- Disconnected the moonroof switch since I got tired of it randomly opening out of nowhere.
- Finally removed the engine cover. One of the stupid bolts was stripped so had to use Vise-Grips to bite into it.

Some real intense mods, I know

 

Thanks man
Megan Racing muffler. I mentioned it earlier

 

that is going to drone like maddd

 

Got my passenger side cv shaft replaced and rotated the tires. Now I just need to get some more mt85 to fill the transmission back up

 

You're in a pretty warm climate. MT90 is smooth even at 0F.

 

Yeah I had it in my spec v. Reading on here everyone was saying that mt85 was better. So I went that route when I put the clutch and flywheel in.
It never gets below 0 here.

So my Powerstop rotors cracked. They only have a 30 day warranty when purchased separately. Crap only have about 1k miles in them. Granted I have heated them up a few times goofing off with my girlfriend but dang I can't believe they cracked like that.
So I ordered the Powerstop kit for the 6th gen (KC091-26)
These at least have a 3 year warranty and are bigger. Don't like that they weight almost 8 pounds more per rotor but they shouldn't Crack like the other ones did being bigger and thicker.

 

I stick with slotted. I'm afraid of cracking. The extra mass is definitely going to help.

 

Took car to body shop and had rear bumper painted like new. Side mirror covers painted to match pearl paint. Waxed car and cleaned all leather seats. More tomorrow!

 

in a 2003 nissan maxima ive replaced all door speakers, everything is faded and balanced to center levels but both front and back speakers arent working on the passenger side, figured theres was a factory amp that had those channels go bad and could just bypass the amp all together but im not able to find an amp, so got me thinking it was the factory radio itself, and if replacing it may fix this problem, has anyone else had this problem or know the fix to it?

 

So pretty https://maxima.org/forums/supercharg...o-project.html

 

You like purple?
I like purple too.

 

Oh my that's so pretty..

 

nice cotozig lookin so purty

swapped out winters for summers......and then it snowed today


yeah I gotta fix dat wheel gap....got the parts just haven't done it yet


also as I type this.....wow what a game!!

 

Finally got the BC's in. Love the newfound suspension travel, instead of cringing at my normal bottom out spots, I just cruise through. It' great.

Needs moAr low though. Going to lower it maybe an extra 1/2" all around.

 

Don't go too low or your CV boots may rip if they're old (from being flexed the other direction). Ask me how I know
At least it's easy to replace boots.

 

Yeah, no it's higher now than it was before I installed them, which was on Progress springs.

Also, I've got a Carltonator 30" big boy, so I can't go much lower than it was on Progress if any if I want to not get snagged on something.

 

 

Does having a mix of blue and red make your car faster and cooler?

 

Looks the same as it did with Progress/Illumina.... Will poAst pics when lowered moAr.

Thing handles insanely too. Even with the H-rated snows that I so desperately need to take off and put back on the summers.

 

Yes, yes it does indeed.

 

In this case most derf f initely!

 

Have you had a colorblind test before?

 

Purple is a combination of red and blue lol

 

As you can see red and blue makes what we call purple
depending on the concentration of either color.

The intake is more blue than red
but the other stuff has more red than blue.

 

You meant literal mix. I interpreted it as a mix of red and blue in the engine bay.

And this is one reason why English is terrible.

 

 

6th Gen powerstop brake kit came in today. I am out of town until Sunday afternoon. So hopefully Sunday the brakes are going on.

 

oem water pump.

It came out just as you see it.



Look at the rubber seal on the shaft.

 

6th gen brake upgrade done today

 

Replaced my rear struts today. The old ones weren't real bad, but what a difference it makes!

 

Hand washed the max and detailed the wheels today, impatiently waiting on UPS to deliver my replacement side markers, paint shop snapped the tab last week.

 

Changed Oil pan, and Oil cooler O Ring.. Time to watch for the leak

 

Got a set of hid quick start 55watt high beams installed today. Also got it washed, waxed, and got the interior cleaned. Love having my car clean.

 

New coil, passenger motor mount, new sunglass holder, another alignment, cleaned the rims, and washed er up!

 

Replaced and replaced ac compressor $$$$$

 

Is that the mount that usually brakes or is it all of them?

 

Switched to Admintuning's dual feed and return style fuel system. Old one used barbs and the Stillen FPR wasn't working out.

 

Passenger side Trans mount

 

not today, but yesterday - replaced tranny pan and gave some new fluids. i know nothing had been done since i owned it the last 3 years, i was curious to drop the pan and see what it looked like in there.

old pan looking rusty and stuff, this was the main reason i replaced. a new (dorman) one was pretty cheap so why not


fluid a little darkish


little bit of shavings on the magnets, to be expected, but no sludge or other surprises on the bottom of the pan


i was a little surpised today when i looked at records and the last trans service was @100k miles in 2004 - it appears to have been a complete fluid replacement. previous owner was pretty **** about having the dealer do everything per maintenance schedule, i'm just surprised he went 2004-2013 without having anything done. my original plan was to do a full fluid drain/fill through the return line but the more i read the transmission fluid thread the more paranoid i was about a full replacement in a high mileage (226k miles) vehicle. so i chickened out and just added back some fancy amsoil. i'll do another drain/fill next time i do some type of service

done!




ALSO, NO MORE VIBRATING HOOD!
replaced the hood stops


not the final height lol but i couldn't find the picture after adjusting





today i helped a buddy get his old af 96 acura running. crank, no start situation. it turned out to be the common honda/acura "main relay" problem. dropped 2 ***** of solder and that piece of crap was running again

 

That looks like a healthy auto.

I'm thinking about putting an inline filter on my sister's auto.
