Can someone list all the parts to order for the replacement?

Any brands I should stay away from. I would like to go OEM but it's a bit out of my budget. Any recommended brands?

Tnx

 

So far I have:

Water Pump
Crank Seal
Termostate

Read something about guides and tensioners need more info.

 

Is this correct? I don't want to pick up parts I dont need. The car is a 95.

 

OEM OEM OEM.

 

I have been reading good things about the durlast brand on here.

What all parts do I need to order. I really want to do OEM.

I would go OEM. A job like that you wouldn't want to do it twice because of a cheap part. Since DaveB is no longer around. I've been buying my oem parts from Brent Koenig at Gillman Nissan 281-341-2277. Just tell him your from .org and he'll apply a 20% discount. He replies to messages and is a cool guy to deal with. He has always given me the best prices for oem parts compared to other dealers...

 

Thank you. Also what parts do I need to order for this job? I am taking it to a shop.

My mechanic just told me to get the Water pump, Crank seal and tensioner.

 

Thermo's are cheap, system is drained, why not replace it?

 

Crank seal is unnecessary for this job. You have to remove the crank pulley to replace it, but not to replace the water pump.

 

See here I am thinking it was a misnomer for the seals on the water pump.... Silly me

 

If OEM is out of your budget I have had good luck with RockAuto.com for friend's cars I have worked on (non-Nissan ughh).

If you can afford to go $70 more I would go OEM. Also if you can afford the 4 OEM radiator hose clamps @ $2.56 each since yours are probably 17 years old I would do yourself a favor a replace them. You will thank me and so will your mechanic as they will weaken and break. Finally don't put worm-drive clamps on them it will only ruin the hoses and makes for a sloppy install.

 

That is true but i am aproaching 200,000 miles and while it's not nescessary, I have changed about every other seal so he figured that changing it while being in the vicinity couldn't hurt. I don't know what or when the previous owner did maintenance to the car. so I am doing a little preventative maintenance. Now I should be good for another 200,000 miles or so.

 

Oil and anti-freeze will mix on the water pump change, so change both fluids.

Anti-freeze;
Nissan or better anti-freeze
thermostat
ECT or temp ssensor for ECU

Oil
Oil Filter (wix or equivalent)
5W30 or 10W30 oil

That's about it.
