u got an aftermnarket comp ? coz wolf 3ds take ages to crank ive noticed as part of them, nothing wrong with that, and i *think* my powerfc made mine take 1 or 2 cranks longer, meh, it still starts n purrs perfectly ;)

 

shivam - how much would all dat cost lol ? i mean what would say ice do for a 100k'er' ? anyone know ? i gotta head down there soon anyways to have a chat once my brakes are on the car (tomorrow YAY!) so if noone knows i guess ill enquire down there as the car is at alost 95,000 now which is when i wanna get it done

:cheers:

Yes well all aftermarket comps should not result in the car not starting first time i think it has a lot to do with who installed and tuned it..

Never had any problems with wolf firing first or second crank i guess some people don't put in the extra effort when installnig and setting up aftermarket ecu's.

On that not who cares if it takes 1 or 2 cranks its not a problem just a feature as paul said :D

nah its the stock ecu that came with the car. if i give the car power first, let acc come on for a few seconds then crank it, it seems to start straight away its only when i turn to full crank from no power it doesnt start.

also if and when the car doesnt start first crank the apexi timer lights up with the a/f ratio. normally the apexi timer shows --- for the a/f ratio. go figure

i'm pretty sure the UAS site still has this information listed but just in case it doesn't.

Is there anywhere in Melbourne that can do a service like this? Nissan FTG? Whenever I go to Ice for a service they just say "what would you like done?"

And I say whatever you think, i dont know, and they just do the oil, filter and maybe the plugs. I mean Ice are good, but i cant see them lubricating my door hinges and tightning my suspension and subframe.

  • 1 year later...

Sorry to dig up an old thread... but I have my 100k service and I want to do it proper.

Can you or anyone suggest how much of this would need to be done by a professional, and how much could be done by a noob? And by noob I mean I have changed my oil and oil filter once.

do u know any mechanics that can help u with it should u mess things up? u'll need to get a diagnositc for the electrical side of it, and be able to use one (ie leave it to a pro). things like timing belt and water pump etc u might eb able to do, just read up on it first, do alot of research. and u will need lots of good tools, do u have all the right tools? torque rench/compression tester etc. u done anything like findint TDC and lining up timing marks?

My mechanic is very sick at the moment and won't be able to help for a while. I've been meaning to ask him who I should use in the mean time. My dad used to be really into cars... but that was pre-injection/computers etc so don't know how much he will be able to help.

I should have mentioned the timing belt has already been done, but not the idler or pulley bearings (note I have no idea what these are). That's the only reason I'd need to find TDC right, to do the timing belt?

I have access to a lot of tools (my dad is a toolmaker) and should have use of a hoist shortly. Not sure about compression testing.

I don't mind getting all the tricky stuff done by someone, but I just want to learn a thing or two and save some money. Speaking of which, should I try to get most of the parts myself and supply to the mechanic? E.g. those bearings which I know nothing of are hundreds of dollars for authentic Nissan ones, or under a hundred for NSK equivalent (thread).

What would you suggest for doing research - just reading the forums/net? Or maybe there is a book/manual I could get that would be helpful?

Thanks!

you should probably get these changed.. or checked if possible to make sure there alrite.

I had my timing belt done and didnt get the idle bearing/pulley thingies changed... (as my mechanic never mentioned it or found it important enough to change...) and 2 days later they snapped and belt came off.... had to rebuild engine :D

Yes, make sure you the idler bearings, just as important as the belt. I helped a friend do a service the other week. Pretty big job as far as time go's. From memory was around $600 in parts and that was trade!

A lot of the things there are a bit wanky, we were VERY particular with this car and did everything that NEEDED to be done.

We didn't have any super special tools, the harmonic balancer has marks to line everything up.

-Diff oil

-Gearbox oil

-Engine oil

-Oil filter

-Fuel filter

-Idler bearings

-Cam belt

-Spark plugs

-Water and coolent

-Water pump (why not while you are there)

-Cam and crank seals

-Cleaned air filter

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
