That looks nice. I had one attached on my Nissan Note by previous owner. Do you know what is the torque spec for strut bar? I might need that when servicing underneath stuffs. And do you feel any change in car handling?

Sorry I misread yours as camshaft sensor, just ignore my previous post

Is it HR12DE or DIG-S? On Note E12 (the same engines as K13), the problem is often not due to that sensor but because of dirty oil and/or IVVT solenoid got stuck.

My Note got nearly 50K which seems risky to use Sea Foam. But I am more worry about damaging the catalytic converter. If the issue ever arise and couldn't be ignored, I might go to a walnut blasting service (if there exist one could deal with our engines) which is safest and most effective I think.

Given that DIG-S is direct injection only, I am a bit surprised that almost never heard of any case of excessive carbon buildup on intake valves, except this mild one: https://www.noteownersclub.co.uk/threads/nissan-e12-note-digi-s-supercharged-1-2.7739/post-63692 Probably a stupid thought from...

On Note dig-s, the user manual said the capacity of gear oil is 2.7l, but "NISSAN MT-XZ Gear Oil Passenger Vehicles" instead so I am not sure it uses the same gearbox. A bit weird that Micra uses 'Nissan MT-XZ gear oil Sports and Off-Road Vehicles' instead.

Recently, I decided to replace the air filer of my Note dig-s. While the old air filter (Nipparts) is quite easy to remove/install, it is really hard when I install the replacement one (Ashika). It took more than 1 hour and I nearly broke the air box clips. I then realized that is because...

In this colder half of the year, I observe the coolant temp stabilised around 84 C for road trips. Since the aircon heating is pretty slow, I am thinking of partly covering the grill. Maybe the fan only runs in summer time.

Thanks for explaining, I did not even know these are two different things.

Thanks for the detailed info. Lots of new info for me. Actually, the service manual put it as [R] - with the squared bracket to denote it is not dependent on time but only the mileage. Might it be a side-effect of the Miller cycle? I guess NGKs are the best but I could not find them in...

After trying a dozen of apps on Android, I found this one is the most functional for my Note E12 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner But you may need to try to connect with different profiles to read all sensors.

I actually think of the reverse cause. The engagement/disengagement of supercharger clutch created a mini shock to both belts and both tensioners. Since this happens quite frequently - especially for mostly short trips driving pattern - the tensioners could go bad over time. As mentioned by...

Thanks for the update. I guess these parts failed as a chain reaction. Did they give some speculation on which was the root cause? Sorry to say that I am looking on autodoc online shop and the main Gates belt is ~12 eur and the supercharger Gates belt is ~8 eur. Maybe they offset the labour...

I don't know if you go ahead with the repair, but I put some note here just for reference. This German site said the tensioner part 11955-3VA0A is replaced by 119553VA-0B https://www.online-teile.com/nissan-ersatzteile/119553VA0A_Tensioner-Assy.html...

No, I and probably other DIG-S owners are/will be following your thread.

Ouch, I am newbie but that sounds pretty bad. My Note DIG-S is having a squeak sound at cold start, similar to your previous issue.
