oh, eesh! i'm sorry, how would i know you have an 03

 

I have an 03 Touring and both my FOBs have the hatch release button.

 

That's weird, I have the panic button instead.

 

I dont understand why so many people say its not possible to use ramps. I have used them since day 1 on my 07. If you buy the right gear you will have less problems. It is possible.


Pardon the rock chips in the paint.

 

LOL

 

lets see...

weird clicking noise

extremely hard to have sex in

windows down with remote but no putting them up

how many doushe bags drive Hondas

I can fit three girls in there with me

 

Well, I don't know whats different but my fender would be 'hitting' the ramp. I'll snap a pic when I get a chance. I actually found jacks to be better anyway. I can lift the car much higher off the ground which is nice when using a creeper, no way I could squeeze under there with ramps alone.

 

Lifts are sometimes a pain in the *** to get under there as well. Just depends on the lift.

 

looks like your right hand...suPPose you have found "ole righty" a time or two

 

how do you turn off the horn and can you turn it bck on when you do turn it off??

 

i fit 3 too

 

so when ur walkin to ur car and its hot out, u can have the car air out for a few secs before u get in ... im guessing

 

but it IS possible

 

I found out that I'm

 

I learned that my stability control should be smarter.

When I grab 2nd gear real hard and slip the tires the traction control often engages and cuts power. Does anybody else hate that?

I wish my stability control was smart enough to override my traction control in that circumstance. .. ie if the steering wheel is straight and the throttle is at or near 100% and the yaw sensor isn't detecting any sideways motion, then I probably intended to lay down a 2nd gear scratch and it shouldn't cut power.

I guess it is probably because traction control and stability control are two different systems. If Nissan had only offered a full stability control option it probably could be smarter and have better 'sports car' tuning.

Ya ya, I know I could just turn it off, but I prefer to leave it on. I know it can provide un-human / outstanding assistance under dire situations if called upon.

 

Here's my list, and I know most of the following have been featured with DIY guides. But it just frustrates me.

- Driver side door panel starts falling off.

- Passanger side cup holder is nice, but seriously fragile. It's been knocked off countless times, only takes a second to stick it back in but it gets annoying after awhile.

- Being quite a conservative driver (I live in LA and commutes between Pasadena and Santa Monica, CA drivers you know it's a battlefield out there on the 10 and the 110 every morning of everyday and I can literally count the days when I can even go past 30 mph let alone meeting the speed limit), I was espeically irritated when my 3rd gear started grinding at just past 30K miles. Took it to West Covina Nissan and was told I will have to get a new transmission. 3 days later, called and told me it was my clutch the whole time and I have to spend $1000+ to get the clutch replaced. My previous 240X (R.I.P.) was running wild and free past 100K miles with no trouble at all.

- Rear axel clicked. Dealership lubed it and all that, it's fine now.

- 6 CD changer skips faster than Thumper. Eventually I just got tired of it and went to my iPod.

- Dead pedal just fell off. Dealership just pulled it out after unsuccessfully trying to install it while they were waiting to roll my car in to swap the transmission. It's been out ever since. Again, being quite a conservative driver, things like this frustrates me quite a bit, since I've always been so deliberately gentle with this car.

This is just some of the things I can think of on top of my head while at work. I've decided to take this in to get it fixed. Contacted Andy@performance who very nicely replied to me very quickly, pointing me to Tim@performance. I haven't heard from Tim yet. Anyway, I'll leave it at this.

And yes, I don't know what the VDC do either even though I know what it stands for. Not that I'll probably ever need it, but if anyone has experience driving with or without VDC and know the difference, it'd be nice to know.

 

That Kmart carries better head units than the stock BLOSE POS.
That Nissan cannot design a good push button mechanism for the cubbies.
That Z paint chips so easily. As a matter of fact I just got a chip typing this.

 

That the god damn window motors/regs suck.

Never in all of my 8 vehicles I have owned have I had issues like this.

2 motors 1 reg numerous resets ****ing piece of ****

 

I found out that every time I start the engine and it growls at me I have to think about dead kitten so I don't get a stiffy.

 

I bought my Z without even driving it or sitting in it...so everything was a surprise to me haha
