I have probably eclipsed the 2500 mark already and haven't even bought a tranny yet. I say go and get it Just make sure to look it over good.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 what to watch out for?what is the most important area to look for in rust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Check for rust under the battery tray, bottom of the fenders (esp. behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels), above the tail lights, under the hatch, and look very closely at the floors and frame rails. The fenders and floors are pretty easy (relative to your experience I guess), but the rear hatch area is more difficult. Hope this helps.

Georgia Flash Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hey guys another area that I recently found to contain a good deal of rust is where the heater/blower motor snorkles up to the hole in the cowl area. I discovered this little rusty problem when I removed my blower to do a little work on it. You will have to bend your head up and under the dash to see what area I am talking about. Just when you thought it was safe to assume that you had found all the places that rust lurks...another one pops up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 This would be kind of hard to check, but it seams everyone here who took their windshield off has found rust holes under it.Me included. This is probably where the water is coming from that rusts the floors out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Yea, I know my windshield leaks on the passenger floor everytime a hard and long lasting rainstorm hits. If the owner will let you; take it to car wash and spend a few dollars giving it a hard "Rainstorm" simulation. You may want to have a friend blasting the windows, windshield and rear hatch while you are inside looking and listening for leaks. Another thing; if this is to be a car driven in traffic; then you will want the A/C Heater ducts to transition from defroster, to vents to the floor. Make sure that works as best I remember; Nissan doesnt make remanufactured A/C Heater parts so this means an aftermarket or finding a doner car where its A/C & Heater unit does function; AKA-Pain in the Butooski! Make sure the electricals are in order: head light dim/brights switch back and forth, wipers, interior lights, map light, blinkers, back-up lights, and rear hatch defroster work-if you can. That's all I can think of. Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
