Replying to: ramped (Sep 06, 2004 6:16 pm) 5-speed or automatic? I had to use regular once or twice due premium pumps being out of order. Where I noticed some difference in performance was under harder acceleration in the high range of the rev band (5,000+). Felt like the rev limiter was kicking in. The first thing the service manager asked me when I mentioned it was "did you use lower octane gas". He indicated the engine management systme will adjust for it, but you will notice lowered performance when the car is "pushed". He also indicated lower gas mileage would be most apparant at 70+ mph on the highway. Replies to this message: ramped (Sep 07, 2004 11:07 am)

Replying to: ramped (Sep 06, 2004 6:16 pm) I sold my third gen Max last year and I can't recall whether premium gas is recommended. As for the 4th and 5th Max, I am confident that premium gas is recommended, and I have been filling up the cars only with premium.

Replying to: habitat1 (Sep 07, 2004 1:24 am) It's an auto. I'm sure there is some incremental power band loss, but I don't notice it.   It is going to kill me to give the car up, but month by month more things are going out (ABS, axle, struts, AC compressor is about gone) and it has passed the point where it is economically feasible to bring it back to spec. It only has 126K on it.   I have a neighbor with a similar model and, like me, he likes his SE so much that he is driving it with terminally bad valves. He figures he will keep on going until it dies. It's got about 160K on it.   I would love to buy a brand new model of exactly what I have with, of course, updated safety features. Remarkable cars.
#8361 of 8972 Fan problem by driveon Sep 21, 2004 (12:05 pm)
My 2000 GXE has been virtually problem free for the past 4+ years. Interesting development - the fan works fine on the #3 or 4 setting. But on #1 or 2, it does not turn on at all. In fact, if I push the Recirc button when on #1 or 2, air inflow of any kind is completely blocked off. Any suggestions?   Thanks

I believe there are seperate fuses that control 1/2 and 3/4.
#8363 of 8972 2005 Maxima by mbjb Sep 22, 2004 (7:17 am)
I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on a few questions. I am in the market for a new 05 and I like the maxima se. I am 6'4" and was wondering how is the leg room and head room with a sunroof. I would appreciate your answers. Replies to this message: bowke28 (Sep 22, 2004 10:05 am)

You'll have to check it out for yourself, but I'm guessing you won't find it very comfortable. Nissans in general aren't really built for tall people; the seat cushions tend to be too short and the seats themselves don't quite back up far enough. Headroom shouldn't be a problem, though, if most of your height is in your torso you'll be fine. Post back and let us know what you find, you'll probably help someone else out.

Replying to: mbjb (Sep 22, 2004 7:17 am) the headroom in the maxima is the same whether you have a sunroof or not, because of the skyview. dont listen to the naysayer in post #8364. the maxima has TONS of room.
