Re: Moving to the desert
Came back home for thanksgiving. Battery was dead. The amount of trouble it was to get it back working and then changing the battery, to driving my Uhaul truck with the Kizashi attached to it with a hitch was exhausting. 9 hour drive and around 400 miles later, it was all over. Never had to drive a ...

Re: Moving to the desert
Definitely not shipping it now. Will will move it down to my mother in law's home in NC to watch it. Driving it here wouldn't be worth the cost. I head back late November. Will see if it fires up.

Re: Moving to the desert
If you've got access to a wall outlet in storage, a 'battery tender' brand battery tender works wonders. Just set it and forget it. I've got a lot of these and they've kept me from killing batteries. Unfortunately the outlet has a 30 minute timer on it. I will actually ship my car out here. Will do...

Re: Moving to the desert
Just an update. I was given a Nissan Sunny. Sort of like a Nissan Sentra. It has take off lag worst than the Kizashi. So far so good. Shipping estimate is in the range of 2500 to 3500 depending on options and fees. Probably won't do it. One issue is I was unable to remove the nuts that hold the cabl...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story
Thanks for posting the non tool way to solve this issue. Had an ongoing slow tire leak for quite some time. I would constantly have to pump air back into the passenger side rear. First I thought it was the tire and took it to a place where they patched the tire and said it should be ok. It wasn't, s...

Re: Coolant question/tpms
My TPMS is asking for service as well. It will not go away.

Re: Kizashi gaz Mileage(only AWD please) with a Full gaz tank
My mileage numbers are horrible barely getting over 23 if I am lucky. What I have seen is that if I use Cruise control as much as possible, my avg jumps up immediately.

Re: DIY: Self opening trunk
Instead of 2 springs I used S hooks. I only did it on one side. 2 S hooks and 1 spring worked well. I had to use S hooks since I could not get the springs to open up with pliers unless I used a vice grip. Then I wouldn't get the best fit. Needless to say I finally got it to work. Thanks for the post...

Re: Moving to the desert
Thanks for the replies, greatly appreciated. Will probably just wait to see how it is over there for a few months and then decide. Don't want to rush into anything right away. Once I get a feel for the place and feel I could stay for a extended period then I will ship it over. Been to the middle eas...

Re: Moving to the desert
Yeah I think its best to just store it here till I get back at some point in the future. Would probably have to drain all the fluids? Would it be safe to even have any fluids in the car sitting for a year? I will at least come back every year to start it and move it around. Where I am headed they wi...
