Thanks for that, if that indeed is the problem I'll have to give it a try.
Not sure exactly, I started noticing it a few weeks ago when it wasn't that cold yet. Guess I have to just drive around my neighborhood and stick my ear all around the cabin to see if I can pinpoint the location

 

My car made the noise a lot more frequently after stiffening the suspension (coils/sways etc) and it also created further interior squeaks as body roll and structural characterics were altered..... still not noise free but getting closer

 

@ANMVQ, always a pleasure. Car sounds unreal.

 

Yeah, same. Mine makes a whole bunch of squeaks where it didn't used to. There is a really bad creak from the rear deck after stiffening / lowering.

 

I had the same issue. I adjusted/extended the two little rubber knobby things on the trunk lid and sprayed a little silicone to stifle the noise.

Boom! Just found a bolt that was randomly missing from the front bumper mounting in my stash of hardware left over from my 99 Maxima. #ilovenissancostcutting

 

Just curious if anyone else has experienced any XM reception issues with their G? My XM radio has always worked great, but just recently my reception has gotten so bad that I can't tune into most XM stations unless the car is pointed the exact right way and even then it still clips in and out. It doesn't seem to be the tuner so I'm wondering if maybe my antenna has taken a crap. Has anyone else had similar issues, and if so, were you ever able to find a fix. FYI.. I've already run a search on here with no results.

 

I don't listen to XM and can't see how anyone could. The audio (lack of) quality is a deal breaker. AM sounds better.

 

Snows are on the car, and my two old friends are back:

• TPMS sensor light, that I ignore for the next 5 months, because I'm too cheap to get the sensors synced up twice a year.
• Traction Control light, that reminds me not to drive like I would otherwise.

With snow tires, a strong throttle makes the back end all loose and rubbery, and the TC slaps me back. It's just a fact of life living in the Northeast. Every year I have a re-learning and re-adjustment to my driving behavior. Oh well.

Rubbery. Yeah, that's the word.

 

Our XM used to have a few dead zones during our road trips and have noticed the frequency and duration of the times it's cutting out has gotten much worse. It's to the point where I'm doubtful I'll renew when it comes up, even though $25 for 6 months is a deal. I've got a friend in town that has also commented on the recent downturn in reception, so I doubt it's anything related to your G.

 

I took advantage of the warm (for December) weather yesterday and did the same. My 225 width X-Ice XI3 tire worked very well last year and with minimal tread wear.

Close to Montreal there is an old airport that has been converted to a race track. In the winter they plow out a course and you can take your car on it. I hope to try that in January.

 

You're probably happy that you got them on this weekend if you are getting the weather we got the past 24hrs. 3ft drift behind my work van this morning... don't care how good your snow tires are the G would have a tough time with that lol

 

Our plow guy cleared the driveway this morning.

Oh, and we lost power last night... down for 18 hours of first-world hell.

 

Crap. And I've been bitchin' about the wind we've had. Lost power for 45 minutes....
