Re: Rear A/C line - how long to fix?

you bet! The wife was not impressed when the AC didn't work on an hour drive on a hot day a few weeks ago. She's a happy camper now!

Re: Rear A/C line - how long to fix?

Well I got mine fixed! The dealership only offered the rear line set replacement via the body off frame job which I was not interested in doing. An independent shop I trust also said that they don’t repair lines and recommended an AC specialist. I gave them a phone call this morning and they had an ...

If not legal for the US and North America, we would need to know if the cut line on the projector is flat or if it has an uptick to one side. Most cars here are flat, where in Europe they may have an uptick. Depending on whether it’s a Drive on the right side of the road or left side (UK) the upti...

Would this be Nissan part number 999T8-XR000 (or updated part number 999T8-XR010)?

Plastidipped my front bumper lip and fog openings

I really like how Doctahjones did this on his former Pathfinder so I just had to do it as well but for mine I decided not to do the “skid plate†looking for a more subtle change first. I can always do the skid plate later but I’m going with this for now. Plastidip isn’t paint and I learned th...

Even my 01 R50 felt quicker with 305k km / 190k miles! But my 11's performance isn't up to par either at 150k km/ 93k miles . It runs and drives nice but lacks some grunt. I have no check engine light but have a P0328 code stored for a knock sensor on one side. Cleared codes and it's still there so ...

18” LE wheels painted with Dupli-Color Gloss Black

So just like most people, my wheels had suffered from several winters, the salt, and the subsequent corrosion and then peeling of the clearcoat that most people get. I had just finished tidying up my calipers and rotors so this was next. I had considered plasti dipping them but have seen too many ex...

Brake Calipers and Rotors Painted with VHT Caliper Paint

I have factory 18” wheels and my rear rotors despite being a year old were rusty and stuck out to me through the spokes so I decided to clean them up and paint them. Fronts looked okay but I did all 4 with VHT Caliper Paint in Satin Black. https://i.ibb.co/1rHYLH2/FC653986-6595-4-ABD-974-F-431073486...

Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Fine Cut Cleaner on headlights

I use Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze Fine Cut Cleaner to buff out scuffs and light scratches and gave it a whirl on my mildly fogged over headlights. Spent about 5 minutes buffing each headlight with this cleaner on a microfibre cloth and it turned out great! I was thinking about getting a headlight cleanin...

Dunno about his repair, but mine has been fine since I posted this in 2012. A Nissan dealership in Arkansas did it after I specifically asked them about A/C line repair kits. Cost me something like $300 I think. Well that sounds great! Was it a Nissan kit for the dealership to do it without lifting...

Yip. They took out about 2 feet of alu pipe - well they cut the pie and left it still in the carrier. Then the inserted a length of rubber hose with alum ferrel on each end and compression fitted it into the line. It is repaired about 4 inches back from where there is a flex rubber section and onto...

I don’t know to be honest but I can update if they sag again. I wasn’t leaving them as they were, my kids are little and I don’t step on it to get in and out so it should be ok I think.

Sagging running boards jacked back up!

So I noticed my running boards were sagging especially towards the rear, worse on the driver side. Not sure why but I’m second owner of it so not sure what may have caused it. Checked undeneath and the 3 brackets that hold it on aren’t he beefiest bits of steel and the 6 nuts is that hold it on ...
