Why the fuck is nobody talking about this?
Can Nissan un-JUST itself?
>After 16 years at Nissan’s helm, Carlos Ghosn is handing the reins over to co-chief executive officer Hiroto Saikawa, who will assume the role of president and CEO later this year.

Ghosn saved nissan from going under. He was responsible for continuation of the r34 and development of r35 along with its motorsports participation
I only see this is a bad thing
It's going to take a fucking decade before that has any noticeable effect.

I saw the news was thinking about posting a thread but i knew someone else would do the job. The only thing that came to my head was maybe we'll get better looking cars or an affordable sports car in the future. Nah probably not.
Is a V8 with a dead cylinder driveable? Pretty sure it's either Spark plug or coil pack. I unplugged the fuel injector and the coil pack to get home. I need to drive approximately 120 miles before the weekend when I can fix it
ask pic related
you'd be fine with 3 dead cylenders
>>16713301
Just be sure you remove the hood before starting your journey.

W-what meme is this, I don't watch roadkill
I would think it'd be fine since I turned off the fuel and the spark to the cylinder....
Just bought this.
Nice car or shit?]
Could I at least beat the V6 Mustangs and Camaros?

We told you not to. Kill yourself.
>>16711869
I didn't ask
I've seen this car and looking at the specs of it it seems like a good car for tuning but is there any1 here that has actual experiences with the car.
They seam pretty solid if you're looking for a tuning platform. FWD LSD was the big thing about the spec V I think.
Watched a kid strip a normal SER for parts for his Spec V in our automotive class last year. Still see that car driving around every day.
B13 looks better but should be all the same shit underneath just newer
Terrible cars
what are some /edc/ thing s to keep in your car?
So far I have a first aid kit and a dufflebag of some fresh clothes. What else is worth having?
>>16711243
Clean pants and shirt, cheap rachet set, jumper cables, needle nose pliers, zip ties, air compressor, flashlight, p64 in 9x18 makarov, and a few of those little toliet paper squares out of some mres
>>16711243
Water
Tools
Cleaning supplies for car
A USB charger for the car
Solar powered charged (put on dashboard)
Sunglasses
Blanket/tarp
Lighter/matches
Flare
The smart thing would be for me to start putting these things in my car but damn I love having a super clean interior and being able to fold down the seats and put my bike in the back
I really enjoy reading /o/ but I'm super unread when it comes to the actual reality of street racing and picking/improving a car that would do well.
A few questions:
1. What areas of the country have street racing scenes, and where does one look to find them? Is /hou/ without the autism a decent example?
2. Are they actually similar to Tokyo drift or is that just a meme? Is it illegal?(not that that's a problem)
3. What do most people drive in these racings scenes? I assume it's all riced out WRTs, supras, etc. But I don't know.
4. I read shit online like "performance" automatic transmissions are better than manual. Is this also a meme? If true, what other common pieces of knowledge that used to be true are changing because of car technology, and how is it seen in street racing?
5. What's a good resource for learning all the shit you guys know? Spending 5 hours on /o/ just lurking threads doesn't feel like it's the fastest way I could learn.
tl;dr

Sparkplug on cylinder 1 completly smashed, any idea why?
>350$ QR25DE.
>INTERFERENCE engine but doubt its the case that it happened previously and the owner would have left an old sparkplugs.
Only on cylinder 1.
it has cancer.
>>16706616
>$350
That's $150 too high for a running engine.
>>16706616
You shoud really use common sense. That plug is smashed into itself from the bottom. Aside from someone pulling it out, smashing it with a hammer and putting it back, that only happens for a few reasons. Either something got inside the motor and the piston smashed it into the plug, or the timing belt snapped/slipped and the piston hit the plug. Smashing it.
I'm willing to bet someone snapped the belt, realized what happened and sold the motor as "Ran when pulled" or "Dunno whats wrong with it"
So congrats on the parts motor.

I've been looking to buy a car with pop-up lights for the aestethic of it; is the honda prelude (3 gen) a bad car? I don't expect anything fancy, something that is visually pleasing and that just werks.
>Lowering your car
Why do people do this?
>difficult to get in or out
>can't see anything in front or behind you in traffic
>bottoms out over speed bumps
I point and laugh when I see one of those faggots with a lowered car bottoming out on the speed bumps, you only end up damaging your car and look like a fucking retard too.
>>16706092
Because people are retarded
lower center of gravity for sick cornering
I love scraping on speed bumps, it feels like winning.
It doesn't damage your car either stop being a little bitch
I never have to worry about my battery going dead.
what about you guys with an auto?
>>16712620
What the duck are you referring to? Are you saying you ride the bus, are a lycrafag, or think transmission type affects parasitic draw?
>>16712627
no, i can bump start my car though because i have control over whether my engine is directly connected to the wheels
Bump starting doesn't work on modern engines and could fuck shit up and void your warranty.
Tranny question
I picked up a 2004 Ford ranger the other day for a project truck. The truck runs fine until I reach ~50 mph, then the over drive light starts blinking and starts shifting at a high rpm (~3k). Also once it's in its highest gear the rpm guage is still in the high 2k-3k while cruising. It makes it sound as if it hasn't shifted up to the next gear when cruising at higher speeds.
>>16712596
