Pretty frustrated here... belt only has 18k on it & still looks new. Been Squealing upon start off & on for awhile now but especially when put in reverse or when turning on AC. I've adjusted little by little to all the way tight. None on the adjustments have helped. Before I take wheel well off buy new belt, idler pulley & tensioner pulley. Could the squealing be from the pulley on alternator or the alternator itself? Same question for the AC compressor? Or are the tensioner & idler pullied the only thing that would cause squealing? I'd appreciate any input. I've taken it to a mechanic twice for this but car wouldn't squeal for them at all so nothing was done & wasn't charged anything.
@NissanNut74Ай бұрын
When you tighten the belt, confirm the belt is getting tighter. The one belt does every pulley. Sounds like its just not tight enough or something is not letting the adjuster slide and tighten up. The front bolt does nothing but hold the tension. Only the bolt you cant see controls tension.
@derekmorner7909Ай бұрын
I agree. So can the squealing come from the pulley on alternator or AC compressor?? Or is it strictly caused by a bad tensioner pulley?

@@derekmorner7909 Most likely the slippage on the AC. While the belt is loose you can spin the AC and alternator and confirm no resistance.

So I did the replacement! I found that you can reach around the windshield washer fluid reservoir to easily reach the adjusting bolt (yes I still had to remove most of the wheel well cover, but I could bend 2/3 of it back to get it sufficiently out of the way). It's a bit awkward but fairly easy once the arm is through. Motor mount removal not needed. However, I'm still having trouble getting rid of all the chirping! My impression is the belt does stretch a tad when first installed, and even one attempt at tightening enough to get rid of the chirp, which initially worked, didn't keep the chirp away after a few more miles. I didn't get a tensioner measuring tool after reading so many mixed reviews about them, but trying the "90-degree turn" method doesn't seem to indicate sufficient tightness - or else it's just still stretching as it breaks in? It's quite a pain getting in that area repeatedly to keep tightening, I must say. Thoughts on chirping and tightening? I did replace the tensioner pulley as well (belt and tensioner both Gates). The pulley design looked slightly different but the key dimensions looked identical. Big sigh!!!

The bolt must not be on right or something. I could feel the belt getting tighter. There was more adjustment left, it did not bottom out.
Your setting the car to 3 degrees but measuring on the lift and not the car. Where is the angle taken on the car? And is it 3 degrees front up or front down?
when the lift touchs the car, they will be the same. The car is currently same as driveway 3deg. I think the 2 degree warning is on side lifts.
Very nice.
Did you have to have the dealership re program the throttle body after disconnecting it?
not needed.
Awesome absolutely was the issue
Cool name!
Nice lift!
This lift is awesome. Comes in so handy for dropping engines and anything suspension related. Perfect for low stuff. here is the unboxing.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZ2l0JOweLiXYKw.html
Cool project, I love those body styles.
I agree, I love the 521 series Datsun/Nissan trucks to. I just HOPE that this truck won't be ruined with lowering it to the ground and putting those ugly, gross looking wagon wheels and thin tires on it. All that hard work would then be ruined if that's what's going to happen to this beautiful looking truck.
@@danbasta3677 I don't think that's his style.

I have a 2015 Sentra, throwing code P2101, idle issues, stalling completely, went into limp mode (several times before I got home), and stuttering during acceleration… is this a possible fix? Thanks!
Almost forgot, 151k miles
Possibly. Code is related to throttle control. It would be great start. Just under $5 in cleaning supplies.
@@NissanNut74 so far I’ve cleaned it, replaced it, and replaced the MAF sensor, still same issue… think it’s time for an actual mechanic, unless you have another suggestion to try
The FSM says this: DTC No. CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) DTC detecting condition Possible cause P2101 ETC FNCTN/CIRC-B1 (Throttle actuator “A” control motor circuit range/performance) Electric throttle control function does not operate properly. • Harness or connectors (Throttle control motor circuit is open or shorted) • Electric throttle control actuator @@Greg-Amanda
if you replaced the throttle body, its a wiring issue. bad ground or power.
So I did the replacement! I found that you can reach around the windshield washer fluid reservoir to easily reach the adjusting bolt (yes I still had to remove most of the wheel well cover, but I could bend 2/3 of it back to get it sufficiently out of the way). It's a bit awkward but fairly easy once the arm is through. Motor mount removal not needed. However, I'm still having trouble getting rid of all the chirping! My impression is the belt does stretch a tad when first installed, and even one attempt at tightening enough to get rid of the chirp, which initially worked, didn't keep the chirp away after a few more miles. I didn't get a tensioner measuring tool after reading so many mixed reviews about them, but trying the "90-degree turn" method doesn't seem to indicate sufficient tightness - or else it's just still stretching as it breaks in? It's quite a pain getting in that area repeatedly to keep tightening, I must say. Thoughts on chirping and tightening? I did replace the tensioner pulley as well (belt and tensioner both Gates). The pulley design looked slightly different but the key dimensions looked identical. Big sigh!!!
We have had no chirping that I have noticed. The Versa has about 2k more miles and no noises reported. I can check next time I see it. I just used a small 1/4 ratchet to snug initially.
It has to be TIGHT! I had the same issue after I changed it all and it chirped , I went back after watching this and tightened it more , then it stopped…
@@CNSTAdventures seems so!
Awesomely helpful video, thanks! Did you say you removed the motor mount as well? Just curious how you suspended the engine to do that. I am suspecting one of my motor mounts have excessive wear and was going to attempt this replacement as well soon.
I used a floor jack and piece of wood on oil pan. Its blue and silver just barely visible in video. But the motor mount had no wear. The same mount is used on my 2014 sentra with 200k. No wear on that one either. There is a video of that engine swap here that shows how big these modern mounts are: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGqu0Lupgc2tfso.html

How tight to tighten the drain pan bolts ? Mine leaks no matter what. I've tried multiple gaskets and 2 different pans. Any ideas?
What I do is use gasket maker. I run a bead around, no gasket. Assemble immediately. The loosenly tighten bolts. After 1 hour snug up bolts. Dont tighten for 24 hours. let the sealer cure. no leaks.
That is one clean truck, not a rust bucket, nice find!
Thanks. Yes just some in the drivers floor. 1 small hole in 1 fender. Lots of surface rust. lots of tar undercoating underneath. Truck was in washington until 2015.
Hello there quick question will I be able to use those shocks on my 2006 nissan pathfinder. Thank you
Unfortunately not, the pathy uses 14" shocks.
Part 3 is now up kzread.info/dash/bejne/q45ktLh_g7K3YJs.html
So keep saying in the video YOU THINK. How about you know before you make a video.
I dig it! I'm a 1st Gen Frontier owner and am just one of many Clubfrontier membesr(and other Nisssan forum members) that appreciate all your work and knowledge you've documented and shared with all over the years!👍👍
Thank you! This is the oldest vehicle I have bought. This will have massive upgrade! Considering a d22 drivetrain including HVAC. ka24 with manual trans.
@@NissanNut74I do hope that your not going to lower this beautiful looking little truck down to the ground and put those ugly, gross looking wagon wheels and thin tires on it. These little Datsun/Nissan 521 series trucks are beautiful looking little trucks and they are designed for light hauling when you need to haul something or transport something that needs transported from one place to another. They're beautiful looking little trucks.
stock wheels and these tires with chrome hubcaps. stock to slightly lowered. i hate low profile tires.@@danbasta3677

Could this transmission work on the 2013 cvt Hr16 engine please help my 2013 Sentra have a train issue but I have a versa Tranni could it work
Sentra will have MR series engines. I dont know if MR and HR are compatible. Most likely not since they are different series.
Does the oil change stops the “rumble strip vibration”? A lot people complain about this vibration in Nissan forums and mentioned that transmission oil change fixes it.
My kids own these 2 vehicles. Neither has noticed any issues before or after the oil changes. I change the oil every few years. I test drive them occassionaly and have noticed no issues.
@@NissanNut74 it’s an annoying low vibration. The transmission gears changes perfectly fine. Just bought the car for my daughter. I would hate to go spend $6K+ to swap out the transmission. I am having the transmission oil change tomorrow at the dealer, $400 to do it. I am hoping it will resolve it. Will the rumble get worse over time? She will be driving locally a total of 14 miles a day going back and forth to school. Should I be overly concerned?
I would definitely change the oil. Its cheap and easy. Then I would check cvaxles and mounts first. I had a vibration on my 04 quest, 5 speed auto. Turns out it was just a torn trans mount. @@Ramakan
@@NissanNut74 ok. Good to know! Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot!
That piece of angle iron is not stock
Square bracket is for exhaust mount
sweet!
Thanks, stay tuned for EPS, power brakes and more.
I have a 2010 Versa and have put 120k+ miles on it via daily driving and cross country driving from Miami to Canada (about 7 long roadtrips). I've never touched the CVT or added fluid either. Have I been lucky? I've changed the spark coils, plugs, batteries and air filters throughout the years. Is this the best Nissan built or what? And they say Honda & Toyota are the best.....
Thats just like all my Nissans. I only buy Nissans since 1984! You should change the trans oil though.
You need to use the cvt fluid nissan sentra OEM
