I changed out the bulbs for leds in my cluster today, that is an easy mod to do!

 

gave myself a key that can go on a keyring


put the rack on


couldn't decide if i wanted the fairing or not- was having trouble getting it to sit flat and got tired of messing with it. took it off, threw the bike rack up and this is how it will sit until i decide if the added noise truly bothers me

 

My babe is in my friend's shop garage getting brakes job done and $#&!!*$* Catalytic Converter replacement, and once she all fixed up I"m gonna lowered her some more!

 

Did an at home alignment.
Turned out real good.
It's still acouple mm to the left but I'm going to tinker with it some more tomorrow.


Way better then how it was @ 10 o'clock.. Now it's at 11:58

Did it on the floor using this guy's suggestion.

Got a new phone and tried out an effect just for fun

Home made racing slicks FTW?

 

That's what a 300 shot of nawz does boys
....and bad toe settings.

 

p0102 and p1102....limped to autozone for those codes.

Anyway I got the new MAF and a filter while I was at it today. Installed and did the pedal dance to reset the ECU. I didnt disconnect the battery, oops. All seems to be fine now. Damn that MAF was expensive!

 

Changed the in cabin air filter.

 

Replaced main cat with a gutted cat. Not very exciting but kind of a first step to replacing the precats.

 

Installed the BRM 3" exhaust and replaced my front valve cover gasket

 

Installed led's in the car--total spent $14.00.
Installed speedometer led backlight--total spent $17.00.
Installed new ABS sensor.
And a wash/wax

 

Did the fog light mod yesterday, turned out real good.


Fog light rewire

 

I gutted the precat's
before gutted and off the car


Front precat before being gutted- look at that crap clogging it up


Front precat after being gutted


Rear precat before being gutted- metal type of material


Rear Precat Gutted- nice and hollow now




I pressed in my ES motor mounts.
i changed My water pump and thermostat and my Timing Chain Tensioner all with Genuine Nissan Parts. <----- i jumped timing doing the water pump and had to take off the timing cover to set the timing marks correctly only to put it all back together and still have the timing off 1 tooth.
now i have to redo that crap again this week. Grrrrrrr

I went off topic a little bit, But the last of it is

replaced the Radiator with a $61 koyo from rockauto.
replaced both belts.

changed all spark plugs with NGK/Nissan Single tip Platinum Spark Plugs. i had a hookup and got them for $8 bucks each at Star Nissan rather then the $13 they had them listed for.
cleaned my throttle body replaced the PCV.

all work was done with the Engine still in the car btw.

 

The front cat was well clogged!
need to do mine here soon at almost 200,000 I bet they're clogged.

 

Hey are these strut braces any good? Reason I ask is because they're so cheap. I'm just getting the front done.

I had one. They are cheap but fairly solid once set up. I had to remove it though once I put on my NWP spacers. It will rub on the IM and I never got around to grinding so it would fit.

 

Ahh okay, thanks mate. I'll go ahead and get these.

 

Took a hard drive down some windy roads thru the woods few nights ago with a buddy, these roads were in bad shape with bumps all over the place.

Long story short, this drive was bumpy enough and fast enough to blow my radiator.

Opened hood next day (which was yesterday) to find a bunch of coolant spray. Ordered new radiator from 1800radiator and got it within a few hours, replaced, good to go now.

 

Changed the oil and oil filter. She seems happy!

 

On the gen 5.5
- Changed wiper blades... Old ones were STUCK
- Ordered oil catch can for it
- Front lip getting repainted
- Front grill getting repainted


On the gen 4
- Took it to work
- Quick wash

 

Your 5.5gen is STILL running?

 

Get my car washed and waxed over the weekend....





Put on new OEM wheels from 2014 Nissan Tiida turbo


Installed A33 Cefiro rear seat with headrests


The best part of the Cefiro rear seat is that it came with center cup holder and small storage compartment:

 

Wow, like that rear seat!!


This past weekend I repainted my grill. Changed the shell from dark gray to silver in order to match the body color.

 

Pressure washed the interior of the car.. got tired of spending money on products that wont clean fabric. Spent $6 and the interior and now it looks better than before.

 

Hey, what color is your Maxima? Is this a stock paint color? Or did you re-paint it?

Thanks

 

That looks like charcoal gray color ^^^^^^^

 

It's grey lustre metallic

 

Today i plasti-dipped my recently bought (used) Racingline FSTB...and installed it on!
Front end seems a tad more planted on take off/bends.

I have way to many PENDING projects tho.

 

Used CarGuage Pro to adjust my idle RPM +100 to 800RPM instead of the stock 700. Feels much smoother that way at idle, and sounds so much better at idle and on decelerations.

CarGuage Pro is an awesome little app for what it's worth. Checked my timing with it, and it was on point at +2.

Anyone need timing advance? I'll do it free for any (no ricers) Max in my area. Doing it on a buddys 01 GLE today and then another 03 Max tomorrow.

 

I discovered what was making my car sound so good. I call it Natures Rumble.



I know this isn't the place but since it's my first post I'll fire some details out. '00 GLE, stock, in desperate need of some rims... Fuel economy is roughly 500 or less km's/ tank? It has been running regular all of its life, will be trying premium soon!

 

I assumed power line was leaking.
But it was bone dry. So moved on to doing arm.






Bushing was trashed. It pulled to the right when I gave it some gas.





I may have over tq the ball joint since pin isn't even close to the nut.



Need another alignment. New bushing put my wheel at 1:00 !
Feels good though steering is solid now.

 

Failed the emissions test evap codes

 

Hit a curb hard. Ran off tge road around a curve:/

 

New passenger CV axle and axle seal

 

Drilled 4 inch Holes on Filter housing instead of using hangers to to GAB mob. Filed edged as smooth as possible (mehh). Enjoyed a nice run and felt the VQ wake up. Best FREE mod in my opinion.

Sitting to the side is all components i need for a sri minus the "right" maf adapter (one i have isnt gonna work)..that will be phase 2 of intake mods.

It what im going to do in a few days im most excited about--NWP block off plate install

 

Wrapped my dash in carbon fiber vinyl that I got off of eBay for way cheap, sorry for the poor quality photo but you get the idea

 

Detailed my engine bay. I bought it a few days ago and it was in need of a good cleaning. Not bad for 15 minutes of work.

Before:


After:

 

Nice Job! wanna do mine now?

 

That looks awesome!!! how did you clean it?
