The speedometer problem is probably bad solder joints on the speedometer circuit board. You can get a new cluster, or try to repair the solder joints on the board. Reflowing the solder requires...

I suggest keeping your old unit and having it repaired. I went through four used speedometers before redoing the solder on my old units.

Probably bad solder joints in the speedometer circuit board. You can re-flow those solder joints if you take the speedometer out of the cluster. Resoldering the joints requires soldering thru a...

Make sure your leak is not coming from your oil cooler (what your oil filter spins on to). Very common oil leak and a super easy gasket to replace.

I like your thinking, but every time I go to the pull-a-part, there are less and less 3rd gens available. I also have a 5.5 Gen, which are kinda still in the sweet spot of junkyard picking. There...

20% Lucas oil stabilizer + 10w-40 oil slowed down my oil consumption quite a bit. No problems with the thicker oil and the variable timing components yet.

Nice write up James. That broken bus bar is what I had about 15 years ago. I hope Randy has some luck with his repair.

Now we have to find someone who fixes these speedometers. I have 2 dead ones.

Not the first time an OEM part was sold as aftermarket. I have received OEM parts from Advance Auto a couple of times. I guess Nissan just dumps their inventory when the parts are a few years old.

The 04 valve covers used to be cheap from Courtesy for a long time. This was when the 02/03 covers cost 2x or 3x as much as the 04s. Has anyone had any luck with the aftermarket covers?

That is a separate problem. I learned to live with it until the chime eventually died. It would work good for months, then return with a vengeance.
