Removed front seats and cleaned carpet stains out of my 98.....I'll be looking for some junk yard carpet and center console possibly....Looks like alot of spilled Dr Pepper/Mr Pibb....If I can't find some decent JY carpet then JcWhitney is my next option!
I just bought my Maxima a couple of days ago, and have been tinkering with small things here and there. I had an annoying squeaking coming from the exhaust and it was due to one of the metal hangers rusted off and rubbing against the exhaust. Cut it off, and no noise. I also removed the front three spark plugs to see what kind of condition they were in. Will be replacing those soon!
Visited the junkyard too gather some needed parts:
1. Driver's door panel
2. Center Console
3. Both front wheel well splash shields
4. Foglight brackets L/H & R/H
5. New grill (same color)
6. Foglamp (L/H) only
Cleaned all items and installed center console and cleaned carpet under center console.....
Woke up, and bought some fluids and oil for my maxima. I am 98 % done with a vq35de swap... just waiting for the last part to come in.. pathfinder throttle body.. Oh I also cheched the status of my TB, estimated to arrive between now and 02/06...
Got pissed at it and almost B!tch slapped it cause I am all of the sudden hearing a ticking noise when I accelerate. Hope the oil is just a little low.
Not today but, yesterday I replaced my bank 2 sensor 2 o2 sensor, and replaced my rusted out blowmaster (was on the car when I got it) with a Greddy evo knock off cat back. So happy with how it sounds.
got a black I30 dash and chrome door handles from the junkyard.
Dash, ac vent, gauge bezel and door handles...........$49
Ive been looking for the black console ac vents for months. FOund every other color but black. Im about to pick up the wrong color and just paint all my vents another black color to match. Anyways, today I took my max around the track to properly test the new suspension. Really happy with it but Eibach springs could be about 50lbs firmer

Got one headlight removed last night, removing the other one today. Gonna do a double whammy of 3M headlight restoration with SilverStar head / fog install.
silverstar's are sick. I got the ZXE's and I would venture to say they are brighter than any led or hid I have seen. Pure white too very nice. I get flashed daily bc people think I have my brights on

Yeah I really love them. Had them in my grand am for years, and my wife has them in her outback as well. I don't get the ultras, just the regular ones are a nice upgrade from stock
