Have you already seen that file mechanicjon put together with the wiring and connectors and crap? If you've already seen it, tune me out

I can see you are quickly getting into a (pre-Renault)/Nissan state of mind.

 

Let me throw this out for someone in need. I found this double cab here in central Florida, and purchased two passenger doors and bed box. This truck is one owner, and has always lived in central Florida. There isn't a speck of rust on it. And I know rust, being from NY. Although it looks rough in front, it appeared to me that the other vehicle went high of the frame rails. I was lucky enough to have gotten a replacement, so I have no need, but, if I needed a replacement, this would be heading home with me!!!! I can't swear to it, but I think this frame will work for an extended cab as well, may have to relocate a couple of body or bed mounts if my memory serves.

 

Jumper harness? No. Connectors and pigtails unless it’s for accessories or recalls

 

Extended cab and double cab frames are the same, the body mounts just need to be cut off and moved

 

Leafs the same?

 

Same length. No idea spring rates

 

220 bucks after rebate for a x2 power battery... not bad


Tempting

 

I think I'm going to try using Toyota oil drain plug crush washers on the VQ30s next time. They both share a 14mm plug that looks the same. I want to standardize stuff like that for maintenance items. LOL.

 

I admire y'all for being strict with maintenance

I haven't replaced mine in years and it doesn't leak

 

There’s supposed to be a washer?

 

They’re part of Renault now? Wow

 

new season of Bojack tomorrow!!!

 

I ripped the water temperature sensor straight off the engine block when I was doing the supercharger. I went to the local dealer and somehow they had a coolant temp pigtail with a different connector on the other end by some miracle. The repair terminals and connector would’ve cost me $60, while this cost me $13. I got really lucky, they found it in the scrap bin new in the bag.

 

Yup. LOL

 

Oops

 

That’s just a regular spade connector

 

Everything was over the top and over engineered until they spent the company into financial crisis in 1999. Then "Le Cost Cutter" arrived and created the Renault- Nissan alliance. There are a few remnants of the Prince years still around. But I lost interest in any of the core products after 1999.

 

Crush Washer. No big deal if you don’t have it, a lil bit of oil might dribble out without it. Chances are you still have one, just once that is stuck to it from age. That happened to me once.

 

The Z31 is ridiculously overengineered. I’ve never seen a key tumbler with its own dedicated water drainage system before.
