Once again, just my .02.
You can reset the computer by holding down the button on the steering wheel(when it is reading Avg MPG) for for about 3 seconds. You can also reset the driving time and avg speed the same way.
Has anyone else had this problem? I heard that it could be caused by a vacuum leak.
Thanks,
Steve
Anthony said that he hasn't noticed any obvious hesitation (but it doesn't feel as quick as it has in the past), but of course he seems to be sensitive to any noise, bump etc. concerning his car.
My questions are: 1)If the knock sensor goes bad, should the CEL come on, because his hasn't. 2) Has anyone else had this problem, or has the dealer tried to rip you off by saying that it needs replacement( because he was told it would cost $250 to replace it.)
Thanks for any help or advice you can give!
maxima.org has had some discussions on that. i would like to hear from other people too.

As a result, you get brakes that are stressed at a higher % of maximum and wear faster. This is not a Maxima problem. I have been to many other brand performance sedan discussions and heard the same thing you guys are saying. The worst braking system for a modern era highperformance car was the early 90's Ford SHO. My buddy had one and it would fly down the road but it had undersized brakes and would burn them up in 20,000 miles or less.
If you're having problems, an upgrade wouldn't hurt!
ps Thanks for those on the list who posted about the wierd sound from their engaging clutch on 00-01 Max 5spds, mine made that noise the other day and I knew what it was right after I heard it.
Thanks.
I can just see some $*%& head doing that. Man, I feel for you. 12volts = 12 volts, I doubt the electrical part is much different save for the sockets. BUT, You'd need the whole light mount and reflector, everything. Wow, that's going to run a few bucks when combined with your bodywork. Good luck. Ouch.
Tim on www.maxima.org sells headlamp bolts that's suppose to make it a little harder to steal them. You should check them out...

I called 1800NISSAN1 and reported the issue. They contacted the dealer and approved the rotor replacement. By that time I racked up serious mileage commuting to work since I bought my wife a new car. They replaced everything at 52k miles. I now have 73K miles on it and have had no front brake problems (crossing my fingers). If I keep this car and replace the brakes I'll get the Stillen rotors and pads and stainless steel lines kit. Found it on the Internet for like $525. Anyone with this problem on a 2000 Maxima, don't take any crap from the dealer. If they won't replace them for free call Nissan Corp and SCREAM!

Maybe I should just avoid car washes?? Or take the risk and take in it to my dealer??
Did you have the shade closed Nissangirl?

To the person that got his hid stolen: Go to a car accident repair place and tell them to order the headlights for the 00-01 model year and replace it with that. It's IDENTICAL.
with all the goodies only 5% are being built that
way.fit and finish dont compare 6sp vs 5sp better
radio bigger tires 15 more hp my money went to max
with rebate price was close.i know because i tryed finding one the dealer did a three state locate and couldnt find one and if he did the dealer didnt want to dealer trade
As much as I tried looking for a device to prevent that, I couldn't find anything that I felt would adequately protect the lights. And here I am, with no lights and hating Brooklyn.
I am now considering installing 2001 model headlights, dealer said it will require some rewiring but they can do it. I really hate to do that, I love those HID lights and my Max won't look the same but I don't see any other solution.
I am curios to know what you did, were you successful in installing regular helogen bulbs? if yes, how does the car look now?
For those concerned on this board, the cost to replace stolen HID is $3,500 (minimum damage) and up.
Good luck all.
Well, I hope you can find a way to enjoy your Christmas, I know this makes you sick!
Happy Holidays to you too.
As far as stealing HID's to install them on 00, 01models, I find that unlikely. What is usually needed is the xenon bulb and the ballast (igniter), not necesserelly the whole headlight. The bulb and the ballast then can easily be installed on any car. I assume these could be sold for a couple of hundred bucks each.
My car is being fixed now and I am installing 01 headlights. Can't afford to have this happen to me again. It's too bad, I loved the new lights...
My car now has 44K on it and it is finally time toget new tires. I still have the original Bridgestone 17" on the car!! I was able to get that much out of these tires by rotating them every 7-10K miles and keeping the tire pressure at 32 PSI. In the market for new tires I have done some research on Tire Rack and found that for the money, the Sumitomo HTR+ are the best all-season high performance tire. It gets excellent reviews for snow and wet traction, which is what I am most concerned with. I never liked the Bridgestones that cam with the car, especially in the rain. Also, I am putting on 235/45WR17, slightly bigger than the 225/50VR17 that came with the car. Does anyone have any feedback on the Sumitomo tire and should I expect and problems with the slightly wider tire?
Thanks.
Just want to pass the word on this 2000 Maxima brake problem. If you brake hard on high speed, it sounds like metal grind on metal.
The problem is the rotor, there is a TSB(Technical Service Bulletin) # NTB00-088 out at their dealers.
I called the dealers and they said they will not paid for it. But after several calls to Nissan directly, I was able to get them to promise to fix it for free. One time deal is what they said.
The thing is you have to be persistent and complain loud enough to get them fix it for free.
My 2K MAX has 47000 miles on it and they said they will fix it. Have not get it fixed yet, but just want to let owners of 2K MAX out there know that they can get it fix for free if they complained loud enough .
Also, here is the link to a copy of the TSB:
