Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I like my older but still good Street Guardian.

https://streetguardian.info/sg9665gcv3/

I have a V2 in my car and a V3 in her car, I need to swap my V2 out for a V3 and retire the V2 to the Celica that I don't drive as much. Both have 64GB cards in them for longer recording loops and less wear/tear on the flash. They're really stable cams that always just work and have pretty good night time recording.

I have some pretty weird Nissan/Infiniti TPS questions, what's a good Nissan/Infiniti forum to ask on?

 

I have a Q45 throttle body with a busted TPS, the style with a connector and harness. Ordered a Q45 TPS and got one without a harness and a different connector. Trying to figure out what's going on here, what I took off looks more like a M30 TPS than Q45 parts listed except when I look up service info it talks about two TPS outputs. I'm going to check the new one I got against both sets of terminals on the broken one tonight with my meter to see what's what but I need to figure out where I screwed up in case I need other parts. 

 

To make matters more confusing it's going on a Toyota Celica. Same 5v input to the sensor and same sensor sweep so it does work with the car even on the stock ECU, same 3 pin setup.

this was a few years ago, but I used to find a lot of stuff on "nicoclub" forums for my dad's '05 G35

I've heard of that one, I'll give them a shot. Going to try to figure it out myself. I'm hoping the single connector sensor is a TPS sensor and not s close throttle sensor for idle. If it is I'll have to look up the specs for the M30 sensor and see if it's the same as the Q45 TPS or what. Need the weird screws too but I can work around that somehow, I'm creative at fabricobblin.

This was my baby. '07 FLHRS. Ended up selling it to buy a truck with a bed big enough to sleep in when I ended up homeless.

Well my dads 69 Malibu needs new tires, really it needed them 3-4 years ago. Looks like almost no one makes good 235 50-70 R15 that aren’t 500$. So 245 or 255 will likely be the move. 
I was driving the car today and the horn started shorting out so every bump it would go off. The car needs a much better horn, not this wimpy thing.

Ah yes, good tyres for not so modern sized wheels can be a pain in the butt. On my TF I need 195/45 R16 up front and 215/40 R16 at the back. Only decent tyre I could find were Toyo TR1s (not to be confused with and successor of the T1R)

there are reproductions or good stuff but thats all well over 300$ a tire. 
and 235 is a little skinny on a 15x8 rim

I'm going to remember to post a link to the horn I'm using on my cars. It's not wimpy at all. I'm 'that guy with the train Horn's but don't worry it's not a train horn just have three tones going on.

 

If you want classy classic sound find a set of horns off a late 80s early 90s Caddy. It's like a 4 or 5 tone set and sounds amazing!

Roughly what I run, it's nearly the same, it's big and loud.

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/150db-12V-Super-Loud-Air-Horn-Compressor-Single-Trumpet-Truck-Train-Boat-US/124355793283\

Cheaper link, may or may not be worse or better.

 

 

In one car I had to swap out a compressor once and in another car I upgraded to a stronger compressor but in the first car my original compressor is still going but I swapped in the bigger horn for a bigger deeper sound.

So the beginning of January marks four years of owning the ST, however to date I only have 37.8k miles on the Odometer. Of that , about 30k of them are from me, meaning I've only driven on average 7500m (12000km). 

 

Anyone else fell like they barely drive their vehicles (with context of it being a daily driver) or is it just me?

I had to change my oil on my daily every month since October because I was doing 4,500 miles/month. 😕
