#1674 of 4048 re: balancing p100 by jbrother Dec 26, 2003 (2:10 pm)
wow, thanks p100! that was a great load of info! i too have had a lot of balancing problems on my 96 nissan 240sx. practically from new purchase, have had a shimmy at around 60 mph especially when the car is cold in the morning. had one sears shop in kansas city, when i was traveling, balance the tires perfectly evidentally, because the car drove perfectly! then got new tires and the problems all over again. even went to a shop in town that is reputed to be the best with alignment and balancing issues, they first balance the wheel on the computer, then spin them on the car until balanced. but still had problems and they said it was the tires (new dunlop sp sport a2) so had 2 of them replaced partly under dunlop warranty, and still same shimmy problems. the alignment shop claimed they had many problems with dunlop tires and that was the problem. anyway, still have the shimmy but have learned to accept it and it doesn't really bother anymore. also, had several alignments done at the same shop inc a rear camber kit, etc, to no avail...

Excellent dissertation on tire balancing ! You hit the nail on the head in item # 5 when you said that a good balance job can be obtained IF the equiptment is used competently.   BTW, enjoy your Max's and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all !
#1677 of 4048 Transmission Fluid Change by jonjazzblue Jan 02, 2004 (9:40 am)
I have a 1995 SE Automatic with 145K miles. It had 68K miles when I bought it in '99 and has provided near flawless service since.   Last week I noticed that the tachometer showed 2500 rpm at highway speeds (75+ mph) and the shift was in D and the OD was on. It ran at the higher-than-normal revs for over 100 miles and later dropped to the normal 1800 rpm. Problem has not recurred.   Question: Is it time to flush and change Transmission fluid? What is the recommended frequency? I have not done an ATF changeover in the last 5 years.   Would appreciate any feedback / similar experience.
#1678 of 4048 Response to Cold Air Leak 04 Maxima by jim7689 Jan 02, 2004 (11:50 am)
I just purchased a new 04 Maxima 3.5 SL, Love the car but I also seem to have a cold air draft down low on the drivers side. I had an 01 Maxima GLE that never had the problem.   The car seems to take forever to warm up inside.   My heated seats just went out today. I haven't the fuses yet, but it worked for a few days and then nothing.   In the three years I owned the 01 GLE I never once had a maint. problem, now all of a sudden my 04 has two. I wonder if it has something to do with the car being made in the USA. I sure hope not.   Any input, let me know your input.

#1679 of 4048 2000 maxima #2 cylinder misfiring, help!!!!? by hmmttj Jan 03, 2004 (3:43 pm)
I own a 2000 maxima, My check engine light came on a few weeks ago, so I went to a trusted friend who works for advance auto parts. He hooked up a computer to it it read #2 cylinder misfiring. He proceeded to clear the check engine light for me and advised on a new coil pack for that cylinder. I went to the dealer and picked one up and replaced it, and it still had the problem. I am at my wits end with it and is driving me nuts, will someone please help.

How long since it's had spark plugs?

I would hope it's always had spark plugs!
#1682 of 4048 Cold air problem in 04 Maxima by 4score Jan 06, 2004 (10:52 am)
I just bought a used 04 Maxima three days ago and it seems as though I am not the only one experiencing problems with the climate control. I have only driven the car once - about 25 miles home from the dealership. When we arrived home I was stopped in the driveway to set the garage door opener. The vents by our feet started to blow out cold air even though the temperature was set to 80 degrees. My wife says the problem has repeated itself when she is stopped at a light. Does anyone have any insights? Since the car is brand new to us it definitely could be user error but it seems like a very strange phenomenon.
#1683 of 4048 another recall by bdlfe Jan 07, 2004 (12:33 am)
Did anyone get a notice for the new recall? I haven't received anything. This is recall 03V455000, for the crank position sensors to be replaced and notifications should have been sent 12/03 since the recall was first issued 11/04/03. 630,000 units may be affected. How many model years is that?? Damn it, how did I get a German car in disguise.
