Q: I have a 2005 Nissan Altima SE-R and the only problem I have with it is the gas millage. Any advise on a fix?
So the whole question is that I have a 2005 Altima SE-R and a 1999 BMW Z3 and I can only keep one. And the Altima has my vote except for its horrible gas millage. Is there anyway to fix the gas millage? And help with my decision?

A: The Altima should be betting better gas mileage than your Z3. It all depends on how you drive it. The tendency with a SE-R is to be in throttle a little too much, of course causing your mileage to go down. With careful driving, you should be seeing at least 24 mpg combined city/hwy. I also like the SE-R more than the Z3.

A: Posted on the drivers door jamb or under the center console lid the sticker says 33 psi. Actually 29 psi to 35 psi depending on conditions how much weight in the car. Also look at page 8-39 to page 8-43 in your owners hand book. Section (9) Just tells you where to look for the tire stickers.

Q: Convertible Car Seats that fits a 2005 Nissan Altima?
I need a rear-facing seat he's not a year, yet. Britax - Marathon, Fisher Price - Safe Voyage Deluxe, or BabyTrend - LatchLoc. Which car seats fit a 2005 Nissan Altima other than these above and with the reasons, why?

A: That's a pretty easy to work with car - and the Britax Marathon/Decathalon/Boulevard (all the same seat, just different features) are great b/c the way the base is made, and the the built in lockoffs make it almost unversal. Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe is a bare bones Marathon, so the base is the same and that would apply, but it does not have lockoffs. You won't need the lockoffs in the 2005 Altima, but if you think you will ever need to install it in a pre '97 car, lockoffs are VERY nice to have! The Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe Convertible seat is great, it is made by Britax, without all the frills. It's the same shell as a Marathon, but for less than half the price. $130 at Albee Baby online with free shipping, or at their eBay name, babysurplus. Rear faces to 33lbs, forward to 55lbs. Easy to use, fits in most cars. A small word of warning about these seats: they are now officially not making them anymore, so the date of manufacture is getting older and older, with many being delivered that are 6+ months old already. Since car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture, this could make a difference to you, especially since its possible your child could fit in the seat for the next 5-6 years. The Britax Marathon/Boulevard/Decathalon (These 3 are the same seat, just different variances of luxury additions, with the Marathon being the cheapest base model) can be found for regular price of $269, and on sale at Albee Baby online for $209-$219. The Marathon a wide open easy to route belt path, which makes using it correctly a lot easier, as do the built in lockoffs, which mean you never again have to use a locking clip. I can get it into 4 different vehicles in under 2 minutes. Because of the way the base is made, it fits in most cars. And, it is worth the money, b/c it lasts usually twice as long as most other car seats (all car seats expire 6 years after the date of manufacture) lasting a baby till they are 5-6 years old, where most at Walmart will only last till 2-4 years old. Rear faces to 33lbs, then forward to 65lbs. and top slots 17inches tall, lasts most kids to ages 5-6 years old. Britax is having one of their semiannual sales from February 24 - March 2. You could snag a Britax seat for $200 or less including shipping! I didn't think Baby Trend made a convertible?! Here's another to consider: Evenflo Triumph Advance. The Evenflo Triumph Advance (not the original Triumph, make sure it says Advance) is a great seat. $150 version at Babies R Us has padding similar to Britax seats, top slots of 17", harnesses to 35lbs rear facing, and 50lbs forward facing. $120 Walmart version just has little less plush padding. Wide open belt path, easy to install, though it doesn't have built in lockoffs. The harness adjusts at the front of the car seat, you don't have to take the car seat out of the car just to raise/lower the straps. It's one of only 2 seats that does this (The Britax Boulevard is the other, I believE), and it has infinite harness adjustment so the harness always fits perfectly until its outgrown. No more tugging straps to tighten them either. You tighten and loosen the harness using knobs on the side of the seat. As a major bonus, it can be used in a recline position even in forward facing mode. Awesome for kids who still sleep in the car. I LOVE THIS SEAT! LOL My son, who is too big for every other car seat at Walmart has the same amount of room in this as the Britax Marathon. Even MORE important than which model is how you use it, keep your baby rear facing AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! Turning kids forward at 20lbs/1year is an outdated practice that could cost you your child's life! American Academy of Pediatrics says to keep kids rear facing to the limit of their convertible car seat. All current models go to at least 30lbs, many higher.

Q: The AC in my 2005 Nissan Altima blows but is not cold and is making a noise?

Q: Does anyone know how to program a key for the 2005 Nissan Altima, for windows to roll down?
Hello - Does anyone know how to program the key for the 2005 Altima? I'd like all the windows roll down as I am approaching the vehicle? Right now only the two front windows roll down, I'd like all 4 to roll down.

A: Four windows down is not possable. Only the cars with express down front window switches can roll two front down. Each front door switch has a computer chip control for window down and up. So do not mess around with a test light on the back of the switch unless you want to buy new switches.(how do I know that?)

Q: Should I trade in my 2005 nissan altima for a newer car and possibly cheaper payment and interest rate?
I own a 2005 Nissan Altima with less than 50,000 miles. I pay $305/Mth and still owe 10,000.

A: Yes, even though Altimas are nice cars.

Q: is a 2005 Nissan Altima with high mileage okay?
I am looking to possibly purchase a 2005 Nissan Altima. My budget is about $12,000 and I have found about 5 Nissan Altimas but all with high mileage (between 70k-80k miles). I am only 18 and this will be my first car so I need something that will last. If I continue to take care of this car, do you think that it'll be able to last well into the 100,000 mileage range? thanks!

A: the 05 with the V6 is a good car avoid 02 & 07 06 & 03 are better than 04's get the V6 not the 4cyl's the brakes and rotors wear out quickly, A common problem on this vehicle is failure of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor, and occasional problems are failures of the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).

Q: How do I program a second key for a 2005 Nissan Altima?
I just purchased a 2005 Altima and it only came with one key and fob. I bought a blank online, had it cut and now want to use it on my car. I have read varying reports online that it is possible and others that say the opposite. If it is possible without forking over large sums of money to the dealer I would like to know. Thanks in advance for your answers.

A: I'd say you have a problem in that it needs to be programmed as you seem to be aware. A good lock and key firm would have to necessary equipment to do this and it won't cost too much, certainly a fraction of the dealer price. You need a spare ços if you lose your key it's dealer dance time. I had a spare cut for my late model ford here in Oz last week, at $A120. They told me the dealer price if I lost it would be thousands.

Q: What is the correct mph/rpm ratio on a 2005 nissan altima?
I just bought a 2005 nissan altima 2.5L and think the rpm's are a little high for the speed I am going. Example - going 60mph the rpms spin at 3500, at 70mph they get close to 4000. It is an automatic transmission, but it feels like it should but won't kick in to a higher gear. any thoughts as to what are the standards for this?

A: Sounds like you are right about it not going into the higher gear. Sounds like the transmission. I have a 2005 sentra that runs at lower rpms than that (I think at 70 it runs under 3000 rpm), and the altima should be running lower than my sentra. I would take it into the nissan dealership as should still be under warranty.
