Exhaust in 1993 Altima

[Kruz]

You should see some of the plugs I remove from engines...
at least I'm not in the "Rust Belt" anymore! so there is a lot less stripped threads in cylinder heads.
Oh you DID use Anti-sieze compound on the new plugs right?

 

[leslie]

Hubby says he put motor oil on the threads. Too lazy to hit Canadian Tire AGAIN

 

[leslie]

Update exhaust repaired at our favourite garage place, $190 cdn with tax. Phew. Now just the test tomorrow and the car angst is complete for awhile. But he has it in his head now that he wants new tires...

 

[Kruz]

*fingers crossed*

 

[leslie]

WOOHOO!

We passed! Phew big sigh of relief! The hydrocarbons were at 71, limit 80, so that was close, but wow am I happy now. Safe for another 2 years. I like Nissan.

 

[Kruz]

Allright

small update - hubby changed spark plugs today. the gap is supposed to be at .043 inches, and the actual was .085 inches I guess we left that a bit too long

100% out of spec??? and it still ran??? That's impressive.


I'm just glad Quebec doesn't have testing ... yet.

 

[leslie]

It did! And we didn't notice that anything was amiss, either. The only difference now that they're in properly is that it starts in 2 seconds instead of 4. I really like Nissan. This car is impressive all round.

 

[leslie]

Is Quebec talking about doing that too?

 

[Professur]

There's talk. Hopefully, it'll stay talk. Just like the right turn on red.

 

[leslie]

Why don't you want the right on red? I don't know how you all live without it.

 

[Professur]

Quebecers haven't figured out what a yield sign is. The idea of stopping and then going just wouldn't sink in.

 

[leslie]

Ok. I suppose you're right. Driving there is dangerous enough without that too

 

[Professur]

Imagine how the pedestrians would feel.

 

[leslie]

they may be frightened into taking up driving!

 

[Professur]

Or moving to TO.
