The starter also went out. I had put a remanufactured starter in a little over two years again. Last time I do that. This time, I put a new one in. Saving $75 on such an important part isn't worth it.

They always fall off. Just stay off dry grass. You're lucky you got two years out of a reman starter.
- to avoid going through what you just did. I wasn't able to find a "new" starter at the time, but was assured that the Nissan rebuilt ones have entirely new internals - so as good as new.

96 Max GLE, 119kMy mechanic also said I was lucky to get two years out of it. I'll see how long this "new" one lasts. It has a two year warranty vs. 1 year for the reman. In the 2+ years since I bought the car used, it has been great other than needing two starters.
The exhaust system on this car is too expensive. Having to purchase a new cat to get a new heat shield is stupid. these cheap parts that always fail should either be re-designed or made easily replaceable on their own.
I needed a new F-Pipe and the dealer wanted $1200.00. I found a small firm that made F-Pipes out of Stainless Steel for $250.00 and I paid a guy $250.00 to put it on. He was so careful, he got the old pipe off and didn't strip or break a single bolt. A true Pro.
The only problem was, the new pipe came without the mini-cats. I wonder how my next emissions test will turn out.
