Jon, I am in for tomorrow. I think I can do lunch too.

REALLY! Last two week trip I took was 5 pairs underwear, bathing suit, 4 pairs socks, couple shirts, pants, suit, t-brush & paste, brush, q-tips, razor. Throw in bag - throw in car - buckle - drive to airport. So ten minutes later. Are you a girl?

LOL

PS - Have fun - just jealous :)

you dont want to take a cruise man... you'll be eating SPAM

ok.. happenned just once! :) I am sure you heard about Carnival. Sucks for them!

I thought I had really cheap insurance... but now that the dust has settled.. I am not happy with my insurance rate (classified).

I got a quote with USAA and its not much better...

worst... I drive like I have a million dollars in insurance... but its actually pretty weak. ...maybe I shouldn't just shift like grandma, but drive like her too.

this is the plastic bag that was causing all the trouble...somehow it managed to rip into the filter and get stuck.... also my car runs fine after i took it out, but nissan still wants me to pay about 1100$ to fix it. so just incase something might be wrong, i towed the car to AAM to check it out, and do some quick fixes.

towing to AAM

Amar, thanks for sharing the pictures and information. Very insightful.

I'll read back and see which dealer you were working with, to make sure I dont go there :)

I have seen some people's car with two intakes... but I havent' really look under my hood even to see whats in there... but the point was that with two intakes maybe it shouldn't have blocked all the air like that... dont know. I'll take a look under my hood one of these days. Can also be one intake per side of the engine (3 cyls).

By the way, AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, all sell air filters. You could call around and see if they have the filter for it in stock.

In regards to the sensor... if the engine light is not on, then it should be ok.

thanks frank, but AAM will get me a replacement filter :)...

yeah, it makes sense.... sorry, you towed it to AAM :) that should have given me a hint... read it too fast

good luck once again

hey guys i'll try and make it... might be a little later, but just wanna make sure this is the address: 15606 Emerald Way
Bowie, MD 20716

i'll see you all there .

bump

I am at the longhorn. Plenty of parking. Gonna go grab a coffee.

I'm leaving Fairfax now

I'm running late and now my damn car has a weird noise under the hood.

Does it sound like a MEOW?

i am here, but this
place gives a new meaning
to pin in a haystack.

and nobles. what else by
longhorn?

We are currently hoisting a beer in your memory...

Slacker...

Kirk, Al, Frank, Amar, Lance...Pat and I had a nice time today. The weather was about as nice as one could ask for and the Misfit Red was mighty tasty indeed!

ROFL!!!!! WOW.. Talk about trying to RAPE YOU A NEW ***!!!

I would never go back to that NISSAN dealer!! why on earth would they try and make you replace your whole intake system over a bag!!! They must have saw you coming, that intake system is not made of paper.. All they had to do was clean out the bag and put a new OEM filter in and call it a day.

Just wow, this number 12243435353### why I don't go to dealer,, nothing but sharks!!!

Good seeing you all...well...except for this nasty lady... ;-)

Brian you sold your car??

what are you driving now?? ohh lord, please, not another ford driver.

oh God no..lol but I would Push a ford shelby gt500:tup:

Tony is only one who knows what I got. Guys will see on 20th :tup:

Spill the beans Tony. I got you
a six pack! I am sure the group
can raise you a case

if the rims are a hint,
i'd say a GT-R or a Porsche.

am i warm?

Hahah..

Not a GTR (wrong calipers).

:roflpuke2: Too Funny!

I swapped out the stock air boxes for a set of K&N Typhoons, and apparently f'd up the install. Five days later, a small piece of rubber got caught in the throttle body and I was DOA. I had the car towed to the dealership. The service manager called me a couple of hours later. My car was fixed, but it wasn't covered by the warranty.
Total bill: about $375, and $100 of that was towing; and I'm INSIDE the filters.
How the he** can this dealer justify $1100+???????

well this is the break down:

$500 for towing and new intakes
$600 for mas airflow sensor or something like that


thats what i was told... and thats about 1100$ ...anyways, i took it somewhere else, and i'm sure my car is fine after i removed the bag ...

Could be a new EVO... similar calipers.

Saturday was very, very fun. I like the Bowie Town Center location. Good food, good beer, and good coffee all within walking distance!

I took pix when I left. I'll post them later.

In all, we had myself, Kirk, Lance, Jon & Pat, Frank, Amar, Paul and Woody in their 350's. We also had a guy in a Mustang GT park with us. After we went to lunch, another very highly modded 350 parked between Jon and me. And there was an SRT Challenger who parked next to us as well.

Good times!

Sounds like a great time. Would have made it, except i had to spend all weekend cleaning paint splatter off the front of my car. Even the clay bar wouldn't take that stuff off. Good news is that it's all cleaned off, and have 3 coats of Zaino on the front end :tup:

hey Jay, glad you got that fixed... checked out Zaino... they have a picture of a 350z on their front page.. better yet, with a 350z web site logo

Zaino Store

Yeah... lots of patience and time to get all that junk off my paint. The Max is lookin show-car clean and glossy right now. Oh wait... there's nothing showy about my car :roflpuke2:

Except the driver...

no homo

HA! Well, my paint is quite sparkly now that i have a few coats of Zaino on there now. All that's missing is my airbrushed unicorn on the hood :roflpuke2:

I definitely want to make a drive up to the location yall were at this past Saturday. Sounds like a lot of places to get food, hang out, etc. Hope you MD folks don't chicken out this weekend for the Fairfax meet hahaha

I'll be there (barring house emergencies). My plumbing did in fact break again after last week's Bowie meet. Yes, the plumbing that I had fixed the Saturday before that!

I will be drinking little fu fu drinks on my balcony on the Oasis of the Sea watching the water go by...
