The only common ones that are much different are the ones with double locks. You can see how those are handled here:

Wish we could do that at the shop, it would make working on the rear A/C's a whole lot simpler.

From the location, probably cracked plastic in the heater manifold at the righthand firewall. Very common R51 problem, lots of discussions about it here and in Nico.

That's a very unusual code, it's the opposite of a vacuum leak. The ECM is trying to lean bank1, not rich it. Normally that's an issue with one or more of the injectors, but normally that also means some sort of miss or rough running. Fuel pressure or MAF problems would be affecting both banks. Sinc...

The electronic Throttle Body on late model Nissans makes adding CC much more complicated than the old days when the TB and CC had cables. The only way to implement CC would be to fool the ECM with a "faux" throttle input by interposing hardware in between the pedal and the ECM, then poachi...

The idle Rpm can be bumped up using 3rd party tools like UpRev, higher end scan tools like Autel or a Nissan Consult. But if you’re changing the rpm to make a noise go away sounds you’re just going to mask your real issues. +1, but the OP should first make sure the growl is actually from the compre...

Valeo is one of Nissan's standard vendors for compressors and alternators, but I don't know if it's OE for an R51. The question is, did the clutch die because the compressor locked up and trashed it, or is it just a bad clutch? Ohm through the clutch to ground, most of them draw a couple amps and wi...

Took the opprtunity to plus up all 4 tires and boy does it feel like it woke up the car!
Talk about a cheap "tune up".

I've been telling people for ages that you can even make a '69 DeVille handle with 70 psi in the tires.

no one noticed the 2022 Frontier seats inside of the R51 that bolted right in?

Thought they were aftermarket. Cool indeed if the new Frontier seats are a bolt up!

Sounds like an excellent tool for the price, especially considering the guessing games you sometimes get into with the codes on Nissan evap systems. Pro tip, though -- the best tool for exhaust leaks is a rag over the end of the pipe and an ear under the car. Even pinholes turn into boom-boom-boom. ...

I wonder if he doesn't mean the elbow mat on the center console, that's kinda cute. I have a similar "mouse mat" on the center console of the wife's '13 Altima to let our little dog get traction on the leather, but if you're tall, that raised mat might be a real arm saver. The aftermarket ...

The front and rear evaps are teed "in parallel" with separate expansion valves, so you should just be able to simply cap or pinch the lines to the rear and recharge using the amount for a non-rear system. Because the evaps are parallel, as long as the lines are capped at or past the tees a...
