Well the maxi is about to trip 100,000 so i decided to tune her up.
Here is a list of what i am doing.
K sport springs
kyb gr2 struts
Vias Block plate I know this comes with instructions but i thought i remember someone saying they cut stuff out of the manifold?? is this true what are the pros and cons of doing this?
Spark Plugs
Intake Manifold Gasket
Sway bar links
Ball joints
Inner and outer tie rod ends
Upper strut brace
drain tranny fluid and put ??? in it Whats good for the 6speed??

Am i missing anything??
Is there any other small inexpensive mod i can do?
The only mods i have are home made short ram intake and a greddy sp catback and crossed drilled rotors.

When i took the inner tie rod end off, inside the boot there was power steering fluid.... thats not good!! lol is my rack shot?? I have owned it for more than 3 years and have never added fluid and it is still at the max mark on the reservoir. The car did have a small clunk in the front end and some play in the steering but could that be fixed by the other front end parts im installing?

Thanks everyone

one of your tune ups is more of like a suped-up

power steering and brake fluids?
anti-freeze?
fuel filter and cabin filter?

I heard Moog suspension parts will firm up your steering or at least you'll FEEL it. lol

I'm waiting to try Moog brand myself. Got the parts but the weather has me holding off.

Yeah i had to throw in a go fast part, cant wait to get it and put it in. I hope all the new suspension stuff will firm it up a bit.

Anyone have any ideas on the rack? or what oil to use in the tranny?

NWP Spacers as your planning on doing the spark plugs It's a perfect time to consider spacers as well

I use Redline MT-90 in mine. I'll probably put that back in this summer unless there's something better by then.

dont mean to threadjack, but my 2000 5spd max hit the 145k mark. where can i go to view the maintenance schedule? air filter and oil have been changed regularly btw

sway bar end links? I would also jack up your car and look for leaks under the car.

i am doing the end links also. I am doing all the work myself so its up on jack stands now.
I have it all apart, just waiting for the rest of the parts to come in.

For the 5.5 gen 6 speed, I know of no better gear oil than Redline MT-90. When I changed over to it, the shift action got noticeably better... tremdously so in cold weather.

I believe Redline does not eat Bronze like Mobil 1 and most other gl4/gl5 transmission fluids. (Dunoo if the synchros are bronze in these transmissions or not though)

Ok, i ordered 3 quarts of Redline MT-90. I hope it helps because it was starting to get real notchy going in and out of gears.

You'll be amazed.

well all the tune up and a few mod things are done and went well. WOW what a diffrerance the Redline tranny oil made!! The front end is tighter than a ticks *** and the strut and spring combo seem to be working nicely. (kyb gr2 and ksport springs 2" drop all around) The NWP block plate is very nice too hard smooth pull all the way to red line.

Thanks for the help and info to all who did.

Weird question where can i get a maxima.org sticker?? I searched around on here but all the links were dead or put me in a random spot and there is none in the store. Just wondering if they r still available and where to get them.

Thanks
