The 2000 Maxima has a fairly common problem with blown right front struts, if you're still stock. This could cause both of your problems - the clunk and teh vibration (cupping).

 

105 sounds about right for 1 hour shop labor and turning the rotors. Turning (cutting) the rotors will get rid of uneven pad buildup left from stock pads. It's a good idea.

 

It's best to change the seals. i didn't, and have a very (VERY) slow leak from one now. I check the fluid once a month and it's still at the top after a few months, but in retrospect it would have been a good idea to do the seals at thesame time. They're cheap and easy to replace.

 

There is NO benefit for street applications unless you are in a high-debris environment (ie. driving on dirt roads alot). Anyone who says otherwise is full of it

They're just for looks for 99% of people who get them.

My lighter doesn't work. Would it be too hard to fix?? I was wondering if there was a fuse behind the jack, or is there only one in the lighter itself?

 

Wassup everybody...new member here....
Bose radio problem....I searched and searched and nada....

I got a 2002 SE w/stock navigation and one morning I jump in the car and my radio turns on but no sound....I also lost control of my cd changer....the radio looks fine...it shows volume levels and stations...and the cd changer is getting power cuz it spits out the magazine with no prob when opened....
I checked all the audio fuses under the steering wheel and by the battery and they are all fine...I even switched a few same amp fuses just to double check and nothing....and now from switching fuses with the acc switch open my check engine light came on but thats another story....any help with this bose issue is greatly appreciated...Thanks

 

Most likely the fuse located in the fuse panel.

 

again, anyone know if a 98 customenterprise fstb will fit on my 2k?

 

I think that I checked that too. Anyway, thanks for the advice SE.

 

I have a 2000 Maxima GLE. Filled up the tank right before hitting the highway. Then I reset the trip odometer. Put 111 miles (all highway) roundtrip. After getting back off the highway, filled up again and checked mileage. The tank took 2.966 gallons. It worked out to 37mpg. This seems a little high to me. I thought the estimated highway mpg was about 27-28? Any thoughts?

 

does anyone have any sound clips of a JIC catback for a 02 max. i looked in the exhaust thread and found nothing. my max is stock right now but i am ordering a injen cai an want a catback also. im stuck between greedy and jic. i want a exhaust that can be heard. any help is appreciated. thank you

 

Hey guys, noob hear!
I dont have a question, Im just saying hi...introducin'...bla bla bla.

Say hi to Josh folks

 

I was wondering if anyone knows if 00-01 fog light housings/light can fit in 02-03....the reason is that i saw a set of smoked lights on ebay that said it is for 00-01 and i wanted to know if there will be a problem buying those and installing them.If they do not work can someone point me in the direction in buying smoked fogs for my 2k2 Se.Thanks for the help!

 

Just curious... Will the '01-03 Electronic climate control fit and work in a 2000 maxima SE replacing the original manual AC controls? Saw one for sale and wouldnt mind having it installed.

Also whats everyones opinion on aftermarket sunroofs? Do or dont any1 please

 

Well, if you put 3.966 gallons in, then it works out to be ~28mpg....

The question comes as to how you know that is the quantity of gasoline you used. If you are using the reading off the pump, then that is likely where the error comes. Not that the pump reads the incorrect amount, but if you are gauging the tank being full based upon when the pump shuts off, then that is where the "error" is occurring. No two pumps shut off at the same point, and the shut off point can vary wildly. The only way to get a good handle on fuel economy is averaging over time. In other words, take a bunch of MPG readings and then look at the trend. And even then, you'll see your fuel economy change with the seasons.....

 

*Bump*
thanks again

 

There is only one Josh that matters in these parts. And he is me

welcome. I will call you "mini-josh"

 

if you're willing to spend enough time and money, anything can be done. To install the electronic climate control, you will need more than the dash unit. You need teh computer controller, several different sensors, and alot of new wiring. In theory, it can be done. But I don't recall that anyone has successfully done the conversion successfully

 

I have a 20th Anniversary, 2001 Maxima. Keep in mind my plugs and coils are good, what else can cause it to missfire. I am thinking maybe the cat, or maybe the Mass air flow sensor. What other things can I check. Keep in mind it doesn't always missfire, just hear and there.

 

Does anyone have/ has anyone seen the LED tail lights from customenterprise.com on a car?

Im trying to get a feel for what they'd look like on my Max...

tyia

 

Yes am i noob and i have a 2000 Max and i jus ordered the Maas M23 18" chromes on General Exclaim UHP (235/40/18) and i was wondering if the ride would b good on it?? and was that the best tire size to get?? thanks

 

come on man someone help...this is driving me crazy i need my cat-back but dont know which one to choose. i want something deep and loud.

 

don't buy anything from custommaxima/customenterprise....unless you like 50/50 odds of actually getting it.

catback, there is only one on the market anymore that's worthwhile: Cattman.

 

shouldn't you have asked about the ride BEFORE you ordered them? the tires are teh correct size, but I don't know much about General tires. Those wheels look heavy as crap, which means ride quality will probably be poor compared to a light wheel.

Those wheels though......ugh.

 

what about the wheels??? Those Generals are numba 1 on tirerack so im willing to try something new.....

 

tires = if they are ranked good, then good. I'm sure they have been talked about in the wheels/tires forum here.

wheels....chrome + heavy + only 7.5" wide.......no thanks. But each to his own....

 

i mean im new to all this stuff so i really dont know if its 7.5" wide or anything like that what does that mean newayz and im not doin nuttin wit my max but driving it so......i jus want it to b a clean car...

 

browse around in this forum and learn:

http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=71

 

i mean yea i looked around but i mean i really aint see nuttin can u jus briefly explain what that means and how you kno it was 7.5??

 

The only size I saw those rims in anyplace was 18x7.5

7.5" is the width of the rim. Wider than stock (7"), but most people who go with 18's prefer a 8" or 8.5" wide rim so you can go with a wider tire.

 

I just want to make sure that 00-01 fog light housings/light can fit in 02-03"i don't think they could"....the reason is that i saw a set of smoked lights on ebay that said it is for 00-01 and i wanted to know if there will be a problem buying those and installing them.If they do not work can someone point me to a site that has smoked fogs for my 2k2 Se.Thanks for the help!

 

they wont fit in 02-03. those fog lights on ebay will not even fit the actual vehicle because to fit those in 00-01 you'll need to do rewiring. if you search for 02-03 fogs they will also need rewiring.

 

Just the other day, I changed my rims & tires for winter ones. I had to put 2 tires in the trunk and 2 in back of the front seats. (in the leg space area in the backseat). The problem is that I left the auto adjust feature on. So when you open the door, the seat moves back, the seat moves to the original position when the door is closed. Since the tire was behind it, the seat didn't really move back because there was no space. Ever since then, the seat won't go back anymore when the door opens. There was a point where it moved just a tiny bit but it never got better. The memory seats still work if I press the buttons on the door panel. But I couldn't find anything in the forums that had a trick to reset it or something like that. It's not a major problem, but it sure is annoying. I have long legs and kinda got spoiled by that feature to get in/out of the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

no one?

also I get an average of 17mpg...is that average for non highway driving?
