I used all OEM parts other than the air filter to make a new intake, and i put on a different muffler. Anyways, i have been having horrible luck with it. 1st, my tire pressure senson wont shut up, and my airbag light keeps flickering on and off. Also, i was going about 50 and went to pass because it was a 55mph and because the clutch is so weird, i accidentally put it into 1st gear. Why the lock didnt activate i have no idea, because it is mandatory on all cars i believe. Anyways, my brand new baby has a blown engine, and nissan refuses to fix it under warranty because they said i abused it. I think thats BS because the damn lock should engage. Anyways, it sucks a lot
Excuse me if you consider this in an accusatory tone, which it is not at all intended to be; it is simply constructive criticism, but maybe it was your custom intake that either blew the engine or perhaps that is why they believe there is abuse inherent. Other than your blown engine, your problems are, unfortunately, common to Versa owners. The TPMS works up in most cars, mine included, although it is fine now, as is the airbag light, but I haven't experiences such a malfunction yet. I drive a CVT, but I've heard from a lot of members with the 6 speed transmission that the clutch is very weird, but I've heard the same thing about other newer cars too, like the Matrix, so be glad it isn't purely Nissan's designs that are seemingly flawed. Anyway, good luck with your car, hopefully you can get it back into shape soon. If all else fails, just swap the engine out for an SR20DET.
