Re: Calling VStar650 or other engine Gurus

The VVEL on your engine controls the intake valves, but the exhaust still uses traditional hydraulic phasers (EVT). Nissan phasers in general are fairly sensitive to viscosity, and IVT/EVT codes are pretty common in cold weather when people use very thick oil. I think the thickest any recent domest...

Re: Calling VStar650 or other engine Gurus

I assume this is your new Armadillo we're talking about. The half quart over isn't any big worry on a VK, but the 5W40 will void your engine warranty and is likely to cause EVT codes in cold weather. Yes. Thanks for the quick reply :) I was kinda worried about that what it would do if I was half a ...

Calling VStar650 or other engine Gurus

Sooo... Just had my first oil change in Germany on my bearly brand new vehicle. VK56VD motor. I gave it a 1000 mile oil change with 0w-20 and now 4000 miles later with 5w-40 which will likely remain its lifetime fill. They were not used to the VK56VD though and may have overfilled it. They charged m...

Re: 97 Pathfinder SE O2 Question

jetsretam,

I am sorry no one has gotten to your question yet. The folks who can help with R50 are getting fewer every year. :|

Re: SIEMED Fog Lights - I like them

Well Finally replaced my fog lights. I know this thread is old but, wanted to chime in for future users. These bulbs are a fantastic fitment to the Pathfinder and certainly light up the road way better. I had a Fog light go out and instead of just putting a bulb in the old, rock pitted fixture, I d...

Re: SIEMED Fog Lights - I like them

Lots of choices here. We just came back from a 1200 KM road trip driving through the hills. My 24" LED Light bar was such a savior, no need for highbeams when you have one of these! I would love to upgrade, my fog lights as the housings are pretty foggy from all the rock chips. Those SIEMD one...

Thanks for the input. I ended up trying a magnet and voila! You have to play around with the placement of the magnet but once you find it, the needle just spins back around like magic! And it’s working good as new.
I am real happy to hear it also!

Re: Installing OEM Skid Plates

Hi everyone, This is indeed a really old thread, but if anyone is still interested in installing these skid plates, the OEM Nissan Engine Skid Plate and OEM Nissan Transfer Case Skid Plate are still available at Z1 Offroad (and on eBay). I just bought both on Thursday and they arrived today via Fed...

Re: New Valve Covers

I finally changed out my Valve covers at 252,000 miles. I had quite a bit of leakage. There was enough to cause my alternator to burn out due to the amount of oil dripping on it. Here are links to the Driver side and driver side covers. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kiZLV-Dt3izT5RR6s-PpNGpU09P6E...
