  1. Replace your thermostat. When filling the radiator, start the engine and let it run while filling it. It will burp several times and over flow a couple. after it stops burping for a little bit, replace the cap and let the car continue to run. Once it is fully up to temp for a while, shut it off, let it cool off completely, and do it again.
  2. There are a lot of factors that can cause a pull. Everything from tweaked suspension pieces, over worn tires, slipped belts in the tires, to improper procedures. The "cycling" of the suspension is a little drastic. I've done hundreds upon hundreds of them and have never had to drive the car as described to get it to settle. A few well weighted jounces on slip plates will settle the suspension properly, if the slip plates are maintained Plus, most alignment machines will not allow you to drive the car while aligning it because you have sensors mounted to the wheels, which are then calibrated to the wheel run-out.
  3. My friend has these on his hardbody. He had all 4 siped and has no traction issues in snow (we've got 8 inches on Thanksgiving).
  4. Your description is vague, but I can only think it is the a/c condenser.
  5. No price, "as seen on TV", gimmicky website. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
  6. Like what has been said above, it is just condensation mixing with your oil. You need to get the engine up to temp and keep it there long enough to evaporate all the condensation that builds up on short trips.
  7. Long read, but worth it. A couple recount their 53 day journey driving across the Democratic Republic of Congo in a Toyota Land Cruiser. The stuff they encounter it amazing. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50799
  8. Faulty injector 0-rings WILL NOT introduce fuel in to your oil. You will either have a vacuum leak or fuel will leak on to your intake manifold. There is NO path between the injectors to the oil pan other than through your piston rings. Do a compression test and I bet you will find one or two cylinders very low with ring blow-by.
  9. Snorkels are pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbQohYlnILg&feature=player_embedded
  10. When was that picture taken? Pics need to be taken after the challenge was set or the game sucks as no one does anything except scrounge through old photobucket albums.
  11. Everything is the same size, just different brand front and rear. Next challenge: Your Pathfinder parked next to another Pathfinder that you do not own.
  12. So that is the purpose of the cover on my distributor. Never realized it was actually a splash shield.
  13. Oh come on! At least I'm trying!
  14. In front of Bellis Fair mall.
  15. I don't know what you are talking about, B. BRB, going to the mall.
  16. They make them for Honda Civics, as well. So it's not some super fantastical part.
  17. You people are just being lazy. WINNER WINNER WINNER WINNER I won that one. Do you have any idea how akward it was asking a complete stranger to sit in the back of my car so I could take a picture?
  18. Many of the cars I posted in THIS thread run 2 or 3 disc clutches (the Ford had a 4 disc). Many companies make them including Exedy, who makes the factory Nissan clutches.
  19. Banned for making me think of doughnuts every time I read his name. I hate doughnuts.
  20. Not in car and light truck applications. The steel plates between the friction plates is splined to the transmission input shaft and is no thicker that the steel plate that the friction surfaces are riveted to. It adds very little to the rotating weight of the engine.
  21. If you go to his channel you can find videos of him going over the complete setup. His system is pretty top of the line, but you can get everything you need to start for around $500, not including the plane.
  22. This is the first thing I thought of. If you have an amp meter, hook it up to the positive side of the battery in series WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE OFF (or else you will just start blowing through fuses in the amp meter). The current draw at this stat should be extremely low - around .1 amp max. If it is higher than that, start pulling fuses one at a time and checking the meter readings. Once you pull the fuse of the faulty system the amp reading will drop and you will know where to start digging. Oh, and also make sure none of the interior lights are on when you are checking the meter readings.
