Stabiliser?

I'm a noob so bear with me. A guy I'm about to buy a car off says the stabiliser needs to be replaced, his best explanation was that "when you turn the key, electrics go through this thing" and that if you drive the car for like an hour, the engine might stop and you might not be able to start it again. He said it's below the airbox and it's like a fuse type thing ... the airbox is standard and the car is a 33 GTS-T ... what he's saying makes no sense whatsoever to me?

ANY help would be really appreciated thanks!

ships have to replace 'stabilisers' all the time - after hitting sunfish, coral reefs and such

He's having a lend of you right?

It's not one of these skyhooks jokes is it... or L-handed screwdrivers... perhaps, a polariser?

A fuse-type-thing (that the guy & you mentioned) would have a wire

The Airflow Meter has a wire

This often plays up and will need to be replaced or very carefully cleaned

Got a pic?

Even if it is the AFM, and needs to be replaced/cleaned, it's essential that you don't get gunk on it in the future eg. oil that's sprayed on pods

There are topics on this via 'Search'

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
