  1. The rear window regulators tend to break, listen for the motor running when you operate the switch. Mine were locked in the upper position using screws and didn't find out till I pulled off the door panels.Hardest part of doing the timing belt is removing the crank pulley. Not sure a dealership is the best for your lock problem. To expensive. Maybe a mobile locksmith? Maybe pulling the front door panels and checking the linkage between the lock cylinder and latch.

  2. If it had them they would have been mounted under the bumper. Also you would have a switch on the left side of the dash. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  3. I've been wondering if anyone has successfully swapped a MAF, the stock ones on the 3.0 are tiny compared to the ones on the 3.3 engines. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  4. Check power and ground at the coils. Should be red power and black ground. If no power check the fuses. If fuses ok check the relay Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  5. At that point I would dive into the service manual (you can download it) and cover the basics. Check power and ground at a coil (if one has it they all should ). If that's OK the service manual likely will tell you to check continuity on the signal wire between the ecm and each coil. Which likely is fine. While your at the ecm check power and ground. But if you can use a scanner and read data they are likely ok. Check for start/crank signal while cranking it if your scanner has that capability. If you have a add on alarm system remove it. Just my 2 cents, that's what I would do if I had it in my shop. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  6. Like 5523 said, possible NATS/ key issue, there is a little led light for the alarm that will be on solid. Will set coded p1615 or p1610. If that's not it I would pull out a spark plug and check it for being fuel soaked. If it's soaked and has spark it's flooded. You'll have to remove all the coils and plugs and let the cylinders dry out. (FYI if it is fuel soaked /flooded don't crank it with the coils plugged in or you're going to have a bad day) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  7. Yes, the parts guy needs to look closer at the options available. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  8. Not sure the year you have but the 86 to 95 have different threads left to right. Outer tie rod ends have a left and right hand thread. The inner are the same. As an example (don't quote me on the exact placement of the tie rods) the left inner and right outer would be the same. And the right inner and left outer would be the same (noting this as an example only!). I ran into this issue with autozone when installing a grassroots centerlink and having to swap my inner tie rods to a large taper style. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  9. Go on amazon and get Rancho, there about 50 each and free shipping. I'll get you part numbers for the 3 inch longer tonight when I get home. I also have a full set of KYB that have about 6k mi. On them that u just took off mine if you just need something. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  10. Where would you get a remapped ecu? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  11. I'm with Adamzan, take it back. Have them fix it right. That was a common mistake but the shop that replaced the oil pan needs to correct their error. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  12. Ahhaaa, didn't think of that. Very good point. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  13. Typically if a fuse was the issue it would not be an intermittent issue,it would all the time. Nissan schematics are kind of odd, the only power source for the starter solenoid I can see would be through the ignition switch, getting power from a fusible link at the battery, which is why I'm wondering if he has an interlock switch . That adds a little more to look at in the schematic. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  14. Interlock switch and relay to clarify for a manual trans US vehicle. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  15. Do you have a interlock switch on your dash? The schematic doesn't specify. It only shows signal to the starter solenoid directly from the ignition switch. I've ignition switches go bad in same year maximas. I've found the best way to check that is to wiggle the key back and forth when it is turned to the start/crank position, if it starts to crank it indicates poor contact internal the ignition switch. If it's the starter motor smacking it with a hammer and a long extension while having a buddy try to crank. If it starts turning it after smacking it that points to the starter motor or solenoid. But be really careful to not arc out the battery cables at the solenoid. That's about the best I can tell you. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  16. From what I'm seeing your vehicle does not have one. Manual trans is the interlock switch. Auto trans is the inhibitor switch. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

  18. That is odd. I'm curious to look at the service manual when I get to work tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  19. Maybe because of the difference in years? Mine is a 90 with a 5 speed manual. Is yours a automatic? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  20. Blue one in the middle with the two connector plugs. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  21. Most cars come with one for emissions testing and inspection. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  22. My first thought was a wheel cylinder. Wasn't sure if you had a drum brake model. Being you just had brakes done and now your losing fluid, I would look under the rear at the backing plates and see if anything is wet around the wheel cylinder or bottom of the plate. If they are leaking and your losing that much fluid you should see something. The oil on the right front frame rail likely is from the power steering return hose or radiator /cooler like the others mentioned. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  23. Love those old broncos, wish I had one. I think maybe you took my post out of context. To produce the horse power and torque numbers you want from a vg30 I'm not sure is possible with a naturally aspirated engine. Seems that the best way to go with our older pathfinders is a vg33 swap. I am curious if with a more aggressive cam, higher compression, remapped ecm, and maybe some port work on the heads what kind of numbers could be achieved. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  24. The vg30de is a dual overhead cam engine. Although it shares the vg designation it's a different beast. Keep in mind that 4wd vehicles benefit more from torque than horsepower. For me the question is how can I get more torque from this little engine? Other than doing a vg33 swap. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
  25. I've never had to replace rear suspension bushings on a WD21 in the 10 years working at a Nissan dealer, r50's all the time for some reason. After replacing all of my shocks that was the first thing that came to mind was the rear bushings. It was after a quick trip offroading that I realized that after airing down my tires that the wobble was gone, after driving it for a couple weeks at a tire pressure of 26 psi never had it happen again until I put the pressure back to 40 psi. I do realize that wear and tear is dependent on the geographic region you reside. Out here seems to destroy anything that is rubber. Still haven't replaced my rear bushings, it's on the "to do" list. However I agree that closely inspecting the rear link bushings should be the first step in isolating this type of problem. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
