Laughing @ not being able to "bolt" them on yourself. If you cant put on a header then maybe you should look into a kia.

mojo, Yes, I also enjoy paying people lots of dollar per hour to turn a wrench and line up some holes. I mean, sure I could do it, But Why not use my hard earned money on watching someone else do it...RIGHT?

I've done all my own work but some people don't have the tools, room and time to work on their car. I don't understand the hate when someone pays someone for work... some shops warranty their work and also have a lot of expensive tools people can't afford. gtfoi.

ShutItDown, bro wait until they start paying 80 dollars an hour on labor charges alone for someone to work on their car and they will understand.

guess how much the local gmc dealer charges for labor...92$hour. and i didn't even take my truck there. i needed a new gauge cluster and there is NOWHERE else but a dealer to get it done. guess how much most ski boat shops charge, 90-100$hour. guess how much a good car audio place charges, 99+$ hour. i could do some stuff myself, but it would turn out like ass. i do what i can myself, but it's not always feasible. anyways, back to the thread. get the car checked out before u purchase.

I'm guessing its a stepper motor that has gone haywire? Don't take it to a dealership, it is a simple fix. The part is real cheap.

LF-Hey I had a 240 back in the day, and other then the suspension I had to repair it ran perfectly. Right up to the point I totaled it.Nissan's are good reliable vehicles. I have yet to be screwed by them.

In my opinion, your gonna love this a lot more than the 240. M6 or A4? I woulda held out for the LS2 though. Still a badass ride!
