FAQ has been updated

#1

Post by asavage »

Major updates to The FAQ include:
  • Added TOC to top of page;
  • Moved some items around into different categories;
  • Added "fuel filter" placeholder;
  • Added "acronyms" section;
  • Added link to FSM errors thread;
  • Added "parts catalogue" info;
  • Updated PS pump info in "Parts Availability->PS Hose" section;
  • Added "Brakes" and "Brakes->Wagon rear brakes" section;
  • Added "Common problems" section
Doesn't sound like much, but it took three hours . . .

I could use a volunteer to write up something about the fuel filter (Nissan part No., aftermarket part Nos, change procedure, change interval recommended by Nissan, etc.). Email it to me (asavage@iname.com) or just start a normal thread and put it there.

And of course anything that you think should be in the FAQ, let me know; it'll go on the to-do list for next week.

19-Feb-2006:
Added "Model Year Changes" section.

This section really needs fleshing out. Look over what I've put down so far, and buzz me about what I'm missing. I'm thinking there was a change to the power mirror controls in there somewhere (from '81 to '82?).

Changed PM switch MY change from '82 to '81 (Thanks, Steve!). Parts Catalog indicates Mar-'83 changeover in Wagons but Jul-'81 changeover in Sedans. The Sedans date is more likely correct for both.
