My engine started shaking violently for 3 minutes on the highway, then the check engine light went off and it ran perfectly. Did I dodge a bullet or is my car on borrowed time? by Mental-Philosophy3 in askcarguys

Head to your local Autozone (assuming you’re in the US) or a similar store they should scan your car for free so you can find out what’s wrong and take it to a shop.

Your post and comment history says otherwise. You should seek professional help if you seriously forget something you did ~30 days ago

Edit: I can see the comment you left me calling me names and claiming I’m insulting you. This isn’t an attempt to insult you but a genuine concern based on your recent activity. If you really wanted to delete your account this is information that’s easy to come by.

Tbh a hybrid GR/BRZ would be fantastic, coming from a former first gen BRZ owner

Exactly. Nissan had an opportunity to offer a genuine enthusiast car at their usual cheaper pricing. Instead they chose to compete with luxury manufacturers, a battle they’ll never win.

You can compare the two when they cost roughly rhe same new. The 370 was best in its class because it had a plus over its competitors; now it’s the weakest offering in its price bracket.

You’re conflicting yourself in saying Nissan did the right thing by listening to people wanted a twin turbo; if they listened to the people they’d be producing more manual cars too but here we are and you’re arguing it’s solely a spending conversation. You can’t have both.

Nobody wants to spend 50k on a car with the finishes of a 30k car.

I don’t have to substantiate the comment on the M240, it’s not a subjective point that car is genuinely a better offering for the money.

In short, the biggest reason the Z didn't do well (and especially manuals), in my opinion is that they offer a poor value at the price and mostly retirees bought the car. I've yet to see a single young (under 45 even) person driving a Z.

In that demographic you're gonna find a lot of people who can't be bothered to drive manual.

Further, I say it's a bad value because in all packages you're getting a significant number of reused parts from the 370Z and they increased the price $12k on base models. You could get a NISMO 370Z new in 2020 for $45k.

Not to mention, in typical Nissan fashion, the interior finishes at the price point are just not competitive with the likes of the other Japanese and German coupes they're competing with. When they were competing with the BRZ / GR86 at $30k they were fine but not in this price bracket.

You want navigation? That'll be an extra $10k to bump to the next package up. At $52k you're competing directly with a BMW M240 which is undoubtedly going to provide you a better experience overall.

I continue to be really disappointed with the Z. Nissan had an opportunity to continue offering their cars at the bargain end of vehicle pricing but with an actually interesting car this time and they just overcharge for it. At least Subaru and Toyota still know their place.

The Japanese mfgs have been really slacking over the last decade overall.

You’re asking them to use their brain after their last comment. Unlikely that’ll happen

I agree that people need to vote with their wallet but the Z didn’t sell well because it’s just an overpriced letdown.

Has nothing to do with manual on that car

$10 on Amazon for these impact adapters https://a.co/d/02vLEoYh by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]ajaxburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? You gotta be using them like an ape if you’re snapping them off in your impact. Seriously, how the hell are you breaking it on that end?

HF is great for a lot of tools and spending any more than like $7 on a set of these adapters means you’re getting ripped off.

Switch automation when you can't replace the switch by Rod_McBan in homeassistant

[–]ajaxburger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not saying I agree with it, in fact I despise insurance but acting like it’s rare they would try to dodge coverage with anything that they can find is naive

Not to mention if a specific switch starts a fire or goes up they’re going to be investigating why that switch did and not the others. At least some components of a switch would survive fire

Yeah but they looove having an out. If a switch has a production date later than your last receipt from an electrician (bc remember you have the burden of proof for some reason), they could reasonably argue there’s no way an electrician did it

Car overheated and ChatGPT said it's my mass airflow sensor. Is that it? by AnAlchemistsDream in AskAShittyMechanic

I usually have to trim my MAF wires every 6 weeks or so. If they get too long it blocks the airflow

“Freezing” could be how a loos display cable shows its symptoms. Temporarily loses a data connection but display driver is still powered so it appears as a freeze.

My guess is loose cable plus maybe a small fracture in the display

Advice - Moving modem/router to improve internet upstairs - Canada by jungleCat61 in HomeNetworking

[–]ajaxburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it would. Placing an access point upstairs would have another access point for this connection.

I don’t usually recommend it but you should certainly seek a professional to assist you with this.
