    Immobiliser lamp lit

    I'd suggest that the ECU is fried for whatever reason. The fans spinning could be some sort of engine protection. NATS can't communicate with a brick, hence the immobilizer light flashing. On other makes, an aftermarket radio would pull the K-line low and mess with the car.

    Very slow Acceleration and Rev Count

    The fix is to replace the catalytic converter (could be a bit expensive) or remove the innards out of the thing (most likely won't pass MOT after that). It's the big metal can bolted to the exhaust header. Always verify before doing anything though. If you have access to a borescope, you could...

    Very slow Acceleration and Rev Count

    Probably the front catalytic converter is partially plugged/melted. Very common problem on these, both the 1.5l and the 1.8l.

    Hi, Is this an N15 (1995 to 2000) model or N16 (2000 to 2005)? I'm assuming it's a N16 since the majority of N15 cars have turned to rust probably by now. I'm just going to ramble what I can remember off the top of my head: Drivetrain stuff: If 1.5 engine: Listen for gearbox noises, they have...

    Fixing a gear shift return spring

    IIRC you have to pull the exhaust heat shield to get to it. Very common part to fail as these cars get older and after that the gear stick wont return to center properly.

    GTi badge - 96' N15

    OEM number is 90896-1N019 if that is of any help. Got a couple of google hits with that.

    Really Struggling for Rear Axle control arm N16 1.5... Help

    Correct part number is probably 55130-BM400 if that helps. I checked Amayama (they sell OEM Nissan stuff) but they only list the bushings for the lateral link. I guess a donor car is the next best option if scrapyards don't have it.

    Just to say hi, I'm a newbie. Is my Almera a vvt or not???.

    The later models (facelift with dark single-piece headlights) have the VVT. Power wise the VVT models also have 72kW instead of 60-something kW iirc. EDIT: And well, the best visual sign is that the VVT models have a "beer can" on the intake sprocket instead of just a plain sprocket.

    Asaptive lights priblwm

    So the height adjustment does not work? Most probably seized or broken adjustment motor in the headlight. Have someone turn the height adjustment knob and try listening if there's any sounds at the stuck headlight. If there's noise but no movement, most likely stripped gears or broken...

    P0171 running lean

    Hi Gonzo, Could be a MAF problem: https://almeraownersclub.com/threads/mass-air-flow-sensor-issue.51327/ You did change the sensors, but if the MAF is ok, have a look at this thread: https://almeraownersclub.com/threads/eml-after-a-break-on-a-long-journey-2005-1-5se-n16.51595/

    New Almera Tino owner

    Some 1.8 engines suffered from having a warped cylinder (number 4) due to overtorquing certain bolts during the assembly process. Check your spark plugs, if number four looks worse than the rest then it's that. I have seen some 1.8s with jammed piston oil control rings as well. If the...

    Subframe gti

    To clarify where I got the info; http://nissan4u.com/parts/info/5440150C10/ The smaller engines have a different part number (544010M010) for the subframe. I'm not too sure what the differences are.

    Subframe gti

    The N15 front subframe is the same regardless of engine. EDIT: Actually, no, sorry. I looked too quickly. You can use the subframe from a N14 Sunny, they have the same part number as the GTi Almera.

    Hello from South East UK! Bought a fixer upper GTi

    Alright, solid stuff anyway! :) I had an Almera which was AP0, an amazing metallic red color but unfortunately the detailing bug bit me after I scrapped it so I never got to see it in its' full glory.

    Hello from South East UK! Bought a fixer upper GTi

    The Micra looks great! Is the GTi a faded standard red or metallic red, color code AP0? Can't wait to see paint restoration magic done on it either way. :) Be sure to check the "bat caves" in the trunk for rust. What I mean by this are the rear shock towers and surrounding areas behind the...

    greetings from norway

    Ok so injector pulse is missing. The FSM unfortunately seems to be pretty vague about injector control... Does the engine sound normal when cranking? Do the injector connectors have battery voltage on one of the pins? E: Liam beat me to it ;)

    Old fuel? Does it have spark and injector pulse?
