: So... I have been calling shops for a while and I finally found one that didn't tell me a VE30DE does not exist. I asked for a quote for replacing the rear exhaust manifold studs and they came back with an estimate for $750. He said I need to replace the manifold, and that was with 4 hours labor (@$85/hr). He also said a bunch of things about 'if the extractor breaks...' and all that, slowly chipping away at my confidence. : This is probably the stupidest problem a car can have, and it's my second Nissan with this problem. The last one I sold because of this ('85 300ZX-T). Looks like my only option is to somehow figure out how to do it myself, or get rid of the car. This is so dumb. : Anywho... Just needed an outlet for frustration I guess. This irritates me every single time I start my car. Heads turn. People ask "What the heck is that noise???" It's great. No wonder I never drive the thing. : -Jacob
: It's times like this that I straight up HATE my car. I always end up with these cars that I really like, but they develop some esoteric problem that no one can fix.
