| 1427255 | 2016-10-11 18:23:00 | Son thinks I interfere in his life too much. So yesterday I rang and told him he needed to buy this car: 1995 Nissan Pulsar, 86000KM, he got it for $1300. His current Corolla had done 418,000km. Guess I am bossy..... |

| 1427258 | 2016-10-12 00:19:00 | Well, just being helpful. Seems low K's. May have been parked up for a while... I kind of regret it now. We should have bought it instead. It was the stereotype one old lady owner car. (Really too, I did a carjam check to see if they lied) |

However this model does have one fault which probaly has already been fixed with its age and that is the Primera/ Pulsar/Maxima power steering hoses. These hoses along with Isuzu bighorn/MU put my kids through university. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1427261 | 2016-10-12 08:47:00 | I replaced a water pump on my '92 SR20DE Nissan Avenir in 2009. Impeller had corroded, mission that one. Also MAF sensor needed regular cleaning. i think of oil fumes from the pod filter. Then replaced strut bearing, tie rods, distributor. Then the power steering hoses started leaking - had enough- I got rid of it. though parts were cheap and readily available. But I think Nissan refined the engine - i.e. become more stream lined (less bulky)for the 1995 N14 series. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1427262 | 2016-10-12 18:22:00 | What about the power steering hoses? | pctek (84) | ||
| 1427263 | 2016-10-12 20:35:00 | What about the power steering hoses? Or it may have been the pump leaking. But was slowly losing fluid. Worth noting is you can do diagnostics to pull/read fault codes. Need bridge the consul port (under the fuses) with a paper clip/wire and you can see the dash light flash and also the ECU LED flash (at floor level under the console). 55 (read by the number of flashes - (5 slow then 5 fast =55) is the magic number meaning all/most sensor circuits are all good. Explained here... (www.sau.com.au). I use to get the 11 and 12 codes. Replacing the distributor (cam angle sensor) and cleaning the MAF filament with a fast drying spray - can't remember what I used (carb cleaner or brake cleaner) removed those codes. |
