Hello from Bellingham!
-
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).

Your description is vague, but I can only think it is the a/c condenser.
-
No price, "as seen on TV", gimmicky website. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
-
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sway bar = stabilizer bar

So that is the purpose of the cover on my distributor. Never realized it was actually a splash shield.

Oh come on! At least I'm trying!

In front of Bellis Fair mall.

I don't know what you are talking about, B.
BRB, going to the mall.

They make them for Honda Civics, as well. So it's not some super fantastical part.

Your link doesn't work.

You people are just being lazy.
Post a picture of your car in a puddle with the water up to the wheel. The tire has to be completely submerged. Easy if you have low pros, more interesting if you're rocking offroad tires.
WINNER
How about a pic of your car with a homeless person holding an I <3 DI sign?
WINNER
TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR CAR DOING A BURNOUT @ A BUSY (more than 2 car) STOP LIGHT!! GO
WINNER
Post a photograph of your car at a busy stop sign while you are outside. Must be at least 3 vehicles also at the sign.good luck
WINNER
approved? if so next challenge is, get a picture of a sonic employee on skates in the back seat of your vehicle. bonus points for opposite gender.
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?

We were talking about standard transmission not automatics. I have replaced many duel clutch disk on heavy trucks but have never seen a duel disk clutch on a standard transmission on a car or light truck. If you have please give examples.
James
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.

Banned for making me think of doughnuts every time I read his name.
I hate doughnuts.

Multi layers would give more clutch surface area. Thats why big trucks have two friction disk with a plate in between. It takes a large dished flywheel with drive lugs for the middle plate. It would basically add the weight of another flywheel to our little motor though.
James
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.

I can't imagine what that cost to set up, but way cool!! What an amazing SAR tool!!
B
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.

sounds almost like a short where something is constantly discharging
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.

The biggest factor is reducing brake fade is finding the right brake pad. The next is getting as much material in the brake rotor to dissipate any generated heat. Slotting and cross-drilling rotors reduce mass.
Slotted and C-drilled rotors were created for motorsports applications where the brakes received sudden, and extreme applications that would cause pad-gassing temps in a split second, and where there were only mere moments too cool between applications. On the street, they are merely for looks.

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.
