Ok Ive let this problem go far enough!  I can take the oil burning of
the exhaust anymore.  The rear one is leaking(why is it never the easy
front one:))  Anyone have any idea how long of a project this is?  Any
pointers? or is it pretty straightforward?  Plenum has to come off I

Just thought I would relay this story and see if it sounds about right.
I found water leaking form my car. Took it to Nissan today. They called
and said it was the water pump. My immediate reply, "well cool, nothing

and both CV axles replaced. I notice two things immediately (or it is

Michelin HydroEdge tires at Costco.
However this is T rated tires (which is 2 leveld below the recommended

anything on a car, just want to know how difficult it is before I ...

Anyone give me an idea what this car is worth:
93 GXE auto 178k miles, power cloth seats both sides, sunroof, ABS,
Bose. Brakes are good, with 50% wear. Tires Kumho Ecsta, 50% worn. Car
is great, loved it. Everything works except:

I broke one of the stems tightening the lug nuts. How do these stems
come off?  With 2 nuts or mash them with a hammer through the back??
Thanks:)Nel
