Hey bud, check out the plug on the back right side of your hvac control. That's the main power to the unit an I often the cause of that exact problem. Next time it does it, stick your hand back there and wiggle those wires. If you have an aftermarket headunit just don't lock it into the cage and you can just slide it out whenever it stops working to test it.

YKYDAXJ when you brave city streets/traffic with only three known working brakes and pray that you don't need to try to stop short on damp greasy pavement for some poor schlep that steps out in front of you...

yeah i know... i hate doing it but its the pre bent line on the rear axle that rusted through and im swapping rears in a week or two and i dont want to put any money into my d35. At least i wont run without a front sway bar, i got a friend that does that and i give him hell about it every day





bahahahaha its not too bad but I just ordered some new bushings that should be arriving tmrw and it will go back on :P
