I have seen some claims that the pedal came on cars without the hsld. They seemed to be a common mod for a lot of people due to their looks and not terrible cost.
If the rest of the car is completely stock then the chances are pretty good, but the code is the real way to tell.

Was this the thread? The one it links to seems to have a solid answer. Which isn't unplugging the battery.

The code for the HLSD equiped 6 speed is RS6F51H. The 'H' suffix denotes the Helical device. The 6F I believe denotes 6 forward gears. Other suffixes I know of include 'A' and 'V'. My '98 Maxima had RS5F50A. The 'A' meant the car had a regular diff. But my old SE-R has RS5F32V and of course the 'V' represented the viscous coupling limited slip diff. Perhaps someone could confirm for us that their non helical equiped transmission is coded RS6F51A.

Orignally I had the ugly 16 inch rims that the rim covered where this piece is tapping on my new 6 spokes...when the wheel spins.

Can someone point me to the direction of a master thread or thread(s) with regards to the sub cutting out?
Have a '00 GLE with the Bose setup, the sub dies and comes back. Seems to work better in the summer, lately in the last couple of weeks has not worked at all.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

Can I raise the rear of my '03 6-spd Maxima with a floor jack centered under the rear axle beam? Risks/considerations? Also, what is the best floor jack location in the front (so that I can raise the car & put jack stands under the stock jack pad locations)?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Edit - I see that you already got the answer. Sorry if my response was misleading at all.

ran the 1/4 mile tonight
Ok so I took my stock 2002 auto max to the track tonight to see what she'd do in the 1/4 mile...did 5 runs and the best I could pull was a 15.173
that sound pretty normal? I was hoping for like a 14.9 or atleast 14 flat. I did get a lot of tire spin, running Nitto Extreme 450's 225 width. I'll scan in the timeslips if anyone wants to see.

IIRC, people have run in the mid to high 14s with a stock AT 02-03 Max. I know Gooey did it for one.

I have looked all over this site, can't get a straight forward answer..or i'm using the wrong terms to express what i'm trying to say.
I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima GXE/SE and I believed I hooked up my AE HU just fine.
I purchased the wire harness and color matched them and grounded the unit near the car's computer ( it was bulky and shielded in the center console)
The only thing is ever since the install...all i'm getting is a high pitch sound.
I ran the rca wire from the HU to the AMP on the passenger side of the car....and the remote and power wire on the drivers side.
When I removed my factory HU, it said Clarion underneath...it would have said BOSE if it was right?!? I thought I got the wrong harness but it clearly said 1995 and up for non-bose system. Does the non-bose system in the 2000 Maxima have crossovers or amplifiers that i'm not aware of that could cause this high pitch noise? Would getting the Scoshe OEM Amplifier Adapter make a difference on a non-bose system?
Thank you for your patience in reading this...thanks for any help.

Also, the Bose setup uses a 2 ohm system, while the non-bose is 4 ohm, IIRC...

Not trying to be a wise-guy, I just don't think you'll get many responses from the seasoned players on this newbie thread regarding such a topic. It's prolly been discussed. I'm interested in the answers as I am running bone stock too, but feel a 235/45-17 size would yield many more hi-perf tire options. Good luck!
