I had no idea where the fuel door button was the first time I had to get gas. Plus it was dark outside. I had to get the manual out. LOL

I didn't know how much I would hate BOSE and the way they setup their system so that it would be hell just to change speakers.

Nothing. I carefully read everything on the Nissan site before buying and read the manual page for page after getting the Zzzzzz.

Anyone?

has anyone noticed that even with the heater/ac off, there's warm air flowing through the vents while driving or is this just a problem on my car (o4 ppw enthusiast 6mt)?

I just noticed what sounds like an electric motor as I move the car forward just after start up. It's a very short buzzing noise and I can feel the vibration as well...I think it's the fuel pump priming or something.

nope that happens to me too. '06 touring roadster. but i like it because it gets a little cold sometimes and it warms me up w/o turning on the heat.

The thing I noticed is when slowing down at a light, the engine consistently makes a nice growl as it spools down after I clutch in... happens when the engine goes from about 2000rpms to idle I think.

How do you open the hatch without the remote? I know there is a pull switch underneath the rear brace, but is there a button somewhere else? I read the manual and never saw anything about it. Thanks! Fletch

There's a little rubber button right above your license plate in the middle. You should be able to feel it. Your door(s) needs to be unlocked in order to open it with that button.

Holy crap! That's like magic! I guess that does make sense though if you think about minivans and other cars with hatches. They all have releases in similar places. Wow, you learn something new everyday! Thanks!

Make sure you have "recirculate" mode on instead of "outside air" on. Outside air just happens to come through your engine bay before it gets to you hence the heat.
