^do ittt... And report back, I want to know how long I can run my car before filling up. Calculate how many miles you got until the tank ran dry and how many gallons it took when you filled it up (include the WHOLE gallon of gas you have to put in to get from where you died to a gas station) And in case anyone is worried, running out of gas isn't going to damage a damn thing. It puts a little wear on the fuel pump, but other than that no...

yeah i'll remember to add in that extra gallon. I still have a 1/4 of a tank to go before i hit the E mark and even then i can probly go another 70-100 miles. That road trip program i have actually lets you specify whether you're doing a full tank or partial fill, which comes in handy when i only put a half a tank in and it keeps the average mpg numbers from getting screwed up. it's pretty cool. since sept 10, it says i've...

like drunk said about the power steering, ALSO.. i would check for vacuum leaks.

...Any thoughts on 20" x 8" -OR- 8.5" with a 225/35/20? My current rims are shot. Cracked one. The size of my current rims are 19" x 7.5", with a 215/35/19. I'm in a debate on whether to get another set of 19"s, and keep my Falken tires (because they were $600 and they are brand new in EXCELLENT condition), OR just say F*CK IT, and get some 20"s with a 225/35/20. I want to...

Awesome, now I just need to find another switch. I had to use mine for a buddy of mine. We wired his horn to my on-off switch rather than the stock momentary switch, so when people cut him off he just follows them with the horn blaring.

Its pretty easy after u take all that stuff off. I would start with the fenders, there easy to take off.Then everything in the front as u done. check if the bottom part of ur radiator support in bent, if it is u may need to change the bottom motor support. Check cragslist there may be a altima that being partd out, also check cretifit.com some of there parts are cheap. And i didnt weld my radiator support back on either some the same reasons...

The radiator support took me a good while to remove. I did most of the work in the early morning hours and it took me a...

The rpm change while turning the power steering is normal behavior. The ECU senses the power steering pressure switch and ramps up the idle in anticipation of a turn that would increase the engine load. You can test this by unplugging the power steering pressure switch. The combination of poor gas mileage and rough engine idle tells me you are running quite rich. The spark plugs should show that. I would troubleshoot the problem as if it were...

so are 2nd gens 65 series and 1st gens 60 series? i always thought the two were the same...
