Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid being scalded, never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
Ð DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT Ð
1. Move heater ``TEMP'' control lever all the way to ``HOT''
position.
lMake sure that air condition switch is ``OFF''.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator, and
remove radiator cap.
3. Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank. Install it temporarily.
Be careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug.
Ð FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM Ð
5. Install and then tighten radiator drain plug and cylinder block
drain plug securely.
6. Open air relief plug.
7. Fill radiator with water and close air relief plug and radiator
cap.
8. Run engine and warm it up sufficiently.
9. Race engine 2 or 3 times under no-load.
10. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
11. Repeat step 2 through step 10 until clear water begins to
drain from radiator.
12. Drain water.
Ð REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT Ð
lApply sealant to the thread of drain plug.

Checking Manifold Tightening Torque
Checking should be performed while engine is cold
[approximately 20ÉC (68ÉF)].
Manifold bolts and nuts:
Intake
: 13 - 19 N´m (1.3 - 1.9 kg-m,9-14ft-lb)
Exhaust
: 25 - 29 N´m (2.5 - 3.0 kg-m, 18 - 22 ft-lb)
Exhaust tube nuts:
: 41.2 - 48.0 N´m (4.2 - 4.9 kg-m, 30 - 35 ft-lb)
Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve
Clearance
Adjustment should be made while engine is warm but not
running.
1. Set No. 1 cylinder in top dead center on its compression
stroke, and adjust valve clearance
V1,V2,V3andV6.
2. Set No. 4 cylinder at top dead center on its compression
stroke, and adjust valve clearance
V4,V5,V7andV8.
Valve clearance:
Intake
V1,V3,V5andV7
0.30 - 0.40 mm (0.012 - 0.016 in)
Exhaust

Adjusting screw lock nuts:
: 15 - 20 N´m (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
lTighten lock nuts, by fixing the adjusting screws using a
minus driver.
Checking Drive Belt
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check drive belt deflection by pushing on the belt midway
between pulleys.
Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit.

2. Clean oil filter mounting surface on cylinder block. Coat rub-
ber seal of new oil filter with engine oil.
3. Screw in the oil filter until a slight resistance is felt, then
tighten an additional 2/3 of a turn.

Changing Engine Coolant
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
ÐDRAINING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
1. Move heater TEMP control knob all the way to HOT.
2. Open radiator drain plug at the bottom of radiator.
3. Remove radiator filler cap.
Remove reservoir tank, drain coolant, then clean reservoir
tank.
Install it temporarily.
lBe careful not to allow coolant to contact drive belts.
4. Remove cylinder block drain plug located at left rear of cyl-
inder block.
5. Drain coolant and install cylinder block drain plug and radia-
tor drain plug.
6. Fill radiator with water and warm up engine.
7. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
8. Repeat step 2 through step 7 two or three times.
9. Drain water.
ÐREFILLING ENGINE COOLANTÐ
10. Install reservoir tank, radiator drain plug, and cylinder block
drain plugs.
lApply sealant to the thread of cylinder block drain plug.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ``AIR
BAG'' (4WD models)
The Supplemental Restraint System ``AIR BAG'', used along with a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag
module (located in the center of the steering wheel), diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness
and spiral cable.
WARNING:
lTo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
lImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
lDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation either just before the
harness connectors or for the complete harness, for easy identification.

CAUTION:
lDo not disassemble buckle or seat belt assembly.
lReplace anchor bolts if they are deformed or worn out.
lNever oil tongue and buckle.
lIf any component of seat belt assembly is questionable, do not repair. Replace the whole seat
belt assembly.
lIf webbing is cut, frayed, or damaged, replace seat belt assembly.
lWhen replacing seat belt assembly, use a genuine seat belt assembly.
lAfter any collision, inspect all seat belt assemblies, including retractors and other attached
hardwares.
