The EGR tube clean out seems to be a popular issue. You might want to combine it with the ever necessary upper intake removal & rear VC replacement. Kinda involved I know, but put it on the back burner, and serve it up when you get a chance.

 

That'll likely be a part of the 00VI tutorial I plan on making (when I get around to putting it on).

EGR? What EGR?

 

The UIM removal would be great for a NEWB!!!!!!! Especially since shops want around 300 to remove. I can do it in under 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! Well the 300 included removing UIM and removing rear vc. Still seems insane for someone to pay that.
You could do some on cleaning the TB and IACV. I've seen lots of questions in the past on how to do those. And it wouln't take you long at all to do that.

 

some basic maintenance like how to change air filter,coils, spark plugs, pcv valve, knock sensor, and belts. thank you!!!!!!!!

 

May give that a shot tomorrow, quick and easy enough.

 

perfectly honest.. the org posses so much knowledge that i cant even think of anything that needs to be how-to'ed. mabey you could make an effort online here to gather some of the 3.5 swap info that seems to be scattered and get all of the general questions answered rather than havonig to read through multiple threads and such for general info.. im not saying DO a 3.5 Swap even though your fully capable im sure. im jsut saying that ive seen monkey **** fights more organized than some of that info.

that and. well the FSM pretty much tells you step by step how to build a maxima.. so my idea would be to help the helpless and see whos left over doing what.

we need new mods.

 

+1

 

i think it will b nice to just have one thread that posses a ton of different info.
heres what i used to have to do.
1. figure out what im tryin to do
2. search and search and gather some info ( this was before i found the relevancy button)
3. if i dont find what im looking for i make a post about it.
4. 25 seconds later i get slammed by someone (pmohr) and he gives the link.

seems like this is just gonna save a lot of time.

 

+2 great idea and im sure he will do.

00vi needs one badly. There is no real right up on it and how long has that mod been available.

Iacv cleaning, Tb cleaning, VC gaskets, Radiator, themostat, injectors, Lower oil pan, Oil change, Bypassing the TB coolant lines, brakes and rotors, wheel bearing, Water pump and tensoner I know alot of these are common sense to us but someone who is not to mechanically inclined its not and this would be huge to them. But it seems like thats the kind of audience you are aimming for

I know you dont want to rip apart your car to do a writeup. But when you do them just cause you need to do them dont forget to video tape

 

Yeah that would be nice. I'm sure I could figure it out myself, but I would rather be shown so I don't screw something up.... and seeing it done is a lot better for me than reading about it.

 

TB and IACV are pretty hard to screw up.

What we need are tuts that there are for either "old" how to threads with the pics missing or complex things like replacing an auto tranny, replacing the steering rack, etc.

 

Antenna mast. I read six posts before I finally got the small bit of info i needed (remove the chrome nut/bezel first. I just think a detailed how-to with short video would be good there. Aaron

 

I was really more talking about the intake manifold removal..... but its always good to know the right way of doing things haha

 

Actually, I've never removed one of those so that might be a good one to do as well.

 

Took some quick vids on plugs/PCV. They're not as in-depth as the other videos, but it's a rather simple job.

Have to upload them to YouTube, should be up there in a couple of hours. For simple jobs like this, I probably won't do a picture tutorial (as many already exist), nor a post on the org. Subscribe to my channel or check the 'Howto' playlist for new videos.

 

Hey man just to let you know there is no shortcut on your main page to the how to sections

 

Rpm switches?

 

If you'd like to send me one, sure.

 

Yea, I never really got around to it.

Fixed now, more or less.

 

Workin on the 00VI writeup... page 17 right now. I need to finish it. :/

That being said

-How to take the door panels off [pics are broken]
-How to adjust the trunk latch
-How to remove the front bumper
-How to remove the fenders

 

Im gonna go ahead and include that in the 00VI writeup

 

True but i know he is trying to aim for the newbies. Yes alot of them are very simple but they are not so simple if you never have done them. Its always nice to have something to "show" you how to do things the correct way.

Hell when i first started here i didnt even know what a TB and A IACV was. Now i dont even have a IACV

 

How bout a 'How To - switch out an auto brake pedal for a 5spd pedal' ROFL

You could do one on interior - center dash removal, instru cluster, door pannel, just what ever.

 

Meh, that involves actually buying a 5MT pedal, and working under the dash.

 

LOL cluster. strut bar maybe....... jk


+1 on EGR tube removal and cleaning. It would be kinda hard to get a camera in those places with the engine in the car though... And yours may have mysteriously disappeared in 00vi swap

Also, maybe changing calipers -> bleeding brakes.


EDIT: isn't there a EGR work around, maybe you could throw that in somewhere 00vi

 

I think he is deleting the egr when he swaps if he already hasnt

 

My EGR's been gone for a long long time.

 

Does it throw a code? How do u get around the code?

 

Yes, and I haven't bothered.

Plug in the EGR temp sensor, plug in the solenoid valve, codes should be gone.

 

IBthisiswhyhehascelforegronhishomemadevideo

 

lol, yeah, i had heard the terms used before, but never knew what they really did or where they were before being site. There are a bunch of threads with pics already though, so maybe those should be lower on the priority list?

I personally would like to see how to replace an auto tranny

 

I'm no help there.

Look at the clutch writeups, it's virtually the same. I believe the 5MT swap writeup also covers it.

 

all of the "how tos" I would like to see would require u to spend a little money (projector retro, led interior)

 

Isnt the LED interior pretty much covered? What isnt in the stickies that you want?

 

probably everything, not necessarily looking to do anything, just talking out of my head.... but then again everything mentioned thus far has been covered before. not to mention its all in the haines manual or the fsm.

 

ohhh pmohr doing something nice 2 the people ! ? =D

 

oh and one thing thats easy and helpful is the exhaust system, like show everything replace or w.e including the y-pipe, b-pipe,cats,muffler or anything that u have, im sure many people will like that

 

lol dont get him started..........

He does do nice things for people as long as one makes a effort. Hell even when you ask a completly newb question,he will give you the links, then he will just speak his mind as you very well know..........

 

yea , he just bashes on me telling me to search . i give him props for what he been doing ..
