Suspected cause
only issue was a dead battery, probably from the car sitting before I bought it, and resulting alternator replacement.
Leading evidence: 'dead battery, probably' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'dead battery, probably' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check those out.....thanks' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Nope, the dyno I went to didn't work, need one with mechanically connected front and rear drums/rollers, otherwise the car's diff was getting all confused by the speed difference between front and rear wheels.
keep the pics coming and please everyone leave your useless comments to yourself. i really enjoyed this thread until these last few pages.
PICS ONLY!!!
Brando, great rims. what are they, and if you dont mind, rough est of cost for the 4....
I think I see the same aero front and side on Ben's and Brando's? Lookin good, guys. I'm getting that jealous urge to do some of these mods to mine....

Rain slows me down to Prius speed
It's not THAT bad, however I know a person who suffered $50k worth of damage to his GT3RS when he combined rain and MPSCups, so I take it realllly easy.

Will try again next week somewhere.
Nice to see this thread is still around! Since I posted last winter, I added PSS10s, Champion RG5/PS2, a hardwired V1, and some Rennline pedals. . . and learned to clean, polish and wax!!

Hey thanks much! As you can tell, I am kind of going for the luxury touring look rather than the racing look. I know wood is a little out of style, but I still like it. (I guess it's because I always wanted an E-type Jaguar when I was a kid).
I also like the rims. I had a chance to stop by Wheel Enhancement when traveling (they are pretty close to LAX). Nice to see a selection in real life.
booch, the RG5s are perfect for narrowbodies but they don't offer it in 12s.
check out the HRE P90s in 19x12s.
[email removed]
is a great help. they're only 20lbs or something ridiculous like that for a 3 piece wheel. not sure how strong they are, but they're gorgeous.
if you search HRE C90 on this site i think it'll pop up someplace. that's where i found them. i would get these wheels if i wasn't so lazy about selling my work wheels right now. damn i've gone thru OZIIIs, then now work.... and then HRE.. and then i know i'm going to want something else.
Hey, thanks Alec4s911, itacud and boochook
First, I guess I should have been more creative in my User Name!
I liked this combo when I saw it. It is way more retro look than most of the 996s I see, but I am kind of retro too. Like I mentioned earlier, I really like the old E-Type Jag (XKE) and I think the overall feel is kind of similar--really sensual lines. Here are a couple better interior shots. The think I like about this is that the original owner did not just add a wood piece here or there, they are really tied together well. I thought the interior color went with the exterior pretty well too.

OK, you caught me.
I know there are some opener hacks out there, but I just attached via velcro to the only plastic cover I could find. It's out of sight for any normal view, but can reach easily (and remove when it's in the shop).
Whew, you guys are tough!
PS: Didn't mean to take so much space on this great thread--just want to thank you all for the comments.
great car, with a cool color and great miles. I bought mine from a private dealer when it was just barely out of warranty with just under 14k miles. enjoy to the max....
Jon: I bought my (dream car) 2004 996 C4S in April, and I intend to drive it year-round, so I'm researching snow tires. Apparently Nokian and Blizzaks are the choices. What do you use/recommend?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm sure Nissan corporate was pleased......
We were cooking......it is in shadows, but my right front tire is off the ground.
Hey guys! Its been awhile since I posted...not even sure if this is the right place to ask. Anyways, I recently moved to Austin for a short-term contract and saw this 03 C4S at a small dealer by my apt. Spoke with sales and everything seems to be on the up and up (i.e. service records, carfax, one owner). Asking price is low $30ks with ~91k miles. I do plan to get a PPI if I decide to pull the trigger on this one...but what less obvious issues should I worry about besides RMS?
Here's some shots of the car...

car looks really nice. I love my 03 C4S, which is almost a mirror image of this car. only differences are the exhaust tips and grey interior with alum dials. only issue was a dead battery, probably from the car sitting before I bought it, and resulting alternator replacement. I bought mine this year with just over 14k miles. you won't be disappointed with this car, imho. hope it works out for you.
