Why I have bought CM tattoo before.....the wife loves that stuff
Uh oh getting off-topic..... Has anyone used the meguiars headlight restoration kit before? The one that comes with a buffing pad that attaches to a drill. And no I will not try wet sanding because I know for sure I would FUBAR my headlights.

if you do not wet sand them, you are only masking the problem and they will haze up again no matter what product you use

Even if you use some sort of rubbing compound before using the PlastiX stuff? I tried the turtle wax kit that came with little wet sanding pads and all they did was scratch the hell out of my headlight. I probably didn't do something right like have the right amount of patience but that turned me off from the idea of just wet sanding them.
^^^ I thought about doing something along those lines. Except I don't have fogs so I was thinking of running some sort of flexible tubing from the fog light opening up to the air filter. Just something to bring more cooler fresh air right next to the air filter. Doubt it would do much but couldn't hurt.
Something like this
I tried to figure out a way to do that too but didn't want to lose a fog. Thought I could use the lower grill area, but there's not really a bunch of room there to make a smooth flow.

and this is coming from the guy who's built exhausts out of 3" fence post's
I might try pvc also, except for the inlet. A round pvc opening would be too low for any type of regular clearance, but the 90 degree bend would be a lot smoother.

I think I got that box from a neighbor...If I remember right. Even if I did buy it...I wouldn't admit it!
I'm coming to say hi to everyone here, I just got a 05 Altima SE-R, like it very much so far... but I haven't got any remote for it and in my opinion my key is not stock as well, I'm looking to buy a remote for it, or maybe a "flip" key, any suggestion here? or any body can show me what kind remote I should buy? Since I never seen which remote is stock.
Thanks
Just finished replacing the thermostat (Well 45 minutes ago) and now bleeding the system of air pocket. It's still blowing lukewarm at idle, but nothing is leaking. Oh well. Also received my nitrous express switch panel. They're a lot larger then the OEM ones, so I will have to find somewhere else to mount them but they replace all four of my switches which makes its a TON easier.

Polishing headlights: I just use Plastix with a Mothers Ball and a high speed drill. My headlights are original and look very good IMO.
Flex Pipe for Intake: My Weapon-R intake kit came with some 3" flex/accordian plastic piping that can be used to create a cold air intake or just a tube bringing in colder air from down around the bumper/fog light. Sounds like a winter project in the garage.
Detailing: No water on my car (except some rain) since the end of last winter. I only use quick detail products except to remove road dirt and salt during the winter.
New Projects? Are the NWP spacers worth doing? 92,000 miles so a tuneup is in order this winter. I want a redtop battery, Nismo radiator and oil caps, upgrade the brakes so the the rusty rotors are history.

Do not get the Nismo radiator cap because it's increase in system pressure is too much for stock.. Almost all of Nissan's have reported problems using it.

If you need a recharge that means you are leaking somewhere. Have you noticed a loss in temperature before your ac cutout?
it definately wasnt as cold as it used to be, yes.... on a side note, how do you prevent the vents from blowing when the fans off? other than the obvious "close the vents" the faster i drive the harder it blows, which is annoying, because its blowing out warm/hot air

i used the turtle wax as well, and it scratched my headlights up worse than they already were
