My Bose 6-cd player says Check Disc for all 6 slots. What could be the problem? I tried multiple discs but same error. Is the Bose dead?

Quote: It depends also on what mods you use, my exhaust setup makes power down low and up top, i do t believe there was any loss in power at any rpm. Full motordyne exhaust, Tony did extensive R and D to make sure he could extract the most out of the engine.

Quote: Nice! Thanks for the insight man! I bought it because it was so cheap I couldn't pass it up honestly haha I got the megan axle back for $50 and it sounds decent. It's not loud at all. It's only 3" from 2.5" from oem so it's not a fart can lol but thanks!

Will it make a difference if its a cat back right? Not just an axle back? I'll assume that axle backs are just usually just for show eh?
Everything matters. That slight half inch increase in size means a world of difference, a full 3" exhaust means you will feel even more power loss down low. Until your motor is built, a 3 inch exhaust will not show any gains on the low end. You can get much better results up top with a tune, but you still won't get that much low end back.

Let's put it this way - my G had all the bolt-ons with headers, HFCs, and a 3" exhaust and was tuned as well. The car was fun as hell to drive as long as the RPMs were above 1500 but the low end losses made the car a pain to drive in stop and go traffic. A heat-soaked intake didn't help, but the extra torque from the MREV and spacer definitely made stop and go traffic more bearable.

That's just something to think about when you are checking out mods for your car. Ultimately, you'll feel the difference as you go, I just explained why.

You nailed it, Tony's a retired rocket scientist and does extensive R&D on all of his products before he releases them to the public.

Hey I guys I recently just crashed my less than a week old G35 while taking a turn in the rain. I was rushing to work and the road was wet but the rain had already stopped and I was making a turn and I gave it some gas and the rear end came around so I tried to counter steer but I ran out of room and went straight into the curb. My right rear wheel was bent inwards and rubbing against something so I couldn't even limp the car to work, both right rims were also destroyed. Luckily I was not hurt and I had a valid CAA membership and got a flatbed to bring my car to a Midas I used to do coop at.

I went to the shop earlier and the price to fix the car was approximately $6'000, I bought the car less than a week ago for $7'900.... BUT since I used to work there and was a very good employee the owner said he can get some used parts which are as good as new and fix the car for $2'000.

Now this brings me to my question:

This is the first RWD car that I have owned so I wanna know which side is it best to have the tires with the most tread on the front or the back?? i.e. in a FWD car you would want the tires with the most tread on the front for better braking and accelerating traction.

Also what kind of traction control/stability control system does the '04 G35 sedan have?? I honestly relied way too much on the computers to keep the car in control so I'm wondering if the car just has a basic slip detection and the throttle control to limit slip as opposed to a stability control system where it brakes individual wheels and prevents the car from sliding sideways.

Thanks in advance for any answers / opinions you guys have!

I have black floor mats in mine and I think it looks fine (although, I have converted some other parts of the interior to black as well). The light colored mats always look dirty anyways.

Headlight delima 2006 sedan
First off the headlight bulb works on high beam and not on low beam on the drivers side...can the bulb be bad.
Also I researched the forum for the correct bulb and everything points to a phillips D2R 35w bulb 85126, but when i go to purchase one off the internet it says that bulb will not work for my 2006 g35 sedan....
Any opinons would be greatly appreciated....Thanks
