Foam RepairINFOID:0000000012430795
During factory assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the vehicle.
Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.
URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS
Use commercially available Urethane foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle.
Read instructions on product for fill procedures.
NOTE:
Refer to the label on the urethane foam container for information on working times.
FILL PROCEDURES
Example of foaming agent filling operation procedure:
1. Fill procedures after installation of service part.
a. Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material (A) or fill enough to close gap with the service
part.
b. Clean area after eliminating form insulator and foam material. 3M™

CORROSION PROTECTION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000012430798
To provide improved corrosion prevention, the following anti-corrosive measures have been implemented in
NISSAN production plants. When repairing or replacing body panels, it is necessary to use the same anti-cor-
rosive measures.
Anti-Corrosive Precoated Steel (Galvannealed Steel)
To improve repairability and corrosion resistance, a new type of anti-
corrosive precoated steel sheet has been adopted replacing conven-
tional zinc-coated steel sheet.
Galvannealed steel is electroplated and heated to form Zinc-iron
alloy, which provides excellent and long term corrosion resistance
with cationic electrodeposition primer.
Nissan Genuine Service Parts are fabricated from galvannealed steel. Therefore, it is recommended that
GENUINE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain the anti-corrosive perfor-
mance built into the vehicle at the factory.
Phosphate Coating Treatment and Cationic Electrodeposition Primer
A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrodepositi on primer, which provide excellent corrosion pro-
tection, are employed on all body components.
CAUTION:
Confine paint removal during weld ing operations to an absolute
minimum.
Nissan Genuine Service Parts are also treated in the same manner. Therefore, it is recommended that GENU-
INE NISSAN PARTS or equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corrosive performance built
into the vehicle at the factory.
Anti-Corrosive WaxINFOID:0000000012430799
To improve corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive wax is applied inside the body sill and inside other closed sec-
tions. Accordingly, when replacing these parts, be sure to apply anti-corrosive wax to the appropriate areas of

DescriptionINFOID:0000000012430802
This section is prepared for technicians who have attained a high level of skill and experience in repairing col-
lision-damaged vehicles and also use modern service tools and equipment. Persons unfamiliar with body
repair techniques should not attempt to repair collision-damaged vehicles by using this section.
Technicians are also encouraged to read Body Repair M anual (Fundamentals) in order to ensure that the orig-
inal functions and quality of the vehicle can be mainta ined. The Body Repair Manual (Fundamentals) contains
additional information, including cautions and warning, that are not including in this manual. Technicians
should refer to both manuals to ensure proper repairs.
Please note that these information are prepared for wo rldwide usage, and as such, certain procedures might
not apply in some regions or countries.

REPLACEMENT OPERATIONS
• Front pillar butt joint can be determined anywhere within shadedarea (A) as shown in the figure. The best location for the butt joint
is at position (B) due to the construc tion of the vehicle. Refer to the
front pillar section.
• Determine cutting position and record distance from the locating indent (A). Use this distance when cutting the service part. Cut
outer front pillar over 60 mm above inner front pillar cut position
(B).
• Prepare a cutting jig to make outer pillar easier to cut. Also, this will permit service part to be accurately cut at joint position.
• An example of cutting operation using a cutting jig is as follows.
1. Mark cutting lines. A: Cut position of outer pillar
B: Cut position of inner pillar
2. Align cutting line with notch on jig. Clamp jig to pillar.
3. Cut outer pillar along groove of jig. (At position A)
4. Remove jig and cut remaining portions.
5. Cut inner pillar at position in same manner.

A mark has been placed on each part of the body to indi cate the vehicle center. When repairing parts dam-
aged by an accident which might affect the vehicle frame (me mbers, pillars, etc.), more accurate and effective
repair will be possible by using these marks t ogether with body alignment specifications.

• All dimensions indicated in the figures are actual.
• When using a tracking gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length. Then check the pointers and gauge itself
to make sure there is no free play.
• When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure there is no elongation, twisting or bending.
• Measurements should be taken at the center of the mounting holes.
• An asterisk (*) following the value at the measuring point indicates that the measuring point on the other side
is symmetrically the same value.
• The coordinates of the measurement points are the distances measured from the standard line of ″ X″, ″Y ″
and ″Z ″.
