That's were I'd look first

my 88 but mainly only at night and the targa bar lights really come in handy patrolling the beach here at the park

Next time it happens try hitting the starter solenoid a couple of times with a wrench

I've found the easiest way 3/8 drive14mm wobbly impact socket 2 12 inch extensions that will take care of the starter bolts drop the idler arm and the starter will slid out if a autotragic drop the cooler lines. It does help to be an retired mech with the right tools

that's why they're called techs instead of mechanics now days. parts replacers. I never did any rearends while with Nissan did a few trannys, back about 1980 I spent 3 days at a Ford school on 8 3/4 inch rearends, still have my inch lb beambar torque wrench that was used to check the rolling torque. Excuse the ramblings of an old mechanic

if the system wasn't open and your just topping off, top it off thru the suction side. watch the sight glass on the reciever dryer and stop filling when it clears up when it's low it will look like soap bubbles when it's full it will be clear, looks almost the same when it is completely empty. DO NOT OVERCHARGE

the electric mirrors are 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 the manuals are approx 7 by 5, the heated and nonheated are the same

you might want to check the fuse links at the +bat post

if the filter is straight down it will be in the way of the alt,I swapped the oil filter mount for a 2000 exterra oil filter mount that angles the filter forwards

what he said, at the top 1 at the front 1 at the back then the bolt at the bottom in the adjuster, 14mm socket on the top ones

not sure if this has been mentioned before on the 3.0 to 3.3 swap, the 3.3 Im doing was an automatic it has a pilot bushing in the crank for the converter that has to be pulled if your changing over to a stick and the bushing for the stick has to be installed. This one has Jim Conner front suspension and is double shocked on all 4 corners, as I was cleaning it up I collected almost $10.00 in change, hopefully it will be running by next weekend

pull the left rear panel and you'll find it living there with a few of it's friends

waiting for the clutch kit from rockauto, if I didn't have to work this weekend it would probably be running, the 3.3 is just sitting waiting to go in

the leds are bright but the daylighters reach out further same with the 57 series

the plate is between the starter and the block 2 bolts hold it to the block, remove it and start removing the converter bolts when I did my 88 auto I had everything disconnected and jacked the front of the tranny up as far as it would go, that gave me enough clearance to clear the flex plate from the bellhousing didn't do anything else to the tranny. I'm working on a 88 5 speed now and I"m going to try and slide the tranny back, hope it works. hope this helps

got the white 88 in and started getting it ready for the engine swap, decided to go with the 3.3

top of the alt is 2 bolts 12 mm heads remove them, also if you follow the wiring back to the plugs you could disconnect there and pull the wiring with the alt, personally I'd disconnect at the alt

do they still have that big thermometer on the east side of the 17 just south of Black Canyon

check and see if the oil filter is angled forward, if the alt is on the passenger side its probably just a 3.3 unless the japanese engines are different, I used the accs from a 2000 exterra alt was on drivers side filter angled forward an ps was on the pass side, onl prob was th A/C

dash is out 88 wiring is out, 94 wiring in carpets back in 94 dash tomorrow, it just got too damm hot to finish it this afternoon

started in on the wiring on the white 88, removed the stock wiring as far as the dash, installed the 94 wiring from taillights to dash. carpets out and cleaned, hopefully will finish the wiring and the 94 dash tomorrow

I used the maxima fan on my 88, until I installed the 3.3 then went with the fan that came with the 3.3. not sure if the clutch is any heavier duty but the fan is and the 88 runs just as cool or cooler

my 95 was acting like that I replaced the dist no more probs

nothing like that on either of my 88s, stick or auto or the 94 or 95
