Nissan cars of the older models even the ones after 2010 have this peculiar gearbox issue/gear selector issue that is always annoying, pocket draining and difficult to fix. Most times, it usually results in a change of gearbox but the issue still has chances of re-occurring even after the change BestDude: 1 Like |

nurey: Lexus toyota beats Nissan Infiniti hands down and even Nissan Infiniti knows these and won't say otherwise. Personal scenarios: My 03 highlander was a workhouse which served me 4 good years not once did she stopped on the road. Her suspensions, drive components and bushings were intact till she was sold off. My 05 Lexus is serving me 5years 1 month. Not a single break down save for a nasty pothole I hit one September evening around 8pm along Umuahia- Ikot Ekpene road which caused her shocks to leak and that was fixed. I don't know what else to say about reliability other than that. 2 Likes |

IghoCentric:If any car works as you have described it, my personal view is that the ECU Programming is poor designed. I agree that thermostat is a standard design in vehicles wherever the vehicle is to be used in the world. My point is that 1. In tropical areas such as ours: having a Thermostat is NOT a disadvantage for the vehicles performance. 2. . In tropical areas such as ours: having a Thermostat does NOT confer any advantage for the vehicles performance shadeyinka: |

nurey:How Sir! I will need an explanation! Reduced life span of oil I think is usually caused by overheating not underheating. Dont forget that a car which doesn't use an ECU (old models) can still have thermostats installed! So, the thermostat is not necessary for the ECUs functions of optimising vehicle performance (fuel:air ratio, volume of injected fuel, etc) As far I I know, the only thing that suffers when a thermostat is removed is the Electronic Cooling Fan. Our weather is so hot that less than 5 minutes after a car is started up, the valve of the thermostat opens up and doesn't close up until the ignition is shut down. Thanks! |
Re: Why Are Nissan Cars So Dead Cheap by nurey(m): 8:02am On Feb 03, 2019 |
shadeyinka: let me make it simpler for you 1. No thermostat and injectors will spray more fuel continously into cylinder head just to try and get the temp up. This will mean more unburnt fuel in the chamber blacks smoke and extremely detonation (cylinder heads get hotter than usual) 2. Engine always cold around 30 degrees hot means engine oil will not thin well and getting to lubricate tiny spaces will be impossible there will be a too much grinding of metal b Oil will thicken or cake eventually leading to sludge c pumps will be clogged due to oil not thickened enough 1 Like |
Re: Why Are Nissan Cars So Dead Cheap by shadeyinka(m): 8:25am On Feb 03, 2019 |
nurey:I think you have reversed the sequence Sir. When a thermostat is Open (which is simulated by the removal of the thermostat), the ECU assumes the engine is ALREADY too hot and so it should actually reduce the fuel consumption NOT the other way round. And this is only if this kind of logic is programmed into the ECU which I honestly doubt. nurey:I think I know where the misconception is. In temperate countries, the engine block even after 10 minutes of operation may still have an average temperature of below 30oC which is bad for the Engine Oils viscosity HOWEVER 30oC temp for a working engine is impossible in tropical climate. Under 2 minutes of ignition and the cars here have averaged a temp of 60oC or even higher. Our room temperature hovers between 27 and 36 oC unlike in temperate countries where the ambient temperatures could go as low as -14oC. (Freezing point of water is 0oC) |

shadeyinka: The issue I have with you is you are really not determined to learn and you are behaving ignorant which isn't so considering you have a working knowledge of mechanics. The thermostat is a mechanical device doesn't give signal or receive signal but works on the principle of heat and expansion. It expands when it senses too much heat and contrast when it senses less heat. Now the cooling application in a car is called system. A system is comprised of several organs (parts) working together to achieve a stable state (biology) when you remove a component from a system you have left a flaw in the system which can affect its function. what I want you to do now is to show a research that says thermostat should be removed in one region and left in another. Also show me a vehicle that was designed for a particular region only. 2 Likes |

nurey:But with due respect, You are wrong! No offence intended! What is the effect of cutting of a healthy appendix from an individual? Isn't it part of the system of a human being? What is the effect of shaving off the human hair? Is it not part of a system? The workings and the function of a component to it's system is what determine if it is indispensable or not.

kingreign:Your Toyota Lexus comes after my W210 E320 2001 model. I strayed into the Honda is good crew... Within a brief period almost all Honda part sellers don sabi me. But on purchase of this workhouse... Ojigbijigbi I have had ABSOLUTE peace of mind since. Handling, bucket seats, you feel like you've not been driving after a 250km drive....it is that good. |

shadeyinka: you are also wrong in this. Imagine if I shave your body hair and it never grows back, do you know you will fall sick often because the body air is part of temperature regulator in the human body. The appendix for now is no go area cause oyinbo see doesn't know it's exact function in the body. |

BestDude:Murano uses "CVT gear".Once any kind of funny oil is poured into the gearbox,That's the end of that particular gear.NS 2 /3 or a genuine alternative must be used.Good maintenance practices and a qualified auto mechanic with extensive knowledge of modern nissan vehicles will go a long way in keeping your car in top shape for a long time. 2 Likes |

Well I can't say why they are cheap to you. Cos to me they aren't. I have been using Nissan's for over ten yrs now. I drive an altima 2003 model and a tiida 2008 model. Altima bought as naija used,still rocking it after four yrs.tiida bought brand new in 2008 no work apart from change of oil and plugs done on it. So as I keep telling ppl longevity of a car depends on . 1.the condition you bought it in. Bad or good. New or used, used well or used badly. 2.your maintenance culture and love for the car. Every brand of car has issues depending on nature of use and maintenance. I ll soon be in d mkt looking for a newer altima 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Benz4pimp: Please can you detail the step by step process? The site you bought them, the company that tows it to the shipping company and the shipping company used and how you clear. I really want to learn. Though I was going to create a thread to ask until I saw your comment. |
