A few things to ask

So I bought my NISSAN MAXIMA 3.0 V6 (A33) 6Cyl (VQ30DE) a little while ago, was fine and all, took it to the automatic car wash one day and didn't turn off engine so water got into the intake, immediately was something wrong could barely get over 40kms/h and when it did it sounded rough, took it to my mechanic and had the intake replaced but something still feels off with it, is lacking the power it had beforehand. He also fixed my airbag light which was flashing intermittently, anyway months pass and the flashing of the airbag light comes back, I took it back to my mechanic and he wasn't able to connect to the computer to turn off the airbag light again, what to do lol ?


Also I am thinking of installing an cold air intake system but in my country just unsure what's going to fit my model, every time I am searching 2002 Maxima's its usually the VQ35 ones that come up no VQ30's, but when I search a year lower some come up but none that ship to my country (Australia), any recommendations would be great.
as far as I know this is the only place selling a decent intake: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/...m-maxima-00-01
unsure if I should do so or would just run into more problems since I can't connect to the computer to even clear the airbag code ?

don't waste your time with any intake that sucks in hot under hood air. check out this link to how I modified the stock air box..
