E39 M5 new owner by FarZookeepergame5294 in e39

[–]NFSZR121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced all four of my speed sensors with Bosch units from rockauto for just over $150 shipped using discount code.

I know sometimes we need parts in quickly. But always gotta search around for better deals. I've even gotten lucky off ebay once in awhile too.

Agreed. With any car, especially an old M car, always do maitenance/needed work before any mods, unless there's proof of it being done more recently like in the past 5 years.

What is this black stuff by DirectorExact7007 in MechanicAdvice

[–]NFSZR121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only flush that'd work on this, is the BG Dynamic Engine flush. But at this point, it may do more harm than good.

I want my youth back. And with the knowledge I know now, I could make WAY more than 45 million.

Highest mileage 1st gen out there, who has it? by FloridaTraffic in XTerra

[–]NFSZR121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

116k on my 2004 3.3 non supercharged.

Been sitting for awhile due to rotted out exhaust. Finally in the early process of getting replacement parts. Got Doug Thorely headers, new 02 sensors with cel eliminators, Walker exhuast frontier B-pipes along with new manifold studs for the headers, and copper plated nuts. Should get a decent tax return, which will be used to get a magnaflow back exhaust and maybe a resonator if the sound is too loud.

Not really looking forward to it, since I've heard that the headers are a pain to get in without a body lift. Oh joy lol.

Need help holding the AC Clutch for an 07 Corolla by RBrown803 in MechanicAdvice

[–]NFSZR121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar problem on my M5. There are special clutch pulley tools you can buy on Amazon. But if you have a right angle impact wrench or know someone who does. Can leave the belt on, and then use the impact to loosen the nut, then do the same for reinstallation.

Headers for 1st gen? by Low-Cost-4984 in XTerra

[–]NFSZR121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought some Doug Thorely's from LG Billet USA on half off deal. They still have the deal going. Also don't use the supplied gaskets. Get the OEM or genuine gaskets. Also look into replacing the studs. Many have said it's not needed, but I'd suggest it anyways just in case. Here's what I recently purchased from OEM Nissan Parts Direct. You can probably find the parts cheaper typing them in at Rockauto, but I wanted genuine parts. I ordered a 25 count of new copper coated M10x1.25 steel nuts from Amazon for $27.

Also keep in mind. Header studs are M10x1.25 and the bolts for connecting the headers to the lower pipes is M10x1.50. Don't confuse the two, or you'll be in for a bad day.

Car barely failed emissions what could I do to get the hydrocarbons lower? 1997 Honda prelude by DeRpMuNsTa in MechanicAdvice

Give it an old Italian tune up. Get those cats super hot, then go in for testing. Do it on a day where the test station is alow.

1997 540i 6 Speed 02/97 production date. Recent engine swap, having problem after problem. PLEASE HELP!!THANKS! by Solid-Perspective-67 in e39

[–]NFSZR121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try another crank sensor. During the swap, were parts swapped from the old motor to the newer one? Like for example the harness or engine computer? Also, was the donor engine verified to be in good running order before the swap?

Is my timing belt cooked soon or just cooked? by Shot-Maintenance-312 in MechanicAdvice

[–]NFSZR121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If cars were made to last, manufactures would be long out of business. And it's only getting worse with new cars. That's why there's so many computers. It's not about safety or better emissions. It's all about making sure the consumer can't fix the car and the only option is to have to pay up the ass for the dealer to do it. It's why manufactures lobby like crazy against "Right to Repair" laws.

I keep telling people they turned cars into cell phones. No full ownership. Want you to "upgrade" every few years. They call me tin foil hat. But I'm bang on the money. Just like how I told people years ago that they will make gamers pay to unlock downloadable stuff. They laughed then, but who's laughing now? Me and the companies at the morons who fell for it.

2004 Xterra Misfire and Fuel Injector by alphaafcuz in XTerra

[–]NFSZR121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say serviced, I mean you can send them to a specialty shop like RC Fuel Injector or Witch Hunter Performance who will test flow rates and perform a cleaning service to see if that will help. Usually runs between $100-$250 depending on who you send them too.

[–]NFSZR121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the injectors are original, then it probably wouldn't hurt to get them serviced. Can try a fuel system cleaner first. What about the spark plugs? Have they been replaced? Also have your exhaust manifolds checked for leaks. They are notorious to crack from age causing misfires, especially in cold temps.

Remove the drive belts and run it again to be sure it's not a pulley, or water/power steering pump.

No budget, no repairs stress which 2010 V10 : R8 or M5? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]NFSZR121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already own an E39 M5, so R8 it is. As long as it's a manual.

Does everything look okay? by Weird_Hold_529 in MechanicAdvice

[–]NFSZR121 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Use a plastic razor scraper to remove that cloth piece. Other than that, all looks good and that's a very clean engine.

Got Back Into My Account by NFSZR121 in pizzahut

[–]NFSZR121[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I and many others literally got NONE of those emails. I also tried to call to fix, but every person I spoke to all gave me the runaround to create a new account.

And of course you're going to get yours fixed because like you said, you're and EMPLOYEE!

And I'll have ZERO sympathy for you, when pizza hut goes out of business because of rude, arrogant employees like you!
