three idiot things on the 99
that makes me wonder about nissans lack of testing before introduction of a product.
- the electrical wires thatrun under where the oil filter is- I get oil on the wires when changing the filter
- the trunk release electric button on the door if you lean on it accidently it actuates the trunk release I only weigh 195
- the fact that the recirc button on the ac reverts to outside air when car is cut off, so to get the coldest air you have to turn recirc back on every time after cutting the car off

My car is a a little over a year younger than me so I didn't have much say in the design while the engineers at Nissan were doing too much drugs and contracting sti's. my biggest complaint is how they strayed too far from the squareness of the 3rd gen, I look at my car sometimes and think it's fat and too bubble boy shaped. Maybe I'm just being self concious

1. After I drain the oil from the pan, I prop the car up on it's side so the oil that comes out of the filter drains straight down. No mess here.
2. In 16 year of ownership, never had that problem. Sit ****ing still, would ya.
3. Agreed, but not that big of a deal. I'm messing with the radio or climate controls anyway.

running a wire where it gets oil on it every time the quick lube in a hurry guy changes the filter???
and the 1999 egr pipe (used only one year?) thatclogs up was not a winner either. $450 labor to clean

disagree, they are so simple a 8 year old boy scount would not have made those design mistakes

This is not the only car that has EGR clogging issues. Seafoaming every now and then would probably help the EGR if people did it, personally I'd never pay for it to be done because anyone can do it if they are willing to spend a couple hours instead of being lazy and tossing $450 at someone for it, unless they make more than $450 in a few hours at their job and if they do props to them
