REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
2. Precautions in spot welding HSSThis work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:
The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according to
the metal thickness.
The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no gaps.
Follow the specifications for the proper welding pitch.

PROHIBITION OF CUT AND CONNECTION
Never cut and joint the lower lock pillar reinforcement (center pillar reinforcement inside frame parts) because
its material is high strength steel plate (ultra high strength steel plate).
The center pillar reinforcement must be replaced if this part is damaged.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
CORROSION PROTECTION
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006248490
To provide improved corrosion prevention, the follo wing anti-corrosive measures have been implemented in
NISSAN production plants. When repairing or replacing body panels, it is necessary to use the same anti-cor-
rosive measures.
Anti-Corrosive Precoated Steel (Galvannealed Steel)
To improve repairability and corrosi on resistance, a new type of anti-
corrosive precoated steel sheet is adopted replacing conventional
zinc-coated steel sheet.
Galvannealed steel is electroplated and heated to form Zinc-iron
alloy, which provides excellent and long term corrosion resistance
with cationic electrodeposition primer.
NISSAN genuine parts are fabricated from galvannealed steel. Therefore, it is recommended that NISSAN
genuine parts or an equivalent be used for panel replacem ent to maintain the anti-corrosive performance built
into the vehicle at the factory.
Phosphate Coating Treatment and Cationic Electrodeposition Primer
A phosphate coating treatment and a cationic electrodeposition
primer, which provide excellent corrosion protection, are applied to
all body components.
CAUTION:
Confine paint removal during we lding operation to an absolute
minimum.
NISSAN genuine parts are also treated in the same manner. Therefore, it is recommended that NISSAN gen-
uine parts or an equivalent be used for panel replacement to maintain anti-corrosive performance built into the
vehicle at the factory.
Anti-corrosive WaxINFOID:0000000006248491
To improve corrosion resistance, anti-corrosive wax is applied inside the body sill and inside other closed sec-
tions. Accordingly, when replacing these parts, be sure to apply anti-corrosive wax to the appropriate areas of
the new parts. Select an excellent anti-corrosive wax which will penetrate after application and has a long shelf
life.
