A post

I really need to post more often.

So, I figured out what the hesitation is caused by in my car. The #3 fuel injector is dead.

Sooo...

I'll be not driving anywhere for a while, at least not far and not in my car. It'll just sit in the garage until the part arrives, and then until it gets put in the car (pain in the ass).

More to be added later.

This makes me very sad

Stolen pearl white 300zx found.

GEE-TEE-ARR

news 9/24

Wheels and tires all swapped out now, very nice looking.

Now, if you'll excuse me, my car has just started sounding weird.

News 9/8

Have front tires and one wheel, and I'll be ordering the other one next payday. Buying auto parts on a budget sucks. Next comes either exhaust or some suspension upgrades.

Hey look! It's a post!!

So, I took my car to the Nissan dealership out in O-Town yesterday for an inspection (just a periodic look around the car and let me know if some thing's wrong), and had planned to pick it up this morning. So, I head out there at 11 or so, and when I get there the guy tells me their chief mechanic needs to talk to me, but he's on a test drive at the moment. Slightly dreadish feeling there, but it passed.

So he gets back, and tells me that a new guy backed a truck into my left rear quarter panel. I can bring it back and they'll fix it for me over the next week. Also didn't charge for the inspection.

I was pretty calm going through all that at the dealer. Only later in the day did anger kick in. Now feeling angry and in a bit of a funk. If they try to charge me for anything, I will start to get angrier and start to hate.

Edit/update: Repairs took a long ass time, but now everythings okay, and it looks good as new.

Fun car go blah

So, the Twin Turbo 300ZXs come with a rear wheel steering system called HICAS. It kicks in at speeds over 40 mph and turns the rear wheels slightly. This is all well and good, as long as it doesn't malfunction.

Welllllllll, I was driving home tonight, and mine failed. Don't worry, there was no fiery death, nor was there a collision of any kind. Although, now I find myself looking at a kit that will eliminate the HICAS and make my car behave like a normal car.

Also, I discovered that it may be cheaper to just get a custom exhaust made rather than buy one.
