It sold to a local guy in his 20s who was very excited about it. I think he had an old Celica before so it was an upgrade.

FS Rare 1999 SE 5-speed Black on Black

I bought this lovely Maxima in February 2004. It had 74,000 miles and was in Chicago. In the 17 years since then, I have only put another 77,000 miles on it--mostly highway. This car has been loved,...

FS Stillen kit rear valences

I have L&R rear valences for the 97-99 Maxima Stillen kit (no lip or side skirts, just the rears). Unfortunately I hit a rock at the edge of a driveway so the R one is scuffed, but it's not terrible....

I know many cars including newer cars allow OBD port to power on (and power on ECU) with ignition off. I am not sure about the 4th gen Maxima.

OBD-II devices and battery drain

Hi all,

It's been ages since I've posted on the Org but I thought I'd check to see if anyone was using a pay-per-mile insurance (e.g. Metromile) with the OBD-II dongle that is supposed to plugged...

Thanks for the replies. Re the Morimoto Mini H1 kit, is there a write-up for how to install this in the 97-99 Maxima headlight? Can you tell me how much cutting, adjusting, gluing/JBwelding,...

Thanks, guys. I did the 9007 headlight mod years ago and it made a big difference. On back roads in the dark I feel I have good visibility with low beams and especially high beams. However, I live in...

Glad you guys have found it to be worthwhile. I noticed a difference right away, and I suppose I still do even though it soon seemed to loosen up: when I let off the gas in gear, there used to be a...

Aftermarket fog light options

I wrote a longer post and the Org logged me out and lost the post. I can't believe in 2014 this sh!t still happens.

Anyway, the short question: I want to replace the stock 4th gen fogs with ...

Oh man, what a job. I did this about 7 years ago and it was so much work and didn't make much difference except to make the car vibrate a little bit more. Maybe there was some benefit, but even if so...

Yep, no pressure at all at the low pressure valve. The dilemma is, should I possibly waste $20-50 on a recharge kit, only to have it all leak out (since there is no pressure it seems like a big leak,...

Oh, that's completely different. Good to know. I've never had to start more than twice, but as the car ages I'll keep that in mind.

A/C Recharge Kits

I replaced my compressor, evaporator, condenser, expansion valve, and O-rings in 2008. I don't drive the car very much and don't use the A/C much when I do drive, but it was working last summer. This...
