Hey soonerfan, what did you want?

 

soonerfan-how did you vent your engine cover?

 

He cut holes and put some type of screen behind.

 

I know that, just want to know how it seems to be cut so evenly.

 

Draw in pencial, and cut. You can make a guide to stay straight.

 

i was gonna answer your PMs...but then my girl came in to town from the states and i forgot.

 

another member actually did it then i bought it.
he used a stencil then a dremel. the mesh is affixed with high-temp epoxy. i painted the whole thing black except the emblem

newest pic (paint still a little wet)

 

It's ok. Enjoy her visit.

 

I might do a variation of that, looks better than just painting it a different color.

 

Thanks - cool site, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have the TSB I'm looking for. Any other sources?

 

i need to know the coilpack order for a vq35......
really dumb question i know but i need to replace the number2 coilpack and im kinda lost.......

 

What do you mean by coilpack order? The order in which they fire?
Be specific with the questions and dont write "......." because that doesn't explain anything.

 

well what i meant to say is what is their cylinder order as in which is cylinder 1 which is cylinder 2 which is cylinder 3 etc......

now im noticing that the coilpack the dealer gave me is slightly larger than the stock ones.

is this because they are the greydots or did i the dealer accidentally give me the wrong ones.
again i have a 2k2 max.

 

Time to search. This was posted two pages back. Heres the link to the post.

I'm not sure about the coils being differant, but the fronts and rears may be differant part numbers due to their slight differance.

 

Cylinder #2 is the rear cylinder furthest to the right if your looking at your car from the front looking towards the trunk. The rear 3 coil packs are different than the 3 front coils. Regardless, you should replace them all with updated coils from Dave B.

 

Your incorrect about cylinder #2 location.

 

BUMP for the newbies.

 

i just filled my radiator fluid last week and its empty today? reasons why it went out so fast? I recently also got a nismo radiator cap in November. I tightened it everything.

 

leaks? Are you sure that the block/heater system wasnt full of coolant also?

 

Where are you checking the fluid at?

 

theres this box above the washer fluid. i fill that up with coolant. my car makes a weird cranking noise while driving...

 

well im not really a newb,
but this is kind of a newbie question
i have a 2001 maxima,
if i wanted to get 2002 headlights, what modifications would i need?

 

Check the stickys, there’s a write-up from Dixit IIRC.

 

thanks
im looking for it
but cant seem to find it though

 

Look harder.

 

http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...52&postcount=1 It's the first post in the How To Sticky, you didn't even try.

 

sorry, i found it write after posting my last post
and i was reading it, so i didn't post back
but thank you for your help

 

Not a problem, nice write-up though.

 

hey, 49,000 miles isn't too late to swap out your gear oil is it? i just bought a 2002 6 speed with 49,000 on it and plan on switching the gear oil to amsoil GL-4.. but the previous owner is unsure if the gear oil was ever changed before (how do you not know that?) it's ok to make the switch right?

 

It is never too late to change your gear oil

 

Better late than never.

 

yeah true... i ran into another problem today... has anyone tried to put a 5th gen intake on a 5.5 gen 6 speed? the transmission mount is in the way, and i can't bolt it to the car where it needs to be.. stillen has some kind of spacer that you can use in that instance, bt the space is a good 1-2 inches between the support bracket and the hole it needs to be bolted to because of the tranny mount.. i don't have the spacer, but i think it's just a nut or something, which is nowhere near the size of the space that exists on my car.. what can i do?

 

Right now I am using a 5th gen stock airbox on mine w/o a problem, and I have used a 5th gen Stillen/JWT unit on mine too. It took a little head scratching to figure out a custom bracket, but it worked. Granted mine is not a 6MT, but you get the idea.

 

yeah, see, on the 6MT theres a transmission mount fitted directly in between the support bracket and the the hole it's supposed to be bolted to.. on my old 4AT, there was no problem because the tranny mounts were in different places.. but i have no idea what to do about the space that the tranny mount has created bwtween the support bracket and the hole

 

I've used a hanger wire and my strut bar to do some of my intakes.
