Hmm, seems like someone had the issue before and a bodge was carried to rectify the issue (or at least attempt to rectify it). There is an issue with the timing chains and as far as I can see it was a recall from Nissan. It does suggest that it occurs on hard acceleration (e.g. from a slip-road) and if the chain is slack it can drift away from the timing point by a small fraction (much like a loose timing belt) which can then throw a code for cam/crank timing and result in what you are experiencing. I would personally replace the engine oil and look to see what has come out - e.g. metal particles and then replace it with the specified oil which may have not been supplied with previously. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/engine-oil-12094/nissan/pulsar/pulsar-hatchback-c13/107484-1-2-dig-t If you use a quality oil of the correct specifications (as listed in the link above) and see if that makes any difference to how it runs. If no real difference is noted then I would advise to get the timing chain replaced which will almost certainly make a difference if it is worn

I use a smart screen with Android Auto. Then connect my phone via BlueTooth and use Waze map. Less expensive and live updates of accidents, traffic jams etc.

I had the same problem radio cutting off there is a fee upgrade from nissan now work perfectly it's a common problem

Hello, I am joining this forum with hopes to be able to supply you guys with some hard to come by parts for your beloved Nissans, as the title states we are the second oldest Nissan dealer in the uk and we are looking to move some of our older parts that have been stored away for years. I will be doing a follow up post with our parts list which should have thousands of items for you guys to sift through at your leisure, I just wanted to test the waters to see how helpful this would be for you guys, any responses or comments appreciated. Kind regards, Oscar

Hi all! Im thinking of getting a Pathfinder in the next month or two. Wanted something bigger for going fishing/camping and always loved the look of the Pathfinder. Especially the older shape (07/08 models). Has anyone got a rot free one with upgraded timing chain they are thinking of parting with? Thanks in advance 🤘🏻🙂 Harry

Thanks for your response, after i posted this, I took the car back to the mechanic to have the fault codes checked and none showed up. However, i decided to risk it and drive from Dublin to Longford, during the way for about 10 seconds two seperate time I noticed it struggling continuously and thats when the CEL came on flashing but after I changed speed it smoothed out and the CEL went away immediately. I let it rest for the night, this morning I decided to check for any fitting errors. I found that the air intake duct/snorkel was not properly fitted in the front, so it would've been sucking in the warm air of the engine bay which could cause the engine to struggle under stress. Though as far as I'm aware, this wouldn't cause misfires or CEL but this points towards the previous owner or his mechanic being very rough with their work. (This car has had the internal speakers, headlamps replaced, wiring damaged, connector damaged and incorrectly replaced spark plugs, so someone has been frequently toying with the internals) And this prompted me to check other fittings. The intercooler pipe(?) (image attached below had some issues which I don't know if they could be a clue or not. The right rubber part attaches securely to the middle plastic bit, its nice and tight, however, at the other end of this rubber bit (the far right of the picture, where it would connect to the intercooler) there is a bit of give. I can wiggle it a little. Then the shorter rubber tube (at the left of this image, which goes behind the engine, so I'm guessing connects to the turbo) had slight greasy residue where it connects to the middle plastic bit. Sorry for the word vomit, am I on to something? How did the mechanic even miss that the air intake duct wasn't seated correctly, and surely if they just ran their hand along the rubber tubing here they would've noticed the grease.

Not on late models as it an EU requirement as I understand it. Mine is set up with a shortcut to turn audio warning off by pressing control switch and Okay.

hi Because I am very happy owner of Nissan Cima 2010 VIP model I imported another Nissan ..now classic 1994(late model from September) very rare with Automatic ACTSUS system. and here is a little clip with my Nissan.

Here is How its look: here is small clip with my BEAUTY NISSAN

So, here's the saga. Offside Drum collapsed inside, my fault- long story. Anyway, new drums, studs, bearings, shoes, spring kit purchased, but could I find an ABS ring for the pixo anywhere? Nope! Eventually, Vertu Nissan offered me 2 rings for £201!!! Bought 2 used drums, cleaned/painted and fitted. ABS light turned off 👍 Moral of the story: Parts like this are becoming very difficult to get. Also, does anyone have any ABS rings? I have 2 brand new drums, with new bearings pressed in and ready to. They'll need the fings fitted, obviously. You can have them both for £50 plus whatever the p&p will be Tony

i would say its a case for the ombudsmen and certainly run it past citizens advice to get some more guidance on pursuing a claim If unsuccesful then a secondhand engine (with the revised cooling system parts) may be the most financially advisable way forwards

I had the 1 litre engine in my last Juke. Its turbocharged so there is no loss of power. I now have a 1.6 Hybrid which is more cost effective especially around urban areas.

Hi , have just joined so I can find out more about my 1991 Nissan Coupe. Its an import but would love to know if any others exist in the UK? Or indeed Europe .Nissan CoupeNissan Coupe Hope the link works but if not its in Yellow Pearl and is the same as that in the Nissan Heritage museum. Thanks in anticipation

I owned a couple of Quashqais through 2010 - 2016 then switched to Toyota for hybrid drive. I went back to Nissan in December 2024 and purchased a Juke Hybrid. I'm happy with the high and safe-feeling drive of the car but a bit disenchanted with some features I find irritating. In particular the Nissan Connect Data Transmission screen which requires accept or decline every time I start up. Nobody seems to have found a way to disable this. Lots of audible warnings - though I sense most new cars have this now. Anyway, I look forward to putting a few miles on the clock this year. Happy to be here and I'll keep an eye out for useful tips.

Hi Mike, I have a completely stock 350z for sale. Are you still on the search for a well maintained one? thanks, Fred.

Still got the Juke. 5 weeks in now and coming around to about 1k of driving. Best mpg I have managed is 54, Getting about 40 around the town. Should be getting my car back on the 10th unless they hit another snag.

The NOX sensor B is measuring against NOX sensor A (B is usually behind A in the exhaust system) and if there is an exhaust leak then this could cause the issue

Hi, I’ve recently purchased my Qashqai and was wondering if anybody else has been using one of these for towing? would really like to speak with like minded people who have towed with a car like mine. cheers jon.

I have a 2020 Marano with this very same issue. I keep taking it to the dealership telling them about it. They say there is debris in the tracks. We either keep it covered or in the garage. I do not park under trees. I don’t know what kind of debris they are talking about, I have noticed everything under the driver seat is rusted when I pointed that out to the dealership they told me it must’ve been up north for an extended time or near the coast neither of which is the case we have not been out of town to those areas. I put in a complaint with Nissan directly and I got some hateful woman who called me and said I’m denied because my car is out of warranty however I’ve been going with this problem since we bought it. I now realize that they never intend to help us. It’s terrible what it is doing to the inside of my car, I’d like to know what anyone might have done to get Nissan to take notice of this design flaw has anyone found a fix?

Sounds like the Tire sensor has gone bad

Hi folks Could anyone please tell me where we fill up the transmission fluid. Plus where to buy a van manual, has anyone converted this type of Nissan into a motor home? Any issues with rust around the roof line? And whats a good fix? Cheers Oliver

Hi Trevor ... thanks for your kind remarks! Yes, a month of ownership and no real disasters (yet 🤣) .... the keyless entry works 100% of the time but the keyless start is a bit erratic, often resulting in the emergency key being used .... I've replaced the batteries in the fobs and used WD 40 in the barrel .. but problem still exists ... any clues? .... also the replaced the front sidelight bulbs with LED bulbs and the nearside blows almost instantly ... mystery indeed! Cheers Steve

Hi Im in the Southend on sea area and sadly selling my Nissan Serena cvt. 2004. 174,854 miles, 1990cc automatic 7 seat mini van. This van is well used, scrapes on bumpers tatty wheel covers some paint missing from the side mirrors. Interior is stil in a reasonable condition. Main issues that need attention is the right hand lower suspension arm needs replacing and the automatic side door motor also needs replacing ( wasn’t working when I bought it) tires are brand new and has mot till October. Condition apart from suspension arm is how I purchased it. Engine runs lovely still. Selling as no longer need a big car. £1200 ono

Hi Trevor, thanks for the info. I'm going to be replacing the transfer box sensors shortly so I'll take a look whilst I'm under there. Im not 100% sure what I'm doing but trying hard to get the car operational asap. I've tried everything I can think of so far and still no dice. I appreciate the thinking and will let you know how I get on

You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold

I swapped the cluster this weekend. Also took the opportunity to replace the crappy OEM-radio with a Bluetooth one. Used a 1-din dashkit for that, looks quite alright actually. Nothing needs to be done to enable the replacement cluster. It’s plug and play. The mileage is stored in the cluster, so make sure you install one with slightly higher mileage than what you have as to not get into any odometer issues during the next MOT. I swapped my faulty 179k cluster with disabled check engine light for a unmolested one with 185k on it. Paid 40 bucks for it at a local junk yard. Those extra 6k in mileage won’t hurt the (non-existent) resale value anyway.

Thanks - I'll give the jubilee clip a shot and see if that tells me anything. It's at the garage today for service/mot so have asked them to check it out too.

hi I a;ready bought 2 adapters - for radio and for TV but where to install them? no idea where tv and radio amplifier are ..8-) atm has changed some things.. on the bonnet is the "proper" emblem - not lying but standing- and I should finish - maybe today adding a SECOND sound system with modern radio and another set of speakers. Because inside is a very complicated Bosse system and no1 in Bristol wanted to work with my Nissan I decided to put inside the second system..So I will have all the modern tools like Bloototh, wi-fi and of course Uk radio with normal frequency. I will post some pictures when I finish it completely and here are the pictures

Hi thanks for your reply I'm confident the other switches are ok as the interior light now comes on which ever door I open so I assume there working.

Hello there im searching for a 1990 sunny coupe gti rear spoiler, hope somewhan can help me find one or hase one for sale.

Thanks for the warm welcome Trevor. it was indeed as you described, a clip down by the gear selector arm in the engine bay. i found a clip down there obstructing the movement (it fell off the air filter box). i then moved the gear linkage arm around a bit and made sure everything was connected and moving in the right way and it seemed to fix it. silly really, but sometimes, that's just how it goes hahah

Hi all thought I’d drop in before placing my first post in the hope you can help

Hi Tim....welcome to the Club I really like the Murano, think they should have stuck with that shape for other model designs Feel free to jump in answering any questions (especially about Nissan parts) if you would like to? Good to have you onboard!

Welcome to the Club

Have now bought a Qashqai e-power which is great but can anyone tell me why the power lever when pushed forward mades the car go backwards and when pushed back the car goes forward? I am only a simple sailor ( retired Marine Engineer) but it has me baffled..... Davidpincombe

SOLVED. Thank you very much. Nissan Ukraine were able to supply the certificate - quickly and without a fee. It is needed in order to complete the form to register the car in the UK. Thank you again. Springnuts.

It may be that the previous owner had the function switched off You could ask the dealer to reinstall the function via the scan tool but this would cost Chances are it has LED lighting, if not then I would fit a bulb with a reverse beeper built in https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=reverse+light+bulb+with+beeper&_sacat=131090

We bought a nearly new Tekna 1.3 after a previous diesel Qashqai. . It was £27,000 NEW in 2018 We had problems with the child lock engaging when driving and unable to disengage. This was erratic and they replaced one under the warranty but as they couldn't witness the other one, they refused to repair. Eventually, we had to take a video when it (inevitably) occurred again and they agreed to fix it. We have recently had gear change problems when we try and change gear in the lower gears. We tried Nissan but they can't see us for two weeks so as it's out of warranty, we took it to our local garage who believe it is the slave cylinder and will immediately repair. It also takes a lot of revs to release the autobrake leading to dangerous situations driving off. But it only has 35,000 miles on it and we've NEVER had an issue with any other car like this so early on. As the original poster said, we haven't suddenly changed how we use the gears. And our VW which we have from new in 2017 still has lovely smooth gear changes. It seems Nissan are going the way of Peugeot and instead of producing good cars are now producing bad ones. This will be our last Nissan. 😟

I've had a reply from Glyn Hopkin: https://video.citnow.com/vtNMwr0bg1j As I said to the salesman: "And I was supposed to know that because.....?"

Hi Trevor, blasting didn't work so took it to the local Nissan Dealership. They identified a problem with the Ad-blue system and replaced the tank and pump on warranty. Did a great job. 👍

I must’ve hit the kerb hard and knocked the back wheel out of place. Kwik Fit re-aligned the wheel and the message has disappeared. I will book it in at Nissan to check, because the wheel isn’t fully straight.

We have a Juke in the family and the clutch is also quite lively and takes a few more revs to keep things smooth when pulling away

Hi Luke.....welcome to the Club I would say you are correct that it is the antenna and as far as I am aware it would not need coding to the vehicle as it does not generate or hold the immobilise code (the ECU would have that information) it simply amplifies the signal from the immobiliser chip in the key fob

Hi is anyone able to advise where I can get oem Gt edition side decals? Like eBay and other places online advertising 370 accessories these decals they offer just seem to be Ali express stuff and the decals do not fit,the writing is to long,I expected maybe poorer quality but not the actual writing itself to be the wrong size lol. Thanks in advance for any replies.

told by nissan secure code is due to wrong code being put in radio quoted me £100 to remove then thay send it to france 6-8 weeks to decode and recode price depends on what they find so i found a way to repaire my self has my cd was the problem i got a replacement radio must be the same part no i took both apart swaped the cd unit over as code chip is in the radio replaced my own radio with doner cd job done works as it should again

Yes Trevor we will there is a place and they have different lengths I'll find the web site over weekend

You will need to take it on a long run (say around 20 miles or so) at a moderate speed but at high revs (not 5th or 6th gear) so that the pressure builds up to break up the collection of soot in both the EGR and DPF. Try to keep the speed and revs constant so motorway is probably best and later in the evening. Keep any eye on the engine temperature but it will go slightly higher whilst trying to purge the EGR/DPF. Also, it may be accompanied by a burning smell but this is part of the process. After you finish the run, allow the engine to cool down for a period. I would aim to give the car a run at least once a week to ensure the engine does not clog up in the future

Hi just thought I’d introduce myself, I’m Steve from the north east of England. I have recently pruchased a Nissan sunny coupe 1.6 GSX 1990. I work at Nissan as well as a panel repairer. nice to meet you all 😊

After several years of absence it feels good to be back behind the wheel of a Nissan automobile. Thanks alot for the acceptance into the club and I look forward to many great memories !

Hi....welcome to the Club Two things come to mind... 1. Crankshaft Sensor which looks for rotation of the crankshaft which will signal the Engine Management System (EMS) and give the command to fuel and spark dependent on engine speed. If this is faulty (usually when hot and the resistance changes) then this can cut the engine and start when cooled down. 2. Throttle Body adaptation which is adjustable using a scan tool. A lot of times this comes down to carbon build up and benefits from cleaning which gives a constant smooth idle speed A scan of the EMS should give stored fault codes which lead to a more precise diagnosis Let us know how you get on with it all
