My Dad's Nissan Maxima 99 Is Just Trouble by Abduletudaye(m): 5:31pm On Aug 26, 2018
Hello All,

Back in 2009 when she was still new, we didnt have issues. As last year, the car developed the issues below.

1. Developed a very funny sound: I feel its the silencer tho but on many occassions, we have patched it but it remains same.

2. You have to press on the tortle before the car can actually go a desireable distance.

3. The AC doesnt work.

4. The power steering is worse off: It cannot be easily turned. A mechanic said it was the gushin. The gushin was changed and the neck is barely manageable. I really want it to be free as that of a new car. Some say its the power steering oil. The compartment for the oil is always filled yet the isssue persists.

5. The car seems some how low: What i mean is, after repairing issues no. 1 highlited above, if the car goes into a small ditch, coming isnt rosy. It must surely touch the groud.

6. The car goes off while in motion after going a certain distance: At this point, there's water in the radiator, battery is fine though i noticed after leaving the car for about 20min, it starts up like nothing went wrong. It has embarrased me twice.

7. Checking the engine, i realised that many relays have been removed. Relays like AC, Fog Lamp, Etc.

This car was working fine when it was first bough in 2009 and i am in total shock how it has degenerated to this level.

Would share more pictures of her soon as she is grounded somewhere in agege as a result of issue 6.

Please N'landers, come and advise biko..

you don't need advice,you need a sensible mechanic!!

one that knows when a car needs a replacement power steering pump atleast

a reliable rewire....one that doesn't steal your "follow come" relay to sell to his other customers

an intelligent panel beater....one that won't leave ur exhaust pipe dangling so much so it's worse off than when u first took it to him

you see, even you gan sef have to soji these things.....it's ur own "soji-ness" that will let u Identify the aforementioned

it has not started electrical issues and you are complaining.....when "crank and cam" wahala hold you well(might even be the reason for ur number six issue),na owode generated cash get u be that sir

it is well

Ok, thanks.. say i sell this car @250k or something, what car would be best? That maybe 600k or 650k.. cry
Re: My Dad's Nissan Maxima 99 Is Just Trouble by AutoElectNG: 9:01am On Aug 27, 2018
Costee, maybe you can help this guy.

If I were to take this on, it would be for N250,000.00 labor flat non-negotiable only

Cost of parts on your account (not included in the above)...I can tell you where to source for parts, but if you do, no warranties.

Parts to look for to give you an idea of the cost in parts:

Honorable mention to diportivo who made this much easier for me:

1. Tokunbo power steering pump

2. Tokunbo fuse box

3. Tokunbo full-length exhaust pipe

If I source for parts, then I would warrantee the parts.

I would be doing this not so much for the money...but to prove that dead cars can be resurrected

Just an alternative point of view to help you weigh all your options
