I guess I won't be going back to an 87-88 Maxima for a while. Asking $30 shipped (exactly what I paid for them). They are in great condition, have no cracks...
Love my 87 Maxima but it let me down a couple of weeks ago. I was driving down the road and it was if I turned the key off. It cranked over but wouldn't start....
Thanks Charles. I keep an eye on the club, but I'm no longer able to get online everyday, so I will end up missing some. The other moderators have been...
I don't think the injectors will fire unless the engine computer tells them to (ie: cranking the engine via the key). Have you checked your distributor cap and...
I've been on a ban streak almost every day of the week now. Of course, its hard considering these guys never give up. But at what cost are we restricting the...
Crank sensor is electric and so is the starter. I would try what Leigh says first then start with the crank sensor, check all fuses and relays. -d ... tells ...
The crank angle sensor has a small amount of voltage going to it and as it is turned, it sends signals to the computer which in turn sends power to the ...
Thanks, fellas -the distributor fixed the problem. Got a used one out of a salvage yard for $50.00. Considering the price of a new one, thank god for salvage...
hello everyone... my first car was a two tone 85(beige/brown) Maxima. I loved that car. Back in 99 I got a new car and decided to trade it in. STUPID ...
Your best bet is to try craiglist, Recycler, or pennysaver, I don't know what you have in your area. But honestly, I see more 2nd gens in junkyards than on the...
I recently purchased a 1985 maxima, vg20et 5 speed manual, never knew these cars existed! Purchased it for $200 off some young guys. Everything is mint,...
... isnt ... Have you tried letting the car roll slightly and trying again? Occasionally the syncros aren't quite aligned and might cause that. What condition...
No matter what it refuses to go into 1st or 2nd. Clutch seems a bit stuffed, but still operates. Thrust bearing makes one hell of a noise though. Getting a bit...
... Welcome to the club, be sure to post some pics of your car, especially close ups of the engine bay. Lots of us here drool over your car, and curious if...

That's some of the sexiest pictures I've ever seen. You plan to put a intercooler on that as well? I remember reading about a top mount conversion that worked...
I was cruising back from work the other day and about 3 miles down the road, my engine just completely stopped firing. It didn't seize or anything, just...
Thanks, shes getting there slowly. Still alot of things to be done e.g adjustable suspension and 18" rims. I am planing to put a front mount intercooler on it,...
Sounds electronical, first thing I would do is check to see if there is any spark getting to the cylinders. If there is, could possibly be the timing. ... the ...
... I should also add that I tried putting it in gear and letting off the clutch pedal while I still had some speed. It just backfired some and spit out some...
... I just want to check with you guys as to whether or not my engine was mangled to bits if it's the timing that has gone south on me here. Thanks. -- Ben...
My alternator seems to be on it's way out. How complicated is it to replace one on a 1988 Maxima. It doesnt look very accessable, but I'm wondering if there...
