    inside tailgate lamp

    my lamp seems to make up it's own mind on whether to turn on or not when the tailgate is open. sometimes it turns on, and sometimes it does not. would anyone know where the sensor is for this so that i can clean it. or any other way to trouble shoot the problem. thanks

    Howling Wind Noise

    i used to have the same noise, and i ended up taking the cross bars off to get rid of it. moving the crossbars all the way to the back did not eliminate the noise. made the sound a little softer, but still very audible. maybe that is because of my moon roof? it is fairly easy to take the...

    new found fuel economy :)

    i was just trying to show exactly how much i saved by cutting my speed... i know it isnt rocket science, everyone know you save gas by driving slower, but not everyone knows how much gas you can save exactly. and you're the coolest cuz you dont have to save money for gas like most of the...

    gear shifts at 6th gear

    have you guys noticed that the gear changes on light acceleration on 6th gear? or on inclines? the number on the dash says 6th gear, but the rpm increases as if it is on 5th gear. i just find it strange that the dash doesnt change numbers

    pulsing brakes

    the dealership has done all of the rotations..... i cannot say for sure that they use torqued everything properly, cuz in the background when im sitting at the dealership, all i hear are impact guns (usually i cannot see my car). actually, this makes me worry about getting it checked by the...

    pulsing brakes

    i was wondering if you guys can shed some insight in my new problem. i have 2008 cx9 with 18000 miles on it. maybe 17000 of those are on highway, so i dont use the brakes all that often. i noticed that on heavy braking, usually between 60mph-40mph, the brakes pulse and the steering wheel...

    Doing Turbo kit For the CX9 !!

    i don't think there are any standalone ECU available in the market for the cx9... but you can go with megasquirt... or just add something like HKS AIC to control extra injectors, no control of the current injectors though

    What fuel grade?

    thanks for the correction..... i guess its not direct injected.... so i guess after that is said, we can atribute the lower fuel grade to less aggressive tuning by retarding the timing and increasing air/fuel ratios

    What fuel grade?

    the direct port injection system used on the new 3.7L motors gives the the car more flexibility on the fuel grade that you can use. being that the fuel is directly injected into the already compressed combustion chamber, it is less prone to detonation. less time for the fuel to heat up and...

    locked at 160 km !!

    i dont know if its all that safe to take an 4500lbs SUV that is high off the ground past 160km (100mph) and most of the time, the speed limiters are governed because of certain limiting factors, such as the speed rating of the tires that you're using, tolerance of the differential/transmission...

    Hid Conversion Kit

    stock halogen low beam is a single filament bulb, and there is a complete separate bulb and housing for the highbeam. so even when you have halogens, the low beam is still on when you turn on the high beam. therefore, even with hid low beams, it will stay on when you have the halogen high...

    Hid Conversion Kit

    nothing will happen except for the high beams turning on. and 8000 is too blue, if you want the same color as the newer nissans it would be 4300k

    thumps and thuds over bumps

    very possible that i am just not used to suv suspension. my other cars are a honda fit which has a soft suspension, and a 3rd gen rx7 with coilovers. so you guys would agree that the suspension on the cx9 is on the stiffer side compared to the average car?
