  1. Not viewing that "Why's my junk so short" thread anymore.

      So, you only viewed it for a week?

      Yeah. Had a lot to digest.

      Finally figured out the reason, though.

       

  2. This. Just replace your plugs and wires to start. It's cheaper if you buy the parts and replace them yourself. If you have questions about how to do it, ask! Just post here or, PM one of us and we'll be happy to guide you. It's really easy to do and you'll feel good about fixing it yourself.
  3. You must have an auto parts store around you somewhere? Most of them provide free code scans so that they can sell you the parts you need.
  4. Town has a good point. If you can find the code (usually free at a big box auto parts store) you could figure out which cylinder has the misfire. Might be as simple as a bad plug wire or a tainted rotor button in the dizzy cap.
  5. And apparently, as Google suggests! (slip vdc off) << I don't think the 99.5 has these indicators in the cluster?
  6. Are you sure about the alternator? I know at idle there is not much load on it. Try retesting the voltage with as many power accessories on as possible and give the motor a little rev. Might be worth a recheck. *edit ... The ABS light would come on if it was a loose/dirty/bad sensor. Mine has been on sporadically due to these issues but, like XPLORx4 suggested, I'd still take a look at the brake fluid level to eliminate that possibility.
  7. My 99.5 has the chipped key.
  8. Unh-uh .. I'm with Slarti on this one. The ole' rule is .. "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." *edit .. voluntary removal of blood eating rabbit from the quoted movie .. this ain't Po-ho!
  9. Where are you planning on installing the second battery? (I'm assuming this = 35 mins of debating?)
  10. I believe the fenders are a little different ... aren't they?
  11. It's fun to watch a grown up R50 on the big stuff.
  12. I love the details. Painted the retaining pin!
  13. I did competition stereo back in the early '90's. I have never seen an attempt like this. Kudos!!

      Did you find that on Kyles facebook?

       

  15. I'll bet not. The engineers at Nissan only wanted to screw the '96 crowd. The rest of us "lucky's" get no camber issues at all!

  17. About twelve or so years ago my wife and I rented a car in Phoenix and took the desert trip to Vegas. We stayed the night in Flagstaff before doing a Jeep tour through some trails in Sedona. That was the exact moment I told her that I was going to buy a 4x4 which, thankfully, turned out to be my Pathfinder. I have dreamed about wheeling there in my own ride ever since. Nice vids man!
  18. Ha! Trusting my instincts saved my interwebs hide. I actually cut the hoses off of my wife's car to remove the intake plenum. When I put my hands on the donor motor, I broke the seal ( ) by twisting the hoses clockwise/anti-clockwise before pulling on them. They came off surprisingly easy.
  19. Sensory overload. I want to run with this but, my two "targets" are moderators and can possibly ban me.
  20. I find that if you take channel locks and put a little wiggle on the stubborn hose it will break loose pretty easily. I went through the "hose won't budge" issue with my wife's Honda when I changed out the cylinder head on that POS.
  21. You did what I would consider a years worth of work for me in a day? Post a pic in the ToTM and you'll get my vote. I don't care what the category!
