Ok, so a 'black box' does not do this, it is programmed into the ECU itself. From what I hear, a black box records information that is vital when a crash is sustained, and is tough enough, typically to withstand a crash.(Simialr to what an aircraft carries) Yes, 2002-2003 Maximas do have speed limiters. 6MT is ~ 149MPH, where the 4AT is said to be about 130MPH. Both of these have been proven on a dyno, and not some less than competent non autobahn highwaydriver.
I used to give her love taps for years, and it would temporarily fix the problem. But, now, it is completely black and only works via the steering wheel control buttons.
There is a TSB or something similar on it, but from what I've seen, it is only a temporary fix (dealer fixed the problem, only to have it return). And in your case, they might charge you since there is physical damage.
So, I guess my car doesn't have it, because I've gone 135MPH and I saw it with my own eyes. In couple of months I'll try again and then we'll see if it's true.

hey, does anyone know what the difference is between D2R and D2S bulbs? i know the stock maxima uses D2R bulbs, but i went to buy a set of bulbs from a vendor and he said all they had was D2S, but they would fit my stock D2R housings... and may actually give me better output than the D2R bulbs... is this true?
Dude...c'mon, seriously did you search for this? I'm not flamming you, but just letting you know that this only took me a few minutes to find.
thanks dude. but that's not what i'm looking for. or are they the same for 00-01 and 02-03 model? i did ask cosmo for a pic but all they gave me is a link to the intake page, i've seen the intake but wonder what it looks like on the 2002-2003
is the cosmo one the same idea as the injen then? just different brand
Ok so one time maybe a year ago i found a company online that made a performance camshaft for the vq30de but since then i have had no such luck finding it again and was wondering if anyone would know anything about it?

IIRC any non rev-up VQ35DE cam will work with adapters from Stephenmax.

At higher speeds, there is something called speedometer error.
I heard a lot of people are saying that 2000-2003 Maxima's have "Black Box" in them.
"Black Box" - prevents from going maximum speed. Limits the speed of the car.
IS THIS CORRECT OR THE PEOPLE ARE AS*** FOR SPEADING THIS RUMMOR?
I'm asking this, because a lot of people tell me that I can't reach 140MPH, after I posted 100MPH+ run on www.youtube.com. Gone 135MPH about 3 years ago and nobody believes me.

is this enough? or you need all the stuff between the wheels too?

I'm looking for the stuff between the wheels mostly, to see if there are anyother bushings or parts that might help me isolate the noise I get. Thanks for this pic. anyways.

you cant fit either D2R or D2S bulbs into your housings, yes
Not much difference if any at all. That's a horrid intake if you ask me.
well the one who posted the pic got smart, when the person who asked for the pic was asking for the 02-03...thats all i'm stating, maybe they wanted to see the 02-03 intake setup for a reason *shrugs shoulders*
What Do u think is The Brightness Back up bulbs Out
Raybrig Hyper Bulb
Polarg Hyper Color Bulb or
PIAA Bulbs
Other Question is Leds setup Brighter in the back for all the lighting or is Bulbs
It depends on which LED's you get, but over all yes they are brighter over non LED bulbs, especially oval or focused lenses.

The one for the 5.5gen isn't going to look much different, literally it's not.
They both snake down to the front section of the bumper

I got smart with him? I mearly asked him a question, correct me if i'm wrong but I don't remember him posting for a specific year that he wanted to see. The "placement" of CAI's with the 5th and 5.5 gens aren't really that different at all, bearly enough to notice which engine you are looking at. So that's why Nemax and myself have responded the way we have.

PM me if you need more details. I don't always check this thread.

What gear were you in? I've never seen this myself, so I'm not 100% sure on the AT limiter. The next time someone dyno's w/ stock ECU, it would be nice to confirm this. But, we all know the tachs & speedometers are off, especially as you get higher in speed/RPM.
This is especially why I mentioned dyno, since the data they provide is definitive, (RPM/MPH). Or, you could use GPS @ a track.
I'd rather find Straight Kentucky Bourbon vs Kentucky straight roads.

Same concept as Injen, different brand name color. The intakes are the same aside from a few hoses and such. You would have to plug all the vac lines from the DEK, and just leave the PCV line in place.
And yes mine is auto, and yes you're wasting your time w/ that intake.

i got the answer to this question from experience... even after aiming them, the output is horrible compared to D2Rs.. there's not even any light on the road until about 6 feet ahead of the car.. the beam pattern is not good.. the light is dispersed a little wider though maybe it was just because it was a new bulb.. i'm sending those back and getting the correct bulbs for my housing

Shut-off is instant, no sputter. It does it at almost the same time every cold start-up. If I am stopped when it shuts off, it will start right back up. If I am accelerating at the time of shut-off it is hard to start and will take 3-5 minutes of intermittent cranking.. I attribute this to fuel being dumped into the engine and temporarily flooding it.
Once it starts back up it will run all day without problems.
I tested the codes at Advance (don't remember the actual number) but it was the Cam Position Sensor. Having lots of practice using these codes that is a crap shoot. Could be another cause looking like a cam sensor, maybe not. There are two sensors and at $90+ I don't want to get too carried away replacing them to find out it is something else all together.
The fact that the hard re-start seems to come from too much fuel and shut-off is instantaneous, It sounds like an electrical part shutting off spark.
Since it always happens at the same time I thought it would be a good idea to see if anyone else has ever had the problem. I haven't been able to look at the plugs yet (always the first look of a drive-ability problem) and hope to do that today. Not sure what to expect from inspection though since it doesn't seem to be a problem of old or fouled plugs.
I looked at all the FAQ's, even found out how to point to the original FAQ's. Search sucks, as my topic seemed hard to put into a search. I read a bunch of posts in my search and turned up nothing.
I posted in the 5th Gen Noob post because of the 15 post limit and didn't want to anger anyone by posting 15 replies to up my count.
I'm not really a message board newbie or mechanics newbie, and I hope to make friends here. I will contribute what I can and try to stay out of the way.
Answering my own ignorant post here. I found the NTB03-124 NTB Cam Sensor Recall. I swear I read the TSB's before posting, I just missed it. This is my problem exactly. I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow to see if it fixes the problem.
Hello, Basically what happened is I crashed my 2001 Maxima GLE and need a new hood, front bumper, headlights, air bags, driv. seat belt, etc. I was just wondering if it was possible to mount a '02/'03 front bumper on my 2001 with out any problems? Also, will the halogen headlights fit the 2002/03 front bumper without modification because I don't think I really want to go through the process of modifying the headlights, but I like the looks of the '02/'03 front bumper much better than the factory 2001 that was on my car. Also, any suggestions on where I can get good quality replacement parts (either OEM or aftermarket) for cheap???
**Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much and have a great day!!! **

The D2R bulbs are intended for our type of housing. Where as the D2S bulbs are intended for projectors. They also come with the high beams, the D2R's don't. That is why you have the crappy output you are speaking of. Go to the GD section and get them from Automax95 or one of the other vendors. You can't go wrong with them.

not a car expert, whats DEK and PCV?
what do you mean im wasting my time w/ that intake?
i've read a thread comparing CAI and WAI, and turned out the WAI gains more power, i wanna get an intake just becoz i dont like the stock airbox for some reason
It never ends i think i may be having transmission trouble and i may want to get rid of the car before it craps out completely for an 02 3.5 i have some drilled rotors i haven't installed yet if i get the 3.5 can i fit the rotors on it good thing is ill have an extra pair of hid's if i get it cause i assume i couldn't trade my car in with the 02/03 headlights on it.

thats exactly who i went through... i sent the D2S bulbs back tonight in exchange for some D2R bulbs... he told me that they would fit, and may even be better than my stock ones, but they're just not.. i noticed the absence of a glare shield on the bottom of the D2S bulb, and that little bubble is in a different place.. oh well.. hopefully my output will improve

I have an 01 SE, AT (don't know if there is an MT for that year), and recently when accelerating from street speeds (~35) to freeway speeds (~70) my car won't shift if I'm pressing on the gas too much. Mind that too much isn't a wheel screeching 0-60 in 2 seconds accel., it's a "I'm gettin on the freeway, I need to not die" accel. Took it to a tranny shop yesterday, they called back saying how they couldn't replicate my problem, but that an O2 sensor was out and they want $250 + labour to replace it.
I have two questions:
Firstly, what is wrong with my car, and where should I take it?
Secondly, I know that an O2 sensor is important, but is $250 + labour a bit spendy? Last I checked, O2 sensors aren't more than $100.
Thanks in advance.
I got smart with him? I mearly asked him a question, correct me if i'm wrong but I don't remember him posting for a specific year that he wanted to see.
he did

understandable, but that is what he asked for..that's why i said what i said, that the picture shown was froma 00-01 engine bay. no hard feelings

First do you have a check engine or service engine light on? And then can you check what the code is. If its a secondary o2 sensor then you might just fix the check engine or ses light with a cheap 25 dollar simulator. The 250 plus labor to change an o2 sensor is way to much also if you have an mechanical abilities you can change an o2 sensor yourself
maybe it was just because it was a new bulb.. i'm sending those back and getting the correct bulbs for my housing
