. It is the "-k" in "VQ30DE-K". The VIAS system kicks in at high RPMs allowing the engine to breath easier.

 

it's not a mod.... but a fix. here's a write up http://www.cardomain.com/ride/763858/5

 

fast responses, i love it!

Thank you Kyle. I gave him a call and he is an excellent guy who helped me out quite a bit.

Thanks

 

Glad I could help. Don't let your fingers come into contact with the bulb when installing!

 

why does VIAS sound like V TEC, when that guy explained it?

PS i'm reading and learning

 

DID you do it

 

No, not me personally.

 

Our VIAS doesn't sound like VTEC... I'm confused by your post

 

every thought about it

 

i'm talking about the way it was described in that link that was posted above:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/763858/5

 

Mine works fine.....

 

Exactly, i know all of this. VTEC uses variable valve timing which produces a sound which is more noticeable.

 

yea thats all i was saying...it KIND OF sounds alike in its function

 

Got an '03 GLE - 91k miles. It's been running a touch on the rough side, and tonight on the way home I got the "check engine" light. What's it mean? Or do I have to go to the dealer?

 

Hi this is my frist post. I am on here trying to figure out what might be causing my mom maxima to throw differnt cylinder fault codes. it started out a cylinder 2, then moved to 3 after reseting the ECU, then after that was reset it moved to 4?

WHAT IS GOING ON?!

oh and I am a VW guy so I dont know anything about nissan engines.

its a 2000 Maxima GLE V6.

 

What codes?
First thing you should do....search.

 

First, go to AutoZone and have them scan your car for codes. It's free.
Next, search.

 

Verify that your VIAS is faulty, whether it be through a dyno, or seat of the pants, then fix it. I would personally get a dyno.

 

It's most likely the coils. I had the same problem. I ordered updated coils from Dave B from Southpoint Nissan.

 

You don't need to go to the dealer. Have Autozone pull the codes and you can go from there

 

I see a pattern here, use it.

 

I searched and found nothing. I need to find out what exactly the color codes in the FSM (Service manual) are. Google helped me find some BMW ones just fine.

Like "L" huh?
and "Pu" I'm assuing its purple.

I would like an entire list of all of them if anyone knows. Much appreciated.

I'm just trying to get my AstroStart Program Utility 1 set to my Rear defogger/defroster and figuring out how the place where I got it installed, did it... rather weird I think.

 

From my 01 FSM:

 

is this the part number for the MAF for the 00-01? 22680-2Y001??

i can get it for $100 shipped on this one..i havent tried the other number kyle gave me yet...

 

Yes, thats the part number. I haven't bought a MAF, but I'd try Dave B, it may be cheaper from him

 

ok i'm going to call him today after i call the insurance company. thanks man

*edit*

why when i click "new posts" i can't see them, it still tells me i have restrictions?

 

Hi...I'm new to the forum. My 2002 Maxima's sunroof recently started opening on its own. I'd be driving along and suddenly I hear the sunroof opening. This has happened three times in the last two months. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

 

Your not a donating member?

 

I don't have a sun roof, but IIRC the switches are on the center console. You may have hit them accidently, or something is shorting out causing it to open.

 

Sun roof switches are on the roof, next to the dome light. Try resetting it, do you have an owners manual? If not, download one here,:http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-...san-Maxima.pdf

read it, and see what it tells re: sunroof reset.

 

Oh. Sorry for the mistake. I thought the two blank covers on the armrest were for the sun roof.

Iv replaced my incabin filter... and im having a really really hard time getting the glove box back on...

the top right hand fastener is giving me a problem.... if i get the fastener inserted... then the bottom right wont get lined up... and iv been trying to wrestle with this thing for an hour and i wanna cry..... also the right side that goes under the weather stripping doesnt line up properly when the bottom does.


anyone have any tips for me?...

 

Go inside, take a beer, and go back outside and work it through real slow, looking for what isn't letting it line up. Forcing it will only break something so take it slow.
