Thanks for the video, do you need to do a throttle position re-learn after disconnecting the throttle body?.. What a pain in the arse job otherwise!.

[@jetblack11td]

Hello CN.... No the throttle has been fine.... no adjustments required has been running much better since, mind you the old plugs weren't good...all the best ...Trevor

I just went to do this job on my 2010 Dualis...pulled it all off to find my spark plug socket didn't fit down the bloody hole .... what a shit design Nissan and a complete pain in the backside. I found your video afterwards unfortunately.

Hello ....Yeah these thin wall sockets are used on a lot of motors...trouble is if you don't have a good car parts/tools shop local and it's a Sunday Ahhhhh....!!! All the best.....Trevor

I attempted to remove the exposed plug to check the condition, same thing, just a couple plugs the coil and the hose to get back to square one lol.. they build them this way to get in the way of DIY dudes like us,, cant blame them. the agent can charge mega to change plugs..!!

What a pain in the arse job just to change the plugs.

Typical really as I understand it it's a Renault engine...plastic manifold covering the plugs why would anyone design it that way? still needed to be done car runs much better now...

Hello to be honest they are a comfortable car, nice seats etc and most service parts are cheap enough as they share suspension parts with the T31 X-trail same wishbones ball joints etc....just not very exciting...mind you my only previous Nissan was a R33 GTST Skyline, just a bit more like it! All the best....Trevor

@@jetblack11td Our main car is a 2.0 Insignia diesel, can't fault that either... it's never let us down👍🏼

@@jetblack11td maybe for torque? it is a 16v motor, and needs a lot length of intake runner , for air, to produce nice torque at low revs.
