WOW...
they are saying a whole bunch of BS... the whole reason why not everyone does it is because the consult machine itself is like a 1000 dollars, but a monkey can do it himself, its very very simple and it would take less than 4 minutes i swear, so go check another dealership or a mechanic that has the machine.

good luck and dont even pay above 50 for it except if u want too lol

 

well there are some of them that already have projectors and they even are HID compatible, are their performance bad?

 

hey guys umm i have a couple of questions. im getting my first car soon and im thinkin about getting a 02-03 max is there anything i need to know about it when i look at the car? im goin to college in the fall and im gonna be up in buffalo so would this be a good first car?

 

Take whatever car you are interested in, and take it to a reputable mechanic to have them look over it before purchasing. Test drive it.

 

The projectors are sh!tty and the light pattern coming from them sucks and the headlights look cheap and riced out. But hey your money spend it how you want it.

 

Well the 02-03 have problems with the engine burning oil do to several reason. If i was you i'd get a 01 stick shift and call it a day VQ30DEK FTMFW!!!!!!

 

i have a 2k max with 81 k's on it. is there any tuneup or maintaince i should do to it and if so what is it.

appreciate the feedback and help thx

 

Look in your owners manual under maintenance. You should have flushed the trans fluid by now, if you haven't, I'de do that. Replace the plugs.......

 

Noob question. I've got a 2002 Maxima and I tried replacing the rear struts. As I tried to remove the lower mounting bolt I realized that the nut was spinning with the bolt. There isn't any access to the nut though because of the shield behind the rotor. Is there a trick to this? Will I be able to access the nut by removing the shield or am I overcomplicating it?

 

Odd. I don't remember mine ever spinning. I thought the nut was welded on.....I don't remember. Anyhow, you may have to remove the shield to double wrench it. I would look back there and make sure the 'nut' is seated properly and not broken.

 

Thanks for the response. I was suspecting that the nut was supposed to be held in place but it broke free. My hope is that I do have access after I remove the shield.

 

Indeed, the nut should have a tab on it, or it should be in a hex shaped hole to hold the nut in place (haven't touched that area in a while).

 

does anyone know if the is a hid kit out there that will do both high and low beams in one ballast per headlight?

 

what is this and y is it leaking brake fluid?



it doesnt look like its coming from the hose, it looks like its coming from the bushing lookin thing

Hey guys one of my bulbs went out for my 03 maxima and somebody told me that I can get certain acura headlight bulbs for cheaper and they are the exact same thing. can nybody let me know if this is true.

Also, im assuming its a simple process to replace bulbs, but in case im overlooking something, is there anything I should know before tacling this?

Hey all. Im new hear and just bought my 2001 maxima se about 2 months ago. Wondering if i could possibly get some insight on a problem i am having. And for the record..the dealership i bought it from is just horrible. My mistake but i have wanted a maxima for a long long time and since i work off the books and have no co signer..i had no choice but to go with a lone shark.
The problem is after i fuel it up..it doesnt want to start. Take about 2 cranks..and the second crank starts it but very hard. Now..i brought it back to the dealer and they said it was Fuel Pressure Regulator. So they switched it out (and charged me full price heh). Turns out that wasnt the problem. So i called them back 2 days after i got it replaced and told em about this problem. Now there saying vapor lock wich they pointed out is a 10 hour fix. But i get confused because it only happens after fueling. Never stalls any other time. My personal mechanic told me to leave the gas cap off when i start it. But it still does it. And the gas cap being open allows the ventalation needes to prevent the vapor from escaping. So im clueless..and responces with ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and sorry for such long post.

 

It would help if you actually said what part of the car we're looking at.

Is that the trailing arm?

 

yessir but i already kno whats leaking.thanks neways

 

What is?

 

im pretty sure its the trailer arm bushing because its definitely not the brake line so im gonna replace them... http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...sp?prod=7.7108

 

Ah. It does help to say whether it's actually brake fluid, or if you think it's brake fluid. If you say specifically that it's something that it's not, it misleads diagnosis.

Also FWIW that isn't a brake hose, that's the parking brake cable along the trailing arms.

 

Hello everyone I'm new here. I purchased an 02 max and I'm very happy with it. Can anyone tell me what kind of rim is this? I can't seem to figure out.

 

Does it not have any manufacturer or model number stamp either in the lugnut area or on the backside of the wheel?

 

Hello guys,

i have a weird problem! I give u the situation. My engine is cold, I start my car, put on Drive, press the gas,and then the engine hesitate like it dont want to take gas for 2 sec. After, everything is ok. Someone here told that could be the MAF. I change it. It's a little bit better but not good. Do you have a another idea of what is the problem. I just don't want to broke something else because of that.

Thank you !!

 

Read what you typed out loud, then fix and try again....oh and try more detail as well....

 

^^^ lmao ^^^

 

My 03 does the same thing. The gas cap thing works, but, what I do is remove the key, and wait about 5-7 seconds, then start it again. Seems to work for me and my gas cap can stay on.

I'm having a problem with my 6cd Bose (2002 GLE). I've read the various posts which relate to my problem of the audio cutting out. I'd like to replace the old ribbon cable with a new one myself, but I can't find any info/links on where to find a replacement ribbon cable. Does anyone know where to get a replacement cable?

 

I went back and took a closer look and the only thing I saw was this weird logo......I'm sorry if I sound newbish but thats all I saw....



Yes I know they aren't pretty but I'm curious so if anyone knows please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

 

I still can't make a thread for some reason but. My tranny needs a rebuild(front diff bearing) . Its a 2000 maxima se tranny. I'm going to tackle it myself as I'm thinking I can do it. My question is what all will i need parts wise for doing this? Can you buy rebuild kits from the dealer?

Anybody done this and has a good write up on it, thanks

 

No 15 posts, no new thread.

Assuming 5 speed? Did you search around at all?

http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...te-up-pix.html

Several rebuild kit threads as well, just search for them.

 

Hehe. My hyundai had that problem. Mechanic told me it was just a bad make of the car..in other words had no idea what he was talking about i would assume. But then again...now we have maximas..wich is obviously better. Let me know if you find the problem.

 

I've searched around, I heard that 4th gen and 5th gen tranny's are different? No?

 

They are different, but barely.

 

I have a motor with a few bent valves looking to part out or sale the whole motor, any takers. Going to put in the paper next week.

 

Help,
The service engine light came on in my 02 max, a guy at my work check the code, it came back ignition timing advancing too fast, any suggestions.

 

How about posting the actual code?
