Ok so installed the axle,the tick noise went away but a screech grinding noise remains, I'm sure is the bearing
No issues ,two hr job in the baking Texas heat'
Lots if water breaks and also changed the ps suction hose.
If it leaks fluid after this it has to be the pump,i hope not

Replaced my A/C condenser today. In 85 degree heat. Without removing the radiator from the car. Had some problems with the hardline on the driver side. Got the connection as tight as I could, but the line of the condenser was starting to rotate. The metal in these things are quite malleable, so I'm kinda worried I might have damaged it. The litmus test will be Friday when I get the A/C recharged.

Well, I decided to charge the A/C system myself. Saved almost $100 doing it. Starting off I did find a leak on the high pressure line between the compressor and the condenser. Retighten and fixed it up. So far no leaks, A/C is icy cold. Even the low pressure line is getting frosty which is it did before I had problems. Now to monitor for a couple days and see where we're at.

^ nice i need to recharge mine as well.
I installed my old "spare" indash in the maxima today. Not too happy with metra kit fitment. It has a small gap below the bezel/above climate control. This seems to vary as i tighten/loosen screws holding deck in.
Im gonna go back at it when time allows to finish a few more wires for subs/amp.

lexol
Lexol is the best stuff iv ever used on leather.: Smells strong in car for few days but leaves leather clean/supple!

^I don't like it because it's sticky like honey after it dries and
you have to buff it out with a towel to get it smooth.
Don't know if that's normal for a conditioner.
I'm used to more liquidity stuff that's easy to wipe off like armerall or miguers stuff.
Check out all that grime in the cracks.
That shiny stuff on the leather is actually my butt juices and body oils. lol
Steamed, before conditioning.
Took off all the grime and oils.
Don't think a cleaner would of done that good of a job.

I fabricated my own axel back 3" exhaust. Thats what I did with my 5.5 gen today. I bought a Carltanator a few months back which only is the resonator no pipping. So with cattman out of no longer making parts and the fact that all of the exhaust parts that are nice are enormously overpriced I ordered pipping and a muffler and made one myself. I can weld, have a brain, and mechanical ability so why not. It wasn't too difficult and it still needs a tweak or two but I'm extremely happy with it. Ad to that the fact that it cost me fractions of the price and I'm even more happy.

Today i parked my maxima in garage for the first time. Ever since we bought the house...its been a long slow process organizing belongings.
Accomplishments Once inside; I rewired my fogs/Installed leds in doors, lisc plate, reverse lights (festoons are coming for domes)/ Finished installing a dual din.
Next up is Focal Speakers in door sitting and waiting/Compass rearview/change all door handles to oem chrome accent gle style/racingline fstb/GAB re-do/plus a long list..mostly visual mods for now.

Oh well i'm already a law breaker since I "modified" my vehicle by lowering it and tinting my windows what's one more? lol

It's very doable. Patience is a must and I'm not going to claim its as pretty as a cattman system. It sounds great and I have probably $140 maybe a little less into it.

Did a pan drop and tranny flush.
If you want amsoil stuff talkinghorse will get you a good price. http://forums.maxima.org/group-deals...ubricants.html
Anyway. Used a sweet inline filter after the cooler. Should be good for some years.

I guess I should also drop the pan .... Also, where did you buy the filter?
