Securing the Vehicle

When fixing the aluminum body to the body straightening equipment, set an aluminum alloy retaining plate [thickness: approximately 5 mm (0.20 in)] in the clamp to prevent sill flange damage.

Frame Straightening
  • Buckling portions have been work hardened. When straightening frames, straighten by pulling out while heating with oxy-acetylene gas welder. Unlike steel plates, aluminum alloy does not change color even when heated. Use a noncontact type thermometer or thermometry pen to control the temperature. Be careful not to overheat.

    <Reference> Melting point of aluminum alloy: approximately 640°C (1,184°F)

    Possible heating temperature
    Extrusion molding material (6000 series) : 110°C (230°F)
    Press molding material (5000 series) : 350°C (662°F)
  • During pulling work, pulling fully with large force causes weld to peel (spot weld peeling or cracks are generated in fillet weld). Pull out gradually.

  • Aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity. When heating, remove interior equipment and other related parts extensively.

    Welding (aluminum)

    Welding (Aluminum) To repair a crack or a hole in a steel plate, welding is usually used. Either oxygen and acetylene gas welding, arc welding, or brazing is commonly used...

    Your vehicle has two types of security systems:

    Vehicle security system NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

    The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors, liftgate or the hood when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
