just realized where that harness connects...the hood switch that is right next to your hand in the first pic
its to the right of the harness...the rubber plunger thing

 

any idea what purpose it serves?

prolly lets the car know the hood is closed?

 

HEY im a noob here and my friend has a 02 GLE Maxima...we want to have some "tire burning" fun with it and he says it has TCS and he wants to turn it off! SO DO I!

so im here asking wheres the TCS button...thanks in advance

 

If you have TCS shouldn't there be button......

 

anyways...is there some way to turn the traction control off if it does have it?

 

Umm, the button.

 

your tranny is going to get mad at you and tweak out in safe mode most likely...but button on dash? left of steering wheel maybe?

 

WHERES THE DAMN BUTTON damnit LOL

 

You have got to be kidding me.

 

Please step away from the car and never drive again.

 

yes there should be...lol..But if there isnt a button (um, what does that mean?)

 

i am telling you that it is NOT my car!!! omg

he just bought it...i dont know if there is or theres not a button...i just want to know where it should be if in fact it does have the Traction Control.

Comprende?

 

It's common sense where the TCS button would be. Also there would be a button that says "TCS". Tell him to look around cause that is just a stupid question to ask.

 

if he's so interested in this, why doesn't he GET ON HERE HIMSELF? Then he can TELL US IF THERE IS A BUTTON ON HIS CAR, which you don't seem to know.

This discussion is setting an all-time low even for the n00b thread.

 

the button is located on the left of the steering wheel near the mirror controls. If you don't have it, the car does not have TCS. BTW 'tire burning' =

 

seems as though n00bs are getting dumber by the day.

 

seems as though that's all you talk about every day.

 

LOL ..sent you a PM Law

 

he doesnt have a computer...isnt obvious?...anyways...

why is it so hard to tell me where the damned button is omg...

BTW thanks LA02MAX for the info...and tire burning can be "gay" but i love it LOL

 

1. He has a maxima, but no computer

2. For the 5th time, the BUTTON IS ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, IF THE CAR HAS TCS. IF THE BUTTON IS NOT THERE, HE DOES NOT HAVE TCS.

3. Your buddy is gonna love it when he ruins his transmission, too

 

I have a computer for sale...would you like to buy one? (seriously)...

But anser me this? How does someone not have a computer now-a-days? And is your friend with you asking these questions so that you can run out to the car and check to see if he has the button or not?

 

gunna be funny when u **** yourself from the tranny ****** up,.. have fun though,..FWD tire burn out = gay

im callin BS on the "FRIEND",.... kinda one of those,.... "yeah ha i read in a magazine that the best way to get peanut butter off ur b@lls is to have a dog lick it . . . " ,..

 

LOL!!!!!!!!

 

ok boys....be nice to the n00bs. This thread is a flame-free zone for asking stupid questions.....

 

But asking where a TCS button is located is beyond stupid and talking about "tire buring" is beyond ghay.

 

anyone have an interior shot of a 5.5th gen with the TCS? maybe we can show him the button that way.
Although it might be easier for someone to drive over there and push the damn buttom themselves.

 

You're just jealous because you don't have that magical button.

 

Does he even have it? All this "searching" and questioning.. and still nothing...I mean all he keeps requesting is to (tell him where the button is) WELL, we HAVE told him, and hes probably relaying this info to his "friend." Yet, the button is nowhere to be found.

Essentially, we are headed in one direction and its NOT a complicated solution..it seems like he doesn't have one..there you go. You cant find something that you are looking for if it isn't there in the first place.

Next question?

Maybe we should get Blux to look for it....

I'd say that I don't need buttons to help me drive, but I have an auto.

 

True...but this is the hand-holding thread - to an extent.

 

Clear front side markers??
anyone know a website that has em? I think most people on the board bought em from autodynamic but they no longer carry them.

TIA

 

or....LOOK AT THE OWNERS MANUAL THAT HAS A PICTURE OF ITS LOCATION

 

ebay should have em.

 

damn i hate buyin from egay but I may have to bite the bullet on this one

 

anyone installed a bi-xenon kit on a 00-01 max before? still trying to figure out how to get the highbeams to work.

 

I read in another thread that there is no difference in performance wheather you buy the cheap ebay front strut tower brace or the expensive brand name front strut tower brace. Is this really true?

 

FWIW, while I've only had the Otto FSTB, I can say that I immediately felt the difference. The steering felt much more direct to the slightest input. I've read many a post from people with cheap fleabay FSTBs stating that they never felt it made any difference.

 

yes...they all do the same thing

 

I have the otto as well.....and really only a minor difference with it on or off. I even removed it at an autocross and really didn't feel much change.

FSTB may make a small difference, but it's alot less than any other suspension/frame mods (including polybushings)...it's mostly just to bling up your engine bay.

BTW, the otto IS a "cheap fleabay" FSTB. It's a knockoff of the stillen. I paid $20 for mine on ebay
