REGULATOR VALVE INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect components for wear and damage.
2. Check oil pressure regulator valve sliding surface and valve
spring.

that it falls smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If damaged, replace regulator valve set or oil pump assembly.
OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSPECTION
Inspect oil pressure relief valve for movement, cracks and breaks
by pushing the ball. If replacement is necessary, remove valve by
prying it out with a screwdriver.
Install a new valve in place by tapping it.

PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION ITEMS
MA-2
Page 980 of 1226

General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating properly. The owners can perform the
checks and inspections themselves or they can have their NISSAN dealers do them.
Item Reference pages
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be performed from time to time, unless otherwise
speci®ed.
TiresCheck the pressure with a gauge periodically when at a service station, including the
spare, and adjust to the speci®ed pressure if necessary. Check carefully for damage, cuts or
excessive wear.Ð
Windshield wiper bladesCheck for cracks or wear if they do not wipe properly. Ð
Doors and engine hoodCheck that all doors, the engine hood, the trunk lid and back door
operate properly. Also ensure that all latches lock securely. Lubricate hinges, latches, rollers and
links if necessary. Make sure that the secondary latch keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
When driving in areas using road salt or other corrosive materials, check for lubrication fre-
quently.MA-27
Tire rotationTires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) for 4WD models. MA-25
INSIDE THE VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked on a regular basis, such as when per-
forming periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
LightsMake sure that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal lights, and other lights
are all operating properly and installed securely. Also check headlight aim.Ð
Warning lights and chimesMake sure that all warning lights and chimes are operating prop-
erly.Ð
Steering wheelCheck for change in the steering conditions, such as excessive free play, hard
steering or strange noises.
Free play: Less than 35 mm (1.38 in)Ð
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly, and are installed securely. Check the belt webbing for
cuts, fraying, wear or damage.MA-27
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically e.g. each time you check the
engine oil or refuel.
Windshield washer ¯uidCheck that there is adequate ¯uid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-14, 15
Engine oil levelCheck the level after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning off the
engine.MA-13, 14
Brake and clutch ¯uid levelMake sure that the brake and clutch ¯uid levels are between the
``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines on the reservoir.MA-20, 23
BatteryCheck the ¯uid level in each cell. It should be between the ``MAX'' and ``MIN'' lines. Ð
GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Disassembly
1. Remove side bearing inner cone with Tool.
2. Loosen ring gear bolts in a criss-cross pattern.
3. Tap ring gear off gear case with a soft hammer.
Tap evenly all around to keep ring gear from binding.
4. Loosen screws on differential cases A and B using a press.
5. Separate differential cases A and B. Draw out component parts
(discs and plates, etc.).
Put marks on gears, discs and plates so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were
removed.
Inspection
CONTACT SURFACES
1. Clean the disassembled parts in suitable solvent and blow dry
with compressed air.
2. If following surfaces are found with burrs or scratches, smooth
with oil stone.

V2Differential case B
V3Pressure ring
V4Thrust washer
V5Pinion mate shaft
V6Thrust block

(3) Install pinion mate gears, side gears and pinion mate shaft in
differential case B.
(4) Set dial indicator's tip on the side gear, and read the indication.
Example:
E = A þ D = A þ (B + C) = 0.05 to 0.15 mm
A = 49.52 mm
B = 19.45 mm
C = 29.7 mm
D=B+C E=AþD
B .... 19.45 A ..... 49.52
+C .... 29.7 þD .... 49.15
49.150.37
From the above equation, end play of 0.37 mm exceeds the speci-
®ed range of 0.05 to 0.15 mm.
Select suitable discs and plates to adjust correctly.
Assembly
Assemble differential case in the reverse order of disassembly,
observing the following.
1. As an aid to installation, apply sufficient amounts of recom-
mended limited slip differential gear oil (refer to MA section) to
the faces of pressure rings, discs and plates to be assembled
together.
2. Place differential case B on a level surface, then install thrust
washer.
3. Install spring plates, friction plates and friction discs.
Pay particular attention to the direction of clutch plates and
their assembly sequence.
