    Hey everyone. My Xterra was given to me for my 17th birthday from aunt. The car has been in my family since rolling off the lot, but once my aunt got the car around 60k-ish miles, she only changed the oil once a year. When I got it in May of this year it had 93k miles on it, and it needed the...

    Hey all. Been poking around here for a few weeks and just can't seem to find any post that speaks to the issues I am having with my 07 after re-timing. The short version is after I redid the timing I am only able to get the car to run for about a min before shutting off. It starts up just fine...

    Hi everyone, Tried to look this up but couldn't find anything. Anyone have luck with the napa timing chain kit? I probably need mine replaced (06 offroad, 175k miles), and the only mechanic I can get into in any reasonable timeline uses the napa kit. I was going to buy the oil galley gaskets...

    2006 S MT 177,000mi I finally got around to replacing the secondary timing chains, tensioners, guides, primary chain, gallery gaskets, water pump, thermostat, and all other guides inside the cover. Everything is great EXCEPT the primary timing chain is still slapping the upper guide on a cold...

    I have a 2006 Xterra 4WD with 121,000 miles. Recently, when the vehicle is at operating temp, my oil pressure gauge moves around like this but my gauge jumps around a little bit more. It seems to get worse when the outside temps are 90°F or higher. We’ve cleaned the original oil sender with...

    Got a 07 Xterra (215k KM) here with some whining noise under the hood. I did some research online and I think that's the infamous timing chain guide issue. I went to a Nissan dealership today and the technician told me that everything is fine so there's nothing to worry about! What do you guys...

    I’ve been getting this clicking noise from the engine over the past week or so and can’t figure out if it’s the timing chain or not. Any thoughts or advice would be great. https://youtube.com/shorts/_HLM7HPHmHw?feature=share
  8. General Xterra
    I'm in the market for a car and found an 05 Xterra with 200k miles. It only has one owner, a clean carfax, and I believe but am not positive that there are maintenance records the owner has which I can request. The ad says 5 speed manual, pretty sure this is a typo and that its a 6MT. Not sure...
  9. Welcome Center
    Good Afternoon All!! Just picked up a 2006 base model with 150k on the dial and am shooting for the fences. I am from Southern Illinois and looking for the tools recommended when replacing the timing chains and guides, is there a tool rental? Just purchase new radiator and hoses, to avoid the...

    I had just taken the main chain off when the passenger side camshaft sprockets jumped counter clockwise out of the mating marks (flywheel is locked with lock tool and first piston is at TDC). What is the best way to proceed? Is it as simple as turning the shafts clockwise until they are back in...

    So I plan on performing the timing chain job on my 2006 S 6MT 4x4 sometime here in the near future. About 160K miles. I have done quite a bit of research, but I'm still confused about the actual lockout procedure for the engine and whether or not it's necessary to remove the valve covers to...

    So I live in Raleigh, NC. I took my car to Carfix to get the problem diagnosed...which I already knew what was wrong. They only confirmed it. Turns out it's both timing chains that need to be replaced. I have read plenty of posts on here about the timing chain and replacement costs for...

    Hello, any suggestions on what’s causing this noise from the front driver area? First encountered it a year ago after parking unevenly in the alley, it used be a barely audible slow tick, went away for a year until recently, parked unevenly on crusty hardened mud for a few hours and the noise is...

    The time has come for my X to get the timing chain replaced. I will be getting my hands dirty with this project as soon as I know that I've got the right parts. After searching a couple of sites for the chain, sprockets, etc. I am left a little confused because some of the parts say they fit...
  15. Powertrain & Driveline
    Hello Everyone, I am incredibly attached to my Nissan Turtle Truck and am hoping I can save it without replacing the engine. 2005 X, 190k miles. I can't diagnose what this isuue might be to know what to look for. My engine has developed a horrible noise over the last year (about 1000 miles)...
