Goddamn car started to stall yesterday, today it would barely start and continued stalling. Had to bring it to a Nissan center today (was afraid it was a recall problem). Only $300 to fix but I nearly had a heart attack as I am dead poor from buying a guitar/amp and school is starting in a couple weeks. It's not a new car, 2002 Altima SE 3.5, but still thought it wouldn't have any problems yet.

Crankshaft sensor or something, I swear to christ if it starts stalling again I am opening fire with a machine gun at work.

life sucks get a helmet

I have a helmet attached to my head permanently

welcome to my world, son...my car made me miss NEDF

buy american from the 80s.

by Nissan center do you mean the dealership?

Were about to have a 400 dollar repair ourselves, weak.

wow you guys are all lucky. i've never had a major repair done on my car that was less than 1200 dollars or so.

Yeah a random ass dealership since mine is like 45 minutes away.


I've had some expensive repairs. I had to buy this car because my transmission bottomed out and exploded in front of Brockton High in January.

There's your problem right there.

I can tell by your username that you're an expert on cars, as well as being a mature and helpful individual.

Yessir

Yeah Japanese quality sucks! Wait..

No it isn't, but the only engines and trannies nissan produces mainstream are french/us made garbage.

So Japanese build quality doesn't really come into play.

yeah... the CA18DET, SR20, RB25 and RB26 are french/USA made garbage engines that APPARENTLY a lot of people want and buy to swap into their Corolla, 240sx, 240z, 260z, 280z, 300zx (first and second gen) and so forth and so on. the CA18 and SR20 are hugely popular and were in cars Nissan made for a long time. hell... even the pulsar (american one) had an SR20.

fixed

i cannot regret selling my 77 impala enough
damn thing sucked @ gas mileage, but it never had a problem i couldn't fix with a wrench and some wd-40, now i got this volvo, which are supposed to be all reliable but the thing breaks down every full moon

He's got a Q35 though... which is just about as japanese muscle as a cruiton.

I drive a crouton.

mmm...

and noodleface, you are lucky. I just paid off my 2005 civic hybrid and the next week I went to get a sensor light looked at. $1500 to replace the catti. I still haven't done it.
