I know I sound paranoid, but this is reality! A decade ago, I had no time to do brake fluid flush, so I paid a local Firestone to do it. Do you think they did it? NO! I drove the car home, pulled one wheel off to find out that the bleeder valves were never touched. Drove back to speak with the...

Thx for all the help. I've thought of all the options above, and more. Plugs will be nearly impossible to mark, if I could get to them, I'd just change them myself. These plugs are commonly used on most superbikes, so I'm sure mechanics have used ones laying around from replacing them on their...

Hi fellas, need some help resolving a dilemma I got. I'm overdue on sparkplugs on my '16 Zx14R, and I'm not willing to take on to the task myself as they're major pain to get to on this particular bike. I don't mind paying a shop to do it, but how do I ensure that they would in fact do the...

The 1.6 in your Versa is not a Nissan or Renault engine. It's the HR16DE, made by this company: <a href="http://www.aichikikai.co.jp/en/" target="_blank">www.aichikikai.co.jp/en/</a> check them out. They also make the problematic 6MT found in all 350Z/G35/G37 models (that has beem redesigned...

since you want us to talk you out of it... I was seriously considering one. Visited the VW TDI forums and I read that some have issues with the high pressure common rail pump? (not sure if I said this right). Failures are a costly fix. VW blamed them on bad diesel, owners say it is design...

This tires are GARBAGE! Had good luck with KH16's on my '97 altima, so I bought the KR21s for my wifes altima, and they simply stunk! Awful wet/snow traction. One rear tire developed a bubble on the side wall, like an impact break, but wife swears never hit anything. Fronts vibrated badly (with...

Have had similar experience with few (5) Wix filters on 3 different vehicles over the years. Figured anti drainback valve failures. Valve train noise/chatter during cold starts, every time, which resolved after swaping out filter. So, that was a waste of 5 filters. I guess I didnn't save any...

Early QR2.5's had issues with pre cat internals falling apart and particles being ingested back into the engine causing piston ring damage and oil consumption. Unfortinately, that looks like what happened in your case. Some '05 and '06 2.5 models have oil consumprion issues because Nissan got a...

The big deal is that the car came misaligned from the factory, and Nissan doesn't stand behind their product. If they would have offered me a free alignment I would have been happy. From my research, this is an on-going problem on most Z cars, and reocurrs even after new tires/alignment. I...

The front tires on my 16-month old 350Z with 14k mi are badly cupped on the inside and make loud humming noise at low speeds, worse when braking. They've been doing this since 5-6k mi, and it's been getting progressively worse. I was well aware of the front tire fethering issues on the 03-04...

Have been using this in my '08 gsx-r1000 without any complaints. I decided to check the level the other day after a long ride (hit rev limiter couple of times at 13,750rpm), and it was normal, but there was quite a bit of foam on the surface. Should I be concearned? Might try the T6 5w40 mext...

Was looking under my '97 Alti the other day while it was on a lift, and brake lines were badly coroded, as well as some suspension parts, nuts, bolts, exhaust hangers... Is there a product out there I can apply to these areas (on a newer vehicle) to prevent/delay the corosion process? I know...

Wife got about 65k mi out of the OEM Contis on her '06 Altyma. There is nothing wrong with the car, had the alignment checked. Forgot to mention, two of them (KR21s) won't hold air for long, rims and valve stems are good. I hate this tires! I'm glad most of you have good luck with them.

I never started the engine. Filled it with oil, and let it sit over the winter. Drained all oil out last week, replaced filter, poored 3.8qts back which is normal capacity. The owners manual suggests that the crancase be filled with oil all the way up to the filler hole when bike is in...
