Just bought a 2002 GLE. Like the car thus far although I am going to have to change the blower motor now ($50 on Ebay though so not that bad).

Anyway.... One thing I don't like about this car is the ultra spongy suspension. On the highway at 80 it bounces all over the place if I hit any dips or bumps, it's almost scary. I think the shocks are sort of new, so it obviously is just how this car comes from the factory.

In the past I've had the Eibach Pro-Kit on a car, but I found it to be way too harsh. This is a family car not my toy so I have to keep things reasonable. What is the SE stock suspension like? I'm assuming it's a lot better than the GLE or am I wrong. I want a firm ride a-la VW or Audi, but I don't want to be filled with terror every time I see a small pot hole. Any advice?

Disclaimer - Search after search was conducted before placing this post - I spent 24 consecutive hours scouring other posts, I then climbed a mountain to speak to a wise man and finally read 12 factory service manuals before giving up and falling upon the mercy of this board. Thanks.

If you want the best ride and aren't concerned about cost, the general consensus on here is to ditch the typical strut/spring setup and get some Tein SS Coilovers. The cheapest I found them online was about $1160 shipped. They are height adjustable as well.

Also, are you sure your blower motor is bad? I've had sounds coming from mine on 2 separate occasions. I pulled it out and found debris caught in it (leaves one time, and a piece of foam the other!). Just in case you hadn't checked...

I saw on here someone built a custom enclosure for the 5th Gen Max. They had all the specifications and everything. I can't find the thread though, can anyone help me or tell me where i can find the specs for building a custom enclosure?

i have an 01 max 20th anniversary A/T and was wondering if the tranny was an lsd or non lsd and as a mather of fact i don't even know what that mean haha. also what year tranny could fit. the tranny doesnt engage right away only at around 3500rpm and doesnt go further than second gear. changed the oil and filter and tryed to flush it with the machine and it wouldnt pump the oil around as in the pump could go with the engine running. pretty sure tranny is fried!
P.S. mine is canadian version. not sure if that makes a difference

That should be an LSD transmission.

I never knew 20th Anniversary Editions came with a automatic....

govinz

you could put an automatic as an option on the 20th anniversary

So far, it is a great car. Hardly anything wrong with it considering the age. It is a salvage title, so when I bought the car, only got the valet key. I think the car was equipped with keyless entry, but do you have any idea how to tell for sure? If it has it, I see there are aftermarket ones which I can pick up pretty cheap. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just bought a 2001 SE 5speed. I would like to replace the head unit (works when it wants to) I went to crutchfield but it says double din's wont fit, but I see a ton of pics with double dins in 5th gens. any suggestions?

novamike

2000 max gle. 174k miles.

I bought the car with many problems, replaced Idle air control motor, throttle body, mass air flow, all 6 ignition modules, water pump, timing chain, heads were decked and valve job, new radiator, new fans, all hoses and both thermostats.

NOW... it still over heats but only if I gun it over 5k rpm,, I can driver for an hour then gun it once and it will start to overheat.
Problem 2. I have cold air with a warm engine at idle and very hot air if I gas it to 2000rpms, and I did check coolant level, its topped off..
Problem 3. In P or N I cannot get to 1700-2700 rpms If I gas it at 1500 it will JUMP quickly to 3k. I cannot get it in-between. Makes it very hard to smog usually causes it to fail at least once. PLEASE HELP!!!

I had a focus with a similar problem, my front strut was bolted to a plate that swivel to adjust the camber? maybe and that plate had 3 bolt connecting it to the body. Anyways the center bolt was ground out under the nut from wobbling. Replaced those plates and the problem went away. It came from not tightening the stut bolt 100%

I looked it up it was called a strut mount

I was under the impression that ALL maximas newer than 98 came with keyless option. I ordered a new keyfob off ebay for $20 and paid a local locksmith $40 to program it to my 2000 gle.

reno_famous

I have an 03 se. Does anyone know how to take out the airbags in the steering wheel and dash?? Both are blown, so they need to come out.

Nelsito65

I also thought that, from 98 on, all maximas came with the keyless option. When I ordered my keyfob, it came with the simple intructions that I followed to program it. I was under the impression they all did.

Im new here and not the best with mechanics tho I do know a little bit. So I've been reading a bit on this website and found allot of poeple having the same issue as me, hribble gas mileage. I am roughly getting about 11-13 miles a gallon driving locally and very rare driving on the highway. Ive tried doing the MAF cleaning but that hasn't helped at all. I am running 93 octane fuel (premium), stock motor, and stock air filter. All tires have 35psi of air, and the car isnt pulling in any direction.

So my question is, HOW CAN I IMPROVE IN MY GAS MILEAGE??????? bc this is really killing me. I gas up $50 a week.

Thanks,
Luis

Would a aftermarket cold air intake help: http://www.advancespeedshop.com/inje...40-p-3046.html

OR

Would a aftermarket exhaust help:

OR

would a short ram intake help:

Thanks,

Uhhh wouldnt the intake upgrade decrease mpg? This due to the increased air flow thus resulting in more fuel burned---> Higher HP.

I myself am not getting that great gass milage, but i am getting an O2 sensor code and i think thats is why. Is your max throwing any codes? If not then im not sure.

Since all those things u pointed out checked out, then the next things would be O2 senors, fuel filter (people saw in increase when it was replaced but only by 1-3 mpg)

Any Insight from others???

Choppedn22d

How you guys doing, Im new to your forum obviously, so Hopeefully im posting correctly.

Anyways Im fixing my girlfriends 2001 Maxima SE and its throwing a PO420 code and it failed CA smog. The Shop said it needs catalytic converters and I priced them and about fell over when i heard the price for each cat. Well Im extremely mechanical and can fabricate almost anything, but I dont want to spend a ton of time or money on this project because she needs her car back.

Unfortunatly she has been driving the car for about three months with this code and I did a search and saw the thread about the precats failing and sending the substrate material back into the motor, and now im very concerned she might destroy her motor.

Niether I or her have enough money to buy 1500 dollars in cats.

Basically what is the cheapest option to fix this problem? I looked into the Cattman exhaust and it seems like abetter option then replacing the factory stuff.

What do you guys think is the best option?

Well im not new to the forum but i just bought an 02 6spd. I have searched with no definitive answer. Will the aftermarket headers and Y pipe from custommaxima.com fit on the 02? I have read where people use the 3.0 headers to eliminate the precats in the headers on the 3.5. I bought the setup for my 97. The ypipe is in my 97 but never got around to the headers. So can i just bolt those on my 02?

VQP0WER

Stay away from custom maxima. There are numerous members on here still waiting for their crap they bought with no answers from the company.

Save up your money and get Cattman or get some OBX.

I actually ordered everything for my 97 about 6 months ago and got it with a week. I had a good experience with them. What i cant figure out is will the headers and y pipe for the 97 bold onto the 02?

hi there,

here it is, 2000 maxima a/t 130000kms, just bought it a month ago. so when i first start my car in the morning its about 0 degrees ( im from canader eh) my car hesitates to start unless i press on the accel. a few times, it will start kinda sluggish for like 2seconds and then it runs fine. now if i sit while i wait for it to warm up and slowly rev the car it kinda sticks around 1700rpm and wiggles abit, but if i push the peddle a little bit more it pushes through and continues to rev higher, if i take off while its cold first gear feels almost like its skipping a bit once it warms up it gone, but i do notice that same kinda sluggish feeling when its warmed up very slightly when i push the peddle a 1/8th of the way when cruising in any gear. would it be a tps, maf, dirty tb? i have no code to read and i dont want to start replacing things the needent be. like what would cause it to act up only really when its cold then almst dissapear when the motor is at operating temp? tps? because it kinda seems like is at a certain throttle position (1/8th of a way) but would that make it have trouble starting? is it my maf wouldnt that cause it to have trouble starting because its running lean? is it a dirty throttle body? im so stumped please help???

HEY FELLAS, I HAVE A 2001 AUTOMATIC.THE TRANNY HAS A NASTY JERK FROM FIRST TO SECOND AT LOW SPEEDS,IF YOU PUNCH IT JERK DOESN'T HAPPEN AND AT HIGH SPEEDS SHIFTS ARE SMOOTH. SOMEONE PLEASE DIAGNOSE.....

edgystud3nt

I'm having almost the exact same problem. I am almost certain that it is not the IACV. I've tested my IACV with an ohmmeter and it registers at 22 ohms. When my car starts in this freezing weather, it immediately stalls. Then I have to let the car warm up, while keeping the idle at 1500rpms because it starts to buck at around 1000 rpms. Has anyone had any problems like this and solved it?

getflushed

Do you also have skipping if you take off when its cold? And slowly goes away when warm? What would cause it to be so pronounced when cold its almost like its running lean because if I turn the ign on and let it prime then hold the gas peddle down for a few seconds it will start fine no matter what but will still skip when I drive it , if I press the accelerator I don't notice it its only when I gently push the peddle I notice it lots when its cold, when its warm and I'm crusing at 40 kms and gently push the peddle to 1/8 I can very slightly feel it, I'm sure its because its running lean but not 100 percent I'm really hoping its just a dirty maf I'm going to clean it at noon and my throttle body tonight ill let you know if anything changes.

getflushed

Its not the maf I cleaned it good its still doing it any other suggestions?

iTrader: (15)

Did you buy it used? Sounds like you have a valvebody mod. It is jerking and not slipping right?

You mean engine misfiring? Or transmission slipping/pausing?

Sounds like weak spark, fuel delivery issue, or a vacuum leak. How old are your spark plugs? Do you have updated coil packs? Have you ever changed your fuel filter assembly?

You probably want to check for any vacuum leaks as well. It may be MAF related (going out, but not dead), however I would check the other things first.

getflushed

Hi there, my plugs are brand new! Coils I'm not to sure about but I can tell its not a miss, itslie a sticky spot. Its definitely a air fuel problem I believe. I have gone out today a drove frove frove to figure this out, it only does it when its cold, I was wrong about it when driving as well only when its cold as soon as its warm its gone, the fuel filter I don't see it being that because once warm its gone I really think its a sensor of some kind. But what sensor would only act up when its cold, a vaccum leak could be possible, my lines are good. But I hear sometimes with the plastic intakes they warp in the cold and create a leak and once they warm up they expand and seal the leak like I said I haven't owed the car for long enough to know how it starts in the warm, the car is really well maintained at a nissan dealership but I won't take it to a shop till I get an engine light so I'm not paying crazy money for them to spend days figuring it out hahaha it would make sence that its lean because in the cold if I prime the motor and step on the gas and release it. It starts up pretty good. If it was to rich that would flood it wouldn't it???

getflushed

Its definitely not in the tranny like I said, it happens when I start the car and leave it in park, I can tap the gas while in park and it does it to.
