Hey Ren... Yeah Ji told me whats up when you were on the phone with him. We spoke about those vac hoses and I thought they were just crunchy and old.. I also thought you cleaned all the lines??? I'm almost positive that will surely fix your idle problem...

Well, getting closer and closer every day

[deucegirl03]

i cleaned everything that was attached to the intake man, egr, and TB. didn't follow the vac lines all the way down to where they run near the block and back over to the water outlet etc.
the whole freaking block is covered in this layer of oil residue. its really bad. the more i get into it, the more i find. yeah shame on me for not getting new vac lines right away, but the ones that were visible to me looked fine. when i started REALLY looking at all of them, esp the ones that are lower and are therefore in the "line of fire" i realized how cruddy they were. then i cut the insulation open to trace the lines out and received a shower of crud and oil residue. mmm yummy. good thing for safety glasses!

[masagsxr]

yup, just like Ji said, degrease it... You'll be glad you did... I need to do mine sometime. Maybe this weekend if not busy working on other people's car ....

Daym, still need to do my taxes... aarrrggggg

[deucegirl03]

i know man i have so many things going on its hard to take care of bizness..i need to file my taxes too! gonna call my tax guy tomorrow, come hell or high water!
also need to fill out a FASFA, catch up on homework, complete paperwork for this scholarship that needs to be post dated by may 1st, do traffic school... agh! not enough hours in the day! was gonna do the FASFA online tonight but got distracted by that TRD2000GT No 1 thread!

[masagsxr]

Hahahaaaa..... stay focus........ Oh, i'm doing the turbo tax thing as I do it practically every year anyways.... Had a tax guy do it once and i've just been following his guide ever since. Besides, turbo tax makes it way way way easier nowadays.

Are you taking an actual traffic school at some school or online? Do it online. You can do it in an hour or 2

Taxes suck when you have investments though. Especially if you shuffle money around a lot and do a lot of trading and reinvesting of dividends. I have to do mine this weekend too . I'm gonna try and get my seats done this weekend...after that I just need to do the windows, wire up the stereo, finish the LED's, and put everything back together...oh and tint. I feel like it's gonna be a lot more work than it sounds like

[datguydeni]

mm anyone remember the part # from nissan for the knob lock for the t-top my other side broke =(

edit: nvm found the part # 91693-30p00

[honda_bar]

ren, i agree with your comment about the 2000gt... I too (<-- should that be too or to? someone correct me please!) wished it was restored to 'original' condition.

I got a compliment on my fogs from a friend that was driving in front of me..."wow colin, those fogs are friggin bright!"

[masagsxr]

did you flash him with your headlights?

[deucegirl03]

colin u were right it is "too"

yeah guys i used to do turbo tax but my parents have been going to this one guys for years and he gets me more money than i can on my own, even after the $75 he charges me to do em, so i go that route now...

and def gonna do traffic school online! last time i had to do it i went online and it was way faster and more convenient...what the hell did we all do before the internet? wat an awesome invention!

[masagsxr]

Deni you out there? You speak to the guy that does the paint? I'm seriously considering it. I'll double what he charge as long as he does it right. My car is straight, want small dents taken care off etc. Same color.. He can keep the car for as long as it takes. No rush on my end since I have my truck to use.

lmk.... I was trying to find your post but its buried somewhere many many pages and couldn't find it hahahaa..

[Cjung]

lol... congrats ren to hopefully figuring out the idleing problem

anywayz i gotz them OEM foglight switch =D thanx to colin for only 17 bux shipped
(from UK ebay... WOWZORS)

but while i was thinkin of foglights i went to check if my car was prewired like many of you guys and sadly found out both of my cars did not come prewired....

[deucegirl03]

[Mark_Dorman]

Hahaha, you'll be the first to know Mixxer.

[Mark_Dorman]

Ordered the LED's...The options weren't for Cool wight so I'm not sure exactly what they'll look like. If they don't look right I'll return them and I can wire in the regular LED's for Cool White...

*Edit: Nevermind...the ones of the climate control can only be done in white. There are no component LED's in cool white either
