A scan would be in order. Don't just go about replacing parts from your car

I trust you have gone through the link I posted in your thread.
You either have a grounding issue or your catalyst(exhaust) is plugged up

lomomike: sorry about your recent experience with your primera, I don't know much about primera But let's get things straight here. Since you forded water with it at the turn of a steering, there is a wheezing noise. Does the steering feel hard, can you zero in on where the noise comes from (whether its from the power steering pump, the belt, or from the wheel area, or the steering rack and pinion (that's if your car uses rack and pinion))?

Yea... The steering does feel hard. I'm sorry; I really don't know what a rack and pinion is and I am yet to actually identify where the noise is coming from...
Costee:
What do you mean by "the language on the screen"? Are you referring to the info display screen? Should that be the case, then your car is P12, and not P11. I want to believe too that if it is P12 it will have a feature in the menu for conversion into English language. Since you attribute the issues you're having to the wheels/steering, it just could be that the problem is mechanical. [Check the steering rack for example.] If electrical the MIL (check engine light) should be on. (You should be able to identify that icon). Better still, have the car scanned nonetheless.
[quote author=Costee]

Yes... Its the info display screen. I can only see options in French and Dutch. No English option. The check engine light is off. Maybe I should just get the car scanned. cry

Yes, have it scanned nonetheless. If nothing in that direction, then we look at the mechanical side.

I have 1999 maxima which i got six years ago. I love the car and i'm attached to it. I changed the timing chain last year and it has been performing like a 4 cylinder instead of a v6.
I want to change the engine, any idea of the cost of a top grade one.
Do i also need to change the gear box? It is not giving any probs though.
I have a camry but i find it boring.
I need my maxima back till i can get a new one. Actually thinking of switching to a 3.5L V6 Altima.

Engine should be between 70 and 80k.
You will not need to change the transmission

Thanks, was just wondering why a couple of mechanics were advising changing both engine and gearbox.

Please how can someone knows the % of octane in the fuel?

what is octane booster?

octane booster raises the octane level in your gas and only needed if you have a higher performance car than the factory builds

STOP STOP STOP. Converting from maxima 3.0 to 3.5 is a big headache and not an easy job. Buy your engine and drop it in. Why did you change the timing chain? it is a life time item. I have owned couple of that maximas and i never did a timing chain. I had one with 340,000 km and regularly drive from canada to the states.
That 3.0 engine is a very good engine and lasts for a long time if well maintained

Friend had it and it was fun to drive

Thats a very good choice.. I think you can find it cheaper in naija . Most nigerians and their mechancis are not fond of V6. Keep us updated on your decision

Moving from a 2007 maxima to 2010 model.

Love the stiff suspensions of the SE trim (2007 maxima) but the transmission is not as responsive as my 2003 model Maxima.

Question is-- Has anybody in the house had an experience with the 2010 maxima as regards the transmission?
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by nissparts(m): 6:22pm On Sep 22, 2013
It's basically the same cvt transmission

I drove the 2010 maxima. It is a CVT and geared toward fuel economy so it shift up way too early unless u use the manual mode. I think it has to do with the way the transmission software is mapped. It is pretty good on gas.
The engine makes 290hp compared to the 255hp in 02-03 maxims. I couldnt tell the 35hp difference during my drive with the car.
The 07 maxima is a tad slower than the 02-03 maxima . 07 maxima is heavier than 02-03 maxima.

You just confirmed my tots!!

The 02-03 maxima is faster than the 07 maxima.
Though i need to change my transmission fluid on the 07 maxima.

Hi. I am seriously thinking of purchasing a Nissan vehicle. What I have in mind is Rogue ,Qashqai or a Murano. Would like advice from guys who have experience with any of these regarding performance, fuel efficiency. availability of spare parts and suitability for Nigerian roads.
