1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan Pulsar NX tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan Pulsar NX tires online.

When your car has an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Nissan intended them to.

  • Are Nissan Pulsar NX engine noises bad? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Nissan Pulsar NX engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Maintenance Q&A

Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When should I switch my Nissan Pulsar NX to high mileage oil?  If your Nissan Pulsar NX has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Nissan?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should.

Answers to Your Nissan Pulsar NX Car Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Nissan Pulsar NX battery stay charged?  A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Pulsar NX’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Pulsar NX car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

Oil Changes for 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX

Nissan recommends having your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Pulsar NX may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Nissan recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Consult Nissan's recommendations to select the right  1990 Pulsar NX oil and talk with a teammate to learn more about our oil options: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Oil Change Questions

  • What can cause the oil light on my Nissan Pulsar NX to illuminate?  Your Nissan Pulsar NX oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • How hard is it to change Nissan Pulsar NX oil at home?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan exhaust smoke gray or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX

  • When should Nissan Pulsar NX spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Pulsar NX? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often do Nissan Pulsar NX fuel injectors need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX

When you first drove your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Pulsar NX jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Pulsar NX suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

Questions About 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Nissan Pulsar NX bouncing so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Pulsar NX to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Pulsar NX front end dip forward when I brake?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Nissan's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

Convenient & Local 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX A/C Service

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my Pulsar NX A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Pulsar NX's A/C system.
  • Why does my Pulsar NX’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Pulsar NX is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Transmission Service

Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Pulsar NX’s performance. 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX Transmission Q&A

  • Does my Pulsar NX's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Maintaining your Nissan Pulsar NX transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Nissan. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Nissan Pulsar NX transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Nissan Pulsar NX transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Should I avoid driving my Nissan Pulsar NX if there is a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
