"A powerful quality machine"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

-Engine makes "Ticking" noise

-Window actuator failed

-Air Bag lamp illuminated

General comments?

The ticking noise started out as just an annoyance when the car was started, then as time went by it started sounding like a Diesel and the noise didn't go away when it was warmed up. After a noticable loss of power I finally had it looked at. Becasue the VTC's had failed, it burnt the lifters which were causing the noise. $1200 repair to the engine. Nissan has come out with a retro-fit to fix the "ticking noise", fix it before it becomes really expensive!

-Shut the driver side door, window fill into the door..$100.

-Air bag lamp... still blinking.

To fix the Airbag blinking light you need to do the following: 1) open the driverside door with the car "ON". 2) find the switch on the lower door sill that controls the interior lights. 3) Press this in for 1sec and release for 7 sec. repeat this 7 times and this should reslove the problem. The guy I bought the car from did this for me and it worked. If this does not work then you may want to try a local repair shop.
