Re: Where under the hood is the heater inlet pipe?

Your part number is different because the design of the V8 heater pipes is different than the V6, but it still uses the same type of plastic parts that are prone to getting brittle and breaking over time.

Re: Where under the hood is the heater inlet pipe?

Isn't there an improved aftermarket part somewhere I can put on to get put on? Or they only made improved part for the V6? So for my V8, I need to order 92408-ZS20A and have that installed? Well, the V6 is different in that the inlet and outlet sides are two different pieces. Also, there are "...

Re: Final Summary of all the work + new parts on my '08 V8

It's not the heater hose that you have to worry about, but the plastic section of the heater pipes that tend to leak or break.

Re: The Price of Gas

I actually got to see it or one of them. I'm not sure how many they made? In 2003, I made Master Tech and at the last minute, Nissan decided to bring back the Master Tech event in Las Vegas after cancelling it for several years. They gave me two airplane tickets and $300 and a room at the newly buil...

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

Yeah, you don't need to lose any sleep about those. They are just dust seals; I believe the round rings in Fel-pro kit # TCS45834 are what go there. If you want, you can just run a small bead of RTV silicone gasket maker and let it harden up. If you didn't do anything and just installed it as is, it...

Re: Where under the hood is the heater inlet pipe?

If you look at where the heater core pipes exit the firewall on the passenger side of the engine compartment, the inlet side is on the passenger side and the outlet side is on the driver's side of the two pipe extensions. It's kind of a moot point, because the heater pipe is sold as an assembly with...

Vstar, do you remember the hydrogen fuel cell Xterra prototype from years ago? I can't believe it's been a decade since then!

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

Yeah, that's pretty bad! Not sure why it is, but the aftermarket bypass hoses have a more gradual 90 degree curve whereas the Nissan hose is a sharper bend. It's hard to get the aftermarkets to fit sometimes, so it's just better to get the Nissan hose. I spray the inside with silicone spray to help ...

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

You might try using some emery cloth to clean up the end of the camshaft before you install the seal. Since you have the rear timing belt cover removed, it's also a good time to replace the coolant bypass hose behind it, but if you do, get the hose from Nissan as the aftermarket's just don't seem to...

Re: Cam Shaft Seal Grooves - Please give advice!

I know of the seals you are talking about but I'm not aware of any for the Nissan VG engine. As far as the Redi-sleeve, the ones I've used required removing the camshaft from the cylinder head to install, but that was a very long time ago and maybe they're updated the design since then?

Re: Bulb for shift indicator

The bulb # is 2723 or Nissan # 96942-EA600. Sylvania 2723 is sold in most auto parts stores as a twin-pack for $5.99. The Nissan 96942-EA600 costs about twice that, but it includes the socket with wiring and terminal pins as an assembly; you have to remove the wires from the harness plug and then in...

Re: Oil leak = Tune Up Time

Fortunately, the valve covers for the 4.0L aren't that expensive. I got over 225K miles on my two R51's and they haven't leaked, so far...knock on wood! So, it's common enough that we know about them, but nothing lasts forever!
