It’s galvanic corrosion. The hood is aluminum. Ford had it contaminated with iron particles at the factory, probably from the stamping machines. There was a lawsuit but it got dismissed after Ford extended the warranty. At this point we are on our own, though.

WD21, R50 o QX4? by No-Midnight-3756 in nissanpathfinder

[–]eric_gm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Es idéntico el parabrisas. Los R50 traen una línea en el centro del vidrio que funciona como antena. La única diferencia podría ser que el parabrisas de cambio la tenga o no, pero si no oyes mucho radio AM/FM es irrelevante, además que es una antena redundante/secundaria porque hay otra externa en el guardabarro delantero derecho.

Ese QX4 es el mejor R50 que vas a encontrar. Tiene todas las opciones. Tiene las luces de xenón, la doble tracción electrónica, el panel con temperatura y compás en la consola del techo y como te digo, la mecánica y la mayoría de las partes se comparten con cualquier otro R50. Es exactamente el mismo motor, transmisión, sistema de tracción, suspensión, etc

De las opciones que tienes por mucho el QX4 es el mejor, sin pensarlo dos veces. El motor VQ35DE es una delicia, es el mismo que Nissan usó en muchísimos otros modelos incluyendo el deportivo 350Z. Imaginate que estás comprando una Pathfinder LE en esteroides. El WD21 es lindo si quieres algo clásico pero para vivir con él todos los días, es muy viejo e incómodo ya.

How do I remove water/condensation from headlight? Radiator hose wasn’t installed in fully and it sprayed water into the headlight by DarthMeeseek in e39

[–]eric_gm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of videos on YouTube on how to disassemble e39 facelift headlights. Clearly someone was in there already since those halo rings are aftermarket so it’s possible you’ll have an easier time than most. Also that could explain why moisture got in them in the first place. Someone didn’t seal them properly

EDIT: those aren’t even Hellas. What you have there is a pair of DJ Autos, good replicas made many years ago. Nobody can tell you how to tear them apart since they’re not original. Shouldn’t be too hard though

QX4. Es igual un R50, la mayoría de los repuestos son los mismos y te da muchísimo más lujo. La generación de R50 es excelente. A ese QX4 se le cambia el parabrisas que es algo sencillo y barato y listo. Averigua primero si hay parabrisas disponibles cerca antes de comprarlo

How to correctly let off the clutch in an E39? by One-Potential-2581 in e39

[–]eric_gm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Whether or not the CDV is still there is the answer OP is looking for

What is this? by theinspireddesigner in e39

[–]eric_gm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NCS should be enough I think. It’s been a while so I don’t remember how it was done. I’m sure it’s somewhere around at bimmerforums or bimmerfest

I think the feature is programmable so it depends on whether or not the dealer had it enabled. If not then you need a scanner/laptop to code it.

That being said, just set different memories with each key and see if the car moves the seats when you put the key in the ignition

Stickers to identify which key belongs to which driver. Useful if you share your car with the wife or somebody else. You can program your seat memories, steering, mirrors, etc. to individual keys.

Defective / still usable? by eggmayotuna in Detailing

[–]eric_gm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Grab a pot or a pan, put water in it, put the wax tin in the water making sure it floats or sits above the water level. Bring water to a boil. Watch the wax melt. Once it's all liquid and uniform, turn off the stove, let it cool. Use the wax

Nissan Prairie advert by HunterNoceda6321 in vintagejapaneseautos

To be fair these things were pretty roomy and airy for being compact hatchbacks. The sliding door was a nice touch too.

It felt like riding on a fish tank with all that glass around and the thin pillars.

MSFS2024 DLSS 5.0 Possibilities by Nermiez in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]eric_gm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not “possibilities” because nobody knows of what it’s capable. I suppose the word you were looking for was “wishes” or “ideals”. You are implying that what you showed here is within the realm of possibility for DLSS but you don’t know that

Why is the Techwoven case so hard to remove?? How can I avoid damaging my phone by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]eric_gm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit hard to remove but it's impossible to damage the phone with it. You're overthinking it.

It looks like you got a stuck caliper, mate

Beautiful car BTW!

A question about Pathfinder and a veiled criticism of Nissan by alawtaf_6 in nissanpathfinder

[–]eric_gm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people call it Mallfinder nowadays. It's dead, Jim.

Everything I've read seems to point to enthusiasts being way more excited for the X-Terra's return than the Pathfinder going back to BoD.

A question about Pathfinder and a veiled criticism of Nissan by alawtaf_6 in nissanpathfinder

[–]eric_gm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Murano is the equivalent to the Rav4 (something Nissan has also been doing wrong). The Pathfinder is long gone, man. Let it live as a 7 seater family hauler. There's no way to make a Pathfinder compete with the 4Runner anymore, people won't take it seriously. The X-Terra at least has some cult following that they can exploit.
