donating member = 50 posts or greater??

i'm not trying to get posts up just for that, just curious that i can't use the new posts button to see the 'new posts'

 

^ you gotta donate $20 for a 50 year subscription to maxima.org

 

o ok, gotcha..question to you, where did you locate your CF hood?

 

You can actually use the new post feature, just not the new thread. Anyhow, 15 posts is your minimum in order to start a thread. Anti spammer/newbie question rule. Odds are if you've just registered and have no posts/experience, the question you're itching to ask has probably been answered. That is the reason for this thread.

 

no i'm not trying to start a new thread, i am familiar with the search function/button, i've been on and am on many other forums, so i'm use to searching, just a matter of typing the right words to get what u need to pop up. but i am unable to use the new posts feature, this is what i get when i click "New Posts":

 

My statement still stands.

 

phatboislim -

New posts is basically a search, and you can't search unless you donate. $20 for a basically lifetime (50 year membership) as mentioned above by secondtonone317.

 

you cannot use NEW POSTS... todays posts.... or find all posts/ threads created by ***** user... they all run the forums built in search engine to generate results.

and to "unlock them" you need to pay for a subscription...


Dont quote me on this.

 

ok, sounds cool...thanks...once i get the max to my satisfaction, ill throw in my donation..thanks people

 

I just did my seafoam last night throught the brake booster... followed soonerfans writeup...

anyways... my car has 125k miles on it... and use 1/3 can of seafoam.... there was alot of smoke..... but nothing like the youtube videos.... the videos show really thick puffs of smoke comming out....

one mine there was alot....enough to cover the entire driveway... but it was thin... i could see through it...

does this mean my car was clean to start with.... or i did something wrong.... or its normal?..... it just wasnt something that i was expecting....

i thought it was going to be really bad where neighbours would complain so i waited till midnight.... but it wasnt bad at all.

 

And i tried again this morning to put my glove box back in...... im really stumped.... =\


here are pictures to show you where im have the problems







AND... if i tilt it.. and do the top part first... i wont have that gap anymore.... but THEN the bottom wont be alignmed properly... and when i try to push the bottom in... the top pops out of place. the 2 pics below will show






any tips will be appreciated...

 

again, just make sure everything is lined up. there are about 10 tabs that have to line up perfectly. takes a little bit to figure it out.

 

i'm no maxima guru, but make sure all your clips/tabs are where they are suppose to lock in. i think thats where your problem lies

 

Is there an issue in changing out the stock dual mass flywheel/unsprung clutch disc on a 6 sp. for a more conventional solid flywheel/sprung disc? The stock assembly is amazingly expensive, and you can't resurface the flywheel. If there isn't a problem, is the replacement a bolt-on part or is more needed?

 

glad you mentioned clutch...i forgot to ask how soon is the pedal suppose to release from the floor...my 00 max is practically right off the floor it releases, but there is no issues as far as the clutch slipping...maybe i need to bleed the system??

 

Bleed the system, plus check to make sure the clutch pedal height is correct.

 

you have to lay down your glove box near the floor and slide the right bottom end into the metal clip, then lift it up and push the upper right clip into the hole, then left side.

 

aww lord...pedal height...i never understood pedal height, even when i had my integra..link to pedal height explanation, maybe your forum explains better (i will be searching for a explanation too)

 

There should be a locknut behind the clutch pedal on the firewall. Clutch pedal height should be between 7 and 7 1/2 inches and the freeplay between 11/32 and 5/8 of an inch. Description and pictures in my Chiltoin's manual for my car. Definitely pick one up, well worth the $20, IMO.

 

Did a search but could find anything.

and yes I went to autozone the moment a code showed up and it came up with
P0302 Cyl 2 misfire
then reset it
later the light came on again and it was
p0303 Cyl 3 misfire
reset it since it wqas roaming and then it came on again
p0304 cyl 4 misfire

what would be the cause of that
ECU? coil packs and if so which side of the engine are 2,3,4 on? or what should I check next.

where is a good place to get Maxima specific engine parts, thats not super expensive.

 

I'm no guru, so someone else will have to chime in, but I thionk it may be the coil packs. DaveB usually seels Nissan parts for a little less than the dealer so if this is the problem, then he's the one to PM.

IIRC when standing infront of the car with the hood open, and looking at the engine the layout is as follows.



(Firewall side)
/1-3-5 \ (Transmission side)
\2-4-6 /
(Bumper side)

I think I'm correct. If not I will edit my post.

 

1. its the coils. might as well change all six (and plugs while you are at it)
2. dave burnette at south point nissan is who we use for OEM parts
3. the cylinder layout above is correct (its also in your owners manual)

spdfreak,

thanks

 

does anyone know where i can get the stillen classic front lip i went down to the local speed shop and they couldnt get a hold of it someone please help me i would really appericate it

 

Yes, I bought both the Haynes and Chiltons and they seem to be pretty much the same book.

 

'kewl' thanks

 

Aside from Stillen, Maybe someone is selling on here, but odds are, it is not the color of your car if it's being sold in here.

 

dang it! thanks anyways guys someone pm me when they find one

 

I have a question,it might have been answered before but I am just curious.I turned on my car(2001 Se,Auto), and on the right of the tachometer,below the the car thermometer,there was a light that said "set". What could that be?

 

My ECU light has been on for a month or so on and off, I finally had the codes read at Autozone and it advised the Sensor 2 Bank 2 O2 sensor was too slow during testing. One of the things I have noticed and I beleive is related to this bad 02 sensor is a pinging that occurs beween 1000 and 2000 RPM's. It is really noticable when it first starts and when you let off the accelerator and the RPM's are going down. I am going to attempt to replace this myself. Has anyone experienced this issue and corrected it by replacing their bank 2 sensor 2 Oxygen Sensor? This is the front lower one I beleive.

 

Too slow? Does the voltage vary rapidly? If so, that could be a sign the cat is bad and not the O2. That is usually a P0420 or P0430 code though.
