Had the same problem on my 100NX. This is what it looked like: Cut and chisel is the key. I put some acidresistant bolts on my new exhasut, to prevent that from ever happening again. Good luck! (http://forums.mightycarmods.com/showthread.php?9373-Dala-s-Nissan-NX2000/page11) <-Headers-catback...

I was looking into removing the steering wheel on my K11, because it was not properly symmetrical when the car was heading straight. I decided to document my findings for people with need for this. This guide is also helpful if you need to replace the airbag or switch to an aftermarket...

Got an email from the buyer, and he solved it! It was.... THE FUELPUMP Kinda odd, since I paid a mechanic to change it for 200€... Either he messed up or the tank was filled with crud? He now put it on the road again to soldier on... If I've learned something from this, don't rely totally on...

Unfortunately, I've sold the car. Got a great offer from a Micra enthusiast, who bought it and dragged it home. His initial diagnosis on the spot was clogged cat, but now we'll never know for sure what caused it to go bad.. Thanks to everyone who helped! This is a great forum!

Nah man, too cold :). Vehicle ahs been taken ff the road, and is waiting for spring, will probably take until March. Fuel delivery is the only logical thing to check then. Enjoying the new CG10DE,it gets alot better gas mileage :D

Okay, this is my new daily driver: Got it from an old lady, it's a -99 K11 with a 100k km! CG10DE Soo, now I can start swap parts, since the two cars are identical. Going to start with the ECU once the car comes back from the dealership.

Good advice there, will probably go over stuff again with some other mechanical friends :) BUT, since this ain't my passion to troubleshoot an erratic error (I really want to use the spare time on my SR20 powered NX), I'm on the lookout for a new daily driver. Going to go look on a 2001...

Car is now booked for free "quick" troubleshooting over at Nissan again. 9:th January. Will update this thread then. Will be considering buying a new daily driver now. Can't take this constant lending cars from relatives anymore...

Massive Update! Engine assembled and problem still there! I'm properly pissed off now. Going back to the dealership tomorrow...

I'm midway through the chainswap now, here are some pics: Lots of room to do it with the engine still in place. Here are some of the parts, and they don't look wery worn at all :( Tried measuring the chains too, but they looked almost identical :( Closeup on the upper tensioner, only...

Pick up a cheap Nissan Consult cable from ebay or forum market. A Serial-USB cable is helpful :) Then, download the free Conzult software, turn it on, set it into timing/idle mode! Presto! No more need rev engine/restart -> disconnect TPS etc.. This is for pre coilpack K11's! Newer ones use...

You can also use a laptop+consult cable, to make the process easier!

I'm doing my timing chain+tensioner+guide right now! I left the engine in, just tilted it slightly sideways. I'm halfway through it now, just waiting on my parts to arrive.. Didn't take many pictures, but check my thread out if you want...

Okay, so I got started on the chain inspection now. Started the evening like this: After 2 hours it looked like this: Here is a closeup on the upper chain Is this lift normal? Chain resting: Here is a closeup of the upper chain tensioner Another angle. Imho, this doesn't look THAT bad...

It was actually 3.6hours work, for 360€ (I guessed the £ value, and it seems like I don't know my exhange rates :P (290£)) Made the forum post a bit after I dropped it off. The job was quoted 1500€ (1200£) They did the inspection with a timing rig, to confirm that the timing was scattered...

Well,I'm gonna inspect it myself, but it does seem odd that it's causing so much trouble. The car has always had regual oilchanges, and afaik the chains suffer alot when oil changes are uncommon. Ordered the chains, tensioner, guides etc. Set me back 149€ shipped. Will be an awesome win if I...

Final verdict from Nissan: Stretched chains, maxed out chain tensioner. Causes the timing to go haywire. 250£ for the diagnosis, and 1200£ if I want to fix it there. Think I'm gonna order a chain kit and rip the engine apart now. Feels so good to know what the error is, albeit it has been a...

Car is now at the dealership, and it'll probably be there over the holidays if 2 days aren't enough to troubleshoot it. Keeping you posted!

Car is booked for Nissan garage next Thursday. Pricey, but I'm willing to pay to find the problem now.

Checked the relays. Switched them all around and tried tapping on them. No change Checked the voltage at the Data diagnostic outlet. No Vdrops. Checked the fuses. Again. No change. The car is going to get booked into a Nissan garage tomorrow.
