Ouch... not fun. Sorry to hear about the Max. I hope there wasn't a lot of damage.

Merry Christmas, all...

Snow was not that bad. I have about 10" or so in my driveway. Maxima is still stuck, but I have the fiance's Cougar dug out. I've been driving around in my sisters '02 Frontier SE. Very nice and definately fun in the snow via 4x4 action

Hey Steve. Yeah I already have it. I was one of the first to get it and installed it. It works great. Shortens it by about 30 percent. Cullen Felt the shift knob... He like it.

Well, the car IS 16 years old. Unless it's been stored away it would need some work, and things will break. Any time I owned a car more than 8 years old I seemed to spend an awful lot on repairs just from parts wearing out.

I don't know what your budget is, but maybe search for a good sentra, maybe an SE-R??

Here are a couple local cars (granted, I don't know these cars, but there do appear to be some in the under $4000 range out there).

GRRRRR... installing O2 sim today... What does Nissan use for wires in these harnesses?? they are about 5 strands thick and don't bend. Can't solder them.Looks like I'm going to have to take the harness up to a radio shop to have the chip soldered in while the car is disabled.

Yes! it turns out the wire they use in the harnesses is referred to as tinsel wire and won't take solder. I brought the harness and module to Robert's mobile electronics who hooked it up with butt connectors in about 30 seconds.

Runs like a charm now and NO SES light!!

Thanks for asking!

No, you didnt' miss anything here. Have a good trip? Get any pics in the Great White North?

I'm about ready for another meet pretty soon...winter sucks! What do you guys think about getting something together like bowling, dinner, etc (something indoors)?

Ugh. SES light is back, same codes. It's enough to make a person swear off mods. Now I get to deal with tech support on why the MIL eliminator isn't working.either 1) IT is broken2) I hooked it up wrong3) I put it on the wrong O2 sensor.

Bank 1 is the rear bank, right? Sensor 2 is the one further down stream, right?

IIRC bank 1 is the right, bank 2 is the left. Sensor 1 should be closest to the exhaust manifold, with sensor 2 downstream. I'll verify in a couple hours, I'm going in to work to change my oil later.

Edit: if you guys aren't busy today, I'm trying to get some people together around 4:30 at Jillians. Hope you can make it. http://www.502streetscene.net/...26584

Cool. then I got the right sensor for the problem. Now, I either hooked up the MIL eliminator wrong, or it just doesn't work.Casper's is sending me a different MIL eliminator to try out, slightly different circuit to depress the signal more.

It's quiet out there...
