Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

I am quite familiar with the blinking. It blinks are indicating the number of tpms that are not fully accepted from the last re-registration. you need the vdo s like SamirD mentions. However, two weeks ago I posted under technical ; inexpensive tpms that work. Check it out. $27 for a set of four. Th...

Oil pressure light illuminating on off ramps

I had a 2010 GTS Kizashi 220k miles that the owner complained of the oil pressure light illuminating on off ramps and periodically other times on deceleration. I have seen this on three different cars now and the common denominator is high miles and maybe not the best of oil change intervals. The fi...

Re: Inner tie rod news

I don’t know what that entails. If you pay for the inner tie rod and shipping, I have no problem sending it but you might get bumped for import tax , duty, or whatever else they want to call it.

Re: Advice for My First Car

The Kizashi is a high quality car with the exception of the infamous Cvt built by Jatco/Nissan. These usually fail around 125,000 miles. it’s kind of sad to think about it. These could have been strengthened from the factory for probably only two dollars more per unit and would have lengthened the l...

Contagious transmission failure

I had a customer having his girls Kizashi towed in from Buffalo New York to my shop in PA for a CVT overhaul . It’s a 3 hr trip. The hired tow company wasn’t having a good night. The Dodge tilt bed made it within 1/2 hr of me and transmission gave up. His coworker brought the semi wrecker and drug t...

Re: inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

I think these are authentic VDO tire pressure monitors. I can only guess that there’s a factory in China that would’ve got an order for maybe 20,000 tire pressure monitors and they made 40,000 of them and just sold them out the back door. They probably don’t have to worry about Copyright and other t...

inexpensive tire pressure monitors that will work

The tire pressure monitor system on the Kizashi is very picky on the replacement sensor . While most cars had systems that would allow use of almost any brand sensor , The VDO/ Continental system was purposely made to deter you from that . The copy sensors that are sometimes sold that are supposed t...

Re: Sold my Kiz and thinking of buying another. Good idea or ?

I don’t see a problem with getting used parts. It seems the availability is on the rise. More Kizashi’s hitting junkyards that are dying a more normal death then the transmission failure. As with any collectible car, there does come a time when parts become challenging to get but really, the KIzashi...
