For Homelink visors, it's all in there. All you need is the 12V power feed. So if you have a lighted mirror on your visor, you have a 12V feed through the stem. Just like on mirrors it's all in the mirror. I added a Homelink visor in place of the original non-HL one in both my old Maximas. It was li...

I t does appear that way. This is not uncommon nowadays. It's the same on the wife's car (325i). At least on her's the rears are replaceable, doesn't appear to be the case here as the it's the full hub assembly in the rear as well. Does save us DIY'rs the trouble of have them pressed in, but it is a...

Thanks again and looking forward to it. -DPF

I did a test going from 87 octane to 91 for a full tank each. I saw no appreciable change in mpg. Maybe one or two tenths of a mile per gallon after a tank. That much is within the noise of the test as it can be affected by little more than your mood that week. Based solely on my experience with the...

Agreed, it's not worth turning rotors. Just replace them if they're getting thin or have developed a nice lip. $490 is a lot of cash, but not out of the ordinary for a dealer job. Indy would probably be $350-$400. You can order OEM parts from somewhere like autohausaz, and have them shipped free if ...

Does seem a bit early. But not crazy depending on driving habits. Learn how to do brakes yourself, it doesn't get much easier for DIY. You could do both pads and rotors up front for $150 and an hour, two at most your first time. Nothing more complicated than turning a wrench and tightening c-clamp. ...

Speaking from experience with a Maxima (VQ30DE), when the timing chain tensioner goes bad, it makes more of a chatter sound than a whine. The plunger in the tensioner gets varnished and then sticks in the housing. Proper tension is not applied to the chain and you get the chatter from the loose chai...

lsmith, On a 2010? And they replaced them all? That does not seem to align with the recall as posted. That states these are service parts, not OEM. DId you have all your LCA's replaced at some point? Or is the phrasing of the recall bogus? Please clarify, for the good of the community :). If yours w...

mar1,

Just checking in. Not being a bother, just thought if you're anything like me, you may have forgotten

Regardless of the tranny fluid reservoir issue, it's a good idea and should be standard practice to change coolant every two years, three at most. I'm as guilty of not doing this as most, but it's just one of those maintenance items that few people tend to do. It's not a fun job, but once every few ...

Sweet! Thanks. I take it by the older post you've mounted the Altima ones? And What generation altima was it? I assume the the last that ended on 06?

Thanks again.

As long as the visor will fit, which is why this thread got me thinking it was possible. All it needs is the 12V power, which is there for the mirror. So if Altima visors fit/match, I'll be set. Just wanted to get some verification before I grab em, if anyone knows for sure. This thread seems to ind...

Yea, love those manuals, but I can't take my laptop with me into the garage. With my luck - CRASH, smash, F**K. :lol: I can't live without my laptop in the garage. I'm constantly having to dig up references for whatever I'm working on. Either full-on DIYs, or at least torque specs and the like. I s...

Alright, I think I'm headed in the right direction here. Resurrecting an old thread for verification. Do Altima visors fit for the R51's in size/shape/.color? It seemed that they would, just need to maybe swap out the plastic mounting bits maybe? I ask as I'd like to put in the Homelink visor from a...
