I have been hearing alot about this OOvi vs. MEvi thing. I know the OOvi means 2000+ supposedly, and I know it is the better of the two, but I am unsure as to which I have.
Mine's a 2000, so does that mean I have an OOvi??
Thanks

Torque converter may be able to be rebuilt, or you could try to buy one from a junk yard and swap it out. I don't think that rebuilding or repairing a TC is a DIY project, but replacing it might be able to be done with basic tools.

But now that it is across my back window I am not sure what I am going to do. I definately do not want the bubble look. But with out the area tinted it looks dumb.

1. What is a 00VI? What does it do?
2. What is a EGR valve? Do i have one on my stock 1996 maxima gle? should i replace it?
3. What would be the best intake to get for my automatic 1996 maxima?
4. What would I have to do to my maxima before I can successfully run a turbo without any problems? How much would it cost? What turbo do most people get for a maxima?
5. What would I have to do to my maxima before i can succesfully run a supercharger without any problems? How much would it cost? What is the most popular kit?
6. What are some more performance upgrades worth doing?

Thanks

Thanks

THEN one time, i turned off my radio and got out to touch it (to make it retract)...then right when i touched it, my girlfriend turned the radio back on (stupid blondes). this caused a buzz/grind/CRAAACK sound. now it's stuck up and i have no idea what to do.

so do i need a new motor? motor AND antenna? thanks in advance.

Are the rims the only way to tell?


Again.
Thank-you in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.

I have been looking into this for about a month and this is the first time I have been told about the rims.

I have a 99 I30t...which from what I have read is the "touring" model correct?

I dont have BBS rims (that I can tell of) but the suspension does have a nice sporty feel to it...smooth, but yet sporty....I also I have 16" rims...thats part of my first question

I should prolly number these...and I am sure I will have more in time...and yes I have been searching for the answers to these

1. The rims thing.....very confusing....I like the ones on it so I am ok with em...but how do I tell....mine are a five spoke design

2. I read that the "T" model came with seat heaters...mine did not...was it a upgradeable option then? if it was...would the wiring be in place for me to add them?
2a. if the wiring is there....then I would really just a need a console with the switches, correct? (I live in az, but having your seats heated is nice when its cold out and you wanna mess with people and have the windows rolled down..LOL)

3. I have factory mats with the "touring" stitched in them...this leads me more to believe I do have a proper "T" model. are there some other mats I can place on top of these because I dont want them getting ruined...I payed a lot of money for this particular car because of the shape it is in...a '99 with 87,416 miles the day I took ownership...I am second owner.....you would swear this car was hardly ever driven...and doing quick math shows the car drove roughly 10,930 miles a year....a quick breakdown shows about 30 miles a day usage....I want to keep it in top notch shape...but also have respectable upgrades

4. Should I have steering wheel controls? I dont...would like to have them if they are available....and how hard are they to install or add to my car?

5. I would like to yellow the fogs...I saw something about these and asked in that thread where I would find these yellow housing pieces....currently I have no wish or plans to re-wire for full time with the fogs...just getting the yellow installed

6. speaking of lights (A BIIIIG improvement over my old car (Acura Legend)..very poor lighting) I would like to get a more BMW HID look with retro'ing in HID's yet.....is there a plug and play kit out there such as McCulloch or something along that line? I am figuring for me to be between 4500k to 6000k as those have the brightest amount of light.

7. Is it hard to run a 4GA power wire for my amp/subs? Where would I feed that through the firewall while doing the LEAST amount of modding or damage?...I like the bose (so far....plan on adding the Pathfinder stereo after I find one and get the LED's changed out as I dont want a orange faced lighted stereo...but want the MP3 capablity...important to me but dont want aftermarket either...personal reasons) but I need a bit more bump...I dont pound around my home but when I out on the road...I like to crank it up and the Bose aint got it all

ok thats enough for the moment....I am sure I will pop up with more...prolly soon knowing me

Thank in Advance for any help regarding these questions

Lucky i was at an intersection with a gas station. When i filled the car up it only took 16.5 gallons on an 18.5 gallon tank. Does anyone know why this may have occurred? Is the walbro pump have a shorter fuel pickup that leaves 2 gallons in the tank? Is there anything i can do to correct this problem?

If I were you I would check for this condition.

I believe I should start by replacing the thermostat, as does everyone who has seen the problem. Is that what it sounds like?

I haven't really done any engine work on this car. Can the thermostat change be done in less than an hour?
