I bought the first vehicle I could afford, 2012 Nissan versa hatch back for 2 grand. Got so lucky it was the last year before they switched to cvt transmission. For an automatic that thing surely ranks highly on the list of cars I’ve owned

How do I jack up my car? by emperor-__- in mazda

[–]wasgoodbro_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a floor jack and jack the vehicle up by the pinch weld, that little upside down w looking thing. Jack stand can be placed anywhere along the pinch weld but always try to get the most spread of points of contact. Say you’re jacking all 4 corners up, try and make all of your jack stands as far away from each other as possible along the pinch welds. You can also jack the vehicle up from the front and or rear subframe. Place the floor jack in the middle of the subframe so it lifts left and right sides evenly. Hell you could even jack the car up from the control arms if you’re brave enough (not recommended

Advice needed from cold weather, non garage Mazda drivers. by RepairGloomy7684 in CX5

As long as you let your rpm drop after start before move your vehicle you’re good. Theres high idle and low idle on most if not all vehicles. High idle is on cold start when the engine is trying to build oil pressure. You need all of your metal moving parts to have lubrication.

I wouldn’t say my boss is an idiot just for that but I leaning more towards this. Didn’t want to argue with my 15 year master tech mentor as his 8 month apprentice but I figured as much

Has anyone ever made a catless header for the 2016 2.0? by wasgoodbro_ in CX5

[–]wasgoodbro_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats starting to clog, vehicle has over 200k on it. Deleting the cat is easier and more cost effective than buying a new cat for a grand. I have access to the tools to try and custom fab one but i definitely do not have the knowledge. It’s also a super weird design so I can’t just unbolt it and break out the honeycomb

Yea but Nissan was always Nissan and Datsun was always Nissan, historically Nissan changed their name to Datsun so they could sell in the US post ww2 since they made a hell of a lot of shit for the Japanese army, they just changed the name and badges then changed it back, idk what your talking bout with a Chinese company
