True but if you are going to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a swap, why not go RWD as well?  |

/\/\ like chopstix said, depends what you put in last Thanksgiving.
Your misfire might be the result of a dead coil pack, do you have a check engine light?

If they are bosch then they are platinum plugs, those should last you a while. Also sometimes if you have a bad coil it wont thow a code immediately.

I wouldn't put Bosch. Also, "last Thanksgiving" is very vague. Mileage is more important.

If you want a cool project, build a DE/HR hybrid w/ some extra goodies (cams, HR-Z pistons/ L34 IM) and toss it in your Max.

Holy mother of all that is holy and electrical. I think I would  myself trying to get that ECU config in my car.  Aside from that, something needs to be tweaked with that thing. To my horrific surprise (read: disappointment) the HR in the new Z gives a better, fatter power curve.

if you had great fab skills you could make a RWD max for not THAT much. obviously it would take forever in the driveway though and having a shop do it would cost the original asking price of the car...plus some

Thank you. That is exactly mine look like. Your box is missing an ABS ACTR & ABS motor relay. I assume your ABS is working?
I am going to scan my computer but no check engine or abs light on.
Do you think scanner will read any codes based on this?
Thanks |

What is a fair price to pay for an 02-03 full headlight conversion (ballasts, bulbs, housing, etc) for my 01?

I was interested in getting a new sound system put in my 01 GLE.. but from looking at the dash unit, putting anything else in seems like it wouldn't turn out to pretty.. I don't know much about sound systems for cars in general.. so i'm just curious of people who have replaced the bose and how well it turned out x_x

Front license plate bracket
Hello: I just bought an '02 Maxima from out of state. The car appears to have never had a license plate on the front before, but living in Ohio, I am required to have a front plate.
Is there a license plate bracket, specific to the '02 Maxima, that I need in order to mount a license plate? If so, where can I get that bracket.
Thanks!
