See these threads in the other sections and different forums so I figure I would put on here.


What did you do to your 6th gen Maxima today?

 

Guess I will make the first post.

Bought the car on 3/20/15, this week I bought new rotors, pads, spark plugs, 0w30 oil, filter, and a grounding kit. Going to be install all them tomorrow.

Need to get an alignment and have the trans flushed.

 

I recently changed the front, rear and right side motor mount and valve cover gaskets on my Wife's Cousin's 2007 Maxima....Man that subframe is massive, heavy and stiff...but takes up alot of room...surprisingly I was able to remove the rear engine mount by remove the intake air tube and ypipe only! The front required my removing the dampner weight next to the front mount, the cooling fans, and battery. The passenger side mount only needed the overflow tank removed and the P/s reservoir repositioned....Pretty tight engine bay I must say compared to the 3rd -5th Gen Maxima(s). Stealership wanted $2200 in parts and labor! I charged her $410 (Labor) she bought the parts....online!

 

Just installed grounding kit, new rear pads and rotors, cleaned airfilter (ordering new one now) and dropping it off to get an alignment.

 

Installed Firestone Coil-Rite helper air springs:



And a Curt hitch receiver:



Still have to finish up the install of the lines for the air bags.

 

Looking good, let me know how it turns out.



Got a call today from the alignment place, car needs an inner tierod. Told them to replace it, well no a single ****ing store cars anything for a maxima. Each time I did brakes, I had to wait for the correct ones (not the cheapos). Hopefully my car rides great once I get it tomorrow.

 

Another car from shop, they finished everything, car needs upper motor mount and one of the tires has a broken belt, so ya. This is fun.

 

Well, took my car in to the dealer over the weekend. It was suppose to be for a trans flush. I was quoted like $149 online. Get there, and they want $300 to do a flush and $100 to just drain and fill. There is a reason I hate dealers. Then they can even reprogram my keyfob, they wanted $50 for trying, didn't pay that. They offered me a new fob and new key for $100/key, $50/fob then another $50 to program it. **** dealers. They was suppose to also do a check of the basics, and top off all fluids, they didn't.
