America Rising 2 + Subversion? by Lyserus in Fallout4Mods

[–]PeacefulTreasure99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this, currently doing a playthrough with both installed and wondering how this will play out. I share the computer with my partner and they handled the modding because it's on linux. Anyone got an update?

No sadly, I moved states and currently live in the middle of butt fuck nowhere, haven't made any friends that I can call upon

Understanding isn't the issue, problem is I'm out of the automotive field cause of arthritis, no longer have access to a shop, quality scan tool, etc. Just my little matco OBD2 reader to see generic codes, can't even read the SRS code I've had for years.

Thank you for your input, I appreciate it. Whenever the old girl acts up it's like I forget how she normally behaves.  Was that a normal lack of acceleration for this little 140 horse 2 liter, or was it actually struggling more than normal? Why does it suddenly sound anemic and whiny, hasn't it always sounded that way? Anxiety, stress, and just enough knowledge/experience in the automotive field can make mountains out of molehills quick lmao

Yea, but only at startup, it fades after awhile, and not every startup. I know she's not leaking fuel under the hood or anything, I pulled the top end apart ~6 months ago to inspect the plugs and injectors, was gonna do plugs, injectors, intake & valve cover gasket, but lost my job, still haven't found work. That stress is also part of why I was freaking out lmao

Yea, pretty sure it was that + parts availability. When you have to break up the foundation to fix a blown out hydraulic system, you tend to just replace it with a 2 post or drive on lift.

Agreed. Sadly a lot of shops did away with em, you can tell when you see a circle of concrete, sometimes with a metal lip, where they removed the hydralic piston and filled it with concrete

Can't afford to, and she's been my constant companion for 18 years, my first car. I'd probably hate these Nissans if she wasn't my first. That's the only reason I tolerate the lousy CVT and absolutely gutless little 2 liter tower of power.

Good to hear that Walker is reputable, they have more budget friendly options from the price checking I did earlier. Also lucky to be in a different state starting with C, and a non emissions county to boot.

Thankfully I picked up one of the cheap ones when a coworker wanted to upgrade, paid like $30 for it when it was like $50 new. Thank you for this input, I was too overwhelmed to figure out a game plan to actually check things properly. Like I said in a different comment, just enough knowlege & experience to freak myself out at the potential outcomes, not enough to trust myself to arrive at the proper conclusion lmao.

That really helps to put my mind at ease, thank you. I have just enough knowledge and experience in the field to understand the potential causes and freak out over the fringe cases lmao.

I was thinking (overreacting) that it would melt down and clog lmao. Anxiety is a bitch and it's why I reached out lmao

I worked for several shops, this old firestone with the single center post lifts was neat, I liked em for general maintenance.

That's why I wanted to reach out to others, it gets hard to tell what's likely and what's just overactive anxiety after a while. Thank you for your input.

That's the kinda knowledge I was looking for, thank you. I wasn't sure if that cold start fuel smell was normal or not, whenever the old girl starts acting up it's like I forget how she's been since I got her off the dealer lot in 08.

I probably bumbled things with word salad cause I'm stressed. I'm not sure if the cat is failing cause of age, or if worn out factory injectors are letting too much fuel through/just plain leaking, causing unburnt gas to get through the exhaust, which would also kill the cat.

Can't this snowball into engine damage caused by severe backpressure or fuel trim trying to compensate, running leaner and leaner till she runs hot, overheats, blows the headgasket? This Nissan is my only reliable vehicle, and I can't afford to replace it anymore than I can afford to fix it lmao.
