"Nissan-AD": description, technical characteristics, photo. Nissan AD II - hell vehicle or universal soldier Nissan AD engine range

The Nissan company produces excellent models of cars that suit consumers both in quality and in appearance. It is worth noting the fact that many (even budget cars) have adequate specifications and quite satisfies the average driver.

Special attention should be paid to the Nissan-AD car, which appeared on the market in 1997. Even though the release has already been completed, it is still the given vehicle is in great demand. This is due to convenience, comfort, good technical characteristics, as well as an attractive interior and exterior. Reviews about the car are more than good, for its price it is really impressive.

"Nissan-AD" will enchant with its appearance, will conquer with speed and ride level. If there is an opportunity to purchase this car, then you should not miss it!

History

On the conveyor this model was delivered in 1997 as described above. It entered mass production two years later. The company planned to create a great vehicle for entrepreneurs. Since the 20th century, the car has gone through several modifications that differ slightly from each other. For example, in 2007 the doorway for the fifth door was increased and the floor level was lowered. The latter action helped to increase the interior space.

Reviews about the car

Most often, only positive reviews about the car. This can be attributed to the fact that it has a fairly strong body, a spacious interior, adequate equipment, a tough but reliable suspension, a good engine and a large trunk that holds 450 liters.

Most of the drivers, leaving reviews, talk about the excellent value for money "Nissan-AD". Photos of it are constantly posted by consumers in order to show how good the car looks at its price after several years of operation. What else can you add to the merits? The visibility is at a good level, the interior can be changed at your discretion, and the handling is one of the best. Driving performance, assembly and stove - what is done at an excellent level.

Sometimes drivers note a small ground clearance, poor noise insulation, which interferes, uncomfortable seats, creaking of parts and quick breakdown of some of them. Also, according to the reviews, it becomes clear that it is better to purchase a model with mechanical transmission... This is due to the fact that the machine sometimes "slows down" during operation.

Specifications

The Nissan-AD engine has a volume of 1.5 liters. Its capacity is 105 "horses". IN standard configuration an automatic transmission is installed in 4 steps, there is a built-in air conditioning and power windows. The engine is of the gasoline type. Each of his candles has its own separate coil. Thanks to this, the service life has increased. power unit and its reliability, the number of possible breakdowns is reduced. The drive can be installed both full and front. The wheelbase is long and satisfies every driver. There are airbags in case of an accident, and some automatic systems... One of them is mirror adjustment.

Depending on the configuration, some characteristics can be changed. For drivers who want to know more about the car, the Nissan-AD diagram below will help to understand its structure in more detail.

additional characteristics

There are dedicated areas for phones or tablets. The rear seats are low enough, which only speaks of what the manufacturer wanted. The bottom line is that this "bench" (as the drivers call the chairs) is more intended for the transportation of goods. Only children will be comfortable on it, because it is quite low.

"Nissan-AD", the characteristics of which make it clear whether it is worth buying it or not, is perfect for the carriage of goods, but for family trips you will have to look for another option.

Selection of tires and wheels for a car Nissan AD 1997 allows you to save time on searching many times suitable option.

After all, this option allows you to do without studying the vast assortment of the Mosavtoshina online store, which is represented by several thousand items. At the same time, making a mistake when choosing one or another option is extremely high. Indeed, this requires a sufficiently deep knowledge in this area, which most car owners do not have. To use all 100% of the capabilities of our tire and wheel selection system, you just need to know the make, model and year of production of your car. This information is indicated literally in a few clicks of a computer mouse on the corresponding inscriptions on the screen. This information, simple in content, is usually enough for the automated system to select several options, technical specifications which fully meet all the requirements of the car manufacturer.

The Nissan AD is a no-frills station wagon. These are almost the same "Zhiguli", only Japanese bottling. In early trim levels, there was not even a power steering. The model was produced for domestic market Japan (since left-hand traffic), so I got to Russia with the right wheel.

Despite its simplicity and external unpretentiousness, "AD" has become in demand in our country. Due to its high carrying capacity, many bought it as a workhorse. They managed to stuff into the trunk not only sacks of potatoes, a refrigerator or an electric oven, but also logs!

The car was produced from 1999 to 2005, and the very first models were already 20 years old. Is it worth buying this car today and what will you get - an infernal apparatus or a universal soldier, we understand the article.

Spartan minimalism of the salon

Inside "Nissan" there is Spartan minimalism, so the salon will seem boring to lovers of delights. Dashboard standard. There are temperature and fuel meters, speedometer, oil pressure and low battery voltage alarm indicators. There is no air conditioner, from the standard acoustics only a radio receiver, which, most likely, has long since died. There is also no tachometer, the engine speed will have to be determined by ear. The steering column is not adjustable in height and reach.

The front seats are quite comfortable, but the rear passengers sit like on a bench. It seems that the developers, calculating how much to put the foam in the back sofa, accidentally made a mistake and deleted one number in the documentation. The seat turned out to be very hard, and the distance to the front seats is so negligible that the knees of the riders rest against the backs of the passengers sitting in front.

The trim is made of cheap hard plastic - squeaks and rattles will become your annoying companions. No noise and heat insulation. Some owners organized it themselves, so the presence of a Shumka will be a pleasant bonus to the purchased car.

The power window is mounted only in the driver's door, the rest of the windows are opened with "oars". Models before 1995 only have seat belts, later versions have a driver airbag.

The body of the AD is quite strong, but prone to "mushrooms", especially on the wheel arches. Inspect these areas carefully before purchasing. Body parts, as well as headlights, are expensive and also in short supply. The headlight assembly with a turn signal will cost 3000-4500 rubles. And you can get it only by order from the Far East.

Motor range Nissan AD

2nd generation Nissan AD was equipped with petrol and diesel engines... The first gasoline units had carburetors and developed power up to 79 and 94 Horse power... Later, from 95, appeared injection engine for 105 "horses".

Diesel engines are weaker than petrol ones - 55 and 76 "horses", but they are not inferior in traction, especially when going uphill. Fuel consumption, depending on the type of engine and driving style, averages 6-8 liters per 100 km.

In general, the AD engines are not bad, but they need frequent replacement air flow sensor. Well, do not forget that the first "Adeshki" will soon celebrate their 30th anniversary. So their motors will either have to be capitalized or changed to a contract engine. Replacement is expensive, only the timing belt will cost you 10 thousand and more.

Transmission and hodovka

"Nissan AD" was equipped with a five-speed manual or automatic. The first models came with automatic transmission in three gears, and after 1991 - in four. There are no particular complaints about the boxes. Gears shift smoothly, without kicks.

"ADs", presented on the secondary, are sold with full and front wheel drive.

The suspension is simple: in front there are independent struts, and in the back there is a semi-independent beam or bridge. It is not very comfortable and not very reliable. Due to the rigidity of the moving elements there is no free play, so everything works for "blow". But the hodovka is easy to repair with your own hands.

The main problem of the undercarriage is the constantly knocking steering rack, although this is a headache not only for "HELL", but for all "Nissan". Be prepared for something to clatter or clatter.

The ground clearance of the car is 140-145 mm, a little, like all cars. The habitat for "AD" is the city and the suburbs. Funny off-road pokatushki is not for him.

Prices and problems of "AD" in the secondary market

Prices for Nissan AD range from a ridiculous 25 thousand (not on the move) to 180 thousand rubles. The cars are old and have changed many owners, so many are sold with a duplicate PTS, like this one born in 2009:

Take or not take

It depends on why. If you need a purely family car, in which you will carry building materials to the dacha, and back - bags of crops, then perhaps not worth it. Better to save up funds and take something fresher and more comfortable.

Not a car will do and for long distance travel. And even if there is a lot of space in the trunk, you will torture yourself and the rear passengers. All the way they will massage your back with their knees, and the car itself will turn into a hellish apparatus.

If there is a need for the transportation of goods - private and commercial, and the budget is strictly limited, then Nissan AD will become a "universal soldier". But keep in mind that previous owners used the car for the same needs, so it will be pretty tired.

In general, the car is simple, easy to repair, rarely failing its owners. But if something breaks down, there may be difficulties with the purchase of spare parts, especially in the European part of Russia. Many self-made women, who could not get parts for "AD", "collective farms" the car, adapting parts from other machines and digesting factory fasteners. So inspect your vehicle carefully before purchasing and remember to check your vehicle history.

Was do you have experience of owning a Nissan AD? What problems did you encounter during operation? Tell us about them in the comments below the article.

The car in the back of VFY10 (formally - Mazda Familia). She ran for 8 years (and still runs), confirming that the products of the Land of the Rising Sun are unmatched in reliability. They bought the cheapest that was at that time (and it cost then ridiculous now $ 4500). Disadvantages are known: the small distance between the front and rear seats, so only children can be put back; stiff suspension, designed for driving with a full load (but you can pile a full trunk, take your father-in-law and mother-in-law and not worry that the suspension will sag). And the prospect of subscribing spare parts from Japan, if that. However, consumables, namely filters, candles, were purchased without problems. The rest is all super. It has no equal in its class in terms of cargo transportation: doors (80 cm x 2 m), cast-iron bathtub, refrigerator, etc. were taken to the dacha (150 km run). (I tied the slightly non-closing rear door with a rope). Gasoline consumption. In Moscow for short distances in the early years it was up to 11.5 l / 100 km, then it became 8.3 (!? - I measured everything exactly). 6.5 liters on the highway (even with a load).

The Nissan AD has been produced since 1990 based on the Nissan Wingroad. Made in Japan. Designed as a van, including for cargo transportation. Has a classic design, low seating position, roomy interior and large trunk. Produced with a modified back standard station wagon Sunny.

In April 1992, the Nissan AD was released with a number of changes. The rear trunk has been raised, thereby increasing the volume of the cargo compartment, increasing the wheelbase, and changing the shape of the glazing.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

August 1993 was marked by minor changes. The automatic transmission has been upgraded to 4 speeds.

In April 1996, an additional option was added - a driver's airbag. In May 1997, minor changes were made. Engines delivered with more efficient emissions. Installed diesel engines with ATTESA 4WD system, wipers with anti-icing option.

In 1999, the third generation of cars began to be produced. It is a classic station wagon with a rigid suspension. It has both an economical naturally aspirated diesel engine and a gasoline engine.

Finally the fourth generation Nissan AD was released in 2006. Installed new engines HR15DE and MR18DE, CR12DE. System all-wheel drive available for cars with a smaller engine. Also added smart key system.

In 2016, the model was modernized and renamed Nissan NV150.

What engines are most common

Internal combustion engines of Nissan cars are the most unpretentious and reliable. Only they have chain or gear drives of the gas distribution mechanism. On diesel Nissan engines cylinder heads rarely crack. Also, these motors can run on 76th gasoline.

The most the best engines of Nissan series AD, the most widely used are the GA13,15,16 series motors. They are unpretentious, undemanding to the quality of oil, fuel, and also reliable.

Which engine is better to choose a car

Automotive engines are diesel and gasoline, as well as atmospheric, compressor and turbocharged. They are also distinguished by their displacement, number of cylinders, and layout. Let's take a closer look at each type.

Gas engine. As the name implies, such engines consume gasoline as fuel. Engine internal combustion has several cylinders with gasoline in them, which is ignited by an electric spark. Such a unit is simple, unpretentious and inexpensive to maintain. Among the shortcomings, it is possible to note a smaller resource, failures in the ignition system and enough high consumption gasoline. If you value high speed, reduced noise and vibration, then you should pay attention to this type of engine.

The gasoline engine can be carbureted or injected. The injection type has a more advanced fuel injection system. The electronic system selects the optimal amount of fuel for each mode of operation. Thus, this type of engine will operate economically and stably, as well as have more power.

The carburetor engine has more outdated mechanics, less stable and economical. Requires more attentive service. Therefore, if you choose between a carburetor or an injector, then it is better to give preference to the latest, modern engine.

Diesel engine. As fuel this engine uses diesel or diesel fuel. There is no ignition system. The fuel will ignite in such units due to strong compression and heating.

Diesel engines have high efficiency, reliability, low fuel consumption and long service life. But it has disadvantages such as the high cost of repairs and the dependence of work fuel system on the quality of diesel fuel, weather conditions under which the engine may not start.

It is worth choosing this type of engine if you are looking for a vehicle with high fuel economy and high torque.

Choice between naturally aspirated or turbo engine

An atmospheric engine draws air into the cylinder using a vacuum created by the movement of the pistons. The turbine, on the other hand, injects air under pressure forcibly.

Gasoline engines are mostly naturally aspirated. They are less problematic than turbine ones, since the resource of the turbine is not high and it is expensive.

Diesel engines generally all have a turbine, since the turbocharger allows good performance power, economy for of this type motors.

With a quiet ride, the fuel consumption in the turbo engine can be lower than in the aspirated engine.

Selection by volume

Its power depends on the volume of the engine. The larger the volume, the more powerful car... In order to optimally choose the motor that is right for you, you need to pay attention to some nuances.

A more powerful engine will be able to accelerate more strongly and quickly. The more power the engine generates, the more it consumes fuel. If your mileage is not great, then you can take a powerful car. In the case of high mileage fuel costs can hit the budget. In addition, the price of the engine power tax must be kept in mind.

The choice of engine also depends on the driving style. As part of a quiet everyday ride, without a sharp start, intense acceleration, bends, an engine with a large volume will do. And the resource of small cars is inferior to such engines. Minus large engines is that repairs and replacement of spare parts are more expensive, and the amount of oil used is higher here.

The choice of engine power still depends on the vehicle equipment. The presence of an air conditioner, power steering, automatic box transmissions with a torque converter and variator will require more vehicle power.

When choosing a used car, it is better to give preference big engine since it will last longer than its balance.

Arrangement and number of valves

Engines can have a different number of cylinders arranged in one of three ways. The number of cylinders can vary from three to eight.

By location, they are classified:

• In-line
• V-shaped
• Opposed

The inline engine is the simplest, the cylinders are located above crankshaft in one row. In a V-shaped engine, the cylinders are arranged in 2 rows at an angle to each other. Boxer motors are used only by some companies, Nissan does not apply to them.

The power of the motor depends on the number of valves. More valves help fill the cylinder fuel mixture... But at the same time, the more there are, the more difficult and more expensive repair, as well as the entire construction of the timing.

The choice of engine depends on many parameters. Read the reviews, choose a car with an engine according to the principle of the golden mean, (not too low-powered, but not too voluminous), well, and the most important indicator is the reliability of the unit.
