Nissan doesn't like tuners- says owners manual
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/29/n...th-perfection/
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au...anual4_opt.jpg We just experienced firsthand the unbridled awesomeness contained within the body shell of Nissan's new über-Mechagodzilla, the GT-R. Apparently, Nissan is a true believer in the car's kickassedness and would prefer if owner's didn't eff it up with superfluous wings, flares and other accoutrements that have no hope of making the car better than it already is. Those who have imported a JDM GT-R to the United States will find this page in their owner's manual that warns in no uncertain terms against pulling a Paul Walker on their GT-R. Just leave the car be, folks. You can't do better than what Nissan already did, so don't try. UPDATE: Before you even ask, yes, you can get this on a T-shirt. Someone has already fired up Cafepress.com to produce tees in both white and black (even more colors available if you hit "black" link) for $14.99. We've ordered six eight so far. |
yeah I saw this before on Cobb's website. They also tell you to wave a flare at the train if you break down on the tracks...

I am guessing even at 250mph the oncoming train will have noting to do in reaction to a waving flare :P hehe |

Those pictures really take me back to when my wife and I lived in Japan. You would see cartoon-like warning signs everywhere. About the flare, a working flare is required in every car in Japan in order to pass inspection. About trains, I'm amazed that there isn't at least 20 people per day killed by trains. They tracks are in heavily populated areas with plenty of foot traffic, and a train blazes by at about 40-50mph. They have a warning noise and plastic tubes that lower as barriers to keep you from crossing, but it seems much more dangerous than trains in the states.
The fast trains are called the Shinkansen, and they don't have ordinary crossings like local trains do. Local trains could easily stop if the operator saw some car in the middle of the track. |

The cartoons are fantastic, gotta love the Japanese. 8-) |
come to think of it ... a can of soda behind the braking pedal ain't THAT bad... i mean you can crush it easily (let's assume you have consumed the beverage beforehand eh? ;) ) but with a galss bottle that may be a different matter :o

I had a very bad accident once due to a coffee mug that fell and lodged itself behind the brake pedal, I had no time to get it out, I had to brake hard due to stupid bastard in truck slamming on his brakes in front of me, I pulled the E-brake, dropped the car from 3rd to first, let go of gas, it slowed down... I still ended up wit a messed up hood my car went under this huge pickup. since that day, I religiously keep anything away from the inside of the car, some people think it is rude, but you don't drink anything in my ride |
^ Hell I took out the cup holders in my car so no drinks allowed either, its called a love of cars, so I only hang out with people who hav the same love. :)

I've got things stuck behind brake and clutch pedals more than once, including my own foot. My problem is that i get so bored on freeways, i hate long, straight roads, especially in cars with low gearing.
Also, interior appearance isn't so big for me, considering i don't have carpets :) |
Wonder why is it so hard to put the pedal lever into some sort of a plastic well, so that nothing can get stuck behind it....
