CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-86, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during mea- surement.
4. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-42, "
IGNITION COIL" and EM-43,
"SPARK PLUG (PLATINUM-TIPPED TYPE)" .
6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
7. Install compression gauge with an adapter (commercial service tool) onto spark plug hole.

Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plug
hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. Turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cylinder.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.

If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-746, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
a. Remove fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during measure- ment.
3. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-173, "
ENGINE ROOM COVER" .
4. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-191, "
IGNITION COIL" and EM-192,
"SPARK PLUG (PLATINUM-TIPPED TYPE)" .
5. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
6. Install compression gauge with adapter (SST or commercial ser- vice tool) onto spark plug hole.

Use compression gauge adapter (SST) which is required on
No. 7 and 8 cylinders.

Use compression gauge adapter (if no SST is used) whose
picking up end inserted to spark plug hole is smaller than 20
mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be caught by cyl-
inder head during removal.
7. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cyl-
inder.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.

FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLYPFP:54010
On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceNES000I3
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component conditions
(wear, damage) are normal.
INSPECTION LOWER BALL JOINT END PLAY
1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal.
2. Place an iron bar or similar tool between transverse link and steering knuckle.
3. Measure axial end play by prying it up and down.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
STRUT INSPECTION

Check strut for oil leakage, damage and replace if there are. Refer to FSU-11, "COIL SPRING AND
STRUT" .
Wheel Alignment InspectionNES000I4
DESCRIPTION

Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions.
NOTE:
Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and
mats are designated positions.
PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check tires for improper air pressure and wear.

Check road wheels for runout.

Check wheel bearing axial end play.

Check ball joint axial end play of compression rod, upper link, and steering knuckle

Check shock absorber operation.

Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation.

Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage.

Check vehicle posture.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A four-wheel thrust alignment should be performed.
–This type of alignment is recommended for any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The four-wheel “thrust” process helps ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned and the steering wheel is
centered.
–The alignment rack itself should be capable of accepting any NISSAN/INFINITI vehicle.
–The rack should be checked to ensure that it is level.

Make sure the machine is properly calibrated.
–Your alignment equipment should be regularly calibrated in order to give correct information.
–Check with the manufacturer of your specific equipment for their recommended Service/Calibration
Schedule. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)

Aiming AdjustmentNKS002VS
PREPARATION BEFORE ADJUSTING
For details, refer to the regulations in your own country.
Before performing aiming adjustment, check the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to correct pressures.
2. Place vehicle on level ground.
3. Set that there is no-load in vehicle other than the driver (or equivalent weight placed in driver's position). Coolant, engine oil filled up to correct level and full fuel tank.
LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM
1. Turn headlamp low beam ON.
CAUTION:
Be sure aiming switch is set to “0” when performing aiming
adjustment.
2. Use adjusting screws to perform aiming adjustment.

FRONT FOG LAMP
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Aiming AdjustmentNKS002X9
Front fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb. Before performing aiming
adjustment, make sure of the following.

Keep all tires inflated to correct pressure.

Place vehicle on level ground.

See that vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack, and
tools). Have the driver or equivalent weight placed in driver seat.
Adjust aiming in the vertical direction by turning adjusting screw.
1. Set the distance between the screen and the center of front fog lamp lens as shown at left.
2. Turn front fog lamps ON.
3. Adjust front fog lamps using adjusting screw so that the top edge of the high intensity zone is 100 mm (3.94 in) below the height of
front fog lamp centers as shown at left.

When performing adjustment, if necessary, cover headlamps
and opposite front fog lamp.
