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

New to pathfinders. After doing some light modifications for a bit of off road use and was wondering what stealth winches people are using. Would like to keep the original bumper. Any guides about. Tia

used to see this with black electrical tape. does the job.

I would normally agree with you regarding the engine being run in but if a previous owner just took it to the shops once a week or crawled through traffic in urban areas the engine would not necessarily be run in correctly (many diesel engines with high mileage can be stripped down and still find the honing marks scored into the bores....suggesting that the engine has not been run in correctly). I have torn down engines with just 21k miles and found the bores to be completely worn but equally I have found engines with over 100k miles to still be as fresh as the day it was built. It all depends on how it has been driven. Another example is a BMW R1200GS motorbike I had for many years. When I bought it, it was consuming quite a lot of engine oil, I changed the grade but it didn't like it (just yet). The bike had only covered 24k miles but it was sluggish and didn't respond as it should. I rode the bike hard (as it should be ridden) with high revs in each gear and eventually it was a completely different bike. No longer did it consume oil but I could happily change the oil grade accordingly. The long and short of it is that it was not run in correctly and I managed to change that by riding it hard for a period of time. Most diesel engines are not revved hard enough to burn off carbon (which could be gumming up the rings into the piston and not sealing in the cylinder efficiently, blocked EGR, blocked DPF, etc. All they usually need is an 'Italian Tune-up' to keep it all clean. Moral of this lengthy reply is - if it is consuming oil between services then I would consider that my theory is correct. Also try a cylinder leak-down test which will show exactly which cylinder or valves have pressure leaking past them. Very easy test with visible and audible results

thanks admin. I'll take some pics, and post later. Any views on the 1.2 engines?

Just taking a sec to say Hello, Just bought a Nissan Micra K12 1.2 2008 for my daughter.

Hi all new to the group just wanted go introduce myself. I’m Adam and I’m in North Yorkshire I have a 02 Nissan 350z that I was recently given by my dad as it’s been sat for 2yrs. it had a little work done before it got parked up but it still needs a bit of love. tell me what you think.

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.

I had 3 Datsun Sunnys. Two Micra's and now own a Bluebird that i reluenctly want to sell

Possibly but the more I have driven it the more annoying all the bings and bongs have become. It maybe just that it is a rental but the radio is frankly crap. Can't find stations or when it does won't follow them on long journeys as frequencies change. This is true on the FM and DAB. The SatNav isn't interactive unlike my Kia so no notice of traffic, roadworks or road closures. The speed monitoring is pretty up and down with it registering the wrong speed limit about 50% of the time resulting in more bings and bongs it it thinks the limit is lower than it really is. These are irritations because I like the higher driving position and the vision. The seats are comfy and plenty of room for a car of it's size. Getting up to about 1200 miles now. My car is still in dock. When I get it back I shall be looking for a replacement. The Juke will be on the list to look at but I would need an HeV.

Thanks for that Trevor. I have now stripped it all down to basics and confirmed that: there is definitely full voltage on some of the connector pins, that the linkages are moving nicely (a touch of oil helped) and the motor is not interested in doing anything (not even with the linkages disconnected). I have now ordered a motor which I should get by Sunday.... I will let you know how it goes. Many thanks, Dave

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.

Yes correct! replaced the battery - all sorted - never seen a car react like that just for low battery - weird!

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.

Will check Will check

Hi all Just popped in to say hello from Kingston upon Hull. About to purchase my first Nissan. A 1.0 DIG-T 117 N-Sport 2019. After having issues with Ford. Hopefully, i have chosen wisely.

Merry Christmas all..pick up a 1990 Silvia project recently..will be looking help info as project progress..thanks all..

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

Definitely do a fuel filter change and see how it goes then.....keep us updated

I am a newbie here and have a '85 300ZX (see pic) that I am trying to find maintenance for in San Antonio,TX. I would like to find a reliable maintenance shop for regular support as well as when it needs more in-depth attention. Does anyone have a suggestion or two? Thanks.

Hi all I own a Note Acenta 1.4, no where near fast but very practical and probably one of the best cars I have ever owned

Okay, I did what I should've done before posting a question, and checked the technical manual. It seems getting the cluster out is straight forward. Remove radio, remove temperature controls, remove cluster panel and then remove the gauge cluster. Nissan calls it a "combination meter" for whatever reason. I've attached the relevant page here if someone else comes across this topic in the future. I haven't found where mileage is stored, but I'm assuming in the cluster itself. I'm gonna order one with similar mileage. If mileage turns out to be recorded somewhere else that would be a bonus, but if not a few extra thousand miles on the odometer won't hurt and won't set off any alarm bells during the next MOT.

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.

Hi thanks for your reply I really thought I'd cracked it I realised that the interior light wasn't coming on when the rear passenger door was open nor did it show up as open on the dashboard so I unscrewed the switch and found the wire was broken down at the bottom near the seat anywayni joined the wire back up the interior light works as it should now and it also shows up as open on the dashboard but the lights are still flashing

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

Welcome to the Club

Hi all. Merry Christmas. Got my new Qashqai 1.5 Tekna e-power on 17/12/22. loving my new car.

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.....?"

Nissan fixed it under warranty.

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. 👍

Well this is its " I've saved it from the previous owner" look lol. But there are a few bits needed to get it how I want it

Hi all Recently bought a Murano 2.5 petrol Z51 Engine 2009. Looking forward to picking some brains here and sharing my knowledge too. I live in Auckland and have bought a Japanese import, very common here. It's a great car but am sure I'll have some questions soon! Cheers Nick

Thanks for your advice Trevor. ill take a look.

Hi I am chris I got nissan qashqai 2014 1.5dci have had it for 3 years red have done some mods on it great car love it best car I have in a long while do most of my own work on it also

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.

Hi there I have a 1988 nissan bluebird lx 1.6 for sale. The car has been garaged for the last 31 years (up to January 2021) and is mot'd until November 2022. I've been passed this vehicle from my gran who looked after it very well but she no longer drives. I'm looking to sell at around £1300/£1400 but will consider any sensible offers in this region. Photos attached. Please contact me on 07837 232737 or by email at lawrence.cormacey@gmail.com

Hi All, I naively bought a 1.6 16 plate Tekna Juke Diesel (55k Mileage) May of last year for what I thought I would need to commute to work, however working from home meant I did not need to do that. I live in the city and don't travel very often and so I've had problems with needing a new DPF , and now a clogged EGR valve and sensor, requiring a new one. Which has cost me alot of money i'd rather not spend if possible to avoid. This was my first proper car so was unaware that short distance/city driving is not ideal for a Diesel and the build up is likely my start/stop driving and short distance journeys. I've read that taking it out on the motorway every now and then is required to get it heated up and clear the carbon or whatever out from there, but can't find a rough estimate of time frame so was looking for some advice on that. TLDR: How often would you recommend taking it out to get it to high rev/high speed/high heat to keep the DPF and EGR clean? Weekly? Fortnightly? Monthly? Please also feel free to correct me if what i've read is inaccurate. Thanks

Thinking of selling my 1996 Nissan QX 3ltr SEL. Any idea as to what price I should ask? Thanks Mike

Thanks Trevor I'll have a look

You are not a nissan dealer are you?

Hi, not had chance to really look yet, what with work and crappy weather, will post when I do, thanks m8

Hi guys I'm new to the group hoping to buy a 2018 nissan micra 1.5dci with 18k on the clock... im abit unsure if I should buy it as I only seem to find negative reviews. I was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences with the micra. How reliable are they? What are the common faults etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Luke
