Welcome back bro. Ready to tackle that rewire before this weekend?

<--his best innocent voice-->what re-wire?:icesangel

[Fezzik]

Well we got hit really hard around where i live. Power lines were all over the road. A tree fell down right next to our house and destroyed 2 vehicles and our neighbor right beside us has some house damage from the tree, luckly my maxima was unscaved. and the power was out for parts of brownsboro. Other than that everyone seems to be ok. Good to hear that everyone is alright though

Frezzik:Good to the the Max is ok!Love that car!

Wow, scary stuff Dave...must have been that Zaino Force Field protecting your baby.

[Fezzik]

Heck ya! Zaino will whip any tornado's ***.... But lets not try. Yeah. I think she's gonna go in to get worked on this week. I just hate not having her to drive around for a few weeks :S

If you're still going to SMI, be sure to check out the old Datsun 510 they have for sale.

[cullenj76]

ahhh... 510 with a NA SR20

[cullenj76]

let us all know how you like your Cattman y-pipe once you've had time to get a feel for it. I'm sure it won't be like the sudden "burst" of power ~3200rpms like with the VQ30DE because the OEM y-pipe on the 5th gens is designed so much better, but I imagine it is a more widely felt gain.

[ssheltz]

any of you find that your cars are very sensative to over filling the oil? I put 4 quarts in, and I think it's too much. When I poured the old oil into a gallon container it looks like I only got 3.5 quarts out.I seem to have lost all my top end (power above 3500 RPM).

[maxhopper]

Hmmmmm...I just changed mine this morning, and as is usual for my car, it took aroung 4 1/4 quarts. I've never had mine overfilled (according to the dipstick), so I have no idea about your loss of power situation. What is your dipstick showing?

[ssheltz]

Turns out it wasn't over full. Just right.Hmmm. I don't get it.Maybe it's learned to drive differently since it' hasn't seen the high side of 3500 rpm in the last month?

I don't get it.

It was running pretty strong a month ago. Not much has changed. Seems to give in a little at 3200 RPM (always did that) but then approaching 4000 it's like it's running into a 40 mph head wind. Just doesn't want to accelerate hard.

ssheltz:Post a <detailed> description of your problem to our Nissan online mechanic section.http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....id=23

Fred..

[maxhopper]

Strange indeed Steve. I guess it would be possible that if your driving style has drasticly changed for a period of time, the computer has adapted some things. But not to the extent that it behave the way you're descibing.

[cullenj76]

have you had your MAF updated/reprogrammed or anything?

[audtatious]

Or cleaned it recently? Guess the question is whether you have done anything to it other than the oil change....

Cullen, get back to the house work!!!!

[ssheltz]

I think I need the MAF update and reprogram the ECU..http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....wpost

Well, at least you know what the problem should be. That's a step in the right direction. Just stay away from Bales!!!

Cullen, have fun. Time for me to go hit some golf balls

[lindselle24]

This is my first sign in. Man i love this site. I have a 96 maxima, 5-speed. I used to have Saab 9000, I don't think i'll ever go back

[audtatious]

Welcome aboard lindselle24. Hope you like it here and visit often. Great bunch of guys are here.

[maxhopper]

Dave......where are you? Did you hunt down the rat-bastard that hit your car?

We need your input on this: http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....68624

[Fezzik]

Sorry guys, been busy hunting the a=hole down and studying for boards and school and a little work and and and... lol too many things. I want to stay home and not do anything but have money to modify my car. Car is going into the shop tomorrow (6/11) to get worked on.

Welcome to family lindselle24. How did the max handle in the winter storms up there in vermont?

[maxhopper]

Dave, I've been having these strange vision...you're all curled up in a corner of your room holding a bottle of Zaino in one hand, and distilled water in the other, with a chamois over your head. You're mumbling something like, "...must wax....shift.....Maxima......DON"T TOUCH HER!!!" It's almost like something out of Apocalypse Now (Marlon Brando's character).I hope I'm totaly off base...you doing OK bud?
