Now after i got the belt replace it was too lose and still made the Winning noise so you tighten the Tension on it .. But if its too tight it will make a whistling kind of noise ..
(hope that make sense)

I bought a 2k 5spd SE today and wanted to know if you guys had any objections to buying a 5th gen over a 5.5. I know about the 3.5l engine but did not see any major reason not to get it because of the price i got the car for. Is there any real BIG things ill miss out on besides the power?

In truth, I don't care about the 3.5 engine itself, but I surely would love to have the 6MT on the 5.5 gen...for gear ratios AND for highway gas mileage.

I saw what you did there. Not all the engines have the ring issue. The 6mt is nice, the engine is a little bit more powerful. My 96 engine was solid. My 03 engine is solid. The 6mt allows me to cruise at 75 at 2k rpm. I dont like the look of 6th's, I prefer 4th's, but 5th's are growing on me.

Hey guys,
I'm going to take off the splash guards on my '02 and just wanted to know if there is any way to do it besides taking off the wheel. Looks like the only possibility to me. Thanks.

I got a 2001 SE and my abs light just recently came on. I tried researching the problem on here but there doesn't seem to be a common cause to the problem that I could find.
I know I need to replace my rotors & pads (just from driving not from the light) but do you think this could have caused my ABS light to come on? If not what could be the problem...and the bottom line, how much is this going to cost me?

It's the ABS light and I also notice a low sounding rumbling coming from my brake pedal area whenever I start the car. Sounds like something starting or trying to kick in...very low sound but I'm an observant person lol.
If it is one of the sensors how much do you think that'll cost?

ECU programming time?
A quick question, does anyone know how much ACTUAL time it should take a car dealer to flash the ECU? The crazy **** service guy said 2 hour which sounds ridiculous for a plug and play.
thanks again!
thanks again!

okay so when i leave my car in park, it will die pretty consistently in about 5-30 seconds. I've learned that this is probably an IACV goin out.
My car's acceleration from rest is very uneven. I will depress the gas pedal and smoothly, but it is like it takes a sec to grab. And when it does get up and go, it jumps up in revs like i floored the thing.
Is this most likely the IACV too? or am i lookin at more than one problem?
this is on a 2k automatic. thanks org.
And oh yeah, any idea on what a new IACV costs?

ive had this problem since i bought the car..the left front headlight does not work on low beam

ive been googling all over and searching this forum for the past 6 months with no results related to my car
i found stuff about the 4th gen having this problem but its probly not related to this

My windows seem to stick to the top of the rubber lining when rolling them down. It even looks like this effect has thrown 2 of my windows off their tracks. Any sort of recommendations on what I should use to lubricate the molding in there?

lubricate with silicon spray (its non-oil based so it wont attract more dirt)

he was bumping the thead to keep it on top so we dont have lots of little threads
Err untill now i havent really cared about this problem, i was told its common w/ nissans but i really didnt care because i would buy gas at $15 a time lol. But whenever i go to fill up i cant even get to mebey a third of a gallon w/ out the gas sloshing out.... and this is filling it up slow. Is there a breather hose or something i need to clear out?

Sorry for asking these noob Q's, as I know this has been covered.. having search difficulties seriously patience is gone. RSB and brakes on the way looking for further suspension complements.
1- LTB (stage 2 of course) eliminates the need for FSTB (or rather makes it not worth it)?
2- Where do you buy the OTTO FSTB as I CANNOT find where. Link for the for the noob please. :/
3- A few tips on using search as I am getting frustrated with it.
