Thanks!

 

sorry if this has been discussed before but i cant seem to find an answer anywhere and believe me ive become pretty good at searching....my questionis what engine mods can i safetly do with 00' GLE with 110,000 miles on it...CAI, muffler/exhuast, racing chip, headers, etc. etc...is there anything that i should really stay away from...the car runs very strong and was very well taken care of....

thanks

 

As long as the engine runs strong and doesn't burn oil, you should be fine with bolt-ons and improved engine management.

 

racing chip?

dont exist.....

After you know the stickys VERY well, then post a question, if it has not been posted before. Always search before posting.

 

2000-2003 should be interchangeable as far as trunk/spoiler goes.

Does anyone know about any of the 6th gen spoilers http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41lblEOpPiL._AA280_.jpg

fitting a 5.5th gen (2002)?

Has anyone done it?? I'm not too sure what it'd look like but thought I'd inquire

 

quick question, when you rip the e-brake going into a turn, which wheels are looking up, the rear or front? Thought i read somewhere it was the rear, but just wanted to doublecheck

 

you trying to drift?

all e-brakes are the rears....

 

hahaha rear.

 

I have a problem thats bothering the hell outta me, heres the scenario, in the morning mostly when i get in my car and crank it up it makes a scraping noise thats very bad, i dont think but not sure that it could be the starter because i had it replaced about a year ago. the noise will be like, it will turn over scrape and turn over scrape..something like that if you understood that. need some help on it if anyone has had the same problem.

 

haha no just curious...FWDs don't make for good drifting usually

 

What year is your car? I have the same issue on my 2k 5spd. Its kinda embarassing cause its really loud. Mine doesnt happen all the time, just randomly.

 

i have a 2000 auto se...yea its very embarassing i dont even wanna crank it up when anybody is around i mean i really want to get it fixed....and ideas on what it could be??

 

it kinda sounds like your battery is gonna dead when it turns over to doesnt it?

 

It's either a starter problem or a broken tooth on the flywheel. Most likely in your car it's the starter not fully engaging. I would start with the starter. If you don't get this taken care of it can damage the flywheel teeth and cause more expensive repairs.

 

So I am just curious in the difference between the auto climate control and the regular (manual) one? I have the manual one. Why do some models have them and some don't? Is there any swapping possible that is direct replacement? I like the look and use of the auto better, and it's just something that I'm interested about; couldn't find anything from searching. Thanks in advance.

 

From what i gathered on the org, the auto climate control was an option and is not easily swappable into your car if you have manual. Way too much re-wiring and some type of sensor issue i believe?

 

Okay, thats what my friend was trying to tell me. Well, now I know. Thanks for the info.

 

hey i was wondering if the cattman y pipe would work well with a greddy catback on 2000 max?

 

It will work, but IMO, too loud. Stock catback is fine, it's the manifold area where the true restriction is.

 

Ok i just did the gab mod and love the sound and the throttle response..but the air hose that goes down in the engine and in the whilte air box is kinda disconnected and i feel like air is not flowing correctly through it, what do you guys do?? I have heard of people blokcing it off and i heard people puttin a longer tube on it..??

 

remove the white "resonator"...you dont need it now

 

will it affect it if its stays in there????

 

so i can just remove the resonator and block off the piping that comes down??

 

remove the resonator (it was designed to reduce intake sound...you dont need it now)
leave hole open (if anything, it draws in more air)

 

so it would be cool if i jus take out the 90deg elbow thats connecting them together besides taking the whole resonator out???

 

i mean i feel like that would be easier do i plug it up or leave it open???? will it make it louder with the GAB??

 

i did the GAB on my 00...then i removed the elbow and the resonator for a cleaner look...i left the hole open...sound didnt change

 

o ok then well for now im jus going to remove the elbow until i have time to actually remove the resonator but appreciate the info...

 

I have some check engine codes being thrown and I want to reset them to see if they pop back up. I can swing by Autozone and have them clear the codes or I can just take the negative off of the battery overnight. Do you see any benefits one way or the other? My goal is to see if the codes come back by the weekend. Thanks, this forum is a great resource.

 

Why reset the light? I would rather get the codes and fix / address them.

 

I have the codes and I want to fix them this weekend. I want to clear the codes to see if a P0420 comes back -- I want to see if it throws the code right away when I start the car.

 

It wont throw the code w/light right away when you start the car. It takes 2 trips.

Go to Autozone, have them reset it. What year is your car? If it is an 02 / 03, there is a procedure that allows you to reset it yourself. It can be found in the stickys.

 

Thanks for the info. I saw the stickies and figured the easiest way for me to reset is to unhook the battery. 2001 20th Anniversary Edition AT with 130k miles. I am getting a P0420 (not too worried about) and a P0505 (worried about). The P0505 is saying the IACV is bad. I am hoping the P0420 was either thrown by bad gas or by the IACV failing.

I am receiving this car from a friend and I am hoping to fix it for miminal costs/time.

 

Does a 2000 Max with headers, after market exhaust, and a CAI need a bigger MAF? If so any suggestions? Thanks

 

1. headers are pointless on a 2000
2. you dont NEED a larger MAF housing

 

Spend a lot of time in here: http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=61

 

Why are headers pointless on a 2000? I had cali emissions took that off and put in an entire cattman system.

 

That's a different discussion not intended for this thread. For Maximum performance, you want headers. That is all.

 

because i said so
