Nissan should just shut down Infiniti. There's nothing there but a zombie corpse of a business. |

Dunno, a nail just managed to get itself right between the tread blocks. And they were pretty worn at the point anyways. |
So the internet and specifically Chris fix is a fucking liar. I wasn’t able to successfully plug the tire while it’s still on the car. I called bcaa and this 30 year veteran of the industry came and laughed at me. He gave me some really good tips that ultimately made it successful. 1- take off the flat tire from the car stupid. Almost very little chance to do a proper tire plug while the tire is still on the car because the weight of the car on the deflated tire will make the hole deformed and likely unable to seal properly. 2- it’s easier when there is some air in the tire. Ideally if it’s still pissing out air then you insert the plug. 3- use some soapy water and spray the plug. If you have rubber cement even better 4- make sure that hole is reamed properly. Aka big enough. Make it as big as possible for you to insert 5- use your entire body weight to push that sucker in. That’s why there is no way to do it from the ground. You just can’t get enough leverage. |
Bra.. someone had to tell you to take the tire off? Lol come on |
I’ve never plugged a tire before. This is my first. Stupid Chris fix video I watched didn’t help. He did it with the tire still on the car. |

What were you really doing, Badhobz...? |
ive done it when its on the car several times before, never had an issue except just getting good leverage to ream the hole and put the plug in is harder. if you have a drill it makes everything 10x easier rather than using the shitty $1 reaming tool |

Does anyone know which pharmacy has flu shots available? Should be trickling in. |
The thing is, you probably don't have an air compressor handy (especially if you don't know how to plug a tire) so at that point you need it off to go put air in it anyways. |

https://www.costco.ca/cat-lithium-cu...000149922.html he also told me that once the plug is in, it should last the lifetime of the tire so no need to get a patch behind it. Especially since its in the meaty part of the tire Quote:
He also stated it's almost impossible to lay on your side and put enough weight onto the tire to get the plug in properly unless you REALLY REALLY reamed that hole big. In order to do that, the crappy Canadian tire... uhh tire kit.. isn't adequate. Need a proper reamer tool that has like a drill like head to it. https://www.stopngo.com/cdn/shop/fil...697&width=1946 |

400Z is nothing but the Q60 engine in the 370Z chassis... Nissan is cooked. Selling Rogues to the pubic and to Mitsubishi as the Outlander are the only thing keeping them alive here. |
And isn't the 370Z chassis just a revised 350Z? I'm all for sticking with what works but that's a long time. |
Is that really so bad though? Ford did it with the Mustang and it turned out pretty good. And cars like the G35 and Xterra are timeless classics especially. If Nissan had just kept redesigning the interior and updating stuff, I bet they would've sold like hotcakes. Adding stuff like wireless CarPlay / AA, acoustic glass, panoramic moonroofs, adaptive dampers, adaptive LED headlights, DCT, direct injection, plug-in hybridization. |
G35 timeless?! lol. The ultimate buddy guy fart into a trumpet mobile. Those cars have suffered the same fate as the Altima did by the opposite sex. The yin and yang of crashing into things after 8 drinks. The sunfire/cavalier of Gen Z and young millenials. |
I used to be a huge Nissan fanboy. Now I can’t even remotely justify any of their products. Who even bought a new GTR in the last 5 years ?! I don’t know anyone. It was like 70k when it came out back in what ? 2008? And now it’s like 180k for the base GTR. Not even the nismo. Are they out of their friggin minds ?! |
