4th Q45! 1994 45K Touring, Mr. Green

[Peterofdevon]

I could not resist a T with this low milage and just over in Jersey.

Paid $4995. Cars.com had this at 4995, the lot's site had it at 5995. They honored the lower price. From recent sales it seems the low mileage ones are getting close to 6995 asking prices. Good GOSH! The one two weeks ago sold at that price and the cream colored in the mid west with 75K went for full asking 6995.

Interior-perfect, as new except for drivers foot wear on carpet. Dude must have worn big ol' boots or something. Suspension-very tight. I'll do the struts to get the firmer ride and check the upper arms and strut rods.

Do you T owners think the FSTB is a worthy addition? (worked wonders on Mr. Blue 94)

transmission has a once in a while clunk in the sifts, I'll flush it and put a trans cooler on and see how it goes.

Air bag light blinks. What do I do here?

Will do all the fluids...Q...with this low milage I would like to switch to synthetic oil, whats the one everyone's using?

Brakes pump so its needs rotors. OEM or ?

Rear bumber needs a spray and thats about it for 1st day discoveries.

It seems more light footed than Mr. Blue 94 and corners far better. I have lots into Mr. Blue so I may keep both as I make Mr. Green more perfect.

Congrats, Peter.

It is always nice to have a Q to drive while you are working on your other Q.

I need to get back into production on my strut bars. It has been long enough.

I think it will help. It did on my Lola.

Do you T owners think the FSTB is a worthy addition?

Yup, that and the rear a bar. New rubber works wonders, then there are wheels and tires. I like the drilled Stillen Brembo rotors I have on one car (20K and nothing but true vibrationless braking), but Tire Rack has a good price on plain Brembos, so those are going on the FY33.

Joe has a good price on the Stillen Brembos. Look for PowerStop also, but on the web, many parts don't have the pedigree they claim.

I'd say you want a FSTB reagrdless fo T or not.

I'd suggest the best rotors/pads Joe has to offer. Maybe flush the brake fluid while you're at it, DOT5 blue I think is the current fluid of choice.

I'm using Valvoline Dura-blend on the 94, going to use Mobil 1 on the 95.

The ABS flashing makes me think someone spilled a drink and got the ABS "thing" in the console wet ... but that's stressing the old "remember-er". Try a search for that.

Oh, look in the FSM for resetting the air bag blinking light. Someone must have fooled with the ECU.

If you're still having this blinking light problem, call Chris McNutt, 888-888-8888 (before 5:00 Central time). He'll get you fixed up.

Thats a sweet last name

Not necssarily.....

For the airbag light, do this.....

turn the car on (engine not running)Press the door switch on the drivers side door more than 10 times within 10 seconds of turning the car on.Light should go out.

[maxnix]

Not necssarily.....

Oh yes it is! Look at RS-22 - 23 in 1995 FSM!

Oh yes it is! Look at RS-22 - 23 in 1995 FSM!

actually this is a common thing with all NISSANS. To put the airbag computer into diagnostic mode, you have to press the drivers door switch 5 times within 10 seconds of turning the key on. Sometimes you can trigger the diagnostic mode without even trying.. I did it on my old Q once, many other Q owners have this, as well as maxima owners...

Technically its not "fooling with the ECU" if you didnt do it on purpose...

1.) To put the airbag computer into diagnostic mode, you have to press the drivers door switch 5 times within 10 seconds of turning the key on.

2.) Technically its not "fooling with the ECU" if you didnt do it on purpose...

1.) FSM specifies "at least 5 times in 7 seconds." Timing is everything. Multiple graphs for flash timing on the referenced pages covers User Mode diagnosis in more depth.

2.) I was prompted to learn this because when I repalced the ECU with Robert's modified one, the air bag light wouldn't quit flashing. He alerted me to the reset procedure.
