nothing is worth the money. there are no "chips" that do anything for our cars. they are completely worthless.

 

There are only two belts that it could be, and they're both located on the passenger side of the engine. Check the belt tensioner and make sure the belt deflection on both is ok.

Sometimes sprayng belt dressing on them will fix the problem as well.

 

no, they are not.

 

go with Cattman, it's about the only on out there that has good sound, but not ricey. Also it looks good (twin 3" outlets) and doesn't look like a fart-can like most of the rest.

there is no such "mod" that will do anything for you unless you are heavily modded with all bolt-ons. don't spend a cent on any "chips" or "ECUs" that claim gains on a lightly-modded VQ30...BS.

 

Anyone know where the blinker relay on an '03 GLE is?

 

fuse box under the hood. large black square

 

Hey Irish,
I went searching and found your pics from 2004 with ebrake boot installed. I bought one from redlinegoods. Please, give me a hint how to install that thing. Does center console needs to be removed or there any other way? Redline says that console must come off.
Thanks a mil.

 

i had a autometer air/fuel gauge when i had the qr25 in my sentra but now since the vq swap im not sure which wire to tap into from the o2 sensor. help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hey guys, here's nother noob question,

is it possible for a car to have a major accident and not have it show up on CARFAX?

i was vacuuming out my fairly newly-purchased used car the other day - realized that in the back - the the footwell for the right rear passenger is convex (curves up) and the footwell for the left rear passenger is concave (curves down) - WTF?

There is no record on CarFax of any accidents - and I'd be very hard pressed to find any evidence of a collision on the car itself.

any ideas?

this on top of the oil consumption problem - wow not even a month and im already regretting my purchase.

 

Yes, it is. I have had 3 cars in fairly major accidents. On 2 of them, they were close to being totalled. I sold one of them very shortly after getting them back from the repair shop and there was nothing on the carfax on it. Another one went over a year after being repaired and when I traded it in, it still did not show.

 

Sorry I dont have any pics right now but I can tell you that they match the HIDs a lot better than the stock ones. Probably not quite as peircely bright as the PIAA super plasmas but they still look good. Kina a cool white. My stock HIDs seem to have a little purple in them, these fogs dont realy. As far as quality iv only had mine about a month so cant realy so for sure. Bulb construction is good.

 

yes, the console between the seats has to come off so you can get to the underside of it. It's really very simple....5 or 6 screws, a few clips and a couple wires (rear lighter and seat heater switches). takes like 5 minutes to remove..

 

Ok so now I have the berk/apexi intake, lowered w/eibach, good tires and rims, now I want to upgrade my exhaust. I want to do headers or Y-pipe... seems 2k2-2k3 is screwed as the good brands seem to have quit making them. I wanted to go with frankencar catback are they still around?

 

any other quiet exhaust systems out there?

 

Does hotshot still sell headers for 02-03?

 

This problem just started tonight and I can only think it would be the catalytic converter. It sounds like there's a cooler filled with ice and water that slushes back and forth under hard acceleration or stopping. I can hear it moving back and forth and it sounds like it's coming from the underneath, middle of the car. I took a baseball bat and tried to tap on the exhaust, but I couldn't hear anything weird. Anybody got a clue?

 

Keep your stock rear and just get a b-pipe from Cattman (or whoever else still makes em for us).

 

That's what I have and cannot ask for anything quieter.

 

anyone experience stalling when clutching in to decel? its an intermitent problem that i cant figure out. also my car surges when its cold. extremely violently surges.

 

hey i got a 2k3 maxima...i was looking for replacement yellow fog light bulbs...i still have the stock ones in...does anyone know if it is a h3 that fits into my car? and if so does anyone know any good places to buy them? thanks

 

sounds like a bad IACV.....Mine does it a bit too

 

thats what i thought it was

 

I got the Greddy cat back for my 01, it is not quite but it is not rice either

 

Stupid question, my Service Engine Soon light is on and a friend let me borrow his OBD II reader. Where do you connect it?

 

under the dash to the left of the steering wheel

 

Thanks

 

Searched the Forums and didn't find anything on this.

Not ready to spring for HIDs, but would like to upgrade look (brighter white) and functionality of stock '00 headlights.

Any suggestions on headlight and fog light bulb replacements, or other related upgrades? Thanks!

Hi, what voltage should I get under full load and at normal idle around 700rpm?

My battery is a few months old and shows above 14 volts with engine off or with engine on at idle with no load. The voltage is holding at 13.8 with radio, lights and heater. Once I turn on the windshield defrost and the rear defog, the voltage falls to 12.2 and holds there at normal idle. It goes up to above 14 once I add some gas. Is this normal?? I thought a good alternator should hold it at above 13 volts under full load.

I had these readings on my original alternator taken today, I had the alternator switched to a rebuilt alternator, which was tested on a special machine in front of me and when it was put in I get same readings. Is this a normal reading - full load, idle, 12.2 volts?

 

fyi its the white one. i figured it out.

 

Well Frankencar stop makeing theirs cause they did it on a limited basis but people *****ed that they took their time etc etc so they said screw this. So for catback if you want a nice look go with the cattman. For headers hotshot or cattman, i think hotshot makes theirs on a limited quality so get them if you see them. Cattman should have his available. Try contacting those guys and see

 

According to the symptoms that ppl are sayin about their max it seems to be the same problem..the engine coils...i was wonderin does anybody know how much they are and where can u get them from...do you have to get them from the dealer??? thanks..

 

This is fairly obscure, but here goes.

when i bought my 2k3 off a friend, the shift plate like the gated plastic thing that says P-R-N-D-3 etc. etc. is all scratched up as well as the shift ****, ive replaced the shift **** OEM, anyone know where i can find a new shift plate, i hate having it all scratched up

 

I would get OEM ones. Try DaveB or eBay (that's where I bought mine) for the best prices. They are pretty expensive.
Call DaveB. He will give you a good price.

 

Sorry for lack of knowledge, but who is this dave B...i dont even have PM privaledges yet

 

Dave B's new #

much appreciated....i hope he ships to canada

 

actually, he will deliver it personally to your doorstep, overnight, for no extra charge.

 

what do you call expensive on those coils???

 

the coils are close to $80 each from a dealer ($76 I think is the dealer price). You can get them for less on eBay or online store but need to make sure they are OEM with a grey dot on each coil indicating it's an upgraded part. I saw posts here where people were getting them for under $400 for a set of 6 from DaveB. I got mine on eBay for $45 a piece but that was obviously lucky.
