Aftermarket fender or original fender is the big question sometimes. I want to keep as much original metal as possible. Plus the goal is to have a running driving car for under $6,000 which is my budget for this car. So spending over 500 for a set of “new” fenders is out of the question. Doing the labor myself on my free time means it’s cheaper for me to strip down and work with the originals than to just slap aftermarket ones on it.

Thank you for the tip. First time anyone has commented on this but I’ll keep it in mind for future videos. Thanks for the support. Feel free to like, share, and subscribe.

Thank you for the input. Simple explanations are great. Also anyone doing this sort of work should have a repair manual for reference. Like i said in the video, i did not see this particular diagram on my shop manual so I decided to make this video to illustrate the process. A lot of people like visualization so showing the marks on the chain and on the sprockets helps them out as well. Thank you for the views, feel free to like, subscribe, and share.

the chain on my 2003 Nissan Sentra qg18de didn't have paint for the intake and exhaust. So for the sake of sparing people from taking the bottom timing cover off I gave a link count for the folks that have that chain. Another note, you can get a picture of the chain from eBay, Amazon or whatever and count the links that way. There's another nugget that might be helpful.

I just searched on ebay, you can probably find it on amazon or the big auto part stores

Glad it helped you out. Thank you for the support

My favorite all around vehicle

Glas you got something out of it.

I found it on facebook marketplace. Paid 300 for it

Yo le puse los mas varratos que encontre en rockauto.com. Depende si la tulla fue assemblada antes de febrero 1995 o despues de marso 1995 son differente. Si miras el esticker en la puerta del manejador, ahi tiena la information de assembla.

Yeah, took care of the leaks and the chassis has no rust underneath either

It doesn’t have to be removed, just tucked out of the way. No idea if they are stretch bolts. I used my old ones.

@@dailyhondas1480 ok fair enough 😂 thanks gain for the nice walkthrough 👌🏽

I don’t think I showed that. The fuse block next to the battery snaps onto the battery tray.

@@dailyhondas1480 ohhh ok cool!! I’ll have to look a little better today. Thanks for the videos!! I’m in the middle of doing this!

Thank you for the support.

Glad this video helped you out.

Thanks for the tip. Yes I actually did a few things at the same time. Strut assemblies, bearings and hubs, disks and breaks. I just split each thing up into its own video to not make one long video. Checkout the Voyager playlist on my channel for other videos on this project. Thank you for watching

@@dailyhondas1480 Yeah makes sense if you're replacing the wheel bearings too. I saw the new hub bearings and thought you should have replaced them together with the struts. Dah you did. You are making for a good reliable vehicle that can move people like a car or carry stuff like a truck. All at a reasonable price and with free labor, well not exactly free but doing it yourself you control the cost. Good job.

I used an aftermarket. The fitment was good. The quality was not like oem. You can tell the aftermarket one is thinner metal, and there were some supports i had to cut out from my old support and weld them to the aftermarket one. Over all i was happy with it.mine was completely destroyed. It looked like it had taken more than one hit and pulled back into place.

@@dailyhondas1480 thank you, it looks like I’ll get an aftermarket one from eBay. Mine has “minor” damage on the bottom of the support after the previous owner ran over a large tree branch. The dent is minor but may be the reason the gap line between the hood and right fender is pinched off.

Thank you for the views. Lol, yeah that would be a lot easier if i had that equipment, but the spirit of this project and these videos is to show people that you don’t need a million dollar shop and expensive tools to restore a car. Thank you for the support and feel free to share with others.

i have a 2012 nissan versa

P0101 is mass air flow sensor i think. P0301 is Miss fire cylinder 1.

@@dailyhondas1480 i had a rough idle.. and was jerking a lot.. slow & rough acceleration .. changed MAF, spark plugs and coil packs.. and still have the same issue.. what you think bro?

@@dailyhondas1480 honest opinion

Needs to be properly diagnosed. I would have someone with a professional diagnostic scan tool go through the systems and see where the faults are. Hand held engine code readers are very limited when it comes to newer cars. Could be anything from a faulty cam or crank position sensor, faulty electronic throttle body or a number of other things. I wouldn’t throw parts at it until you got a diagnosis done. My sentra needed the electronic throttle body calibrated into the computer because it would not accelerate past 2,800 rpm. Not saying this is your issue, just giving an example of issues that electronic systems can cause. Good luck. DIY mechanics are not dead yet but there is more to cars these days than just checking for spark and fuel like the good old days unfortunately.

The going rate for a long block at my local junkyard is about 280-350 depending if they charge you for any accessories or stuff like oil pan valve cover ect. Also some places charge you for a core (your old engine). I would say it took me about 16 hours give or take. Not counting the day at the junkyard pulling the donor engine and cleaning it up. Also, allow time for sealant to cure before adding fluids to the engine and starting it up. Most sealants need a 24 hour cure time at least. It took me a week to do the whole process but that was because i only had a few hours here and there in between school, work, and family schedules. Keep in mind that when you get your replacement engine, it is a good time to replace timing belt or chain, seals, water pump, gaskets ect while the engine is still out if the car. I didn’t do any of that on this engine because it had a factory “remanufactured engine” tag and there was a sticker on the valve cover from a shop that stated last timing belt change was less than 30,000 miles prior to what was on the odometer of the donor car, so I rolled the dice and put the engine in my Tiburon as it was. Got real lucky on this one. Hope it this helps thanks for the support. Like, share, subscribe. Sorry for the long reply.

Thank you for the support, I scored a roof rack from a 91 at the junkyard that should add some bling to it also. I love the older stainless steel stuff cars used to come with. Now it’s all chrome plastic.
