hey guys i've had my maxima for a while now and i just recently joined the org. (i just found out about it)

i did the 60K tune up and i an feel the difference

i spent about : $334.00


everything that i did

oil change

oil filter

fuel filter

pcv valve

top up on all fluids brake, tranny, rad.

clean engine bay

spark plugs

seam foam the motor

clean air filters with k&n air cleaner

changed the belt

cleaned the throttle body

tighten the throttle body cables

new knock sensor

new egr valve

reset ecu

feels like a brand new car

highly recommended

 

Changed THE belt? Which belt?
What kind of spark plugs?
Where'd you get it done?

That seems like a good price.

 

you prolly couda saved ALOT of money if you did it urself. but I have also been thinking about doing it...seeing as...well...my car is going on 79k and it has 1 tune up in its WHOLE life and that was at 30k

 

i did it myself

 

Cleaning Engine Bay, added additional 20 HP. Made my car run so much better.
Just joking.

 

Look at all the stuff he did/replaced.. not a lot at all.

 

look at the list again. The knock sensor will be around $100 it self not to mention if he used syntheic oil for his engine and tranny. Just those three things could get him over $200

 

Why did the knock sensor and EGR valve require replacement at that low mileage?

I have 57,000 miles on mine and none of that stuff requires replacement. As well it idles perfectly and has never had the throttle body or IACV cleaned.

 

i have 127K miles on my car and i havent done any of that except for plugs and knock sensor. Ive really been considering replacing the egr and cleaning out my intake, do you think that it will be worth it?

 

I have 116K and have only done sparks and oil and such. Up on the next comming weeks will be Oil/Tranny/Sparks(NGK finally).

Is there really a need to replace the PCV if there is nothing wrong with it? I cleaned mine with Carbon Cleaner and a tooth brush, but is replacing really necesarry if its not faulty?

 

Damn i got 15hp, what did you do to yours that you got extra 5HP. I am just curious.


Anyways, the one i noticed right off the bat was that the TB cleaning, noticed diffrence right away.
