.....This brought back memories of my old Chevy diesel! I had the same problem and it would slam down on me all the time. Sorry, just remember how angry it would make me...

 

Washed her and smoked my clear corners with PlastiDip Smoke. Then added some dings to my rear door and fuel door via lawnmower and a rock pile my kids made in the yard. It matches my front quarter dent nicely! Thank god I didn't break a window.

 

^^^^^That looks sharp.^^^^^^

 

The corners or the new dents? lol. Thanks

 

Today i replaced the following on both sides

Lower control arms with ES bushings & moog ball joints
ES sway bar bushings
Moog tie rod ends
Rocca endlinks

And an OEM high pressure power steering hose

I am exhausted, 96 degrees and no shade.

 

Replaced front brakes and rotors. Thank God for no more shaking when stopping.

 

Oh shoot, I didn't even see the dents. It looks like an angle reflection or something.

How tough was this? How long did it take you? I ask because I think I'm next on this.

 

Replaced the front variable timing solenoid and finally got the thing running right. Now I just have to come up with the time to pull the cd player apart and fix that pesky ribbon cable. Along with whatever other issues come up from a crappy previous owner.(car was bought with blown motor from over heating, bald tires, abandoned, and had the trunk full of items like someone was living in it.) I got a good deal on it though so I'm not complaining.

 

Went and picked up some factory side skirts (rocker mouldings) from the junkyard to install of my 00. I just need to sand them down and paint them to match since my color blue was only on 00 and 01 maxima and all the side skirts came from 02 and 03's so there's no way to find them in my color.

 

slapped on some new shoes for my baby

 

That's sick ^^^^. What kind of rims are those? They'd look mighty fine in chrome on my Max!

 

thanks! i'd have to kill you if i told you the brand is Drifz and the model is Nos i think.. i got a steal of a deal on craiglist that's why i got them, i don't know if they have them in any other finish because i think they're discontinued

 

Hahaha, I know what you mean!! I love them, they remind me of the C6 rims. They look really sharp with your color scheme. I have Enkei Bortex and I'm not a fan of them.

Thanks man, I'm going to start the search!!

 

i wouldn't pay any more than 4 bills for a set with tires if you do find them, since they are pretty old and are discontinued.. i got 5 wheels with tires for $300

 

Good looking out man, I appreciate it. That's a hell of a price for those rims, good choice. I've been looking for something a little more five star-ish, these are perfect. Now, the hard part. I gotta find me some.

 

It only took me about an hour or two and it was fairly easy. My next task is to replace the backs as they are starting to rust.

 

It looks like a you bought them. I'm gonna do some looking into this. I wonder if the smoke or a shiny black would look better with my black paint?

 

Finally tinted my windows!!!!
15% all the way round.

 

Put in my ebay motor mounts.

They are the smaller
manual ones that have a much much harder rubber...
Yea it feels like poly to me.

Stock front mount was destroyed
which was causing the clunking, but the rear was fine.
Going to do the side mounts later this week as I see the passenger one cracked too.

Just food for thought why the manual had the harder, smaller rubber mounts is
that in drive the autois a noise, vibrating *****.
But when I slap it in neutral it's fine.

 

had to replace the starter because the car died on me at a gas station and wouldn't start up, $180 down the drain

 

After only two years I finally got around to programming my garage doors to the Home Link buttons. :-)

 

Wait a minute! Isn't that wheels off from 6th Maxima?!

 

That's awesome!!

 

Lowered my front end with some tein springs! waiting for them to settle in!

 

How many inch is the drop. And how did it ride is it stiff. ??

 

Nope, 350z - better offset.

Finally, I am back!!! Been MIA from the org for almost a month. Had my first kid a little over a month ago and also bought and moved into a new house. And even in the midst of the craziness I still managed to install my QT link in the rear, and I finally got the shop to install (for now) new muffler a tip.

 

I just got the same rims! I was surprised how flush the front is with them. Heres my car, I just bought it after my old maxi was totaled:

 

Just looked at it.
It's broken....

Part out soon.

 

What's broken?

 

The Maxima got a much needed rest today after a late night at the USF meet.

 

Car died while i was just cruising and wouldn't start again.
Checked for codes but the obd scanner wouldn't link to the ecm.

Checked the ecm for fried chips/traces. Nothing...

Can't figure it out.


also, I installed the cabin filters I ordered last week cuz I'm depressed. lol

 

Did you check the fuse for the ECM?

 

I did.
I think it was fuse 10 and 12.
Somebody suggested that in my thread.

If you're interested.
God bless.

Dang man, sorry. That sucks.

That's the first thing I thought.

 

no no. it's nice now!
check that last post in thread.

No more daily driving the bmw

 

Hahaha, good for you brother!!! I think we have all been there. You get frustrated and you tend to overlook things! An outside pair of eyes can be very helpful!

 

Installed some new NWP goodies. That torque link is by far my new favorite mod to the Max!

 

I want the torque link so bad.... It's the only NWP product I don't have.

 

Did I mentioned it was only $70 shipped to my door?

 

Rub it in why don't ya..... That's a good deal man.... I wish I could find that.
