Gave My Max a Little TLC This Week

And now shes running like brand new!!!

My Max was running quite sluggish for the past few months. I just hit 39,000 and got my 30,000 service<late> didnt feel any different so i decided to do a little more.

First off i put in brand new NGK Laser Plats. Next cleaned the Throttle Body eeeeewwwwww!!! Finally recharged the K&N... My goodness the thing runs better than it has in 3 years..

A little TLC never hurts....

word!

i took mine in to ziebart's and it got a $570 dollar bath!! got the diamond gloss paint service. it's like having klasse or zaino polish on 24/7 for 6 months!! they describe it like liquid glass. it looks good on my black maxima! i also got a full interior detail that included a shampoo, antibacterial treatment, leather treatment, etc. i got the car sound deadened, and believe it or not, the car is actually QUIETER!! lastly, got it rustproofed. they got rid of the rusty spots underneath and put a preventative treatment on it.

not hard at all assuming you have an aftermaket intake. if you have the stock asthma box then its probably a PITA. took me about 30-45 minutes and bunch of toothbrushes

Cool thanks. Do you know of any "how to" site that illustrates the steps?
