Haven't driven my car since friday (11th) and I get in it today (Monday), some birds decided to be mean to my window so I Pull up to my apartment door to get some windex, clean it all off.. everything is great. Start going to block buster to take back the ring (scary as hell go rent it), car is being weird @ idle - thinking no biggy it hasnt been started in 3 days she is just kinda ***** (kinda cold too..) Anywho, I decide instead of going to blockbuster to circle the block and go back to check out whats up with my car, turn right.. start going, redlight.. hit the brakes right? Mmm.. nope.. brake pedal wouldnt move, i figured **** im gonna nail someone, so i downshifted and managed to get into a parking lot.. the damn vacuum hose for the brake booster completely dislocated itself.

That's seriously the scariest thing that has ever happened to me in my car.. not being able to stop!! OMG*)Q#%*#&%!#@*

Anywho.. its fixed :) Dont know why it came off.. its got hose clamps on it (all factory shizzle from nissan..)

I know that it was a panic situation but just remeber that you do have a e-brake.

Just making sure, i knew a guy who's gas pedle got stuck (not to the floor just won't come up) , and then brakes went out, and instead of using the e-brake (there was no one around) he threw it into park (auto transmission). It broke his transmission. Of couse i don't know what the chances are of the gas pedle stuck and the brakes go out, bad day i guess.

i like my exhaust, ill admit it does get a bit tiring going up the hills but i just downshift and it changes tone.. its weird, i sit in the passenger side of my car while someone is driving and it starts to get too loud.. driver side is fine tho

Need to lower my car.. but then thats like cam adjustments & other blah blah $$$$ gotta pay taxes and find a job! :(

syger --

answer. =p

Ok anywho, I did it when I had the head off (for some reason I thought it was fun to change a headgasket and overheat the damn thing.. anyways..).

Ive noticed the following [it might just be me, but its my car so uNF!!]

The car is just damn sweet from like 3000 rpm+, it feels like its getting more or better air flow than w/ the valve in there.. it may not actually change anything [some people might say it makes no difference] but damn, i love it way more having the valve off!

now reply damnit!
