I think I am going to stick to my original plan. I am going to spray all the plastic bumpers and trim with the Rust-Oleum flat black bumper and trim paint. First, I need to address two heavy scratch marks on the front bumper cover and then I want to have a new rear bumper before doing all...

Well I ran my first tank of Shell V-Power Nitro or something like that it's called. And I never reset the odometer so I didn't know what MPG I was getting. I then went to my plan which was using 89 octane plus a bottle of octane booster. I am getting 14.95 MPG on 89 octane plus a $1 bottle of...

I went to the local car stereo install shop. Good news and bad news. They said I HAVE to keep all my speakers in the Xterra stock! Rockford Fosgate speakers are 2 ohm speakers. But they did say that they could tap into the RF amplifier which would allow me to keep all my factory speakers AND...

Thank you for the help. And in return, I have a great solution to your cigarette smell. They sell this at Walmart if you can find it. I buy vehicles from the auction all the time that smell like cigarette and this works. It's Armor-All FRESH fx Smoke X. It's like a bug bomb fogger. You...

Great, I have a ton of cans of the bumper and trim paint. But I'm sure I can return them. I got it from Walmart.com

I wasn't aware the bumper and trim paint was available in Gray. I only found it in flat black. I guess I'll be returning it. The inside of mine is mint, including the black leather. So, I'm changing my plan. I was going to remove the headliner and spray it black but I found a shop that will...

Hey have you had a chance to paint your bumpers and trim yet? I was going to use flat black but then you talked me into getting bumper and trim paint. Thing is, now that it's home, the bumpers aren't faded at all on mine. But, the slim trim pieces that go over the wheel wells are faded. The...

This is weird. I thought I already replied to these quotes but it doesn't show my answers. So, here I go again. I think I typed that the round trailer plug connection said NISSAN on it, but I was wrong. It says NISSAN on the step beside it on the trailer hitch. My body shop guy is going to...

Well I talked trash about the RF stereo system but I have "kind of" changed my mind. If you're listening to the radio, even songs with heavy bass on the radio, it sucks. If you're listening to a CD, then the stereo actually has some punchy bass to it. I was actually kind of impressed. But...

Ok so my eyes WERE playing tricks on me. It does have one rust spot on it but that is it. I also fixed the windshield wipers by tightening them. We had another day of cold weather and rain. It was 50 degrees today. Tomorrow it is "supposed" to be 80 and sunny. I have not yet vacuumed or...

Yeah I'm going to check that tomorrow. It rained for most of the day, again. And it's supposed to rain tomorrow, again. When I inspected the Xterra before I bought it, it only had surface rust on the rear bumper by the license plate. After I bought it I noticed a spot, about a 3" circle of...

Yeah I am pretty sure I'm hearing the heat shield of a cover of a catalytic converter. I did own a vehicle in the past a long time ago, that had a rattling cover on the catalytic converter and I wrapped a metal wire around the shield and twisted the wire tight until it stopped rattling. Heck...

Ok everybody I finally went and got my Xterra off the lot and it is home now. I drove it around all day. I ran it down to hardly any gas and then I stopped at the Shell gas station. Gas in Fort Wayne, Indiana right now is $2.95 per gallon for 87 octane. I got lucky and found it for $2.88 at...

My Rockford Fosgate subwoofer isn't working. I looked at one on eBay and the sub looks really shallow. I'd like to replace the sub, but does the factory RF 8" sub have a special connector or special slim depth? Also, since my sub is out, I might go another direction. I'd like to put in a new...

Being that I know nothing about superchargers, is there any maintenance required to keep the supercharger going? I was looking at pulleys tonight and noticed some supercharger rebuild kits and they all came with AC Delco supercharger oil. Do you ever need to add oil to it?

Since you said the intake that I linked on my post is a little long, would this one work better? Its doesn't come with a heat shield but it is a little shorter and it costs less as well...

Quick Question. I was told to get an intake and a pulley and then I'd be able to hear my supercharger. I saw a Youtube video of someone revving up their throttle control on the engine, and the supercharger seemed pretty loud. They had a K&N intake but that is a ridiculous $325. Also I need a...

Question. I saw a YouTube video of a supercharged Xterra and it had a K&N intake on it and the supercharger sounded pretty good. I've been told to get an intake and a pulley. Can someone provide me with a link to the correct pulley? And, I know this isn't a K&N. The K&N is a ridiculous...

@Prime Mentioned this as well. If you have a VG33E, then it should say that. I have a VG33ER and mine should say that. If everyone's VIN tags say VG33DE, why is there no information on this on Google or Wikipedia. You have a 5N1E so from what I've been told, that means you have a...

I know I'll be fixing the exhaust and usually it is cheaper to go loud than to go quiet. I've listened to the Flowmaster 44 and Flowmaster 50 on YouTube. The Flowmaster 50 was poorer audio, but I could tell it sounded better. Now I don't know if they got rid of their cats or not, but I'm...
