ok so when i bought my maxima the dude told me someone backed up into his car so the bumper got some damage but i fix it up a little with some bondo. also lip of the hood was bent and the grill and the housing of the headlight were also cracked so i was thinking until i actually get a new bumper and hood i should buy a bra for the car. i was looking on ebay and found one for $90 the full bra and i just wanted to get some opinions.

ps im getting new headlights and grill next week so im not worried about those 2 i just dont like how my front looks with the messed up bumper and hood

 

If you wanna hide the damage, go for it. That should work fine.

 

yea well its just for now,until i am able to get the bumper and hood. Im gonna start investing money into this car but 1st i need a tune up which is gonna cost me $400 and i need a sensor for my emissions system that i was told its gonna cost me about $160 since only the dealers have it. so i just want a simple way out of it for now

 

looks cool man. get it.

Why arent u doing your own tuneup? Use the org how-tos and save some cash

 

i was thinking on doing that since one of my friends works at a shop and can get me all the parts 50% off but im not too sure on exactly how to do it..i know the oil change, the filters, plug and coils but the wires that gotta be replaced and such im not too sure about...imma take a look on the how tos cuz i def need to save some money on this tune up but besides that im pretty sure imma go with that bra lol

 

Our engines dont have plug wires.

 

ok thats good i havent fully gotten a crack at this thing i have nooo tools lol but anyways any of you know what exactly the tune up consists of i saw the thread in the how tos but that one says for 60k...i just hit 130k in mine it would be cool if you guys can point out exactly what things need to be changed this is what pretty much i can come up with...

spark plugs
coils
air filter
oil change
all fluids
im not to sure if i should change the fuel filter?

thats pretty much what i know of as far as a tune up goes

 

No need to change the coils.

 

so i'd be just what i put up even though i have 130k? should i change anything specific i missed?

 

YES on fuel filter. Especially since you mentioned it was recently purchased. If you can, go for a fuel filter for the Z32...lasts longer

 

Every 3000 miles or 3 months
Check power steering fluid
Check automatic trans fluid
Change oil and filter

Every 7500 miles or 6 months
Replace windshield wiper blades if necessary
Check/service battery
Inspect all underhood hoses
Check cooling system
Rotate tires
Check suspension, steering and axle boots
Inspect brakes

Every 30,000 miles or 24 months
Replace air filter
Replace fuel filter
Check/replace spark plugs
Check/replace PCV valve
Service cooling, drain and flush system
Change automatic trans fluid and manual trans fluid

Every 60,000 miles or 48months
Inspect Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve for build up. Clean if necessary.

 

This schedual is only valid if the car has been properly maintained by the PO. I would disregard the mileage and schedualing, and do everything on the list. Don't take chances when you don't know the history.

 

this is exactly what i needed i pretty much need to know what thingsto replace and such, thanks a lot man i appreciate it


yea i have no idea what they have dont but from what i seen through the oil changes ive dont and the change of brake pads and rotors the 2 PO didnt take much responsibility on the maintenance and i pretty much want to do everything that needs to be done just to be safe

 

i guess it would work
