I have yet to see a R50 with perfect window moldings.... There in a spot where water and (where ever used) road salt will just sit. Not sure where you would find aftermarket... Nissan replacements i'm sure are available... As for the GPS they never came as an option on R50's (to the best of my knowl...

I replaced the 2 front sway bar link and the 2 front sway bar bushings. For the moment I thought I solve the problem but the noise is still there. Please help... any Idea where I might come from. I checked the Lower Control Arm but the bushings are intact. The Ball joints seem ok. Check your upper ...

My first thought was the fans not kicking on, but you ruled that out. My next thought is you have an air bubble in the radiator, presumably from the radiator repair, causing a random blockage. I don't know the exact procedure for our vehicles, but you might research "burping" the coolant....

Pull out your fan switch... Fairly common problem... There are 2 main power feeds into the switch. One will get hot and melt the internals of the switch if the fan has been run on low speeds most of its life...

I had the same problem. Replaced the switch with a new one and problem solved!

Re: mpg DROPPED

I've read the stuff that people have suggested to get better mpg, but I'm a little curious if that would do any good since I just had a fuel system/injector service done this past spring. I have 62k miles on it, and I run premium in it all the time. I was getting just under 18mpg, and each fill up ...

Running premium gas can also drop your mileage. The higher the octane rating the harder it is to burn. I use regular old 87 and I get around 19 mpg around town. That only applies if your vehicle requires 87... If it calls for 91 thats where your going to get the best performance/millage... The VQ35...

It is an expensive fix ($700–1,400) repair due to faulty control arm bushings. A Polyurethane after-market bushing replacemen...

Take a look at the control valve that allows the coolant to flow into the heater core... It may be stuck closed. Also take a look at your cables from the control on the dash, might be a broken or loose cable. try that, those are the simplest things to start with. :D
