I wanted to do a SeaFoam treatment, but I can't find a picture that works. I am really new to the Maxima's, so does anyone have a picture of the brake booster line? And as far as I understand it, you let it suck in about 1/3 of the SeaFoam and then shut it off, let it sit for 5 - 7 mins, then start it and rev it up throughout the RPM band to get everything out of your engine, correct? Any more tips? Thanks.

 

Is it just me or I'm having trouble searching? It wont load my searches. Anyways... the brake booster line is connected to a drum looking thing right in between the brake reservoir and the firewall. It's right under the yellow sticker in the picture. Picture is from a 4th gen, but it's basically almost the same.

 

thats a 3rd gen but its still the same, its the 3/8" rubber line thats next to the master cylinder

 

Ok, there is only one line that it could be so that even I can't **** it up?

 

make sure u let it suck slow (no homo) because if u just drown the tube in there you will stall out the car.. let it just barley skim the seafoam out of the top of the cup that you put the seafoam in till its gone..then follow the rest of the directions.. which are, let the car sit up to 10 mins,.. then hold the car at a steady 2krpm's for a few mins, dont rev the crap out of it.. then i dont remember

 

Thanks for all the info, guys.

Maybe someone could post an up-close picture of exactly where it is with the obligatory red oval from Paint? I just don't wanna get the wrong line or something.

 

search is broken... IB

i was going to post my how-to with pics but cant find it

 

I was going to mention that I did try to search lol and Sooner, I'm sure you know, but you can use Google to find your thread. That's what I've been doing since the site search has been down. In Google, you type (without the quotes) "site:www.maxima.org *" (* = what you're searching for).

Just thought I'd pass it on, on the off-chance you didn't know.

 

If you let it suck up all the Seafoam too quickly, you run the risk of doing more than just stalling it out. You could hydrolock the motor; I've done it accidently before with a VE.

 

Looks like search is back up .. Courtesy of Soonerfan.
