2. Move the following parts.
ITDC sensor harness
IPower steering oil pump
3. Remove the chain cover.
IRemove the holding bolts A to C shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
While the chain cover is removed, be careful not to allow entry
of dust or foreign objects.
4. Set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC.
1) Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and match the timing
indicator of the gear case to the timing mark of the crankshaft
pulley.
2) Make sure that the cam sprocket match mark is in the position
shown in the figure.
IIf the match mark is not in position, turn the crankshaft pulley
once more and position it.
IWhen removing at No. 1 cylinder TDC, each sprocket and chain
is fitted using the match mark, therefore there is no need to
apply any match marks beforehand.
5. Remove the chain tensioner.
1) Loosen upper and lower holding bolts.
2) Holding the chain tensioner in your hand, remove the upper
holding bolt and release the spring tension.
3) Remove the lower holding bolt, then remove the chain ten-
sioner.
IThe chain tensioner does not have a mechanism which pre-
vents the ejection of the plunger. (It does have a mechanism
which prevents the plunger from returning.)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop the plunger and spring.

Front Wheel Alignment
Before checking front wheel alignment, be sure to make a prelimi-
nary inspection.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation.
2. Check the wheel runout.
Wheel runout:
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
3. Check the front wheel bearings for looseness.
4. Check the front suspension for looseness.
5. Check the steering linkage for looseness.
6. Check that the front shock absorbers work properly by using
the standard bounce test.
7. Measure vehicle height (Unladen): H = A þ B mm (in)
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
(1) Exercise the front suspension by bouncing the front of the
vehicle 4 or 5 times to ensure that vehicle is in a neutral height
attitude.
(2) Measure wheel alignment.
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
(3) Measure vehicle posture ... Dimension ªHº.
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
If ªHº dimension is not within the specified value, readjust
vehicle posture using anchor arm adjusting nut.
Refer to ªINSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENTº, ªTorsion Bar
Springº, FA-31. Adjust wheel alignment if necessary.
(4) If wheel alignment is not as specified, but dimension ªHº is
correct, adjust wheel alignment.
CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION
Before checking camber, caster or kingpin inclination, move
vehicle up and down on turning radius gauge to minimize
friction. Ensure that vehicle is in correct posture (unladen
vehicle).
IMeasure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both
right and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge and
adjust in accordance with the following procedures.

TOE-IN
1. Mark a base line across the tread.
After lowering front of vehicle, move it up and down to elimi-
nate friction, and set steering wheel in straight ahead position.
2. Measure toe-in.
Measure distance ªAº and ªBº at the same height as hub cen-
ter.
Toe-in (Unladen):
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
Toe-in = A þ B
3. Adjust toe-in by varying the length of steering tie-rods.
(1) Loosen clamp bolts or lock nuts.
(2) Adjust toe-in by turning the left and right tie-rod tubes an equal
amount.
Make sure that the tie-rod bars are screwed into the tie-rod
tube more than 35 mm (1.38 in).
Make sure that the tie-rods are the same length.
Standard length (A = B):
287 mm (11.30 in)
(3) Tighten clamp bolts or lock nuts, to the specified torque.

forward until front wheels rest on turning radius gauge properly.
2. Rotate steering wheel all the way right and left; measure turn-
ing angle.
Wheel turning angle:
Refer to SDS, FA-39.
3. Adjust by stopper bolt if necessary.

6. Before servicing the vehicle, protect fenders, upholstery and
carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons on your person do
not scratch the paint.
7. Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
8. Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
9. Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and
needle bearings as a set.
10. Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their
assembled locations and sequence.
11. Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use
microcomputers (such as electronic control units).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
12. After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indi-
cate the proper connection.
13. Use only the lubricants specified in MA section.
14. Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents
when required.
15. Use tools and recommended special tools where specified for
safe and efficient service repairs.
16. When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
17. Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in
an appropriate manner.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) ªAIR
BAGº and ªSEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERº
(Dual Air Bag System)
The Supplemental Restraint System ªAir Bagº and ªSeat Belt Pre-
tensionerº, used along with a seat belt, help to reduce the risk or
severity of injury to the driver and front passenger in a frontal col-
lision. The Supplemental Restraint System consists of air bag mod-
ules (located in the center of the steering wheel and on the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side), seat belt pre-tensioners, a
diagnosis sensor unit, warning lamp, wiring harness and spiral
cable.
WARNING:
ITo avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could
increase the risk of personal injury or death (in the event
of a collision which would result in air bag inflation), all
maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN
dealer.
IImproper maintenance, including incorrect removal and
installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional activation of the system.
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related
to the SRS unless instructed to do so in this Service
Manual. SRS wiring harnesses are covered with yellow

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
GI-9

4-pole Lift
WARNING:
Do not use a 2-pole lift.
Due to weight balance of the vehicle and shape of underbody,
lift arms can not be attached in a safe way. Therefore it is rec-
ommended to use a 4-pole lift only.
Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
IAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
IIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid
possible damage to the vehicle during a towing operation.
IAttach safety chains for all towing.
IWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering
system and power train are in good order. If any unit is
damaged, a dolly must be used.
IWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Move both the gearshift and transfer levers to neutral (ªNº
position).
Turn the ignition key to the ªOFFº position and secure the
steering wheel in a straightahead position with a rope or
similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ªLOCKº
position. This will result in damage to the steering lock
mechanism.
IWhen towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release
the parking brake and move both the gearshift and trans-
fer levers to neutral (ªNº position).
INever tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four
wheels on the ground as this may cause serious and
expensive damage to the transmission.
