  1. Nissan created Infiniti to compete with international luxury brands like Mercedes, BMW and Porsche. After a thorough research from horizon task force back in 1985-87, they have come up with Infiniti name with four I's, which suggested the limitless international potential of this luxury Japanese automaker.

    In actual sense Infiniti means same as Infinity - endless / limitless but tweak with four I's caused a distinct and disruptive identity to create the curiosity.

  2. carpooling is perfectly legal and also RTA made a sharekni site and app for registering users interested to share their car or ride as a passenger

    RTA announces the legality of carpooling in the Emirate of Dubai. Everyone is encouraged to carpool through the Sharekni system. By offering shared ride you will directly contribute to reducing traffic in Dubai and participate in the development of the city.

  3. Removing thermostat doesn't offer optimum cooling in peak summer as coolant need to stay inside the radiator for a while to get adequate cooling. Constant circulating coolant will not get cooled very well. Go with thermostat that opens at 76 / 78 degree I guess instead of 90 degrees for cold weather.

  4. I am actually no expert on Porsche but can help you understand the spark plug theory, as it is used only to create a spark inside the combustion chamber. Every spark plug is timed based on the kms associated like normal NGK and Bosch lasts for 10k-20k kms and advisable to change in every alternate service (In Japanese, as I have Lexus). Sport performing plugs like Platinum have double the life of 40k kms and Iridium one (most expensive) have 80k kms life.

    For cars that is difficult to change plugs like removing the manifold and all top parts removal is must then its better to choose long life plugs. Also long life plugs give better performance by giving good quality spark, if they are installed with good HT leads (plug wires).

    For your Porsche you need to check which plug is recommended and which one you got in last service as to decide what next. If none of the info is handy, go old school and get it open and checked by good mechanic who can advise the condition of spark plugs and recommend to change or not.

  5. Just like to add, if car is manual gear you can start car by pushing and then engaging in 1st gear and car will start. Like shown in many old movies. Newer car came with Auto transmission stick that is not going to get started by pushing in case of battery failure. Only alternate way is to change the battery or find another car and jump start as harry mentioned above.

    I always wonder that no car manufacturer ever thought to have a backup battery fitted in the engine hood that cost less than 500 dhs in a 100-200k worth car, and signal the driver every day to replace the dead battery.....

    May be Lexus should read this and get inspired from my idea, and send me one free Lexus ;-) or even i am happy with free battery. lol.
