  1. Any idea where I can get the hose? I'm hoping Autozone carries it. Not overfilling the tank won't be too much of a problem, since I use my Pathy as a second vehicle. I've only been putting about $10 worth in since I use my 2014 Cruze as new my daily driver. But I still would like to fix the few things wrong with her lol. Its just been too good of a vehicle. Being here in PA, winters really suck. And I don't have alot of faith in the Cruze for in snow.
  2. I'm thinking thats the thing to do. I just have to find where the other end of the hose will connect to.
  3. I've looked up the part number, and Tasca Parts seem to be the only ones who carry it. I haven't been able to find it at Rock Auto. Only the vapor cannister and solenoid.
  4. I recently got a trouble code for my Evap system. The code was for a possible clog or leak in my Evap system. While under my Pathy today, I found this hose looking like its sheered off of something. The only trouble is, I can't find anything that it may connect to. I'm stumped since I can't find any pics on Google for how the system should be connected.
  5. Is it possible to use a Y adapter to make the exhaust pipes fit to a single inlet muffler? I've found a slew of them on Amazon.
  6. Well, I meant would it be ultimate cheaper to have a Flowmaster welded in, or just get another stock muffler. Because the reason I ask, is that back in December I had just bought myself a 2004 Mustang 40th Anniversary. I've been driving that for over the summer, and will likely only use the Pathy all the time for in the winter. I love both cars, and want them both to be properly up to specs. As far as the body work goes, I don't have any issue buying a new factory rear bumper fascia, but to order a new fender panel from Nissan directly is close to $900. This one salvage years that has the 99 would cost me $38 for the panel. Though thats because I have to come and pull it off myself. But I hate to spend it and it not fits my Pathy properly. Another yard has a black 03, and the panel would cost about $250.
  7. Ok, I have an 03 R50 that has some issues now. My exhaust system is rusted out where the muffler meets the tail pipe. The pipe has rusted cleanly off. I was curious what everyone thinks would be the best and above all cheapest way to repair it. I've been researching on the web, and the stock muffler as called for by Nissan are $20-$40 MORE than an equivalent Flowmaster or AP Xlerator muffler. But I know the FM and AP will require custom fabrication to fit. Also back in February, during a storm I lost control (out of my own stupidity) and banged up the side of my Pathy. I need a new rear fascia, and passenger side rear fender panel. And thats not considering any damage to the bumper mounts under the rear facia. Its kind of **** eyed on one side. Plus she's going to need repainted her Burnt Copper color. I've found a 99 R50 at a local salvage yard. I'm certain the rear fascia won't match but is there any chance the fender panel will fit my 03?
  8. Well, I just got back from the garage for an estimate on the work needed. They said the same thing as you did about the tailpipe. Its attached to the resonator and the cheapest way to fix it, was to eliminate it and replace it with straight pipe. About $91 ballpark to fix it. The belts they told me have started to dry rot. The insides are starting to crack pretty bad. They tried the old bar of soap method and it quieted down a bit. Then tried the lubricant and it quieted down completely..........for about 30 seconds. I managed to get my wind diverter, rood rack centerpiece off......now it REALLY needs washed on the roof lol. Out the door I was quoted for about $250 to have the tailpipe fixed and new belts installed.
  9. Ok, It's been a good while since I've posted here. But I'm in some need of some suggestions. Just driving my 03 R50 today, and my tailpipe just fell off. It rotted away over the last winter it seems. It broke off at the muffler itself. Would I be correct to say that I'm going to need to replace the muffler as well? Because if I am, I plan on getting an aftermarket Magnaflow muffler to replace it. Also at least one of my belts on the engine are noisy. It whistles as it runs now, but when its cold and damp out (like every morning in winter the last 4 years lol), it squeals like crazy until it warms up. I've dealt with it for 4 years now, its more of an annoyance than anything else. (both to me and my neighbors lol) Also last fall my centerpiece on my roof rack had broke due to a direct hit from a walnut the size of a baseball. Needless to say it has a big crack down the passenger side of it. I'm more concerned over my tailpipe most of all lol.
  10. The guys who run the local kayak shop in my town, always tell me just to use the factory roof rack and some quality cam straps. So thats what I always have used on mine. They say you can put up to 4 10 foot kayaks on top of a mid size SUV. Though I've never actually tried it. I've only gone as far as 2 boats. Tie the first boat to the roof rack with the cockpit facing down. Make sure its as far over as you can push it. Then tie the other boats with the cockpits facing the first boat. Tie each boat to the next boat. It has worked for me so far.
  11. Just got my stereo installed last night. Took about 3 hours of soldering, and drilling to get everything installed. The hard part was getting the brackets off from the Bose head unit. Who ever installed the unit must have used an impact wrench to mount it. BUT everything works really well. I'm loving the Bluetooth function on it, and it thumps ALOT more than the Bose unit. Although I am just kind of missing the CD changer a bit.
  12. Well I have the stereo ordered and should arrive sometime mid next week. Christmas is coming early this year lol.
  13. Sounds good, I hope to have everything ordered by the end of the week. Gotta love payday!
  14. Agreed, I know how you feel. About 2 years ago I was rear ended, and almost totalled. As far as the parts, I was interested in the cargo nets. Mine never had any when I bought it. Maybe the mats too.
  15. Sounds good, I think Crutchfield is my best and cheapest route. I can't wait to upgrade. I plan on using my old Droid Incredible as an MP3 player with the Bluetooth function. I don't want to waste the battery of my iPhone 5 when my Incredible is just gathering dust. I have a use for it again!
  16. Sweet, I just checked Pioneers website. It says it have 2 preamp outputs. I assume I can use the other output for like a sub? Sorry but car audio has never been a strong suit of mine lol.
  17. Yeah my truck has the Bose sound system in it. SO I'm going to need a wiring harness, radio antennae adapter, and a line output converter. Trying to find this out now, so I can order everything at the same time. I hate buying stuff and having to wait on parts later on lol.
  18. Amazon doesn't specifically say the stereo fits. Does that matter too much?
  19. Actually I'm getting a double DIN unit, and using the stock speakers.
  20. Hey guys, I'm finally looking to replace the stereo in my Pathy. What parts would I need to be able to have it done? A buddy of mine is good at stereo installation, and it'll only cost me a pizza to have it done lol. I've decided on the stereo I want, but I have no idea what parts I need to install it. Heres the stereo I want: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-FH-X700BT-In-Dash-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B0091UW7F6/ref=sr_1_4?srs=2530157011&ie=UTF8&qid=1377475459&sr=8-4&keywords=pioneer+stereo
  21. Lol, in my case I work 2 jobs and am usually too tired to really care when I get off work. I usually use the phrase, I can do it tomorrow. And then never do lol.
  22. Well, I really can't complain that since the accident. She's almost completely new from the front doors to the back bumper lol. I will admit she has atleast one squeaky fan belt and I still haven't fixed the SES light. Though thats just reprogramming the computer to the new Throttle Body. Just haven't had the time to do it lol.
  23. My speakers sound fantastic, I won't complain at all about them. But my problem lies in the head unit itself. I've found others having similar trouble that the head unit skips repeatedly. In my case its when its cool outside like early morning, and all winter lol. I've since given up and started using a cassette iPod adapter to listen to my music. But it doesn't sound as good, not to mention lots of wires all over the place. It's about the only real complaint I've had for my Pathy.
  24. Thats what I was afraid of. I sort of thought as much, being that it was the first car stereo that got donated that was still new in its original packaging. I did just see 2 on Amazon I like: http://www.amazon.com/Blaupunkt-Cupertino-Receiver-iPhone-Control/dp/B008FYF9L8/ref=sr_1_1?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1372474020&sr=1-1 and http://www.amazon.com/Sony-WX-GT90BT-Bluetooth-Remote-Pandora/dp/B00B74Z67K/ref=sr_1_5?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1372474241&sr=1-5
  25. Hey guys, I've been off for a while due to work concerns, but I'm back lol. I have a good question for everyone. I'm on a shoe string budget at the moment, and while I'm at work today at Goodwill. A Boss Audio 720A car stereo got donated. Still new in the box. I'm debating on whether to snag it. It's priced at 40 bucks. I'm finally about had it with the stock Bose system in my 03 Pathy. The thing skips now at any temperature below scorching hot. I'm damn near desperate for a good deal on a new stereo lol.
