Bought my first Nissan 2 weeks (800 miles) ago. Got a 2012 Versa SL, magnetic grey. Really liking it. Had all Jeeps before the Versa. Now they are toys. My only problem with my Versa is I have to allow the service guys to work on my stuff. I have always done everything to my vehicles. No mechanics touch my Jeeps. I don't trust them. Today proved my point when I took in my new Versa for a squeeling right drum brake since I drove it off the lot. Instead of sanding the shoes as requested, they greased the spring on the emergency brake cable. IDIOTS! So when I got home, I had to do it myself.

That brings me to a question... Anyone know what the torque spec is for the spindle nylon lock nut? I can find specs for lots of Nissans (137-184lbs) but nothing for the 2012 with the nylon lock nut (no cap and cotter key).

Thanks for the forum and info!

Welcome. Hope you enjoy your Versa. Sedan or hatch?

Thanks to the both of you. It is a Sedan. Averaging 39.2 mgp out here in the Missouri hills too. Pretty impressive. Too bad it is not self cleaning! Gravel roads turn them colors quickly!

Thanks everyone! I found the spec. 85-90 ft. lbs. I will post up some Jeep pics if it is ok. Ours are all functional with only 31s on them. They have several upgrades and mods, but no monsters.

I must say I am loving the Versa! I wonders what some 31s would do to the gas mileage

Here are a couple pics. The ZJ (Grand Cherokee) is my wifes. The YJ (Wrangler) is mine. The YJ now has a little bigger tires but I don't have a picture at the moment. Great fun vehicles though. I have driven through some hairy stuff to get to work as you can see in the river pic. That was a drive to work one day.

Oh, and cant forget the motorcycle... You will have to excuse the cheesy pic since it has me in it. My wife took it. I don't normally take pictures of my bike.

Love the Jeeps. What are the mods?

 

[Stryker777]

The ZJ has all new suspension, 3.5" of lift, crossover steering, KOR track bar, top rack I built myself with tire hold down, antenna tab, and lights on it, of course a cb, upgraded header, dakota steering box.

YJ has bigger intake, cai, boomerang greasable shackles, fishing rod rack, cb and antenna, 2 inch lift, 19lb design 3 injectors, dual 400 watt amps and 12" subs, electric fan with thermostat and water pass kill switch, etc.

Of course they are both built, not bought. We have a 91 Cherokee we are currently building for my 14 year old daughter.
