Is this the successor to the terrano II? it looks like a small suv like the dualis, have nissan sorted out these issues with the juke?

Nissan is recalling 28,294 2011 Juke models to fix a sensor bracket that may separate from an air inlet tube. The vehicle may go into "fail safe" model and the warning light will turn on. If a driver continues to operate the vehicle, it may stall during idling and in rare cases may not restart.Nissan said its testing over the last year in the U.S. showed that the vehicle would not stall without warning at higher than idling speeds. But Nissan said it has seen recent incidents in foreign countries of vehicles stalling without first going into "fail safe" mode. In those cases, the vehicles couldn't be restarted. Dealers will replace the air inlet tube if necessary. The vehicles were built between April 2010 and May 2011.

cost though- think about it. whilst I understand what you are trying to do have a look at the Z11 market. these things are still sitting in lots at $15k and from my understanding are a bit hard to move.

I can't see a $20-25K juke going anywhere fast myself. if the mainstream guys (and the ones we have in common) get them then its going to be a minefield trying to find one thats straight and not wet.

seems someone has a different idea in brissy. I saw a early toyota Will V putting around today with a trade plate on it . I think gearing was driving it.

Yeah but you're old and you don't get that young people like Jukes :P

I've got someone in Sydney prepared to drop folding on the test car and pay for all the testing too. Like most newer cars, they may not be a good bet now, but they will be in a couple of years.

And I will laugh heartily if Gearing is seriously considering the Will V...

he already has a mitsi M there.. (fuel version of the MIEV) so if would not surprise me.

if you have someone ready to commit that sort of money then by all means. I still do not see it going anywhere myself.

most of the guys I know have moved away from cars and gone to motorhomes,bikes and US iron.

and yes I am old :P

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
