It’s odd, for sure...but the timing chain was stretched and the tensioner was at its max trying to take out the slack. Guides were shot, too.

Just got it back today, running stronger than it...

Just to update on this...did pull the belt off and it was still knocking away like a Bible salesman. Popped the cover and there was too much slack in the timing chain, and bits of the guides were...

Ice cold...I tend to freeze most people out! After the tensioner and idler pulley changes, the belt system is good and quiet, turning the compressor on and off doesn’t seem to change it. Still have...

Spoke too soon...

Apparently the oil change was just a temporary fix, it’s back. Definitely nothing coming from the accessory system now, so time to pop the cover off and see what’s going on with...

Interesting. I’ll give it a shot. 90+ degree temps are frequent where I live this time of year. They did a flush on it and filled it back up with conventional, so I’ll run it 2-3k or so and try a...

Any links to the threads? I’m not an active poster but I’ve read up a lot on that forum. I’m honestly curious to read up on it.

Oh absolutely, that’s what I’m doing. Tensioner, mounts, and oil change which is more or less due, anyway. Then see how things sound. I swore long ago, after much cursing, I’d never change another...

Definitely agree to the above. Only exception being Amsoil, they’ll back up their product. I’ve run Amsoil CVT fluid for 60,000 miles with no issues from the CVT.

Update on this...it got bad enough that I had to drop it off at the shop after work. A lot of things I can fix on my own, but I don’t think this is one of them. Guy said it sounded “very...

It’s hard to hear but it actually does change with engine speed... the knock becomes more rapid as does the ticking. I’ll try changing the oil, I’ve never used anything other than 5W-30 in it. ...

Hey all, happy owner with a new problem. Went on a 1000 mile or so round trip, and about halfway through, my Max started making this knocking/ticking sound. Started two days ago....

eBay Intake Review - CPT Tuning

Hello everyone!

I recently toyed around with the idea of putting an intake in my Max, so I started reading some threads on here. After looking at the posts and my own engine bay it's pretty...

Still got my seat rocking, too. I saw a "Maxima Seat Fix" on Facebook a while ago, that they were taking pre-orders for for $19.95. This was back in May and there have been no updates since then. ...

Well, like the above poster I've had mine for about a year. First ever CVT experience, too. Previous car was a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ with the 3.6 and a 6 speed auto. Only 252 horsepower but...

Geez.

If it weren't for the snow, I'd say get the G37. You'd enjoy the upgrade. But you definitely won't be doing yourself any favors with a RWD convertible in the winter, and a nice car won't...

Could be indicative of the overall size of the Consumer Reports reviewer. All that constant complaining has got to lead to some stress eating.

Honestly just looks like someone copied and pasted a Gen 7 review and then slapped a Gen 8 picture on it. Same gripes, most of which I found not to be true about the Gen 7, either.

Most of those things sound about right, but a lot of them you can do yourself and save a lot of money.

That's just glare from the phone flash which uses a blue LED. The true color is matte black.
