Do-It-Yourself Maxima Wiki (encyclopedia for how-to information on repair/tuning)

Open to all 1st through 6th Generation Maxima Owners.

I got this idea while seeing how Org users (in particular the 3rd Gen forum) are having to scour discussion threads trying to find a particular symptom or problem they are experiencing with their Maxima. For those who are not familiar with Wikis, they are basically living documents of an encyclopedia where the author is YOU, the Maxima owner/enthusiast. I put up the DIYMW in the attempt to help collect all the information available on the Org, 4DSC.com discussion, and the Internet so that diagnosis, repair, and improving can be made easier. You can upload graphics, PDFs, and/or videos to help explain your Maxima improvement.

DIYMW is FREE (as in beer). It's meant to aide the novice owner who wants to be able to put a little more sound in their Maxima, or the owner that wants to squeeze out a few more horses, or that guy that wants to know just how big his rims under his 6th gen. DIYMW will give credit where credit is due. Anyone who has chased a problem under that hood knows how troublesome it can be to find more information about it.

Visit the Do-It-Yourself Maxima Wiki and help contribute to other owners and enthusiasts as yourself. I'm also recruiting moderators and technicians to make sure the information provided is as accurate as possible.

Help build a library of Maxima information for Maxima owners. Leave the discussion for the Org

 

Good idea, though we already have one of those

http://maxmods.dyndns.org/

 

if DIYMW is anything like wikipedia.com, it is waaaay better than maxmods.org. good work.

 

aksansai, Very nice page and idea, keep it up!

Everyone should spread the word...

 

I'm not seeing how to upload PDF files...

 

Very nice. I've been know to do a few DIY and how-to write-ups (just a few )...will sign up asap. If you need a moderator, let me know...I have plenty of online time to kill. Will need to transfer some of the how-to's off my website

 

this should be a stickie

 

Dude just post 1 thread in the GENERAL forum...

 

Yeah! I'm the first one to post a how-to in the 5th gen upgrades section!!!

 

...this coming from the biggest post ***** on the org (you). I bet you made this very same post "dude just post...." in all of the forums too, so you're doing the same thing, aren't you?

It is in everyone's interest that he posts this information widely, since most of us don't go onto the lame General forum all that much....

Now, run along back to Off-Topic or the 4th gen boards, and do not again intrude onto the 5th gen boards..... We can deal with our own forum, and don't need your help, thanks.

 

yeah, no sh!te, i have never visited the general forum.

 

very usefull...thanks a bunch

 

although I just now subscribed...

Hey Irish,

how did you create your page? Did you just "edit" the category and add your text?

 

Edit the category, and make the title of the particular how-to as a link, using [ ] around the title. Then save. Then back out and click on that link. Then hit edit once you're in the link...

 

Cool deal.. thanks!

 

HNDA ETR - my mistake. [ ] is for external links. You are looking to do an "internal link" which uses [[ ]]

 

alright i can share nissan's SERVICE manual (not the owner's manual). hit me up all in PDF format. I also can provide some write-up's a/t led mods

 

I added my "Tranny" writeup and I think I posted it in the wrong place. Irish can you move it and make it look like yours..with a link, I tried but couldn't

Luis

 

done. Also posted it in the maintenance section.

I need to be a moderator

 

I've uploaded all the smaller sections of the 2002/2003 FSM - all the files under 2Mb.

It's not letting me upload any file over 2Mb though... any ideas? I pm'd aksansai a few days ago, but no reply...

 

Maxes,

This is awesome! Thank you!

 

wtf? My IP is still blocked (looks like all SBC IP's are blocked...) and I have something to share too! lol

 

I know that Mediawiki (the software that drives DIYMW) has built-in safe guards banning known IP subnets that produce a lot of Wiki-spam (yep, happens there too).

You should, indeed, ask SORBS to re-evaluate your IP address to take it off their blocked list. Otherwise, I'll see what I can do on the DIYMW side.

NOTE It's hard for me to monitor all the pages. Please shoot me a PM or email at (aksansai)(at)(gmail.com).

 

Sorry it took so long to reply. If you all have questions/issues - contact me via email (aksansai)(at)(gmail.com).
