Thanks for the advice everyone! I bought my first Maxima today for $4150. Well below the blue book and runs perfect. I can't wait to add mods to it.

 

Here's a thought. I replaced my MAF last week on my 2001 and in my case it solved my stalling problem. While trying to figure out what the problem was I came across consumer reports which gave the Maxima a bad review for 3 items: The MAF, the ignition coils, and the idle control motor. For me I started with the MAF, as you did. Perhaps look into the idle control motor problems that others have had. I'm no expert but just thought I'd throw an idea out there. good luck

 

Hey guys, dont know too much about coilovers...I have some DUMB questions...What is missing from this picture of these coilovers?

1. The tophat on the rear two...
2. The adjustable dampening ***** missing on the rear two...

Is that it? Would I have to buy anything else for these if I were to purchase them? Are the parts I'm missing readily available for purchase SEPARATELY? Thanks for any help on this issue.

 

I think you use the OEM top hats for the rears.....

 

what about the dampening adjustment ***** for the rears?

ALSO: can the actual plastic part for the dampening adjustment part (the actual plastic **** piece) fall off??

 

I have aftermarket headlights, the ones that you buy off of ebay and i was wondering how you convert it into HID or a better lighting. some people say you cant and some say you can, but ive seen pictures of them on a maxima and its aewsome only if i can do it. any suggestions.

 

retrofitting new projectors.....or buying the 02-03 HID headlights...

Anyone have an answer to my question above Irish's response???

 

what, you don't trust my response?

 

Nobody trust your responses josh.

 

lol...not at all...I posed another question apart from my initial one. If you notice in the picture, the ***** are missing on the rears. Is that possible? Could the plastic portion be gone and only the metal adjustable portion (underneath the plastic parts) remains to be adjusted?

I called a local dealer and asked them possible scenarios for why the black plastic piece on the back struts would be missing. They said they've never ever heard of a issue where the entire dampening adjustment **** was gone (including the metal part underneath it?) because it actually goes down INTO the strut for adjustment. At the time i called, I didn't ask if its possible for the black adjustment **** to just pop off and leave the swiveling metal lever underneath it. Thats why I'm confused.

ALSO..if ANYONE can get me a pic of the rears *CLOSEUP* of the **** and tell me if that **** really does come off...I would REALLY appreciate it! AND it would definitely clear up all my confusions

Why you still not on AIM? Jeez man...dont make me call you!

 

Dude I'm at work! I don't get off till mid-night.

Anyone? Post #1451????

 

Hey everyone, I was looking for new headlights for my 2000 Maxima. It is black so I figured that black halo headlights would look good on them. I was wondering if the ones they sell on Ebay work good? What have been your experiences with purchasing those?

 

From what I've read, the Ebay lights have a poor light output. You're better off buying OEM HID's either used or new ($$$$). You won't be happy with the ebays.

 

Thanks for the info about the headlights. Do you know about engine covers like the one below. This is off a 2003 Maxi, not sure if it fits on a 2000 SE.

 

The 5.5 gen covers don't fit. The AE (Anniversary Edition) cover is the best looking one for your car IMO.

 

the only cover that fits the 3.0 is the AE cover.
you can order the cover and hardware from daveb

 

I'm going to have to go ahead and call Repost on that.

 

Since I am new, I don't have access to PM's yet. But if you could tell him I am interested in the cover, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

 

do a search for him and you can get his number off his profile.

 

you didnt tell him where to buy it from

Post #1451? I really need some info..PLEASE

 

patience
a person with the answer hasnt read your post yet.
you arent being ignored

 

what good are you - i want an instant response!

 

"Oh look, I can talk to the n00b any way I want, because I've been here so long, and my name says 'Cool' in it!"

 

so u think ur "cool" becuz ur name says it and cuz ur a nerd and u kno EVERYTHING...

 

hence why i keep bumping it...reminders are crucial..

 

Ok, so i got the stocks on a 2000 which are like milky white. I am trying to get the clear BMW type of look. What have some of you guys done to replace your headlights?

 

Once again......people switch to the 02-03 HID lights. They have great output and worth every penny. Unless you plan to retrofit the e-bay projector lights with different projectors, they are trash.

 

put sylvania silverstar bulbs in your stock housing...clean white light output

 

I need some of those once I clean off the hazing/scratches and put the eyelids onto my car....

 

get the fogs too

 

I have aftermarket fogs that are ready to be installed..not the stockers...do they have bulbs for these fogs? I would think that they would work...

Fog Light Linky

Also, the bulbs you are talking about are the ones without the blue tint in them..they are just CLEAR

 

Anyone selling 02-03 HID headlights??? Let me now. I"m interested.
