Selection Procedure for Selective Part
Combination
LocationSelective part combination ItemMethod
Cylinder block - piston Piston and piston assembly
(Part No. is given to a piston and piston pin as a set.) Piston grade (Piston outer
diameter) Refer to ªSelective combination
chartº.
IIdentification grade stamped on each part represents initial
dimension of new part. This grade will not be applied to a
reused part.
I Measure correct dimensions of a reused or modified part, then
refer to ªSelective combination chartº in this manual to identify
the grade.
I Refer to the applicable pages for measurement method for
each part, standards for reuse, and selecting method for selec-
tive part combination.
Disassembly
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle.
Refer to EM-63, ªENGINE REMOVALº.
2. Remove pilot bushing from flywheel using pilot bearing puller (SST), if necessary (M/T model).
3. Install engine to engine stand (SST).
1) Remove flywheel (M/T model) or drive plate (A/T model).
I Using ring gear stopper (SST), secure ring gear, and remove
mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble flywheel.
I Flywheel has a two-piece structure. When being pressed
forward/backward, or twisted in rotating direction, transmission-
side mass will be moved with audible sound. This is not a
problem.
2) Remove pilot converter (A/T model) and rear plate.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
The Supplemental Restraint System such as ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº used along with
a seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of
collision. The SRS composition which is available to NISSAN MODEL R20 is as follows (The composition
varies according to the destination and optional equipment.):
IFor a frontal collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of driver air bag module (located in the center of the steer-
ing wheel), front passenger air bag module (located on the instrument panel on passenger side), front seat
belt pre-tensioners, a diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral cable.
I For a side collision
The Supplemental Restraint System consists of front side air bag module (located in the outer side of front
seat), side air bag (satellite) sensor, diagnosis sensor unit (one of components of air bags for a frontal
collision), wiring harness, warning lamp (one of components of air bags for a frontal collision).
WARNING:
I To 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 should be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN dealer.
I Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system.
I Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
Precautions for SRS ªAIR BAGº and ªSEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONERº Service
IDo not use electrical test equipment to check SRS circuits unless instructed to in this Service Manual.
I Before servicing the SRS, turn ignition switch ªOFFº, disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3
minutes.
For approximately 3 minutes after the cables are removed, it is still possible for the air bag and seat belt
pre-tensioner to deploy. Therefore, do not work on any SRS connectors or wires until at least 3 minutes
have passed.
I Diagnosis sensor unit must always be installed with their arrow marks ª +º pointing towards the front of
the vehicle for proper operation. Also check diagnosis sensor unit for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required.
I The spiral cable must be aligned with the neutral position since its rotations are limited. Do not attempt to
turn steering wheel or column after removal of steering gear.
I Handle air bag module carefully. Always place driver and front passenger air bag modules with the pad
side facing upward and place front side air bag module (built-in type) standing with stud bolt side setting
bottom.
I Conduct self-diagnosis to check entire SRS for proper function after replacing any components.
I After air bag inflates, the front instrument panel assembly should be replaced if damaged.
Precautions
IBefore proceeding with disassembly, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission. It is important to
prevent the internal parts from becoming contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter.
I Disassembly should be done in a clean work area.
I Use lint-free cloth or towels for wiping parts clean. Common shop rags can leave fibers that could inter-
fere with the operation of the transmission.
I Place disassembled parts in order for easier and proper assembly.
I All parts should be carefully cleaned with a general purpose, non-flammable solvent before inspection or
reassembly.
I Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the transmission is disassembled.
I It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.
I The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place removed parts in a parts rack in order to replace them in correct positions and sequences. Care will
also prevent springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.
I Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.
PREPARATION AND PRECAUTIONS
