    Thank you! The AWD models does come with a transfer case located at the rear of the transmission (I also have a video on it). I'm not sure of the exact dimension, but the part number for the washer the I used was "11026-1CA0A."

    How do you know when this should be changed? Or at what mileage/year point?

  • @AwkhuardVQ
    @AwkhuardVQ22 күн бұрын

    It’s recommended to do the transmission, front and rear differential, plus the transfer case every 30,000 miles, but I do mine at around every 25,000 miles. Engine oil wise Nissan/INFINITI says 7500 miles, but I do mine every 5000 miles. If you’re not sure of the last fluid change then I would just change the fluids and use the mileage that it was changed at as a base line where to start.

  • @AwkhuardVQ

    In theory you could, but it'll be very difficult because you would have to adjust the valves in the lower intake manifold to be in a perfected fixed position. Just enough to where it doesn't cut off air flow or let too much into the engine. Even if it that was possible the light would be present still nonetheless. I'll have to dig into this idea. Thank you.

    @AwkhuardVQАй бұрын

    Thank you for the feedback and congrats on the car! For the 370GT/EX37/QX50 (not sure where you are in the world). - The copper crush washers (11026-JA00A) are the same on the engine and transmission drain plugs. - The front and rear differential uses the same aluminum washers (11026-4N200) for both the fill and drain plug. -The transfer case also uses the same aluminum washers (11026-1CA0A) for the fill and drain plug, HOWEVER, the transfer case washers do differ from the differential washers. - (Part numbers are from a USA market vehicle, so I'm unsure if its the same for international vehicles) Hope this answers some questions for you. Thank you!

    Appreciate you, and bummer about all the rust. East coast? I'm in Colorado they don't use salt, just wondering. I feel like I stole this one. 3 mechanic shops couldn't figure out why a different mechanic screwed something, but a year of trying to figure it out with misfires allowing it to pump raw fuel out the exhaust, thus melting down the cats. 119k mile on a '08, great body, new tires. I just bought it $700. Gutted the old melted cat to let exhaust out and reinstalled, bought Amazon coils and plug for $80. still had weird misfire, then looked for coils that could have room to have to have accidentally been crossed. Sure enough, cyl. 1 & 3 had enough length that if not careful, they could be mixed up. Swapped the coil pug connectors, fired it up and misfire gone. Found cats 2 each side connected as one 1 unit each side, dirt cheep like $120 for all, easy swap. My girlfriend just scored bigtime. My health is shot from 45 years of fixing cars. can't breathe enough to walk 5 feet. 64 years at over 100 mph, going out just like when I came into this world screaming, but this time yelling "wow, what a ride."

    Excellent video, I can add one trick to save you from removing the muffler bracket and the 3 bolts. Slide a 1/4 drive extension in between the 2 spokes of the muffler bracket and then place your 10mm socket on the nut, connect the two tools and remove your nut. A 1/4 drive fits perfectly between the 2 spokes of the muffler bracket a 3/8 drive extension will be too thick.

    Look up 2x4 wood jackstands. You could build a few levels and then set them under each wheel. Of course I would set actual jack underneath too for extra security. I would set it the long rails underneath the car that runs parallel to one another. I hope this help.

    I always recommend getting an OEM over aftermarket even if its used. This part shares with most Nissans and INFINITIs before 2010. If there is a local picknpull or salvage yard near you can I'd say check there first, if not, then online is your best case. You could get an aftermarket one, but YMMV on those.

    Technically you could replace your entire lower intake manifold to fix the issue as long as it has the actuator too. In theory, if there is too much carbon build up around the lower intake butterfly valves it could cause the valves to not open or close properly, but usually it's just the actuator that needs replacing.
