You can still buy universal curb feelers: https://www.amazon.com/United-Pacific-Industries-70203-Chrome/dp/B007IWTTO6 I'm actually sort of surprised that more people don't use them, with the popularity of very low profile tires on expensive alloy rims. It's true that a wider tire will squat more and...

I agree. They basically turned the regular Patrol into a 6-cyl Armada (Armadillo?), but the Safari is a different story. That's a beast. I know a lot of guys who would buy one in a heartbeat if they brought it here.

You're most welcome, happy to help.

Never buy those sorts of parts by Make-Model-Year, that's a fool's errand. Go here... https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/ ...and enter your VIN number into the system. NPD is a consortium of Nissan dealers and they have the same database and drawings as any dealer. Entering the VIN will only show you t...

They're already marketing a new Navarra-based X in the Middle East, IMHO it looks kind of like a Frontier and a Rogue had a baby: https://www.nissan-me.com/vehicles/new/x-terra.html Scuttlebutt is that something will be in the US in 2025. In the ME the only available powerplant is a 2.5L L4 (I presu...

I believe you're looking for a 64838-3JA0A. For some indecipherable reason, the parts catalog always puts those in the hood ledge diagram and not with the inner fender:

One thing I would recommend replacing while the front cover is off is the oil galley cover plate gasket on the front of the rear timing cover. Z1 Off-road sells a kit with improved gaskets and new bolts. The cover gaskets tend to blow-out on these engines and cause low oil pressure at idle and can ...

Replacing the water pump along with the chains is a good idea on any VQ. The job is doable but difficult with the engine in. The rear cover is an engine-out job but isn't necessary just to replace chains. The rocker covers do need to come off for chain replacement, and on a '13 new ones and a fresh ...

I can't speak to the mechanical aspect, but if it does fit in the hole then it should work fine. Electrically they're identical.

I've never seen one jump if there were no oil problems in the cover and it was dry-cranked first. Watch your oil pressure on a scanner and keep dry-cranking for 15~20 seconds after it maxes out. Then install the fuse and let it fire.

My Mistake!!

This fella found it in a Nissan Frontier, but it's my mistake.

Not the PNP, it's the stop lamp switch. Claims no codes, etc. Broken tail lamp.

Some (but not all) of the conventional tranny TCM's do the same thing. That guy's Frontier is evidently one of them.

VStar650CL

It's not the PNP, it's that the TCM's on all CVT Nissans look at the brake lamps and positively refuse to accelerate if they think the brakes are applied. The Versa bubble cars, which are infamous for crappy taillamps, actually throw a code over it if the reverse and brake circuits get crossed by mo...

Welcome!

Love the username, I'm a Jersey boy that wound up in Arkansas myself. I'm officially a "damn Yankee" and not "just a Yankee", I'm never going home. The lack of salt is the least of it.

That sounds entirely possible. For years Nissan had a relationship with Kent Moore for special tools of all sorts, but then KM got bought up by SPX and SPX got bought up by Bosch, and who knows who makes anything anymore. The only guys I know about who are still independent are Midtronics, they make...

Maybe they don't want Emperor Trudeau getting his hands on Nissan tools....

Hmmm, or come to think of it, maybe he already banned them....
