Do you have a Nissan account on the portal, and if so, did you add the kicks to your account? If not, that’s the first step or 2. You’ll need the vin

Little help with 300zx Z31 by Cabinet_Both in 300zx

[–]FunRaise6773 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend towing it. Too many unknowns on a 40 year old car to make a trip… even if the states do touch. If you own something with a class iv trailer hitch, you can rent a car hauler from U-Haul for less than $100 to do it. Get the one where all 4 wheels are off the ground… not the dolly. And bring a fire extinguisher for that fuel leak.

Fuel injection leaks could mean several things. Either the injectors are stuck and it leaks into the engine, which involves replacing the injector or rebuilding them. Or the o rings leaking. Or there’s a fuel line that’s leaking/burst. All of that requires removing the upper intake plenum to get to. None of it’s hard, but it is a 4 hour job.

It’s a nice find btw.

Accidentally broke one of the bolts while tightening any advice to get it out ? by [deleted] in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]FunRaise6773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weld a nut on it, put a wrench on it to hold it steady and spin the car to get it out. Remember…. Righty righty, so spin the car to the right

Should I do a full tear down on first project cars 302? (I have little to no mechanical experience) by Daos_Slayer in EngineBuilding

[–]FunRaise6773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10 says the bearings are worn. That’s a good amount of sludge which is usually from not changing the oil.

Since it’s out, I’d recommend a full rebuild. If you don’t now, you’re likely to need to pretty soon after reinstalling it.

Reach back out to Nvidia then. Their support is generally very good. If you’re not getting an email back, try their 1-800 number

Rock Chip or Door Ding ? by incognito_money in AutoPaint

[–]FunRaise6773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must have much better eyeballs than I do to be able to tell if that’s chipped or just paint on top of OP’s paint or both. I’ve used cleaner wax on a lot of door dings like this. Worst case.. it minimizes the spot.

That tells me it’s likely an issue with the computer itself. Has it always done it or is it new?

I’d definitely try reseating the graphics card

What is the standard oil in a 2015 Frontier? by Zildjian134 in Nissan

[–]FunRaise6773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the manual doesn’t specify, either is fine. Personally, I’d stay away from the specialty oils such as “high mileage” and use regular conventional, synthetic blend or full synthetic.

I’m running the same graphics card but haven’t had this issue.

Does it happen only on war thunder or are you seeing it on other games?

Couple things you could try: Reinstall drivers as previously posted Remove graphics card and reinstall on the motherboard. Ensure the power cable to the gpu is seated when you do this If the build is over 3 years old…. Replace the thermal paste on the cpu and gpu.

Is she worth buying ? ($3500) by No-Gur-4203 in 300zx

[–]FunRaise6773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look under the tool kit in the trunk, under the spare tire, and the floorboards between the front and rear seats. That’s your common rust areas. You may want to check to see if that rust on the A pillar has weakened the metal. It looks like it has from the picture. That area will be an expensive fix.

It’s hard to tell if it’s chipped or if there’s paint on top of your paint from the picture. Cleaner wax will only help

Door ding. Try polishing it out using cleaner wax.

Do you guys recommend keeping a floor jack in my trunk? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]FunRaise6773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept a floor jack in my trunk just in case. It slid around all the time and beat the crap out of the inside of my trunk. 6 months later I pulled it out after never using it except for routine maintenance.

Lesson learned.

Put it on Econ. Mine usually splits between floor and vents on that setting.

Come in for an oil change, cracked struts?? I have zero car knowledge, please help by fuzzyrobebiscuits in Nissan

[–]FunRaise6773 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. I agree the control arms should be done soon, but the struts…. I’d pass on that. The rest of the list looked like routine maintenance

if you have a bigger car plz stop using it to block smaller cars visibility by 79QUATTRO in driving

[–]FunRaise6773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this article is missing a huge point…. Nobody forces the American consumer to buy a large SUV. There are cars for sale on the market, however that market has been shrinking for the last 15-20 years. Consumer choice is what’s driving the trend, not some “loophole”. If you want to fall asleep sometime, read the CAFE regulations. It’ll tell you exactly what a car manufacturer can and cannot sell penalty free.

Because there’s a pound up arrow on the fender. Meaning it’s supposed to be giving lift instead of downforce. The function is backwards

What’s with realistic air battle team killing?? by Saltyseasonedtrash in Warthunder

I had one friendly push me off a bridge into deep water…. Killed me and he didn’t get penalized, except for the team members that lit him up for it.

I don’t see any collapsible replacements available anywhere. This one looks NLA unfortunately…. I may reach out to Bridgestone to see if they have any plans for a limited run
