That is correct ................It is NOT a power antenna so I was just a little confused as to if the mast screwed in or not. I'm assuming it does but it broke off inside the base, I'll need to get it out with a screw extractor.

Of course I got the turtle wax one.

Yeah it's the two bottom back seats, someone must of laid something funky on there and it seems embedded into the fabric. I think I will just find two bottom rear seats at the JY.

Thanks it's a 95 and I will need to get the broken part out with a screw extractor. One thing I hate about all these rusted screws and bolts is everything snaps on me.

Was a little dissapointed in my results, it picked up a lot of surface dirt but there is some real stubborn stains still there.

I'm not understanding, mine has a cap and one screw holding the cap down but I thought you could just screw the MAST part out, it has two flat spots on it for like a wrench to fit on it. All I needed was the MAST part off. When I went to unscrew the MAST it snapped leaving part of the actually MAST still inside. So does the MAST just screw into that base? :confused: On a side note I still get good reception and it looks kinda cool almost like it's a power antenna.

Umm, the antenna mast does screw off doesn't it? because I went to screw mine off and..................it snapped off inside! I want to just make sure before I go and try to get the rest of the piece out.

That's funny there

Got the cleaner and going to give it a go today.

There refrigerants and both are ozone depleting gases, just not as much as freon. But believe me 134a will be obsolete in a short time also, they keep finding safer and safer refrigerants. The goverment takes this very seriously ! To answer question it should be labled what refriderant is in there and also the fittings are different for each refrigerant. Although having to add refriderant is not a good sign don't be surprised if it doesn't hold a charge, mine didn't. Also don't forget to put in refridgerant oil also because if you just add refriderant it's going to burn out the compressor.

One problem with the temp gauge is there is no actual numbers on the gauge so we really don't even know what temp it's at when the needle is in the half way position. I have sat in 100 degree temps on a traffic riddled NYC streets and it didn't budge past 1/4 of the gauge. It's a factory T-stat and maybe am just lucky but I would say past the half way point is not good. With these aluminum blocks you really have to be careful with overheating and also change your anti freeze regularly as it will become acidic after all while and eat away at the block.

Hmmm I thought the Pathfinder had a excellent turning radius.

What would be a GOOD fuel injector cleaner there are so many of them on the market?

Good to hear no more squeal. usually a loose belt will make a squealing noise. In my industry some of the larger fan motors wiil squeal the belt because of all the torque and when you said the belts were tight it lead me to believe maybe there were TO tight. anyway glad it worked out.

Hmm I wonder if you can use spray in bedliner on the external tire carrier. :confused:

I know this is extreme but I the same problem years ago with a Pontiac and after 3 mechanics changed every sensor possible I took it to the dealer and low and behold it was the "computer" that was no good. Good thing for me it was still under warranty. Point being mechanics like to just start replacing sensors and hope it works.

I just changed ALL my belts and no squeeling like a pig. Honestly your belts might be to tight and the torque is making it squeal. You say when the belt gets hot and expands it doesn't squeal.

Hmmm, a steering wheel cover may be in order

Is that what the 95 XE has a 15 gal. tank? I thought it was a 18 gal. tank

I think I may be in trouble, I filled it up last week and reset the tripometer and with a 1/4 tank left it says 120 miles, of course this was ALL city driving but that is horrible. I must have a 18 gal. tank.

At one time I use to transport new cars back and forth to dealers, and the Maxima was one fast car. I will say this although the Maxima is one fast car, the Camry is a better handling car. Good Luck with it.

The last time I put fluid in the rear diff the idiots at jiffy lube blew out my seals.

Good thread and intresting. The previous owner which is a co worker of mine always ran 92 octane in it so I continued to do the same. I haven't put in 87 octane of fear it may start pinging. What you say about unburned fuel may be true because i do get a small smell of fuel around my truck and nothing is leaking. I'm almost at empty and going to give the 87 a try but I really hope it doesn't start pinging.

Yes I just now found it, my apologizes
