This is my 2000 I30 - Just looking to do some minor modifications - Hope you like - Any ideas on wheel set up or offset would really help - Thinking of debadging it and putting the nissan cefiro badges - Any ideas would be appreciated .

 

Ugh - I hate when this happens

 

nice ride man, i wanted an i30 similar to yours before i bought my i35.

 

Thanks bro , I did notice looking online that the I35 is the I30 predecessor , But then I get confused when I see Cefiro logos and Maxima logos on some photos.

 

While putting the front end on hold - Finding out its hard and expensive to find a hood - I decided to locate and change my cabin air filter

 

Wish my 1996 I30 had factory air cabin filters.

 

Upgraded some bulbs today to LED , Rear brakes and reverse and inside interior

 

Those were plug and play? Where did you get them? Thanks.

 

Yea bro plug ad play - I bought them on ebay real good prices for bag filled LEDs - I know the reverse is 921 then you have the brakes are 7443 and the signal is 1156 then I did the interior doors which some are 168 and the dome light I bought a square one which is universal and it fitted right in there - I did a brake light check to make sure when applying brakes and parking lights are on you can notice when your applying the brakes . Gonna do my side markers and work my way to the front but again the front repair is on hold . Gotta get the rest of the car up to par

Nice looking car you have - I see you got yellow high beams

 

Awesome thanks for the quick reply, they`re not my highbeams where i live we have to have daytime running lights. I`ll grab a couple off ebay right now, good luck with the front end i have to say this is one of my most reliable beaters i`ve owned.

 

No problem bro - I have to see if I have that but I thought the head lights stay on and I thought you had to set it on the switch . I'm still learning lol

 

Just did a tune up since I dont know when the last time this vehicle had one , Seems like everything on here is OEM - Runs a heck of alot better - I did notice this are platnum irridiums - Gap them at .44 - I just had to be careful for the ones in the back - I cracked two but lucky me they swapped it for me for free - BUt those have to be done in silence just in case you dont hear them crack lol - Pretty easy so far working on this car

 

Im about to try those Iridium IX plugs when i do my tune up.

 

Where did you get your cabin air filters? I want to replace mine also.

 

I got those on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cabin-Air-Filter-Carbon-Style-Element-for-Nissan-Maxima-Infiniti-I30-I35-/130998228063?hash=item1e801a545f&vxp=mtr

I replaced my clock bulbs today - I dont know why it looks purple but its white lol

 

I changed both front lower control arms and sway bar links - It was pretty easy - Plus I got the parts reasonably priced on ebay where for the same parts outside are almost couple hundred when I got the whole set up for $90

 

Changed my leaky power steering hose

 

Cleaned up my battery today and replaced my PAL fused

 

howd you get the clock out?

 

I have a DIY here is the link - this should help bro

But you remove the vent below -

Its not too confusing....What you know as an Infiniti, is known as Cefiro in Japan (and a couple of other Asian countries), Maxima throughout the rest of the world, apart from US/Canada where the Maxima has a different front/rear end than everyone else. Same deal for the A32/Generation 4 Cefiro/Maxima/Infiniti models also.

Im from New Zealand and have a Maxima that looks identical to an Infiniti I30 https://maxima.org/forums/5th-genera...03-maxima.html

 

Thanks for the info - I checked out yours and I love the rear wiper - I was thinking of Rebadging the car with a CEFIRO but I couldnt find any for the trunk

 

No probs re the info. The rear wiper was fitted to all our A33's except the lowest spec version, very handy on a misty drizzly day or when the rear window is just dirty.

This is an A33 Cefiro bootlid (trunklid) badge

And this is an A33 JDM 2nd hand import Cefiro which we got here in numerous numbers, showing the trunklid badge position in pic 8, from our version of Ebay. Its an early one with the smaller bumpers etc. In pic 4, if you look closely at the dash top above the gauges, it has cracked, which is a fairly common issue here with both the JDM import Cefiro and Maxima sold new here.

What's the bulb size for the clock

 

Bulb size not to sure but I think its called a T2 the part number is in my photo - I just did OEM instead of trying LED or after market cause they arent easy to screw in

 

Ok cool sounds good thanks

 

Thanks bro thats what I been looking for now I got to figure out the money difference cause it says RM 50.00

 

Well I finally put some new struts on the car - It definitely needed it found a cheap set on ebay all four for $100 -

But until I decided my rim and tire set up then I will be going full coil over struts - But its rides like a dream for now on stock wheels

If anyone has any ideas what offset is perfect for this type of vehicle and tires size even the best wheel size please let me know - I dont want to go ghetto big looking for a size that is classy and doesnt kill my speedometer , that I can lower the vehicle but not slammed and has a lip - I was thinking 20 offset -

 

 

nice work man, I ordered my cabin air filters and recieved them a few days ago, thanks for the link! so much dirt came out of the original one lol.

 

Interesting job - But I changed my starter today - It was hard but a easy hard believe it - Other then taking that air filter box off this vehicle is not to bad to work on

 

The starter on these cars are the easiest to change.

Older Tundras and Titan/Armada are the worst, as you need to remove the entire intake manifold to get to the starter.

 

Changed out my stereo - and added a dash mat to protect my dash board from the florida sun

 

Did my brakes today - upgraded my rotors - Plus I found out that I have I35 rear brakes lol

 

Might wanna look into motor mount and Iacv shorting out the ecu....do it before its too late....easy fix that will make you feel safer IMO.

 

Yeah I've bought the same lower control arms for my 2003 maxima and they've seems to be looking like a well products

 

Good stuff I need to do this

 

194 work on reverse too and interior door too I just did mines

 

I think I have the same one leaking how hard was it to do
