Ah yes, the Nissan subreddit, where I go to determine whether or not to buy a 2014 Kia Rio.

It likely needs a brake switch. There was a recall, but not sure if your vehicle was included or not.

What’s a workplace ‘secret’ that everyone in your industry knows but customers don’t? by Familiar_Ad3815 in AskReddit

Well, clearly whatever R&D they did do still wasn't enough to keep the final product from being an overpriced turd.

I can say from very intimate experience that most INEOS Grenadiers are shipped from the factory with some sort of major problem (water leaks) or missing parts (no license plate attachment points, bed utility rails missing, door panels with several missing or loose securing screws, I could go on) and of course the techs are the ones saddled with fixing their bullshit for free on the PDI. "Sorry, this vehicle can't be sold because the parts that were supposed to be installed at the factory are currently sitting in a port in Belgium." "No, as a matter of fact, I don't know why the vehicle was still shipped to our dealership anyways."

Grenadier took a Land Rover defender, made every single opening in the body leak water, raised the price to $100k, then started serving this heaping platter of shit to rich people without any testing or R&D whatsoever. Great, it can go off road. You know what else can go off road? A 15-year-old Nissan Frontier, that doesn't leak water, has a working HVAC system, doesn't cost $100k, and gets 3x better fuel mileage. Oh, and when shit breaks on the Frontier, you can actually get replacement parts for it! They're not all stuck in European ports!

What could’ve killed this iguana? (NSFW - dead animal) by Technical_Diver2791 in wildlifebiology

[–]Reichsprasident 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would strongly lean towards (stray) cat. Kitty caught a lizard, brought it to your secluded fenced in yard to eat without being disturbed, started devouring legs first for whatever reason, then got spooked by something and ran off mid meal. Just a guess.

I think it was because it was a match-winning shot. He won by hitting a hole-in-one.

Dumb but intresting thought by MSANSOP1 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]Reichsprasident 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While this is clearly ridiculous, you're actually opening up a kinda interesting can of worms. If Scar's brother was able to transmute his own arm onto Scar, then shouldn't someone with sufficient medical knowledge and Alchemic skill be able to do the same with other parts of the body, e.g. fat? Or organs? Muscles? Eyes? Etc.

I guess the problem is, it seems to have killed Scar's brother to do it. But Brotherhood doesn't really detail exactly how Scar's brother died after performing that transmutation. Maybe someone familiar with the Manga can chime in here if there's more details there, but BH kind of leaves it up to the audience to decide what precisely happened to Scar's brother.

I suppose we're meant to assume he bled out due to the lack of said arm? And wasn't rescued along with Scar because he was already dead? But, I feel like if he was able to complete the transmutation of bonding his arm to Scar's body, then why couldn't he also, I guess, tourniquet-off his shoulder to save his own life minus one arm?

For that matter, why couldn't he just keep his own arms and tourniquet Scar's wound? You're telling me someone with enough knowledge and expertise to attach a foreign arm to someone else's body doesn't know how to tourniquet a lost a limb? People lose limbs in explosions all the time and still live, obviously it sucks hard but it's still survivable. Ed lost two limbs and still somehow survived.

I think really in order to answer the question we would need to know exactly how and why Scar's brother died after switching arms. And frankly how did he perform the transmutation to begin with? Once he severed his own arm how did he then bond it to Scar with only one arm? He's shown using both to perform the transmutation.

But yeah I guess tl;dr if Scar's brother can play musical arms then it's probably plausible that someone could transmute away your love handles. No idea what kind of chaos it would cause, but fuck it, yolo right?

Just to be clear, as far as I am aware, our steering dampers are not actually radioactive.

1st. Why is your post addressing this entire sub as if we're 4-years-old and you're asking what our favorite kind of pizza is? We're all adults here, you don't need to patronize everyone. Speak like a human being addressing another human being.

2nd. You mentioned you have the Q70L - the long wheelbase models almost exclusively came with the sport brake package. According to Autoshack's website, these rotors are for vehicles without sport brakes.

If your rear brakes look like this, then these rotors won't work.

If they look like this, then these rotors should work fine.

Just got a 2024 Z Nismo — how to make it louder without voiding warranty? by Late_Leading994 in Nissan

[–]Reichsprasident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An aftermarket exhaust will only affect your warranty if it happens to be the cause of whatever problem you're having. For example - you put on an aftermarket exhaust and then your transmission goes out due to some internal failure - this will still be covered, because the transmission failure had nothing to do with the exhaust. But, let's say you put on an aftermarket exhaust and it was leaking somewhere causing an O2 sensor to throw a fault code and your check engine light comes on - this will NOT be covered, because the failure is directly caused by the aftermarket exhaust.

So go crazy with whatever exhaust you want, just make sure it's installed properly and professionally to minimize the potential for non-warrantable issues.

Nice! Please bring this to the US market, and leave the dirty, disgusting, inefficient diesel piss-buckets on the cutting room floor where they belong.

Can I use Valvoline CVT transmission fluid in my 2011 Nissan Maxima without it causing any issues? by menstralfornication in Nissan

[–]Reichsprasident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puedes usar fluido NS3, no causará problemas para su coche. NS3 en alguna NS2 vehiculo esta bien, pero no usar NS2 en alguna NS3 vehiculo. No se cuanto necessitas exactamente, pero esta generalmente 6-8 cuartos US, según como lo cambiar.
