it appears at present all the links do not work ? im not sure what happened on the forums to cause this ?
Welcome to the 00VI swap for dummies thread.
Im Ceasar, love Maxima's and love drag racing, but dont know diddly doo about mechanics. Got my engine today (vq30de-k), $526 USD and made it to the crib safely. So where do I go from here ? Why not start an 00VI swap for dummies thread to find out, and to help all the other dummies out in maxima.org land.
There is no such thing as a dumb question, just dummies asking them! So feel free to be dumb up in here, we all may learn something.
As more dummies come along, read the thread, do the swap, and work. We will end up with a large base of 00VI swap veterans on the loose! And hail, a bunch of faster 4th Gen Maximas out there too !
Feel free to ask questions in this thread (just like me), as I learn more, I can help more. And if you have the 00VI smarts, share people.
I have always had a weird Maxima Pride. Always wanting (especially the 4th gen Maximas) to be a great car out on the road. While we are owners, the more we help each other the more pride we can have in owning a Maxima !
I would also like to thank all the org members who are helping me out along the way. If I can successfully get through the OOVI swap then Im sure any Maxima.org member can. Until a few days ago, I had no clue how to remove a throttle body ? LOL ! If it were not for this 00VI for Dummies thread I wouldnt have gotten that far !
And now with the 00VI for Dummies thread, your 00VI swap is going to be that much easier. Lets GO FAST !
