You can't put a butt connector or one of those clip on scotch locks lol. You have to solder the wires together, but you use the solder to hold the wires, NOT make the connection, the wires are looped around each other so they still make the conection.
Even then, it's not 100%, but it'll work.

Actually yesw, but it's not advised, and the proper technique isn't one that most people use.

so for cleaning the throttle body I've hear two ways of going about it soooo...do you remove the harness connector or leave it connected and clean it that way? Because I've read that if you disconnect it and the butterfly valve does't go back perfectly, the computer wont know when its closed etc etc so what the best way to do it?

Can someone tell me what the sport package on a 04 sedan includes? The previous owner didn't know because he just bought it because sport packages were the only ones left on the lot, and infiniti hasn't given me a response in over a week.
So far from what I've noticed what seperates my car from the base based on pictures:
Painted undertrim all around
Different shift ****
Different rims (Wider tires as well?)
Spoiler
Bose Audio
Dual power seats with memory
Anything else I missed? Also, I noticed my headlight kind of looks like an HID? Not sure if it is or not? When reading through the instruction booklet it looks like its xenon? Same thing as HID right? Thanks

Painted undertrim all around - Actually that's either the "Nismo" (Areo) package, or somebody had the trim painted
Different shift **** - Manual? Not sure, but I don't think the sport package has a different shift ****
Different rims (Wider tires as well?) - Correct, sport package for 04 should come with 5 spoke 17's and slightly wider tires
Spoiler - separate option, but might have been included with the sport package, can't remember for sure.
Bose Audio - separate option
Dual power seats with memory - separate option

One thing you missed, and a dead giveaway for a sport package is red shocks (that are built a bit better than the base model) and different springs to match.

I'm currently stock suspension wise. I've been thinking about what drop/rims to run. If I run oem coupe 18's (7 spoke) with 350z s techs & new shocks do y'all think I would rub or would it depend on the tire? I'm kind of a noob with suspension (offsets and what not). I know a little, but i've been reading a lot trying to learn as much as possible before I put my suspension together. I wanna get it right the first time. Thanks for any help.
P.S. I can't afford coils, so yeah![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

i just changed the oil with German castrol syntec 0w-30 with an M45 oil filter. . .right now it's 28 degrees and in the winter some days it can go down to -15 C. my question is that 0W means the oil is thinner that 5W before it reaches normal operating temp. . .is that a problem in the winter? or even now in the summer? do i really need to let the car warm up a little before a drive?
EDIT: I didn't notice how old those Qs were!

I think the sport package does give a different shift ****,
Stock : Shifter button on left http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/INTERIOR.jpg
Sport : Shifter button in front (I can't find a better pic, if you want one lmk I'll take a pic) http://images.thecarconnection.com/s...00007771_s.jpg
Also, I don't have the Nismo package (I wish) but the entire front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper trim is color matched. If this wasn't a factory option I'd be really confused, because the middle aged gentleman I bought it from would be the last person I would guess to paint their trim.
