5th Gen "I AM NEW HERE BUT HAVE A QUESTION" thread
I'm currently in the process of changing my outer tie rod on my 00 GLE. But the nut that supposedly connects the outer tie rod to inner seems to be just a part of the outer tie rod that's there. So basically there's no loosening the nut then simply unscrewing the outer tie rod, so when I turn the outer the whole piece (inner and outer) turn. Basically I'm unable to remove the outer.
How can I do this? I need the car to drive back to school in a couple hours :-(. Am I seeing things and the nut and tie rod really aren't one? Or is there a way to remove this... Help pleaseee

Alright, I figured that. I went and bought some PB blaster because the WD40 wasn't getting the job done. I guess I'll let that sit for a bit then go back at it. When I turn the nut I should be turning it clockwise which would be moving it away from the outer tie rod correct?
All these "quick and easy to-do" jobs manage to be a royal PITA for me and my car. Rust galore is terrible for working with.

hey guys, just bought myself my first maxima, it's an 02 auto. i love it!
Looking to do a CHEAP/INEXPENSIVE pop charger (looking to keep it mostly stock) any suggestions?
also, looking for an inexpensive front lip, any suggestions on where to look?

Is there a way to tap into the manifold to get manifold vacuum pressure? I can't tap into my intake piping and am wondering whether I could splice into the evap hoses or any of the other connections on the back of the DEK.
I need to reconnect my power steering vacuum and also will need a vacuum line for a BOV in future

hey guys,im planing on changing my turn signal to a clear lens and would like to know if anyone here done it. i looked online for a clear lenses to replace current ones but cant find anything, maybe someone has a link or something. im kind of scared doing cuz my friend melted his headlights in the oven :S

ok that sort of awnsers my q but, where specifically is it, i finished my custom CAI today and wanted to hone in on accuracy of iat sensor, if its located on the mnifold itself then ive done a pretty good job of cooling that air dwn.
Junkyard. You'll probably have to replace the entire fascia.
you can also try to see if someone has a non-working HVAC control. Make sure you indicate you need an AUTO HVAC control, as the manual one doesn't have a screen.

i noticed a lot of headlights with no chrome, so are they painted or i can buy them like that somewhere? also has anyone had problems with the *** warmers, the one on drivers side is barely working.
stillen makes a good lip kit.
AE style headlights. You can open them up and black them out or buy them for about $80 for the pair.
I have a good one for you guys. In my 03 with Bose. Ever since I purchased the vehicle, the radio display only illuminutes as the lights come on. No song display, etc. AM/FM worked well and steering wheels controls worked well, but no cd.
I bought a used radio(mine had a cracked face) and installed it. No sound. Only a heartbeat type noise from the speakers. So I re-install my other and same thing..No more sound..
Thoughts?
Checked fuses under the hood and to the left of the steering wheel. All are good.

Fuses seem ok, unless I am overlooking a location(under hood and to the left of the wheel right)
The wires have been cut before, but its odd that I had audio before. Perhaps I moved a wire.
It was a salvage yard so its very possible. Hard to find these units I have learned!!
Any kind of reset or fuse I am missing?

Fuse # 56, 15 amp, under the hood by the battery. This powers the head unit and CD changer memory.
Fuse # 67, 15 amp, under the hood by the battery. This powers the sun woofer.
There is no reset that I know of. What maybe happened is that one of the splices pulled apart when you were changing units. I'm a believer in soldering splices which would prevent something like this.
There are 3 fuses associated with the Bose. 10 amp fuse # 1 left of the steering wheel. This powers the head unit and the CD changer.

I appreciate it. Late last night I was going through the connections(which BTW I didnt do) and noticed a few weak ones.
The radio started working again so hopefully thats my only issue!!
I appreciate all the help fellas. Before I finish the install Im gonna get it ipod ready. I believe I saw a thread somewhere about this.
This might be a somewhat weird question.
Sometimes, and by sometimes i mean about 4/10 times when i shift from first to second, the shifter feels like the gear grinds, but there is no grind sound.
Is this typical? Does not happen on any other gears but second. I'm using MT-90 GL4 gear oil. And no, i do not have trouble engaging the gear, furthermore, its regardless of the car being warm or cold.
This is a 5 speed.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I got a 2001 I30 with 137k mi on it. Every once and awhile the car develops a miss when in gear (not sure if it does it in park), but if you jump on it (say..getting onto the freeway) it'll clear out. It doesn't seem to do it cold because I had to drive >7 miles before I saw the issue (it's the wife's car, she told me about the prob but it never did it for me). The car seems low on power even when it doesn't have a miss and gas mileage is down from normal by about 1.5-2mpg. I don't have a CEL. I just changed the plugs and they were clearly original but it didn't change anything. I'm thinking O2 sensors (my car is from CA so I have 4, right?) or a coil pack. My hesitation is, from the searches I've done on here, these things would throw a code. I need some help before I just throw money at this thing. Thanks

When my coils started to go I'd get intermittent misfires like that too. Having your own scan tool is a real benefit when trying to deal with them.
I know this question has been asked before, since i not only searched this forum and went through multiple pages, but i also search google. I sorta got an answer, but not an exact answer like i want.
I have an automatic transmission, when i'm in drive and am accelerating to 45mph i like to shift from D to 3 to accelerate faster than if i left it in drive. My question is, is that bad for my transmission? I know your not supposed to shift an automatic like a manual, but is shifting into 3 from drive bad for it?
Please no answers like "if you want to shift, get a manual" or "automatics suck" lol thanks

First Nissan
Ok guys I just bought my first Nissan Maxima, I have only ever owned Civic's and a few Stang's. Its a 02 3.5L 6MT blue in color. I love the handeling and power of it so far. Are there any major problems I should look out for besides the obviuos I have read so far.
I am planning on lowering it, maybe a lip , and a better set of shoes. But the old lady doesnt want another modded car so my options for mods have to be subtle.And Im not posting pics of a car you can see everytime you search 02 maxima on google

Sometimes old wives tales just won't die.
If there is a whining noise coming from the power steering pump when the car just idles and the steering wheel not turned (if turned, the whine gets slightly louder), then its safe to assume that the pump is faulty?
Also, no leaks, yes the fluid is clean, replaced it with Dextron 3.

Hi, two questions here.
1.) Is it possible to change out the factory Oil Temperature gauge for an aftermarket digital one? Meaning, could I pop out the old one, and put the digital one in its place? I'd be using the one at this link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...84.m1436.l2649)
2.) I have a manual climate control unit, and the sliding button **** thing is missing. I know its not a big deal, but it's driving me crazy and I would really like to replace it. Does anyone know where I could find one?

No. The transmission would downshift if you stomped on the gas pedal, so you doing it manually isn't any different. And if you want to control the shifting as if you had a manual trans, go ahead. Again, its you or the little box under the console. If shifting the transmission manually was so bad for it, why would they put in a shift lever with the different gear ranges?
