Ok just ran into an issue with my car maybe u guys can help.
I was outside tighting my squealing belt, playing music from my car, when I started it and drove to check if everything was fine my battery and brake lights come on when im idling or not pressing the gas, as soon as I step on the gas, even slightly, they go away. Now ive searched and all the threads lead me to believe its the alternator but every thread the issue is they stay on and not go away. But mine go away when I hit the gas. You guys think its just a grounding prob? I just replaced my old alt with a 125amp alt from advanced just 2 months ago

Yeah I ordered the 125 amp brand new which was the most expensive one they had thinking it wouldnt have any issues and looks like I was wrong. You think its still under warranty after 2 months? I cant find my order receipt smh

And yeah, it should still be under warranty after 2 months.
I'm not worried about a ban. I would probably profit from it. Actually, I would argue we all would. My point is that we're all human (some a smidge or two less than others) whether we're the admin or not. People using the anonymity of the internet to hide behind their pretentious selves can be written off by some as the way it goes, but I'm not like that in real life. I would object if wrong happened in front of me, democracy or not. To say you would do any less because it is the 'law of the land' in some environments is a weak argument to having a lack of ethics at best and a lack of testicular fortitude at worst.
Nah i only tighten the pulley because i bypassed the ac compressor with a shorter belt the compressor is bad, i just torque it down and its been fine since. When it starts to squeal on start-ups i just loosen the bolt and tighten the pulley back down and its fine again. hasnt squealed since i replaced the alt 2 months ago

"Brobaru" I've never heard that one before. I have heard of Brolution. I was never one to follow the crowd. Honestly I didn't even know there was as larger of a maxima community as there is. I wanted to mod a maxi because I've never seen one locally modified. They are either beat to **** and wrecked or pristinely maintained stock with some old person driving it.

why do I always have to restart my windows 7 laptop when i want to keep internet connection?
Rephrase: I can not close the lid and put the unit in sleep mode or hibernate without the network connection to my wireless wigging out. I have to restart the thing before it recognizes and reconnects...

yeah well my wife's Win7 laptop doesn't do that. It sleeps when she closes the lid. I had to change it to "do nothing" when the lid was closed, that's the only way to get it back up when the lid opens again, aside from the restart.
Looked in device manager upon re-awakening, and the "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" had the little alert symbol next to it...said it couldn't power on.
Driver for said "miniport adapter" is up to date
On another note, I'm having a terrible misfire right now. It's coming from cylinder #4. Swapped coilpacks, and injector pigtails and still nothing. I just wanna get this motor out already.
Unfortunately, that's one of the few parts we can't bumb off of a 4th gen when you're strapped for cash.

I've been watching Top Gear lately on Netflix, from way back in the beginning. Since I haven't had cable TV in a long, long time, I've never actually watched Top Gear, although obviously I know about it.
Anyway, in Season 2, Clarkson completely shreds the 350Z. Wow.
Watching these old shows reinforces why this video is so funny:
