General Feedback:

With the 6000k HIDs you wont really be able to see the halo rings. the lenses that they use give off a slight glare which actually make the HIDs look a little brighter than they are, which to me isnt a bad thing at all. i would post a pic of them lit on my car but its in the shop.
One of my buddies here in MI bought the ebay projector head lights and his bulbs weren’t seating properly. The right bulb was bouncing in the housing. They didn’t fit properly and just were cheap quality. So I personally wouldn’t recommend them.
Are people trolling by trying to buy ebay headlights? Only thing they’re good for are the lens lol
Ebay halo’s suck… ZERO light distribution. Youd have more light on the road getting 5th gen headlights and silverstars lol.

DTC P1336 – Crankshaft Position Sensor Fix on 2000 5thgen Nissan Maxima

Community Member Credit: Amave

So since i bought the car back in 2010 it had the constant DTC p1336 crank position sensor POS. , it never really was a problem in the past, since the engine ran good, it had a hard start but always started up every time, and other than the DTC i never had a problem. Well i decided to reseal the oil pan since i was passing it on to my son who is going away to college i figured if i do more work on it, the less he has to do to it when it comes time to fix it.

I resealed the oil pan and when i removed the pan low and behold i see my problem is the signal plate that is attached to the flywheel.

The kid i bought it from had the transmission and clutch replaced so when i got it the clutch was new so i had no reason to replace it , and if i had it long enough i am sure i would have had to replace it eventually. .

You can see the signal plate is damaged on the FW , i just wanted to share what i found just in case anyone has the same type of DTC and everything else checks out

And my beloved 2000 Maxima

Differences Between VQ35DE Non-Revup and Revup Oil Pumps

Credit: Aaron NWP

Last night, I installed the Rev-up oil pump on my 02 Maxima engine. But before I did, I cracked it open.

Here are some observations.

Revup on left; Non-Revup on right

The first thing I noticed was the casing. The non-revup has a smooth casing with several imperfections and burs. The revup has a more consistent cast without any noticeable burs or flaws. Here is the other side:

Here they are opened up:

The first thing I noticed was that the rotors are slightly different. The revup has arrow marks on them and the non-revup has little dots. Other than that, they appear to be identical. I hold them up against one another and the rotor lobes have the same exact shape. The rotor dimensions are identical in every way.

But here’s the difference I found. On my postal scale (displays in .2 ounce increments), the two non-revup rotors weighed 10.0 ounces while the revup rotors weighed 10.4 ounces. There was a clear difference in weight meaning the metal is different.

I also took a few measurements of the inside of the casing. The inlet and outlet inside diameters are exactly the same. And the depth of the casing is exactly the same as well.

I don’t know the major differences between these two oil pumps. But I thought I’d share some of my observations. It appears that the revup oil pump rotors may be stronger. The casing may be a tad stronger as well.
