well, technically doesn't it have to receive a spark of electricity to ignite that fuel?

 

yes, the Electric spark starting the electric 'motor' starter will then turn the flywheel thus turning the crank.......but no one builds the starter......they build the engine.....and then electricty to spark the spark plug, but the engines runs on fuel not on electricity - what it "runs" on is where the definition is derived......meh....

thus the term engine build.......not motor build.......i hate seeing it mentioned that way is all i guess....

i dunno, its the engineer in me getting all fussy..

I see I see. so you're saying it's "built engine" as opposed to "built motor?"

 

jes...jes i am............that should be the proper term used........meh...

^^^^lmao - ocd pwns!

 

dammn..

 

This little debate came from Kristi wanting to know if anybody ever taken there Z in for a recall of a fuel line replacement? Haha. Built motor, built engine..such technical talk. I see it as the same thing.

Jake did you ever pick up that plasma that u were talking about?

 

BUILT ENGINE dammn it........you have ocd.....you should be getting this right!

lulz....

Ha ha, but I'm a ricer and I know nothing but to make the car look nice

Jason what time do u get home? I'm gonna stop by on my way to work to drop off the tools. Thanks for letting me use it. The dewalt almost snapped my wrist.

 

Fuel line recall is only for those with 03s and early 04s, I think. I had mine done 3-4 years back when I still had warranty. Supposedly, the fuel line in question could burst and cause a fire or something. That's why there's a recall and recommended that you get it serviced.

 

about 415 I get home....meet me there..

-J

 

I did sir - and we are already thinkin of putting that in the master bedroom and getting another...LOL.. but Im trying to hold off on that - I got other things I want MORE than a TV..

 

I'll be there around 445 or so.

 

so with TSB's if our 03's out of warranty it's coming out of pocket?

 

TSB stands for Technical Service Bulletin. That means it's just a guide for Nissan mechanics to follow when performing those services. If you're under warranty, then it'll be covered by Nissan, but you'll be charged if you do not have warranty. Recall is different in that Nissan takes care of the unknown issue at their cost, regardless of warranty status.

 

good info, thanks! haven't seen you around even we live maybe 3 miles apart lol

 

What about when they say "running on all motor" to mean only the engine? Haha.

 

All motor, no trans, no intake, no exhaust, just motor! NOT EVEN AN ECU, THAT'S WEIGHT REDUCTION FOO!!!

Oh umm, I don't check this often enough to know wtf ever goes on in this thread.... ::backs away slowly::

 

that's kinda like the kool aid man bursting through the wall in the courtroom on family guy. didn't know why he did it, but he did it.
