Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -
so where was this?
I here all the time that old techs cant stand working on modded cars, and then you find out they go home to work on there muscle car/hot rod.
Their is a reason my car well never go to the nissan dealership. Granted if they looked at it they wouldn't know what side was up. There is many a reason why I avoid Gateway Nissan, and actually most of gateway.

that is the huge negative side of modified cars, especially when it comes to electrical work. There has been a many of times where i go to do some diagnostics and find out that the ckts that are bad are modified related due to someone routing something incorrectly, overloading a ckt, etc, etc.
And yes, our dear old technicians hate working on new, especially modified cars.....for the same reason why i hate working on old cars.....we dont understand them as much. Give me a fuel injected vehicle any day over an old carb/vacuum operated car.
Its great to hear that you figured it out.....maybe yourself should think of getting into our field. We are in desperate need of not only GOOD Technicians....but SMART ones. It is easy to find and replace someone who can do brakes, suspensions, or even engine work.....but someone who can diagnose problems, especially electrical....now they are the ones that we need and are in high demand and well paid.

I agree working on cars that are modded can be a pain but he just bitched all day long. He didnt care to find out what this was or that was. If he took the time to find out that he had O2 simulators and where it was located it would of make his job a whole lot easier. He sounded like my wife! NAG NAG NAG!

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I just need to find a shop that will give me a chance. By the way.....electrical is not my strong point. Its prolly one of my weakest.
