They tried to tell me the noise was the aftermarket cd player that wasn't grounded properly, and they ordered the part for the locks. They installed the lock part, I get it back, it still has the lock problem, they scratched the plastic piece on the door where a tweeter would go, and now my driver side window won't roll up unless the door is closed. And when I open the door the window goes down a bit, then I close the door and it doesn't go back up. I have to leave the car running, climb in the passenger side and roll it up with the switch, then turn the car off and climb out. And my ECU is still whining. Super ghey PITA...

Yeah- I ended up taking it to the Nissan dealership down here in WPB off of Blue Heron blvd. I had the service advisor sit in the car so I could show him the whine.

They ended up ordering the ECM (the official nissan term for ecu) but it was for a base, not sport touring, so it didn't work out. The replacement part is currently on order.

In regard to your window issues, have you tried resetting the ECM by disconnecting the negative terminal and holding down the brake for a minute to drain it? Wondering if the windows are messed up because of that somehow.

Did anyone in Miami crash yesterday? There was a 370z in a median with the rear tire out. Looks like it hit it so hard it knocked the wheel off. Hope it's no one on here

Okeechobee is the biggest town around Lake Okeechobee. It has a Walmart and three-screen movie theater. The people are generally very nice, but don't expect it to be anything like Vero, PSL or WPB. It's VERY rural. If you want entertainment other than the three-screen theater, you'll be driving at least an hour as Huck mentioned.

I'd say Vero is definitely the better bet. It's closer to the coast and closer to fun stuff to do.

You can thank my wife for that one... Btw her jaw is still sore and her knees are a Lil scraped up too! Lmao

A quick google map search on my iPhone says that you will be 20-45 minutes west of 95, and about an hour away from Vero, depending on where exactly you settle.

Haha that makes me think of this one town that I've driven through before, I think it's on 192 towards kissimee or something, it was something about bear or bear paw or something, anyway it's like one road with a gas station and 4 or 5 houses. You literally drive through the "town" in about 30 seconds. Yay for civilization!

Lots of "country folk" out there in okeechobee. Many of my academy class was from that area and the biggest event for them is mudfest and hog hunting on weekends. Generally though some of the nicest people around. Except for the occasional bad egg that you get in any area. May not be alot of tuner enthusiast out there though. Any closer to the coast the better in terms of entertainment.

Niche79 · 03-23-2012, 11:37 PM

Yah I figured it would be redneck as hell lol. Actually she had a phone interview this morning after I wrote this and it went very good, the doctor that called her said he really liked how it went and now he has to take it to the head doc in the hospital to go over things and if she wants to have her down for an interview, she will find out soon! I mean to me if they have a phone interview, its already a good sign. Yah I would much rather live in Ft Pierce just because of the town and its right off 95 so your not out in hickville and my job (UPS) is located in that city so no long drives.

Ok Hawk, you get the beer then, cause things are looking up! She was super excited when she called me on the phone this afternoon while I was still at work. So we might be down there in the next few weeks for an interview, they said they will cover all travel expenses and hotel bills etc.

I used to live in Fort Lauderdale but moved to the Orlando area about 6 months ago for a better job. Are there any car clubs here?

Some Events/Meets:

- Weekly Thursday meet at Route 46
