Update: just got off the phone with Javier, it was a different cylinder this time. And I got the terminology wrong, the lifter collapsed on cylinder #5, releasing all the tension on the lifter spring, that's why the valve stuck shut. Nothing more than the bolt securing it broke. That's what happened last time as well on cylinder #3. I'll have the car back by tomorrow hopefully. Been using the POS Sentra since the g/f works the same hours as me...thing has gotten more decrepid since I last drove it. Tranny bangs into 2nd, slips into 3rd, and shifts into 4th whenever it damn well feels like. On top of that, the rack and pinion is rattling around, giving it the death shake, and it drifts all over the road above 45mph.

Yeah, nothing like having the phrase on repeat in your head while driving, "I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE,"

Sad to hear about the GA, although let me know if something starts going wrong what you're going to have for an asking price, I'm absolutely in love with that thing. A buddy of mine just floated a valve in his '72 monte carlo 454, pretty easy though because that motor wasn't meant to go over 5000 R's and he was beating on it.

Again sad to hear about the GA. Hope to see it around a while longer. I've test driven a G8GT and also have the 3.6 in the Saturn and it's AMAZING. 0-60 in 5.8 sec and a 14.5 1/4 mile... can out run a police car AND get 30 MPG's. Aura XR's have paddle shifters, 3.6 w/6spd, 252/251 HP/TQ. Maibu's just have the button on the shifter. Malibu and G8GT these are the only two I'd go for on your list, I'd suggest Aura XR but that's just me! :(

:rofl: GO NISSAN :)

Fenders had handprints all over, and the radiator cover and part of the top of the bumper cover were covered in grease. All cleaned up now, but kinda annoyed.

Fun Fact: I can imitate Jim Carrey pretty well...so yeah, I can do that. :rofl:
