Yeah i'm about to, that's part of the reason i thought to look at it.
Speaking of not checking oil, a few days ago we had an awful car come in. It was not maintained at all, both mechanically and visually. Interior was full of trash, bits of food laying around, seats stained, exterior was caked in dirt and bugs. Coolant reservoir + radiator were empty, tranny fluid was black as hell, multiple oil and tranny leaks. And the oil was the worst of all. Not only was it sludgy and dark, but there was only about 3/4 of a quart that was drained out. (For reference, it was supposed to have five and a half quarts). The sad part? It was only six years old
sounds like the car literally never had anything done to it at all for that time frame
It had made it to 181k miles amazingly, oil was probably changed every 20-25k miles :v: That's Nissan for you though, fuckin tough cars

Yeah she just got her oil changed and a new air filter, anything else would've been one hell of a liability for us. When I started the car and drove it out of the bay, I felt it struggling to start and shifting hard. Didn't sound healthy either.... some people should not own cars

It's upsetting.
Plan now is headers will be installed tommorow while im in the hospital. When i get out (Sadly I'll have to be driven home not allowed to drive) ill pick the car up when im sane and make a video with the new headers . After that going to have to wait a bit to go to dual exhaust with flowmaster 44's. inline 4 with 44's, see how that sounds (I dunno)

The engine lasted 312k miles. ;p I love that VG30e engine.

True duals would sound like a couple of two cylinder engines running (2x2 dual exhaust), and fake duals will be quiet as hell and ruin power because 44's use 2.5" and larger piping, and running a Y-pipe for two 2.5" tubes is going to absolutely murder backpressure.

If you know nothing of your car you can get the mileages where you need shit done and get it done then.
fuck yes someone wrecked an accord and someones parting it out, 1200 for all of it maybe i can get the wheels for a steal (i want da rims), apparently the tranny and engine are still good so literally these wheels should be worth nothing out of that total [img]http://images.craigslist.org/3E63J73H95I65Jc5M5cbo4096b8358bb0122e.jpg[/img]

I went to an officers funeral once.. It was sad :( This was when I was in the local sheriffs explorers program, so I actually got to work at the funeral. Helped direct traffic and whatnot. He had around 1.8-2 miles of cars in the line, that was very impressive. Dep. Brandon Coates, shot while pulling over some hooligans :( :edit: One of the shooters got some serious street justice though, fucker was jumping over fences with the gun in his pants, it went off and the bullet got an artery in his leg. Bled out by the time they found him.

It is going to be a little tinny though. [video=youtube;fjsgyd3pzqM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjsgyd3pzqM[/video] Might want to roll with just one muffler, but still run a second pipe so you have dual tips.

That's because flowmaster 40's and 44's belong on some v6 and mainly v8 and not 4 bangers.
Not perfect, but This is pretty close to what Super 40/44s should sound like. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW6_POxMl-Y[/media]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrnTN97c-p8&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LLPC1KUBvXwSlnz09Vzz_qHg[/media] i think this is how they should sound
Ah yes. because you dont need a resonator on a V8, sounds perfect. Mine would sound like shit with no resonator i think.
