Random Little Question Thread
hey guys i have a 2005 g35 coupe and today i was driving home from about 5 miles away and i saw smoke coming from under my hood. i checked my temperature gauge and saw it was extremely overheated i pulled over and shut off my car. i opened my hood and saw that my coolant reservoir had completely emptied itself and there was coolant all over my grill, radiator, and all around my reservoir. i filled it back up and made it home.. my tempature went back up steadily and when i got home it was overheated, i checked the reservoir and it was completely full..
i got my car tuned at uprev yesterday so idk if that could have anything to do with it.. any help would be extremely appreciated i have no idea what to look for

Your radiator is probably busted. These cars are 10yrs old and the plastic on the radiators becomes brittle with all that heat under the hood. The smallest bump can crack dat as$.
OEM is always better for smog related components.
Shouldn't be too hard. They are usually on there tight as fug, and I'm not sure exactly how hard they are to reach in this car. If you can't get the leverage you need it may be difficult. Not sure. Of course I always find one way or another, so I can't say go to a mechanic. If you are not sure tho, I guess its an option.

Any slammed guys here run with their splash shield off? Mine is hanging off from the back and is scraping every small imperfection in the road, looks like a few of the mounting holes are torn. I'm gonna try and duct tape it or something but cannot afford a new one after getting my lower control arms replaced..

Although I recently hit a huge puddle and it kicked up water into my headlight and blew the balast. But the person I got the lights from didn't seal the holes from the hid fog lights so I fixed that and it should be good now. That's the only problem I've had so far.

Anyone know the Low Tire Pressure warning threshold for when the light kicks on?
According to the inside of my door, the recommended pressure is 30PSI, I usually do 31, but either between a slow leak or colder temperatures, my light will turn on when I have a tire at like 28.5 or 29PSI.
That seems pretty extreme to have it engage so soon, I guess I am used to other cars where it turns on much lower like say 25psi where it would really show immediate need. I just get annoyed that it pops on and I wonder if its safe to drive to work before I can fill it and come to find out its only 1lb low.

Also I just though of this side question, for those of you with bluetooth phones, what speakers does the sound come out of when talking to someone? I feel like mine has always been bad or its a poor design because I only hear things from the passenger side of the car, I believe its the door tweeters, but would have to double check which exact speaker. Is this normal or should the driver side have voice too?
