    Infuriating Brake Job

    On both my supras Ive had that same problem. Once those slides get all gummed up they can be nearly impossible to get off the mount bracket. Here is what I have done with some success. Take the caliper out of the car completely (dont forget to cap off the brake line so you dont drop all your...

    Nissan considering anti-drunk driving tech

    ohh yeah, thats right, that is what it used to be called. I just remember the fuel level one because I was driving that when I was going to college, and I was forever running out of gas in it.

    Oil pump and bearing failure.

    understood and acknowledged. What about temperature? adverse effects from pushing it through to fast? (like, taking out the thermostat in your coolant system is a bad idea)

    Quick question before oil change

    I was actually under the impression from something JetJock said that changing your oil any more frequent than 3000 miles is nothing more than a waste of money. Im not sure but I also kinda got the impression in certain cases it can have adverse effects.

    Oil pump and bearing failure.

    I have no idea what pressure would need to be to cause it, but isnt it true that in a HVLP motor like the 7M extreme pressures can cause the oil to act like a "pressure sprayer" and "scour" the bearings? Ive heard others mention this, but dont know what kind of truth there is behind it.

    Nissan considering anti-drunk driving tech

    ROFL Nissan - We dont let blondes buy our cars! I remember my 84 300ZX talked telling me stuff like "Fuel level is low" (no shit bitch! thats why Im pushing it to the gas station!) I can hear it now..."You are either drunk, or too stupid to drive...please try again later"

    Nsx, This is a BADASS car!

    Oh, Tim I forgot to tell you after you left there was a black 89+ turbo parked across the sreet as well. Swaq, now that the students are back there might even be a few more supras around here for all we know. But we should get together for a little mini meet anyways. If we can get an extra...

    Transmission slippage?

    He stripped you of the title, but not the "winner" status. You will always be that. As for your problem, I know next to nothing about automatics except that when they start slipping...they umm..........need fixing!?

    Hot wheel

    contrary to some advice here, just lubing the slides MAY not fix the problem. One of the last posters hit on a possible problem that I in fact have on one of my front calipers. I redid both slides on my left front brake and I still have pad hang. Its because the piston is not returning (its only...
