my evil relatives go changed everything n sell off sport rims n rear big speaker
beware of these people in kanowit!they worked in workshop (i dunno wat name)
got con case pm me
now my grandfather driving this in sibu

probably your mechanic didnt replace the seals on the distributor side. and open the distributor cap to see if theres any oil in int. femes B14 GA16DE problem.

finally check the oil cap for creamy substance.....if yes then there is a leakage in your coolant system. start from top down inspection, dont just 'overhaul'. Good Luck

B14 auto gearbox usually no problem if its properly taken care of as in the gearbox oil get changed regularly (stipulated service interval). problems are like extremely hard shifting, refusal to shift etc etc.

If its a soft knocking noise (extremely soft) then your engine is 'knocking' that you can blame on the fuel....you need a timing adjustment (retard timing). otherwise I guess its one of your accessory belt or belts. good luck

this one is correct, it retains your gear ratio to third gear. lower ratio = higher speed....like some ppl rev the engine to death or someones aunty always driving in 1st gear and dunno why the engine die

good luck I have been looking for a good setup and found none. nothing last any period of time. you want comfort stick with original. but I would check all bushings and suspension mounts the same time.

the rear suspension is terrible in a B14 because it has an extremely short travel, which equates to riding on bumpstops if you are full seated ( duduk 4 orang) again good luck



SIBU alleged CON JOB

Settle Sibu style. If you need to ask, you are not from East Malaysia

I have nissan sentra B14 GA16 engine 1995 Auto gear.The FC too high,sometime have black smoke.engine stop at traffic light.My mechanic said some sensor have problem.I bought consult from internet then used this consult to check.
Diagnostic trouble code shows CODE 11 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ERROR.My mechanic and my self have
seach for this sensor location hours but cannot found the sensor location.He said normally at gear box near flywheel or at engine block.but we found nothing.Need help if anybody know where is this Sensor are really located.Thanks

its inside the distributor cap......there should be an oil seal failure in there. you have to replace the whole assembly, dun buy potong kereta one. Long run new is cheaper. Source for it in spare part shops.

wah since got a lot of sifu n pro here i wana ask sum stuff about my 97 sentra.i jus got it n wana noe wat is d first thing i sud do or check for cuz d car seems to b in great condition except the absorber cuz dam loud when go thru bumps. oh n i noticed when i reach 120kmh++ d rpm meter is stuck at 3k even though im stepping max on accelerator bt speed still increasing la lol, whats going on?

n what r d things i can fix to ensure d car is functioning at its best ie change oil/air filter or wat to maintain? thanks guys for any advice

Do a leak down test. Not many workshops do it. If they ask you what is it...means you have to find another mechanic.

Suspension noise, check all your bushings and suspension mount.

Check your wiring with regards to the meter.

Check your distributor for oil. If yes, see if you can find someone to change the oil seal. Then refer the guy to me .

Change the gearbox oil to synthetic transmission oil (I know more expensive).

Change to 10-60 engine oil and use original/OEM oil filter fake ones are known to collapse (I know more expensive).

Change brake fluid and check brake lines/ disc/ drum. check brake pads. break in the pads gently if you do change them.

Change all the coolant hoses( theres a few behind the intake manifold and engine block) Change radiator fluid remember to add long life coolant (I know very expensive).

Once the suspension is fixed go to a proper alignment shop. Not just any tire shop.

The alignment for the rear of the B14 cannot be adjusted unless you want to use a hydraulic jack. and not everyone can do this because you need to rig the torsion arm its hollow. you jack that it will be crushed.

Buy the best tires you can afford, it helps in the overall handling of the vehicle. It also helps in the braking department.
160-200 a piece is about right. if you have to upgrade your rims....go 15" best for performance and ride but range of available tires are limited. 16" is max with that size your turning radius would be dramatically reduced.

Whatever you do, dont use those lowering springs. The rear has only an inch of travel. so guess what happens if you do choose to lower your ride.

Most important check for chocolate mousse in the oil. means your cylinder head is kaput, if someone says the cracked cylinder head can be fixed I would like to meet him and stick it up his X@#.

With that Good Luck. Its a great car, better then the civics trust me.

Oh adjust your timing based on your fuel.

OMG thank you sifu! I AM FAVOURITING THIS POST

oh yah wiring was abit faulty my engine kept trying to die on me but sent back to dealer (friend of mom) who sent the car back to fix n it was fine d. but still the dashboard gear indicator died d, need to fix that, if not at night cant see what gear i am at LOL.

ill check what u mentioned, n btw what do u mean adjust your timing based on your fuel?

if you plan on using ron 95 you might need to retard your timing, otherwise the GA16DE you can advance it further to get more 'power'. As standard the timing is RETARDED (pun intended)

yeah im actually using 95 a lot, i just read on nissanforums.com about how to retard timing.. what's the setting for the timing if i wana use 95?

oh wait standard its already retardED right? LOL. seriously, so donit to advance yeah?

a lot of terminologies here I still abit blur haha.. do u still drive ur Sentra? where do u send it for regular maintenance or doing ur tests/fixes?

DIY when have time, if bigger job 'cincai' find one mechanic with correct tools.

You can try advancing till it pings then step back a notch. there are no timing marks only notches.

Good Luck

have open the cap but there are plactic cover.how to remove the cover to check internal parts.just pull only ke.You mention to replace the whole assembly that means to replace the distributor one set ke.Sorry asking bodoh question.
thanks

noted .....

I got new issue,
2002 N16

the engine lite (yellow colour, not the red with oil drop) is light up
the car / gear sudden jerk / lag (sth like engine off during driving)
the yellow lite is up until i stop for dinner

den start back the lite go off...

anyone know wat happened ???

sorry no experience with N16. probably one of the sensors throwing a code. The list is just too long. I usually start from the top down. clean up intake manifold----> check MAF ----->ignition system ------> O2 sensor -------> fuel pump.......in between check wiring.



EVERYONE ELSE =P

need pricing on parts if you have it please for GA16DE B14 Sentra. Going to revive old faithful, one of my cars got stolen

Checked radiator empty, coolant hoses all taken <removed>, gonna trickle charge the battery and change all fluids (EO), all brake pads, coolant hoses, all dampers. and tires.

Service aircon then Puspakom.

my b14 (auto) face one problem, when my car speed reach 60km/h (oil pedal press about half around 2500rpm) it straight away running 4th gear, during uphill also same problem i press more oil still not go back to 3rd gear....
is it transmission problem or wat? How much is the price for changing a new gear box?

sent to TCSC
diagnosed

changed crank sensor...RN222 gone

hello my nissan B14 GA16 Today replace Ignition Distributor bought from Potong Kedai cos ny mechanic said it better than brand new Taiwan made.After fixed /test etc engine running OK,I take the car and drive home.Alamat'after 1km.car start jerking and later engine stop.start also cannot.I call back the mechanic,he came and replace back my old Distributor.so I can drive car to my home.I think I will used Taiwan made Distributor maybe after raya,now all workshop are fully booking busy for balik kpg servicing.may be others B14 owners also have the same experience with potong parts

i using the recond part...with 3month warranty...so far no oil leak...performance quite good.

the thick wires that goes into one plastic cap sticking out on the right hand side of the cylinder head. Just take off the cap and look for traces of oil.

turn off overdrive...its the button on the shift stick . If your mech says its transmission, time to post his name and shop address here. Change to a higher grade transmission oil. full synth if you can afford it.

Thanks for the update
