The engine number is where the engine flange mates with the transmission flange. Behind the radiator. You will see MR20 followed by a 6-digit number and a letter stamped on the metal. Something is wrong with your info bro. At the moment, one cannot import a 2009 vehicle into Trinidad. The Nissan Blu...

Great forum for the Fielder and Axio Hybrid. Respect. Both Fielder and Axio carry Chassis code NKE165. Please bear in mind that the engine is essentially the 1NZ engine that Toyota using about 15 years now, albeit with modifications for Hybrid use. Check this site for some useful info: https://www.t...

If you have 2 rows of tubes from the top tank to the bottom tank, then it is a double row.
If you have only one, then you have..................................you guessed it !!

Read in yesterday's Express what Franklin Khan said. Just remember there is this government official who is bent on removing the "subsidy" on gasoline, though throughout the history of budget presentations in T&T, no one ever volunteered to say what is subsidy, and what is real price. ...

Respect to adnj's post: Fuel savings, yes, but the clutch was added to allow larger alternators on smaller engines. The larger alternators are susceptible to premature wear without one. The clutch also helps to extend the life of the belt and every device on that belt. They also smooth out the engin...

This is the final chapter on the 2ZR alternator. The alternator was installed on the engine and driven for about 20 miles. Then it burnt. The battery light came on. The alternator was smelling burnt. It was removed from the engine and sent to me. Took it back to the auto-electrician. The rectifier w...

Just remember, when the government closes the refinery and has to import gasoline at International prices, ship, store and distribute it, then have no "subsidy", the price at the pump will more than double.
Don't say I did not warn you !

make meh care. Thanks. This is more sophisticated than I thought. Initially alternators had external regulators, like the old-time generators had. Then the regulators started being built in as solid-state electronics progressed. There were three wires on the alternator. The heavy charge-back wire, t...

limbobreak, hahaha ! The 2ZZ is history. While I still enjoy it, there are many cars with engines out there that will have me reading their rear number plates. Everything is stock. A/T. ....too, I am wrong about the 2ZZ alternator. The plug has 3 wires instead of 4 and is shaped differently. Still, ...

My niece has a 1800 cc Fielder ZRE-142. Recently her alternator started making noise. He mechanic told her it was the alternator bearing, so she contacted me for help. I took the car to the auto electrician, and it was pointed out to me that that type of alternator has a grooved pulley with a built-...

A quick idea of gas consumption.
Friend of mine had a 1500cc Tiida which his wife drove from Iere Village in Princes Town to Rio Claro every day.
......You know the horrible terrain and traffic.
The gas cost per week was TT$100.
She has an Aqua now.
The gas cost is now TT$40.
End of story.

This is a Nissan that is not produced for the Japanese market.
So the chance of getting one Ro-ro is almost 0.
Mainly produced for the RHD markets.

Sounds like an electrical problem. The NZE141 has electric steering. Your battery is OK I suppose.......still under warranty. Too, it starts the car. When you turn the steering the steering motor takes a lot of current. If the supply is not enough, the ignition system suffers and the car shuts off. ...

Subject to correction: Both have been produced simultaneously. The Z carries a different style of rim, and a pattern on the seat fabric. That is all the difference I can see. Honda Sensing (TM) is optional on all models X, Z, G, RS with exception of S model. The G and S are not Hybrids. Honda Sensin...

2014/5 Vezel X cost approx. US$18,500 shipped to T&T.

The fan ALWAYS pulls air through the radiator and blows toward the engine. This is why there is a cowl/shroud, to prevent it pulling air from the sides. Clockwise or anti-clockwise will not matter, as there is a possibility that the angle on various fan blades may be different. Too, when the car is ...

The handbrake lever has a rectangular shroud made of fabric/leatherette surrounding it against the console. The perimeter is made if a springy wire. Remove it.

There are servomotors that control air flow for the climate control system, by opening and closing little baffles over the ports. Maybe you have a bad one. When you hear the noise coming, change the air control from face to feet or whatever. In this way you may be able to give a little more info to ...
