I'm running premium (91 octane in CA), replaced the spark plugs with NGKs at 100k miles, tried seafoam in the vacuum line with no improvement. I tried switching gas stations, but it always seems to be there with hot outside temperatures. It does burn about 1 qt. of oil every 3,000 miles or so. When I changed the spark plugs, the #5? (the rear driver's side) had oil above the spark plug where the coil connects. I don't think it's leaking into the cylinder at that point because of the spark plug sealing it off.

Anyone have any ideas? It runs fine but sounds bad with constant pinging sometimes. ]]> Infiniti I30/I35 kevmor99 http://forums.maxima.org/infiniti-i30-i35/650002-engine-pinging-around-2000-rpms.html http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generation-maxima-2000-2003/650001-can-i-remove-painted-part-side-mirror.html Thu, 17 May 2012 22:17:03 GMT Trying to sell my 2000 maxima, and then The drivers side mirror got busted while it was parallel parked.

Has anyone already tried swapping that piece? I mean it seems removable, but i can't tell if it'd just get destroyed. Tryin to save $50 at the paint shop lol

I currently bought a complete Vq40 engine which was mixing oil/water for $500, that will be swapped in my E30 bmw when I finish rebuilding it and sourcing the other parts needed.

Since I will be rebuilding it, I'm currently in the search for some OEM solution to make the compression higher.

Vq40 specs by SR20DEN:
Rod Length (center dist): 166.87
Rod Stroke Ratio: 1.813 (92mm stroke)
Pin dia. w/bushing: 22.0
Rod big end dia. : 57.0

Has someone compared the Vq35,Vq35HR,and Vq40 pistons? I know the vq35 rods are shorter, but the Vq40 block is also taller than the Vq35HR's block.
Would the Vq35 pistons fit? What compression ratio could they yield?

If not... Also thinking about making a VQ30/40 hybrid.. that way I wont have to tamper with the block but leaves me with what are the exact mods for these heads to be used with the Vq35de Valvetrain.. ]]> All Motor darvo http://forums.maxima.org/all-motor/649999-vq40-hybrid-paging-trav.html http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generation-classifieds-2000-2003/649998-wtb-02-03-vias-control-solenoid-vacuum-tank.html Thu, 17 May 2012 21:32:54 GMT Looking to buy a new or used vias control solenoid and/or vacuum tank for my 02 max

I was talking to somebody from a Nissan shop and they said itd be like $50 but I am not sure if they knew what I was talking about

http://claytonnewmexico.net/airbox.jpg

Now when I put it my new starter motor I noticed the airbox itself is cracked where it mounts on one of hte sides, right around the screw so in time its probably just going to fall apart so I need to looking at replacing that. I have seen them for $60 used (shipped) and $100+ new it looks like plus shipping. So say that with the hose if the dude is right would be around $150.

Would I be better off getting an after market one like these below or something different or just replace the stock ?

Whats the advantage (HP and Fuel etc) and disadvantage of below.

I think i did put up a questions about the front shocks. one of mine is shot, and im pretty sure its time to replace both.

Can you guys recommend any good ones for a good price ? Im on a budget because i have blown about $500-600 in the past 1.5 months on the car adding tires, new motor mounts and now this.

I would appreciate it. I know everyone said stay away from ebay....so trying to do that.

I know alot of us had leaking power steering hose. I know I did when had my 5.5 gen and it seemed like everyone else did to.

Look at the pictures below...but first the information....

CLICK TO GO TO SITE FOR MORE INFO

Benefits:
Yes, they are in full production, with a limited run first. They are more expensive, but you get such goodies as up to 3X the available LED of any angel eyes on the market with 120 high powered Orion V2 style LED in each ring.

You get the Night Controller - a $40 option on the Orion V2 free with the Orion V4.
