pinging?..most likely MAF cheap fix = 01 maxima MAF

[vq35]

I HAVE A MANUAL 01 SE and have had the pinging issues at the low end - finally solved the issues with a new $88 MAF from nissanparts.cc - u can do it urself and it will restore your car to new - mine has 160km on it and i replaced the plugs and cleaned the intake etc but nothing changed til i replaced the MAF - the stealership wants 600+ for the pathy - this worked for a lot of ppl as well - maybe not what ur problem is but most likely if all is good but theres is a pinging problem around town - good luck and hope this helps
