You must phrase that in the form of a question...

i.e. "How is it possible that this thread could be more retarded?"

I guess you never had a question you want it to ask but didnt want to open a thread this is why i did this, you may think this is stupid wich is fine , just go back to your other org wich by the way i am on and i see all type of stupid thread, this is in somewhat helping someone with a question like twentyeggs instead of criticizing why not just try to help him with his problem.

had a shop balance the tires and i have tried balancing myself with different psi. still got the shimmy.....thanks for the advice guys but i always try the cheaper and simplest fix first. gonna try to have my rims checked for bends too but from reading all the other shimmy threads i dont think that will solve it either.

As you know 20eggs this shimmy was discussed earlier in the month in this thread:
http://forums.maxima.org/6th-generat...on-60-mph.html
What's the date and number of the TSB?

Random questions in an existing thread with an unrelated title don't help the forum very much. If someone stops in on the forum looking for an answer to a shimmy question, they'll certainly not enter a thread that says "random questions" that may have 700 unrelated replies in the coming weeks just to discover if it Might have the answer to that little question. I've been in the thread a couple times just to see what you are chatting about, but after a page, I'll never visit again, nor will most logical folks. Which means there will be even less exposure to members that might have answers to those random questions that should have been asked in their own thread with related title.

You're heart is in the right place, you brain took a siesta...

you know what you 100% right it don't make sence if you look at it that way, this is just for that one question you have at the time is not for down the RD, is for right now not later, if someone want to know something in particular then I am sure there is a thread and they wont have to come here, quick questions only lol but I get what you saying max trust me I do.

I am researching the fitment for these rims on my 06 Maxima, I know they fit but am unsure about which lug nuts I will need. All my research tells me that 12 x 1.25 mag-standard will be the right fit but I've been searching the forums for 2 hours and have not found any clear answers. Anyone have this or similar setup that cant help a playa out?

Please Please help me. I'm new to my car and new to this site.

Problem #1:
I just purchased a 2004 Maxima. The owner left the country and hadn't turned the car on for a whole year and a half. I turned it on for the first time and the SES light came on. A friend of mine used a check computer device and was able to shut it off, but when I turn the car off and then back on, the SES lights comes back on. This all happened yesterday. Any advice?

Problem #2:
When I turned the car on yesterday morning, I heard a sound come from under the hood as if something popped. Then a cloud of white smoke started coming out of the pipes in the back of the car. Later on in the day, I noticed that the radiator coolant was leaking from the top left and right hand corners of the radiator. A friend of mine said to replace the radiator for about $200 bucks. And input?
