I woke up too late to register for AutoX yesterday but I still made it to support my pals. Unfortunately it was like a hurricane there with tons of rain. They still raced thru it.

Ugh today. Went to pop the hood and broke the hood release. Called Nissan. 45 dollars for the part and then they estimated 70 dollars for installation!!!!! I'll be installing it myself. Also, I can't order the part over the phone so have to drive across town to order the part then go back when it comes in.

did the leverage point break? it happened to mine a while back when i was trying to remove that bottom cover under the steering column. i fixed the hood release using a washer and zip tie. if that is wat happened to yours...

if you go under there, you will see that the cable just leverages near the hinge point. if you can lock that part down, the assembly will work again. so for me, the fix was like $0.25 and 15-20min trying to figure it out. :icon17:

btw, i pop the hood every weekend to clean the engine bay, and to hook up a battery manager. it's been fine for a few yrs now after the fix. :p

Drove her to work. Lately I've been staying off the toll road to save money but the road I usually cut across is now just grooved pavement. :shakes head: I wonder if I can bill the city for the tire wear I'm sure I'm encountering. That damn road has been grooved for about a week now.

I wish it was that easy. The actual plastic part broke completely off where the wire connects to the release. Just ripped the center of the release out. Big gaping hole now. Need to replace the entire plastic release handle portion.

Can you take some photos? We might be able to help with engineering a solution to save you some money?

Also I might be able to just sell you mine for cheap? I'm ditching the cable/latches for hoodpins.
