Headlight fix

Both my headlights were getting condensation in them. I rinsed them and found the leak was where the glass meets the plastic. I just siliconed the outside and no more condensation.

87 Maxima

Don't use the 3 gen exhaust manifolds. You will have to relocate the oil filter and oil pressure is slow to come up at start. I'm going to braze the crack on the 2nd gens

Drivers window not working

Good advise, I did all mine. Then the drivers window quit working again. This time it was the window relay located inside the drivers door.

I ran 3rd gen headers on a 2nd gen and about to remove them. The down pipe from the header goes right over where the oil filter should be. I relocated my oil filter but the oil pressure is too slow...

I have both manuals. Chilton is much more in depth, sometimes good. Haynes lists all torque specs at front of chapter. I like that better than digging for them in Chilton directions.
