^Thank you! I'll go digging through the fuses again. That looks to be the one next to the battery. I'm just gonna check them all while I'm at it

 

Can o2 sensors be spliced? If i'm missing one of the plugs (broken) how can I go about getting the proper wires connected without having to buy a new harness (since it's NOT on the sensor side).

 

nope. did one of mine, still getting a cel.

 

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

 

i just twisted them together, i odered a new one, i dont feel like messing with it anymore.

 

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?

 

HOPE ya get it figured out. It would suck if the bcm got fried. Thats not cheap. I should know i drilled a hole in mine running my airlines and 300 bucks later and a few facepalms i was up and running again

 

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

 

To be on the safe side, first you should disconnect the battery then step on the brake for about 30 seconds, then disconnect the TB harness and start your cleaning. And during the cleaning try not to turn the valve like crazy. You might still need to do ECU reset and relearn after you put everything back together. I know some here will tell you otherwise, but after I screwed mine up I'd be extremely cautious dealing with TB next time. Just my .02.

 

Xenon=HID and a separate option as well.
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.

 

^ none of the above except the rims. Sports package on a 04 sedan includes titanium finish interior trim, sport-tuned suspension (red struts), and 5-spoke 17" wheel. If it is 6MT it already comes with sports package. Painted under trim could be from the body kit (aero/Nismo/aftermarket), or just painted by the previous owner; spoiler could be stand-alone or part of the aero package; Bose audio and dual power seats with memory could come individually but most likely they are part of the premium package. If you can find the original window sticker you'll be able to figure out. Or post a picture so we can have a better idea.

 

You'll be fine. Just get a rear camber and toe kit to keep your rear wheels in check.

If the window fix don't fix it, check the bolts on the rear seat. I've had this problem in several other cars (Hondas - EP, TL, MDX), and it was always the bolts that held down the rear seats. My sedan had the same sounds but it always disappeared when someone was sitting in the back, so I thought that would have been the same for this car, I was just too damn lazy to tear everything apart to tighten the seats down to see if that was the problem here.

Change your oil. The higher the first number, the safer you are in the winter. 0W means your oil is thinner and will freeze much faster and is meant for summer conditions. From what I understand, it was originally meant to be used to flush out your motor, but since it's safe to run all year round in places like California, it just caught on.



EDIT: I didn't notice how old those Qs were!

 

good way to see if you have the premium package: do your back two windows auto down/up like the fronts?

 

Thanks, I'll have to check the shocks out, and too bad I have HID, I wanted to take the lazy way out and buy some black housing headlights from ebay guess I'll be shelling out for retrofits or putting some time into painting mine..

I think the sport package does give a different shift ****,

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.

 

^Nissan didn't paint the lower trim on any of them that didn't have the nismo/areo package.

As for the shift ****, I think that changed in 04.5
