I have a 96 G20 5spd. It has been rated THE most reliable ( over LS 400 )
car for several years. I drive mine pretty hard. The sound system on 96 and
earlier is not Bose, but still GREAT ! 4 seperate 40 watt amps,  6 speakers,
standard CD player.

Does anyone know where I can pick up a used 91 Stanza front passenger door?
(Other than Nissan)

How much do you think one will cost me?

Thanks!

Hi I was looking at buying a  used one, don’t know much about them. I
guess there no real popular. I was curious if anyone here owns one
maybe they could post some info or e-mail with there thoughts.

Thanks G. Gowland

My Quest has developed a squeek in the steering.  It sounds as if it is binding
& the squeek is coming from inside the passenger compartment.  Is there a point
in the steering mechanism that may need lubrication?

Thanks,

Tom

Ok, guys, listen to this one.  My 240 has had problems starting lately.  It
doesn’t happen all the time, but sometimes if it’s been sitting over night and
I go to start the car, it does nothing when I turn the key.  after a while of
holding the key in the start position, it starts to turn over, and eventually
starts.  I found out the strangest thing though, when it won’t start when I
turn the key, if i turn the steering wheel back and forth real fast while
holding the key in the start position, it will start right up! The problem is
that it resets all my radio presets. Weird, huh?  So, anyway, what is the
problem? I noticed that sometimes my battery gets a little low (is 12.5v low?)
when it has been sitting for a while. I can’t find anything that would drain
the battery, though. I replaced the battery( it was an old one anyway)and the
fuel filter, and checked the alternator. I have metioned in a previous post
that the 240 also has problems stalling out by idling down to nothing
sometimes.  I have noticed that quite often, when one of these problems is
happening, the other one does, too.  could the starting problem be a bad
starter, or maybe a bad ground?  I checked all my groud connections that I
could find, and they seem OK.  

Thanks!

My max has always had some vibration in the steering wheel at higher
speeds.  I have bocome used to it after a couple of years.  Recentl, I
had a chance to drive a new C70 Volvo (Hertz) for a few hundred kms.
What I noticed is that at higher speeds, the Volvo is as solid as a
rock.  Nothing seems to disturb the steering wheel tracking and no
vibration.  I enjoyed driving the Volvo at highway speeds much more
than my max.  I have (as recently as month ago) rebalanced all four
tires and have had the alignment verified by the dealer.  Still, this
has not helped.  (regular wheels and tire size)
        Has anyone also had a similar concern and had it resolved?
How?
I’m interested in fixing this permanently.

(PS, the Volvo could use additional 50 hp to come close to the maxima
in engine performance.)

–According to Edmund’s website, there are two Altimas for the 1997 model
year.  The 1997 and the 1997.5, whatever that means.  What are the
differences between the two and is there a reason to buy one as opposed to
the other?

Thank much…

I am seriously considering putting sport springs on my 97 Maxima SE 5-speed
(combined with Tokico Shocks/Struts).  

Which springs should I get?  Are the Eibachs really that firm & bone-jarring
compared to the stock SE springs?  Is their handling advantage over the
H&R’s worth their increased harshness?

Thanks!!! –Andi
