    call. 1-800-nissan1 nissan takes care of there cust.. always have and always will.. i do have to say though.. are you sure somone isnt mad at you...... and loosened them?? if they were not tightened by a half of turn im sure you would not have made it 4000 miles.. also lug nuts are usually "by most techs" started 1/2 to 1 turn then run down with an impact gun... i have never seen somone leave a lug nut 1/2 turn loose.. but you see it sometimes when the the nut is still only at the 1/2 to 1 turn on.... but those cars wheel will usually fall off before you leave the parking lot... i will bet you somone loosened them i seriously doubt you would have got 4000 miles without noticing a serious vibration or the wheel falling off long before then....

    i compressed fractured a good portion of my spine when i was a kid..... i have constant pain in my back.... skydiving actually helps with it because it keeps me active... the more i sit or lay around the more it hurts.. during the winter time it inflames more often and hurts a little worse.... my doctors advice to me was to stay slim and stay active...

    ask her rigger to be the middle man... have her give him a money order in your name for the listed amount and when he gets your main and is satisfied then he ships you the money order...... if he isnt satisfied then the rigger ships you back the canopy... a little trust goes a long way..... but there are creeps out there...

    relax... arch.. it is very improtant that you arch.. it is hard to start a turn and easy to stop it when you have a very good hard arch... but relaxed it is very easy to start a turn but very dificult to stop it if your not arching... fix the arch first.. then relax... then once you get that down and only then... is when you should work on your arm and leg position..... one thing at a time.... arch relax ... and i bet that is the root of the entire problem.... when the turn starts it is going to be very difficult for you to correct it if your not arching...... if you arch first i bet the turn will almost compleatly stop... and if it doesnt the arch will make it very easy for you to stop... later.. Mark p.s. .. ask your instructors... lol

    why do you have the cast?.. landing problems? 1.05 isnt anything extreame unless your very poor at judging your altitude... maybee this is why you have the cast?.. you need to take the advice of asking your local instructors... i would kill one of my students if they came to me and said so and so on dz.com said it was ok.. if your not going to jump for awhile ... incurrency is the mother of all fuck ups.... with your skill leval and not jumping for 4 months i would start all over again with the 230 or whatever it was.. somthing in that range and make a 25 jump proggression down to the 190.. yes do that...

    depends on what your useing it for. it doesnt fit in some if not most of the boxes with the extended life battery...... if you useing it for skydiving in a helmet ... there really isnt a need "in my opiniopn".. for the extended battery. is seems to do fine for me.... just hook it to the charger while your dubbing.....

    well if you bought it six months ago it is under warrenty and you should give it to sony for them to fix...... they will give you 1 years parts warrenty and 90 days parts and labor.... so it will cost you a little for labor but it isnt to much.. think about it this way... either send it in or just dont use it.... look in your owners manual for the number...

    It's great that you don't have a problem, but for many of us it is quite a major issue. In Chicago, my PC120 will regularly shut off on jumprun due to the cold temperatures at altitude causing the moist ground air in the camera unit to condense. It took me quite some time to adequately troubleshoot the problem, but adding a 'Camera Condom' seemed to have solved the problem, at least for now. I don't jump in rain, so there's little benefit to sealing the gaps in the camera. _Am i jump in ga and florida... and never had this problem.... i keep my camera out of the wind and coldtill the last minute..... now i have had the lense get condensation real bad.... also ive seen some peaple on the same day have lots of problems and i didnt have any... but mine is in a box so that may be helping...

    i dont really know the reason WHY but i think it is because he got really deep into the front riser with no airspeed.... and maybee hit a bit of turbulance .... then it folded... only for a breif second. but it was enough to scare me. and him...

    stay away from stop leak... it will cause nightmares.... or any other related product... when it comes time to fix it right i would ad a couple hours labor to the bill just because you used stop leak and now i got to deal with that nasty clogging shit... and probably would add some more parts too .... like a new radiator and heater core....
