new to the site

hey im new to the site,
and once i got on this site it inspiried me to mod my car .
so since im new to everything i began researching alot.
so far i have the greddy on the way and i cant wait... but i have a few questions that need to be cleared up.

1] Whats Ecu reflash? And will i need it after installing a exhaust and a Fujita CAI? And who does ECU reflashes cheap?

2] Where do i buy good MF towels?

3]How do i remove swirls all over my car without buying a dozen scratch remover bottles? And how do you remove deep scratches?

4]When removing the emblem, is the emblem painted behind it or is there gonna be a white spot behind it?

5]Ive had the same clicking+ shhhh sound that alot of people are having wen the car is warming up traveling from 5mph -20ish... i've found [on here]that the cause is the belt.Where can i get it checked other then the nissan dealer?

6]lastly, im buying a Fujita CAI.... does it add a good growl to the car?
(someone describe the sound lol or vid?) and how low does it rest in the engine? il be scared of driving thru water after installing it.
and if the engine does get cloged because of the CAI, can i just replace it and blame it on the stock Intake?

Thanks alot, BTW i drive a Black 06 Maxima
and some of ur rides look Sweet

ask one of the moderators to move it to the 6th gen section for you. It'll be easier that way.

Question #1: Ask this in the 6th gen forum

Question #2: Costco has a pack of 24 yellow mf towels. I think I paid like $11.84 or so for them a few months back.

Question #3: research this in the detailing forum on this site. You will find your answer.

Question #4: Use dental floss then wax the area afterwards.

Question #5: 6th gen forum

Question #6: 6th gen forum

you are asking your questions in the wrong forum

Ask your questions in the 6th gen forums here...
http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=48

Last I checked the newbie thread to ask questions is only in the 5th gen forums...why don't you start up a newbie thread in the 6th gen forum

if you dont search, you will be flamed. if you have a question, it most likely has been answered. but if you look and still don't find it, then creating a thread is more then welcome.

btw, microfiber towels at costco = the cheapest place to find. 24 pack for around 10 dollars + or - $2
