need advice on reviving sentra series 3

[carguy101]

also, a bit OT but i have another question: when i was looking at the instrument panel wala ako nakita tachometer. wala ba talaga tachometer ang sentra? or hindi stock ang instrument cluster ko?

by the way super saloon ang trim level ng sentra ko. or was it super saloon SE...

my base model 97 ex had none. the same-year super saloon had.
so what do you really have, kaya?

i dont think its an ex saloon, but the ex saloon is a 1.4 fuel injected right? and does it have power windows?

more details about the car: it has power steering, power windows, power mirrors, auto retract mirrors, keyless entry, and the ga16dne 1.6 engine...

i know the models are:
FE (carbureted, came out late 1997 i think)
EX saloon (1.4 EFI, 1995-?)
Super Saloon (1.6, 1995-?)
Super Saloon SE (1.6, 1995-?)
Super Touring (1.6, 1997-? with nissan lucino style bumpers, unlikely that i have this model)
GTS (1.6, 1998 i think-? unlikely that i have this, my sentra doesnt look "GT" to me)

it has to be either a super saloon or super saloon se...

Bumili ka na lang ng oil filter wrench.

natanggal na din finally!

now, a few more questions. can i start it? wala ba masisira if i do? and what should i expect to do sa makina after making it run? (like overhaul, etc)

kailangan ba kalasin ang makina? hindi ba magagasgasan ang cylinder wall kasi meron kalawang or something?

update, ibababa ko bukas ang gas tank para hugasan. grabe kasi madumi sa loob.

also, when i siphoned the gas grabe ang baho! whats worse, nun nasa jerry can (tama ba spelling? hehehe) na siya dinala ko sa gas station para itapon. on the way there grabe ang singaw ng amoy nandidilim paningin ko habang nagmamaneho kahit naka windows down nako... sayang almost 1/4 tank of gas that just went stale, what a waste...

im also planning to buy a new fuel pump assembly, mahal kaya yun? kapag fuel pump only lng kasi 1.2k. baka abutin pa ako ng 10k if yung buong assembly.

If you manage to crank the engine, do a compression test (wet and dry) that will give you an idea kung kailangan ang general overhaul, top overhaul or baka naman okay pa condition ng engine

yet another update: earlier today, i got so impatient i wanted to hear the sentra run. so ginawa ko, i dissected the fuel pump of my altis, linagay ko sa isang tabo tapos kinonect ko sa fuel line and wiring ng sentra. clamps on of course...

i then pressurized the system (on then off about 3 times) tapos when i was about to start it, *pssssshhhhhhhh* *pop* pumutok ang fuel line...

*sigh* better luck next time...

update again, napa-start ko na yung car finally!

pero ang lakas ng buga ng hangin sa butas ng oil cap kapag nakatanggal... blowby? piston ring kaya or valve?

yehehey!!!

another update: di na umaangat ang clutch nya kapag tinatapakan, i think the clutch really is rusted to the flywheel... anyone knows of a method to free the clutch? nang hindi sana ibababa ang tranny...

if the cable is in good condition, i think you have no choice but to open it up.

ohh... i wont attempt to do that myself as im short of tools to do so (no jack stands, etc)

would you know kaya how long it would take for a mechanic to change the clutch and replace the throw-out bearing?

just to up this thread, napalitan ko na ang clutch last week,



the clutch isnt worn down to the rivets yet, and the pressure plate might only need resurfacing. maybe in the future i could reuse them...
