If you've always wanted the look of a vintage Jaguar but they were too big, left hand drive, unreliable or easy to get parts for in America, one Japanese company created a not so perfect solution. Behold the Mitsuoka Viewt. Built on the body of a Nissan March by a Japanese company that specializes in unique automotive design interpretations, this strange vehicle is currently for sale on Ebay.

Following strong rhetoric of Japan's automakers against the strong yen, Nissan appears to take action. According to Reuters, Nissan will "reduce exports by as much as a third and reduce the impact of the yen's crippling strength." The move is couched into socially acceptable terms. According to the Reuters report, Nissan does not want to [...]

Nisstech,

Over the years I've found your advice to be right on the money, but I
question when "pad slap" became an unacceptable repair. I'll grant
you personal experience is not a definitive technical standard, but
I've replaced pads on my cars since the '77 Chevy (thats 24 different
cars including the Chevy, 2 Oldsmobiles, 2 Fords, a Mazda and numerous
Nissans and Hondas), never once resurfaced a rotor and have never
experienced any issues requiring "doing it again" because of the
rotors. I always change the pads before they wear to the point where
they would gouge the rotors, and have always use OEM replacement pads.

That being said, I have occasionally found stuck slider pins that
needed to be extracted, cleaned up and lubed (or replaced), and that
is something that can't be ignored or you will have to "do it again"
very soon.
