i bought an 01 SE with 61K miles on it recently as well. Couple of days ago the SES light came on. Went to autozone today and the guy checked it out and said something about a B1 02 sensor. The guy was being a Bit$h and was hurrying everything. I was like w/e at least i partially know what's wrong with my car. Somewhat of a bummer considering i recently bought the car and the guy said there was nothing wrong with it what so ever. **** probably resetted the ECU on me too.

 

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I'm just asking because I'm too cheap to actually spend $300+ on an Injen intake for my Max...

(And too lazy to search...sorry guys...)

Anyone have any experience with building a CAI for the 5th gen out of the universal piping you can buy from Autozone, or possibly modding a 4th or 6th gen. short ram/cai for use on a 5th gen? And I'm not looking for the ghetto air intake made out of dryer tubing, either. Tried it...hated it.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated..

 

Sounds like a bad throwout bearing. Whenever you put pressure on it it starts to drag down the motor. The bearing is only engaged when you step on the pedal. had teh same problem once years ago.

 

I have a 2002 Maxima SE with 70000 miles. I love this car but recently a few things have been driving me nuts and I need some help.

1.) The air conditioner/heater makes a weird roaring noise in the dash when the fans are going. It comes and goes. Anyone else have this problem? What was causing it?

2.) If I want to replace my Bose hu with a double din aftermarket, would I still be able to use the Bose speakers/amps if I get an adapter?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Have you ever cleaned the cabin filter?? You could have all kinds of stuff ((dirt/leaves. etc.) that could be slowing down airflow and caught in the fan or fan housing.

You may also have to remove the fan to get all of the area clean. There are several threads plus how to's to help you get to the fan and filter.

Good Luck

 

i have the same heat/aircon issue, its coming from the right side? if so the blower motor is going out check that out

 

i have an 01 and im experiencing something similar. The sound comes from the right hand side and its like a squeaking sound similar to what u'll hear from a rusty door hinge. It comes and goes....im guessing its just the friggin cold weather cuz the sounds seems to go away after a while.
It comes up whenever i apply the breaks or whenever i hit any potholes or make right turns...(not consistant though)

can anyone tell if theres a difference in the color of the light gray leather interior from an 01 maxima compared to an 02 maxima. Are they the same color or a lighter/darker shade of one another? i have an 02 maxima and i need headrests for it (light gray leather) and some guy wants to sell me the headrests from an 01 maxima? will there be a color difference thats noticeable? thanks in advance!

 

i asked this question in the forum but no one actually confirmed it but does an 02-03 nissan emblem from the trunk fit for the 00-01? i switched tails to the 5.5 gens and i still have the black emblem and wanna know if the 5.5 gens chrome emblem will fit in the same holes?

 

when i bought my 01 max i noticed the coolant was a bit low. I didn't think of it much since i didn't see any apparent leaks and just refilled the radiator (no water running sound yet). A couple of days later the check engine sign came on. I went to autozone and they said the 02 sensor needs to be replaced. I also started hearing what seemed like water running under the dash on startup. Well i know its below freezing outside so the noise can only be the coolant. Surprisingly enough the check engine sign went away today and now the check engine sign is replaced by the water running sound
Is it possible that the coolant is being leaked onto the wiring or something that connects the o2 sensor to the ecu? And now that the coolant is below the leak point (if there is a leak) the o2 sensor came back to life?

 

1.) As stated previously replace your cabin air filter and clean the area inside the filter area.
2.) Yes.

 

so this isnt thread worthy hence posting it here. I currently have a Berk CAI on my 03 SE Max, would this fit onto the 3.5 in an 05-06 Altima SE-R? I'm contemplating selling the max for one of those, and want to take the sweet sound of the Berk with me.

 

would an 01 GLE suspension system fit an 01 SE ?

 

Paradox is selling them anymore at the moment. This is your best bet and where I am getting mine.

Why would it not?

 

Will a 02 or 03 grill fit easily into a 00?

 

No! Whole bumper has to be swapped out.

 

Hey Ive got a coolant leak right below my throttle body and im not sure where its coming from

can some one assist me to what this issue is...Also Im not sure where the TPS (throttle position sensor) is located

 

Have you looked as to exactly where the coolant is leaking? You've got two coolant lines to the TB, and the coolant log from head to head under there too.

 

Take a look at Berk's website.

Altima kit:


Maxima kit:


Call them and see if you can get the bend piece (if you want to keep it all original Berk). If not, get one of those bends from an auto parts store or a piece of IC piping. The midpipe also appears to be a longer piece.

Honestly, just sell it and buy the Altima kit.

 

Not likely. The waterfall sound is because your coolant level is low or you have an air pocket, you need to bleed the cooling system.

Do a pressure test, see if you can find the leak.

Have you checked the O2?

 

hi guys,

I live in southern california.. and was wondering if anyone has a stock intake for maxima 02 SE?
I have a smog test thats due soon. I currently have a frankencar intake installed which is not CARB approved.

any help will be appreciated.
thanks.

 

Go to the classifieds, there are probably some stock intakes floating around there.

 

couldnt find any in classifieds.. anyone in southern cali got one laying around? just need to pass the smog test.
thanks.

 

You'll get a far better response for people in your area in your regional section.

 

thanks for your quick replies.
i'll try there.

 

thanks, Ive checked, but i cant seem to find out where its dripping, I know its literally dripping directly below the throttle body, and i even see where its right above what i BELIEVE is the actual "throttle position sensor", or to the left of the throttle position screw (that phillips head screw)

I know I'll have to take my midpipe off and see

 

Hi
I have a 2001 Maxima SE and i bought a Hi/Lo HID conversion kit. I need help powering it up
I plug everything just they way it was and when i turn my lights on only the high halogen light comes on and the HID light doesn't turn on at all. and also my day time running lights don't turn on at all.

can someone please help me

thank you

 

If you hit the high beam switch, do your HIDs turn on?

What bulb type did you get your kit for?

 

Hi everyone. I just got a 2002 Maxima SE last week. The car has 79600 miles on it right now. So far I'm liking it, but the SES came on a few hundred miles after I got it. Went to Autozone to have the codes read and got 1612, 1800, 1147, and 0139. I kind of know what they mean and I reset the ecu. The light came back on though after driving 60 miles. 1147 and 0139 means the oxygen sensor but I want to be sure about it before I cough up the money for a sensor. I already looked at the diagram in the sticky and know where it is located, but can someone look at this https://www.automedicsupply.com/cata...?&pkey=1431961 and tell me which brand and part number it is? The whole front, rear, pre-cat, and post-cat naming is kind of confusing to me. Also, how is the Walker brand of o2 sensors? I haven't heard of them before.

Also, can the vais be fixed with this diy http://www.cardomain.com/ride/442543/16 since my car has the 3.5 and the diy has a 3.0?

Any help is much appreciated.

 

You don't have a VIAS like the 3.0, so no need to worry about it.

You need bank 1, sensor 2. Also called Rear bank, post cat. Or could be called right bank, whichever. As long as it's right/rear/1, and sensor 2/postcat, that's what you need.

 

Thanks. If it's not the VIAS then what is the p1800 for?

 

Wrong type of VIAS, really. DE-K's have dual runner UIMs, you've just got a power valve.

That's for the SV bolted to the front of the UIM, right next to the vacuum canister. Has two vacuum lines on it. It's either the harness or the valve itself.

 

Due to the fact that you would possibly be producing glare and offending oncoming drivers please consider packing it up and shipping it back.Read about projectors and consider doing a retrofit or have someone do it for you.If you insist on keeping it then I would suggest first making sure the ballasts even work by hooking them directly to your car battery.

Hi
thank you for replies
But when i turn my High Beams on, no light comes on.
I have the (Hi/lo 9003 H4 ) bulb for it.

how do u make sure the ballast is working by hooking it up directly to your battery?

 

...by hooking it up to the battery.

Did you have to do any wiring?

 

hi
i don't have any wires

this is the kit i bought from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWN:IT&ih=025

 

Well you have wires, but...

Anyway, have you tested them as said above?

 

yes i plug all of the wires and then turn the car on and hi beams comes on in my regular light switch and HID don't even in Hi Beam Switch.

i bought another kit before this one and had the same result so i returned that one and bought this one because i thouhg it was the KIT but im so lost i don't know what the problem is

 

That's not testing it as was said above. Run B+ and ground to it, and see if the damn thing even works before figuring out why it won't work correctly when installed.
