hi nissparts, my mech said he scanned my '05 amanda and the said camshaft sensor came up (he didnt giv the code) and sqid it cost 15k, i asked whats the effect of this scanner on the vehicle,he said it wont start one hand.when i asked if the vehicle was having hard start he said no..pls is his interpretation of the diagnosis right? also the break light refuses to go off when parked and we just replace the gear system of the electronic drivers seat..dont know if that could be a related cause... |

Hello all you vehicle gurus in the house. Please help a sister out. Is it possible for me to replace my Nissan pathfinder 05 engine with a 2001 engine? The mechanic swears by it and says it would also help with fuel consumption but am not so convinced. Will the engine be able to handle the mechanism of the younger model. The current engine of the 05 is grounded. He says he will the whole system and I wont have anything to worry. Please has anyone heard of this before. Says it will cost me around 550k. Your comments are most appreciated. thanks |

Your comments are most appreciated. Don't even go down that lane, its never gonna be funny. DON'T trust that evil mechanic. Automobiles are precise engineered with much consideration. The 2005 pathfinder have Torque: 291 ft-lbs. @ 4000 rpm Horsepower: 270 hp @ 5600 rpm which comes from a 4.0L V6 with 5speed auto gear which pulls a 4,376ibs/1,984kg RWD or 4,693ibs/2,128.7kg 4WD body. How would you compare a pathfinder 2001 which have Torque: 265 ft-lbs. @ 3200 rpm Horsepower: 240 hp @ 6000 rpm from a 3.5L V6 with 4speed auto gear which pulls a 3975 lbs/1803kgRWD or 4,278 lbs/1,940kg 4WD body. Now from the data I've given above, I don't think the 3.5L v6 of a 2001 pathfinder can sit well inside the engine bay of the 2005 pathfinder. Even if it does, you'll have to battle with all the sensors and ECU, gearbox, and differentials. If you're done, another big challenge comes which is how lazy the car will become, how boring and heavy the body of the 2005 will be on the 3.5L V6 2001 pathfinder, this will cause excessive fuel consumption, premature wear, and in no distant time, will cause engine damage. You also need to think of the huge financial implication of starting such unworthy venture, running and trying to unsuccessfully maintain this scary experiment. DON'T EVEN THINK about it pls. 2 Likes |

HeLlo, I own a 2003 infiniti qx4 4wd 3.5 V6, I need a few maintenance tips from you please, I use the car to travel to kaduna from abuja and back every week, I go at my normal speed at 160-170kmph with air con and I've noticed that its consuming a lot of fuel now, I normally fill up the tank every friday before I hit the road and the fuel guage indicates that I still have over a half tank left in the tank when I arrive at kaduna, but now it shows that I have less than half tank since it started consuming more fuel, so pls hw do I tackle this or what might me the cause? secondly, when is the right time to change the timing belt/chain, the car has 120,000km now and where do I get the timing chain/belt and how do I know if it is the right one for the car?? Lastly, how do I know if I should change the transmission fluid and service it, the car seems to find it difficult before it enters 4th gear. Thanks |

That's less than 100k miles. Even at 120k miles the engine still has a lot of life in it. The VQ engine that you have uses a timing chain and not belt, so you need not be unduly worried about snapping; just ensure that your engine oil is always on gauge. As for the decreased fuel efficiency you've observed, the car probably need tune ups: good new engine filter, plugs, pcv valve, etc. Yes, it's not a bad idea to change the transmission fluid. I believe your car is 4speed transmission, in which case you'd need Nissan Matic D transmission fluid. |

I will need to verify somethings. A camshaft sensor code without hard starting symptoms points to a timing area issue |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by Pluslargent(m): 3:15pm On Sep 14, 2014 |
No its at the garage for now...timing area issue? what could that be again? |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by magictouch: 3:34pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
Hello People, for 3 weeks now my car sometimes refuses to start, I dont know why cos I just serviced it a week and some days ago. it hasnt happened in the morning but afternoon after driving for a while. I went somewhere last week, after spending about 15mins I got into the car and wanted to go but it didnt start, it just kept giving a rolling sound. I tried severally yet no way. I called up the mechanic, he said it was fuel pump which I changed and it started working. 6 days after, I drove the car to a place and parked, by the time I wanted to start the car like 5mins after, it didnt start again. I tried for some minutes without success, then started calling my mechanic, by the time I finally got through to him, it was 2hours after and he said he was far away. So I decided to try again and it started, this was on Saturday and it's been working fine since then. This has happened like 3 time in the last 2 weeks, pls doesnt any one know what could be wrong with the car. Please note that it is not battery as the battery is working perfectly. |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by drumma(m): 5:44pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
Sounds familiar with my accord....... it will keep working fine until u start experiencing it again.... Kick/Ignition/Whatever your car spec uses I think is the problem. :d magictouch: Hello People, |

Hello Team, Please my family had a plan of buying 2005 sienna but has been discouraged by the price a dealer advised(neighbourhood of N1.9M) . We saw a suggestion on-line that Nissan Quest 2002 model can deliver similar utility like that of Sienna, more-so that it's 'thrice' cheaper than Sienna. How tenable is the above ? Many thanks. |

The FX45 is a V8 and definitely it consumes more than the V6.But I have noticed that when I drive the ride hard as in quick movements you use more fuel than when you take it slowly.As for the body structure they are the same. Its a lovely ride and you still get the stares. |

drumma: Sounds familiar with my accord....... it will keep working fine until u start experiencing it again.... Kick/Ignition/Whatever your car spec uses I think is the problem. Well, I had a similar problem with my Infiniti -g20 and kept spending on trial and error technicians. Funny experiences... Packed to make a long call - car won't start. Packed to pick some things in the supermarket - car won't start (my mech got there the following morning, car started on first attempt!) Went to pick my wife's car in her office for a long haul, she closed late to go home, car won't start Etc The solution? A sensor/socket on the gear box (there are two, of which one) had partial contact. Check those out too. Can be very frustrating. Sorry bruv. 1 Like |

Hello, I've encountered a problem with my 2003 infiniti qx4 4WD, it does not rev up to 6000rpm again when I kick my foot down on the throttle and also doesn't accelerate properly. Please what might be the possible cause and how do I fix it? |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by nissparts(m): 1:01am On Sep 23, 2014 |
Scan your car and come back with the codes |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by oneniceguy(m): 8:57am On Sep 25, 2014 |
Hello house, i greet you all. I scanned my 2002 nissan altima and got the following codes: P1065-Powertrain P0031-powertrain HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (bank 1 sensor 1) Please what faults does it point at? Thanks |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by Nobody: 9:15am On Sep 25, 2014 |
oneniceguy: Hello house, i greet you all. For P1065-Powertrain, check the wiring harness connected to your car's ECU and also check the ground/Earth wiring harness for loose ends/ connection, cuts, frays, rust short circuit, breach and naked wire touching themselves or metallic objects etc and amend them. If all doesn't work, your ECU is faulty. P0031-powertrain HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (bank 1 sensor 1) The code means that there is a problem with the heater element circuit of the heated oxygen sensor. Water getting inside the heated oxygen sensor connector can caused the heated oxygen sensor fuse to blow, which is a very common problem for this type codes. Before replacing the sensor, check for the condition of the heated oxygen sensor fuse and connectors. |

I just got a Nigerian used 2004 Nissan Murano today. Please I would like help on these issues. 1. I have changed the engine oil today but the "Check Engine" Light is still on 2. The ABS light is always on 3. I get the smell of burning oil OR hot oil from the AC vents a while after driving with the AC on 3. I would like every necessary advise no matter how little on precautions to take and what I need to do because this is my first time using a murano. Thanks PS: The car drives well and the gear selects well too. |
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by nissparts(m): 11:38pm On Sep 25, 2014 |
Check engine light has nothing to do with changing engine oil (mostly) You need a diagnostic scanner to detect what the check light is coming on for and only a fix would turn it off. Smelling oil through the vents is a bad sign. I hope the engine oil was not overfilled. ABS light also means there is a fault with the braking system. A scanner can also point out exactly where the issue is. I strongly recommend you download the user and service manual for the Murano and learn as much as you can about the vehicle. It does not take kindly to novice errors. |

Hello guys, where can I get high intensity display (HID) fog lights for my FX 35 and the cost? Also where can I get the vehicle scanner for vehicle diagnostics of a 2006 FX 35 (AWD). I need it as a personal toolkit. My low tire warning light has been showing on the dash board for sometime now even after inflating all the tires. On the display, the tire pressure is indicated as 49, 47, **, and 42. Don't knw why the ** is showing for one of the tires. The manual recommends 32 psi but most vulcanizers I have used say they usually inflate the tire to 60 for jeeps. Their guages doesn't have a unit so to be on the safe side I stick with 45. What is the required specification on the local vulcanizer scale for FX 35? |
