Thanks Nissparts, I was told by my lebanese mechanic to buy the O2 sensor from abroad and he'll fix it for me. Considering the stress and cost of buying it abroad, I would like to know if you have it ready and maybe we could strike a deal. I'm in Ghana but transport cars come here from Lag on a daily basis which I believe should be cheaper for me.

Please let me know if you have it and the cost. THanks

Check if the sensor in yours has 4 or 6 pins in the connector

First things first. Buy yourself a scan tool. It will enable you to generate data and make assumptions from which you can obtain meaningful assistance.
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by drumma(m): 10:53pm On Nov 27, 2014
BABA OKO Mii.... I have scanned and rescanned the error code P1815 has been reviewed with an OBD II scanner being used to clear the code until it came back again.... but my bone of contention is I want to get an auto consultant/specialist assess the car for me for professional advise.... Nigeria will get there someday sha.... smh

Ok o IYA OKO Mii...I thought I advised earlier that you get in touch with Nissparts. You'd have to attend to that control device. In the alternative let sleeping dogs lie since, I presume, you don't use the manual drive mode and there are no issues concerning the smooth drive of the car. I agree though that the continued illumination of that SES light can be annoying.
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by drumma(m): 1:46am On Nov 29, 2014
@costee.... I cannot underestimate the amount of your effortless help to my situation.......however Nissparts seems to be too busy to attend to my needs but Im sure i'll find solution to whatever control that's disturbing my engine life......

I'm still looking for Nissparts shop so I can go cry on his neck for a lasting solution....

Are there any normal drive /gear issues?
As for Nissparts' location, your phone should do that.
All you need is some reference to a good auto electrician. It's either a way is found around the erring switch or the entire device is replaced altogether. The second option is most likely.
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by orgy: 1:24pm On Nov 29, 2014
hell house,
My steering vibrates whenever I applied the breaks @above 120km/h in fx35 car. Please can someone give me address of any accredited infinity workshop to fix this.
I had same issue with my Honda SUV but I took it to Honda and they sweetly cleared it, but referred that of infinity to be handled by infinity/Nissan.
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by drumma(m): 9:12pm On Nov 29, 2014
@costee.... the gear drives perfectly at least to the best of my knowledge but only thing I noticed is that the speed picks up if i rev up to 3000MPH... Im not quite sure if that's the design purpose of the fx35 but that's what I just noticed so If im rev'n on 2000/2500MPH I won't get full movement.... maybe im just used to Honda's silent V6 engines.... undecided

Check if the sensor in yours has 4 or 6 pins in the connector

I spoke to someone over here who told me he has it in stock, but before I thought of leaving to get it, I wanted to do a thorough check again to make sure I wasn't replacing something that isn't bad. I made another mechanic close to my house go under the car and check the sensors, he saw one at the front, close to the bumper disconnected. It has a green 4-pin plug. He connected it back and ensured that the back one was in place too.

I decided to drive the car around for a few minutes if I'll notice any changes, but I only got a 0.1 MPG gain which was normal because the car was fluctuating between 8.8 MPG and 9 MPG in between use of regular and premium fuel. When I came back from the short test drive, I told him to disconnect the battery terminals, and replace them again (hoping to reset the whole system). He did that and when I checked my screen if there was any changes, the MPG was showing *.* (which was what I expected as he has just removed the battery terminals and the system has not been able to calculate the MPG since I've not driven it). The DTE (Distance To Empty) was on the same number before the terminal removal. So I told him I needed to drive the car for the whole day and check for changes which I did and I bought premium fuel. During the test drive, I noticed the MPG was increasing slowly which I expected, but to my surprise, later at night, I crossed my usual 8.8 and even my best of 9.0 MPG and recorded 10.1 MPG before I got home.

Now, here's my question. Considering my increasing MPG, could there still be a problem? Are the sensors working as they should or do I still need to replace them. I could have gone to scan them but it costs alot and I was considering to get a cheap scanner instead of always going to pay for scanning. I found someone who sells the scanning software and USB cable that will enable me to use my laptop as a scanner. I don't know if that is reliable so I would need your advise.

I believe the more I keep driving the car, the more MPG I'll get but one more thing is, the MPG starts reducing slowly too when I'm idling.

Please let me know if there's anything I have to do next.

PS: There's no catalyst in my car (it got burnt a while ago)

Thanks

Your brake discs need to either be machined or replaced.
If you are in Lagos, you can give me a call.

If used in Nigeria, I would avoid.
Alternatively, have a budgeted sum for any possible repairs

Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by Lamexx(m): 4:35pm On Dec 02, 2014
Please guru's in the house, I need help here. I went for wheel balancing and alignment recently and after the procedure, I notice that when my wheels are straight, my steering is bent. If I straighten the steering wheel, the wheels are bent. I am really confused here. When I am driving straight on a straight road, my car goes straight but the steering is as if I am turning left. The thing is really confusing me here. I went for the wheel balancing because my steering usually vibrates at high speed. I don't notice the vibration anymore but now it is the bent steering when tires are straight. What can be the cause

They messed up the steering alignment while doing the wheel alignment.
A wiring technician can re-align your steering wheel.

I guess the steering angle sensor needs to be recalibrated. That can be done by a scan tool that supports that function.

UPDATE: So far so good, I have recorded 11 MPG from my car MPG calculator. I also want to manually calculate it. By the time my fuel gets exhausted, I will update the house and PLEASE!!!!! If any of you have any more advise for me, do not hesitate to let me know.

Thanks
Re: Official Nissan & Infiniti Thread by mathong: 1:40pm On Dec 07, 2014
you guys are turning infinity and nissan thread to something else, look in my opinion i prefer infinity to nissan

i have used both, presently my fx35 which i have used for close to a year since i came to nigeria in February has never given me any issue than normal servicing and all that.

i love this car, but i'll be traveling back and i am selling it at 1.1m and i know whoever buys this will feel very lucky.

i can't even compare this car with my Nissan xterra 02 which i must throw out tomorrow for 650k to whoever pays first tomorrow and mostly i'll miss my infinity cos it must go too before friday which i'll be traveling.


please you guys should be using this thread for only Nissan and Infinity so people can get a clear view and solution to their problem.....

in case anyone needs advice on the afore mention rides above just reach me on 08145234989 or cashlink86@gmail.com and i'll be happy to advice base on experience with it.

When I saw the length of words you typed, I was happy and though someone else has come to give his own opinion on things. On reading it, I found out that you only came here to stylishly advertise your cars you have for sale and drop your number and email for prospective buyer. THis is a support thread and not an advert thread. Please go away with your cheap cars, everybody on this thread are owners already and if we need to buy, we will come to the auto section, not here. MODS please delete this man's post as it is neither contributing anything to this thread nor does he have any complains or problems he wants to be solved.

Hello all, i drive a 2002 Nissan Altima since september of this year. I have been having issues with one thing or the other in the engine till it almost packed up. I have got a new engine but one of the sensors didnt match with the socket of the car. I hope my mechanics know what they are doing with the engine they bought in the first place. I need contact of very good mechanics for Nissan.
