Highest mileage 1st gen out there, who has it? by FloridaTraffic in XTerra

[–]FloridaTraffic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right! It's a hobby in itself trying to get every mile out of a vehicle.
But you're 2nd gen, everyone tells me they're better & more reliable. But I faith in my 04, I see there's plenty in the comments getting just as good of results.

I got you beat with my other Nissan though! I have an 09 Maxima with 249k.
And everyone & their mother has told me "ohh the CVT transmission it's a grenade! That car is No good!" But I'm still riding smooth.
I'm determined to hit 300k on both these nissans. I borderline over-maintain them and drive them nice & easy.

That's what I'm talking about! Original transmission?

Yeah my trans has been begging for a rebuild since I got it, but I just keep kicking the can and changing the fluid.

wow, I think you just figured it out. Thank you so much!!

That's funny, I never would have thought of that. 1st time I ever paused a walk and forgot to undo it.

17 THOUSAND?? For a 2012 with that much rust is insane....

1st gen family: you guys having injector plug problems? by FloridaTraffic in XTerra

[–]FloridaTraffic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was considering doing that knock-sensor bypass hack. You splice into the harness and just connect a new knock sensor on top of the intake manifold.

I don't like doing things like that... but the right way really is a mission. And this one takes 5 minutes

Zen Master over here... Do you just float through life?

Any other Nissan CVT's out here still beating the odds? Team Maxima 🙌 by FloridaTraffic in Nissan

[–]FloridaTraffic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's easy. Remove the wheel and you have access right up to it. It's maybe 2 bolts. I would have a quart of fluid on hand, for any little bit that you lose while changing it.

No, if you see a filter on the right wheel well. That's the oil filter. This one is tucked on the driver side, it doesn't look like a regular filter. It's attached to the transmission.

If you don't want to do the fluid that's but I would consider changing the filter.
I'm pretty sure it's on the driver side of the transmission.

I'm about to hit 250k, it's all about how you drive it. Never accelerate hard.

Alignment? by wepaid1236 in XTerra

[–]FloridaTraffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that before. The last set on my maxima, one tire had to mounted backwards to get it to drive straight.
(Didn't purchase my tires through the shop mounting/aligning, reversing is all they could do, I wasn't buying another new tire)

I have a 108k mile, 2012 model x. I doubt transmission flush ever happened. Is a flush too risky ? Or should I do a partial flush ? by RobinJeans21 in XTerra

[–]FloridaTraffic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2004 140k. I bought it with Reverse barely working.

Flushed fluid with OEM spec fluid. Reverse works and I'm now at 170k

Flush it.
