My wife says I have a problem. I have to pop my hood on the 5.5 gen at least once a day. I'll open it to just look around, plan on other mods and sometimes for the hell of it . On my 7th gen I'll do it maybe once a week. I think I do less often on my 7th gen cause everything is covered up?

 

I don't see a problem here. Carry on, Gamer.

 

^ knowing how **** Rochester is about the under hood of his car, I'm not sure he is a good reference to help you determine if you have a problem...

 

3-4 Times a week. Hey, I have a oil burner, want to make sure I don't run too low on oil.

 

I look everyday too, don't feel bad, mine is mostly cause i have an oil leak but even if i didn't id still take a peek everyday at the quality engineering of a VQ...you dont have a problem lol you take care of the VQ and the VQ takes care of you

 

 

Usually only when I have to top up the washer fluid and in the winter that can be once a week. But otherwise in the summer I only pop it when it starts making noises that I've never heard before, or when I see smoke.

I don't really see a point, girls don't care about that kinda stuff anyways.

Now if I had a 2JZ....

 

once a day

 

At the least, whenever I put it in the garage for the day. However, since I only drive it a few times a week ('cause I mostly work from home), then that's my answer: a few times a week.

 

On top of the "normal" once or twice a day I also do it every time I fill up to check the oil. That in itself took me 3 weeks on how to read that dum dipstick.

 

Huh? uppet:

Pull it, wipe it, insert it, pull it, turn it over, look at it... add oil.

It's pretty straight-forward. You can find the instructions on the back of any box of condoms.

 

You crack me up. Lots of times the oil is covering the entire dipstick with no clear line to see where the level was at. I had only added 4 quarts so I knew it was not full.

 

:metalmax:

 

I try to pop my girls "hood" everyday.

 

:metalmax:

Pop my hood once a week.

 

 

If looking under the hood every day keeps him happy and out of trouble, let him have at it.

 

Tell that to my wife!

 

Then tell her the alternative is for you to go roaming the streets, mugging little old ladies and molesting little kids. :eek5: See what she says to that!

 

Once a month at least...

 

Once a week to check and see how much oil has been eaten up...and then top off (if needed).

 

when i do an oil change. i dont burn so no reason to check it everyday

 

There's no issue here. Once you start having conversations with the car, while you check things, that's when it gets a bit worrying.

 

Perhaps he keeps the bong in the garage? Everyone needs a man-cave, you know.

 

Does talking to yourself count while working on the car? (Bong optional).

 

Usually once every 2 gas fill-ups. Recently a little more often due to the PS hose leaking a little more than usual.

 

I guess im not the only one 2times a day i love my max

 

I actually salute my car as I pull out in my 7th gen I think I have a problem. Thats typically when my wife looks at me shaking her head.

 

Respecting the first love. Although that 7th gen is pretty sexy.

 

Daily, same here the wife just shakes her head as I walk towards the garage.....she knows where I'm going.

 

Used to be like once a week with my 03, now with the 02 stock for now 3-4 times a week, to get me hyped up mfor the mods that are going to return for more Powerrrrr......and yes my wife think I have problems also....

 

Once a day ethier before or after i drive, I haz carbon fiber hood with no hood pin. So i like to check the latch for any cracks. Car don't burn oil so no need to check the oil

I think my wife gets more mad when i go up stairs she knows were i'm going ( maxima.org)

Wife speaking : What could you guys have possibly to talk about on that site all the time

Me : Reading how to's , Studying , More reading , planning future mods and talking about are pride and joy (not the wife) the maxima.

Wife : oo so now your goin to spend more money on your car...whats wrong with the rims you got already and why do you need a turbo whats that do ? thats just gay going on that site and talking to guys, your really probally talking to girls....BLA BLA BLAAA....ECT

Sorry had to blow off some steam

 

Its OK. I go thru the same thing. She thinks I'm talking to other women online. Then she'll actually turn the MAC and see what I am reading. Then guess what? She just shakes her head again.

 

Before being influenced by Roch: once every other month
After being influenced by Roch: once a day, and two-three times a day on weekends

I was once asked: if you like Rochester's engine bay so much why don't you marry it?

Well I tried...didn't work out

 

"You love that car more than you love me".

Oh, and by the way, I only pop the hood once or twice a week. It doesn't use oil, but I check anyway.

 

Tell her if she stops buying shoes & clothes you'll stop buying mods.


It worked on my wife.


For 3 days.

 

I remember those days when being **** about the underhood of my Maxima was an obsession. That hood was opened more than it was closed on a daily.

 

probably once a week

 

I poped it today and found a small radiator leak on the upper side, right under where the large coolant hose connects to the radiator on the driver side... I put some RTV sealant over it and hope it will take care of it...

I like to pop the hood to find out everything is fine... Not good when you see dried coolant all over your battery...

 

Better order a new radiator now. Once these radiators start leaking, they only get worse.
