I will say Scotty has a valid point here. I am seeing more and more people pulling their old 90s cars and pickups galore out of the moth balls lately. I am this summer seeing some genuine classics back on the road being used as daily drivers. I have friend he played a major part in putting a customers home back together after a Holiday chimney fire and earned himself a 94 K1500 GMC that is not in bad shape. The customer ran out cash when it came to the floor and cabinets in the kitchen and the deal was made. New heads and new gaskets a radiator a little body work and the thing is rock solid again back on the road. The truck was destined to be junked but there again was a piece of what some would call junk but it was in far too good a shape to just throw it away.
I'm 56 and have trouble doing some of the things that were easy 14 years ago. Scotty is 14 years older than me and can still change a crank seal on an old car. Remarkable.
I still see many older Nissans on the road. During the 80s and 90s they were about as good as a Toyota or Honda. You maintained them and they could last a long time.
My friend was in race car driver in Indianapolis in the 1970s. I asked how he keeps his cars running so long. He said, " if something breaks, you fix it.".
Got the exact car from '99! Got it with 82k miles on it in great condition for 2400. Runs like a sewing machine, incredible gas sipper at 35mpg on the highway. Super basic, but will probably run for another 10 years now problem
Instead of using an FM transmitter and headphone jack in my old Lexus I just use a tape deck adaptor that plugs directly into my phone. No wireless transmission and the sound quality is fantastic
Scotty, I had an '85 Sentra demonstrator off the showroom floor went over 290,000 km (180,000 miles) before I had an accident which wrote it off in 91. It was the basic 4 banger with 5 speed manual. Being young and single at the time I drove the crap out of it but I did the regular maintenance and still got over 45 mpg highway 2-3 years later! Only thing ever went wrong was the heater connector in the dash which cost me $45 at an electrical service shop in 86 or 87. Probably the best car I ever owned.
My sister & her husband had a '94 Sentra with a 5-speed manual. They had over 230,000 miles on it when they donated it to their church, a needy person got a car. It was a good car.
Had one of these...great car. Never broke down over 260,000 miles when I traded it in. Brakes, axles, cv joints, tires, timing belt water pump. That's it. Ran it 80mph on highway.
For that car, an even cheaper solution would be a cassette to microphone aux adapter, they cost $5 at walmart and leaves you with a fully operational cigarette lighter. (Bluetooth cassettes also available at Walmart for $20).
This Sentra even has the ASC controls on the steering wheel. So not just a basic one. Interior: Yes! 80s and 90s interior were the best. These days you´d have a big black plastic door card. And yes cloth beats leather!
I got a FM transmitter for my 2006 Subaru many years ago and they're awesome. Especially since the stock radio cant be upgraded because the HVAC controls are integrated with the radio.
I agree about the die. I use it myself. It saves me time. When I show the mecanics, they treat me like I made a big mess for no reason… they have water based for collant and oil based for oil and gas. I found my gas leak with it: gasket around injectors on my 91 bmw… not sure how to find it in 5min without it
That UV leak dye stuff is really magic. No guessing. Worked at an International dealership and we used it all the time. I'd *never* put a stop leak in my oil, unless I wanted my engine to blow up....clogs leaks...and *everything else....*
I have a 4 cylinder Honda Accord with a slow leak. AT 205 didn't work for me. Someone mentioned on another Mechanic's channel that someone said had a Honda and AT-205 didn't work for him, so he switched to Blue Devil and it worked. I did the same, but it did not stop the leak, but it "seems" to have helped slightly. Blue Devil is guaranteed to work, but I did not attempt to collect a refund.
Now I do like the tip for the FM transmitter, but cars with cassette decks can use a cassette to Bluetooth adapter which is better because it's directly into the car and other channels will never interfere.
....he's such a casual matter of fact approach cause he s actually getttin' it done at an engaging pace keeping cadence with the flow he's so accustomed to and makes you wanna wrench for a few cause he keeps it simple. (.....but he will point out obvious.) I get a chuckle now and then, feel me....
You should take a look at these new systems they’ve got, they stick on your dash like an old GPS system but they have CarPlay Android Auto like in the new cars, you’ve got your maps and music and all that. There’s all kinds of brands for them and you don’t have to rewire your whole car
Another great video Scotty. I watch your videos every day and look forward to them. In fact I actually went back to the beginning of time and I've watched every video you've ever made excellent entertainment and also very educational.
I have a 2010 Subaru Impreza Sedan 2.5i automatic with 190,345 miles and it runs like new, burns very little oil if any. I made sure I changed the timing belt at around 100,000 miles along with the water pump and idler pulley. Good thing about having a older car is the local vehicle taxes are cheaper as well as the insurance on it. Thanks for the video it was informative and helpful.
Superb post once again, Mr. Scotty, sir. I learn something with EVERY ONE of your posts. That '94 Nissan Sentra was/is a decent car. In fact, that generation of Sentra (1992-94), which was its third generation, happens to be my favorite one. Keep up the AWESOME work!
Great video. Everything is so familiar. I've got a 1995 Infiniti G20 that looks almost identical other than fancier interior including cracking leather seats. The car still runs great. Mechanics rave about the engine every time I bring it in. Unfortunately I had my first big issue last fall, during a trip to Pennsylvania. Oil light on. Oil everywhere. The first shop couldn't diagnose where it was coming from. I had it towed to a Nissan dealer. Turned out to be the rear main seal. Ouch. More than $1000. But on a trip I was stuck and losing precious days. I couldn't believe a small round piece of plastic caused so much trouble. We made it back to Florida and now have taken 3 subsequent trips. Even if I buy another used car soon I'll keep this one instead of selling it for nothing
95 Ford Escort the most reliable car i've ever owned. Could fill the tank for $7 in the 90's 😂. Only reason I had to upgrade was the mechanic would no longer work on the car because the frame was failing from rust. Garage your vehicles.
If I had a car with a functional tape player, I'd definitely use a casette tape aux adapter. 10 bucks, much simpler and won't get interference from random radio stations on trips.
For your Bluetooth method! I’d use a in line cassette adapter to a 3.5 female paired with a Bluetooth transmitter 3.5 male which you plug into your cigarette lighter and you’ll get direct reception from your phone to your car 😊 This beats using radio frequencies
Scotty, I’ve used both the FM to AM converter and the FM transmitter. The FM to AM converter was a must for me because my favorite New York radio station back in 1979 was the cool station WNEW-FM 102.7 and my ‘76 Ford Pjnto wagon only had an AM receiver. Installation and use was simple so I was happy with the results. I was far less happy with the FM transmitter I used in my 2000 Corolla. This Corolla model came out just before the audio in jack came standard in new cars of all trims. It worked best with the cigarette lighter adapter because the transmitter used the power cable to enhance the signal. Still, it was frustrating to use because even clear FM frequencies faded out. Selecting a different frequency that worked well was like winning the lottery so I’ve never been a fan of FM transmitter adapters. If
You could also get the tape cassette AUX adapter for cars. An AUX hardwired connection to a car radio will also give you superior sound quality versus a Bluetooth connection, especially Bluetooth audio from the transmitter. But if your iPhone or whatever phone you have doesn’t have an AUX port, you can a lighting to aux dongle to use as well.
I had a 2012 Dodge journey and it was the biggest pos I've ever owned. Plaged with non stop electrical problems and cheap shitty suspension parts constantly needing replacing
I am still trying to picture my uncle and his friends driving around town when they were teenagers while one of them held an old wind up Victrola record player his lap with the big cone speaker on it. How in the world did they keep the needle from skipping all over the place? Maybe that added to the entertainment...
I gave my 2002 v6 altima away when it had 375,000 miles. It ran and handled like day one. It now has 420,000. Trans fluid never changed. It went thru 2 converters, 2 alternators, struts, a lower control arm, one radiator, and the obligatory brakes, oil, tires. I did all the work except the converters. That was the last years of the decent nissans. That v6 was rock solid.
When i was a teen on the mid 80s I built an AM transmitter so i could play my walkman through my moms AM radio in her car. No idea of there were commercially available ones back then. Probably not.
I have a similar Bluetooth device connected to my 1999 GS 400. I use a tape-to-aux converter to connect it and then wirelessly pair it with my phone each time. I believe this works better than assigning it to a radio station. It works excellently.
That does seem like an easier way to connect but not as many features like playing music from USB. And skipping songs and control volume without having to touch phone.
I had a friend who bought a 1995 Nissan Maxima secondhand around 1998. I think he paid $15k for it. It was loaded (it even had a head-up display, which was hilarious), and it was AMAZING. It was like a fuel-efficient zero-maintenance BMW, and BMWs were still great back then. Nissan used to be a completely different company, no lie.

Why u can do even better than Scotty just drink Scotch and then u could fix even brain seals
I'm 59 and hear you brother.. sore the next day.😢
I have a 1989 toyota camry paid $600 and it runs like a dream
My very first vehicle in high school. GREAT CAR
I didn't know dreams run 😂
I continue to enjoy my analog 2001 Camry ❤
600 dollar Camry is way better than a 80k new jeep
1800 is way too high price
Bought my wife one in 1990 it was awesome car. She needed a dependable car to take her mother for cancer treatment. May God bless everyone 🙏
Who doesn’t love the old Scotty stories of the 60/70’s brings a smile to my face.
I tell you Scotty has done this so long he makes it look so easy
I love it when Scotty shows me 15+ year old technology, and acts like it’s revolutionary 😂
It's like Alt+F4... it just passes the test of time 😆
Well the newer ones are a lot better than the old ones hence the amazement.
@@mariog8067 that’s fair I love Scotty I just think it’s funny! At least he’s not showing us a cassette deck to 3.5mm adapter I guess
It was back then.
He's 70yrs old
I still see many older Nissans on the road. During the 80s and 90s they were about as good as a Toyota or Honda. You maintained them and they could last a long time.
👍
And you don't have to worry about a timing belt. It's got a chain like a real car.@@MiguchaDonovanRicarardoMigucha
If you have an older car, keep it running for as LONG as possible.
My friend was in race car driver in Indianapolis in the 1970s.
I asked how he keeps his cars running so long.
He said, " if something breaks, you fix it.".
Had one of those with my 94 Ciera
Dialed the old am fm cassette factory radio to a low fm frequency
It worked great
What if it gets 23 mpg at best?
@@SpeakerWiggin49still cheaper than a car payment 😂
I bought my Tacoma brand new in 2006. 377,000 miles. It’s going great!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

The problem is finding a good quality one (cassette aux)
@@DarkForce2024i have seen some howlers on installs on “just rolled in” some ppl just cannot /should not be let near wiring
Nice you helped him out Scotty. you are a good guy
I love the "Scotty" way, brother!! And I wish I could make quick work of a front crank seal like you do. Excellent video!
Love the Opel story. Scotty's The BEST ! Love his exuberance in telling his stories and imparting his wisdom. He's a treasure.
I love old cars 20- 30 years old who has been well maintained mechanically and cosmetically. Cars built with heart❤
And soul! I just scored an 89 Saab 900 turbo ragtop😍
I’m with you on the old cars and I have a soft spot for Volvo and Saabs…………
I bought a 1982 Corolla last month, I'm totally in love with it 😊
Yeah those old Nissan's and Mazda's are where the term bulletproof started in cars, awesome engines and overall build.
Too bad corporate takeover from foreign companies ruined them. Well, Mazda got rid of Ford and is trying to make a comeback.
Nope .bulletproof goes farther back then that. Try old chrysler slant six and 318 engines.!
This Sentra even has the ASC controls on the steering wheel. So not just a basic one.
Interior: Yes! 80s and 90s interior were the best. These days you´d have a big black plastic door card. And yes cloth beats leather!
At 3:35 Before Scotty worked on the car nice clean passenger fender
At 6:05 After Scotty worked on the car now destroyed passenger fender
Destroyed is probably too strong word but yeah
somewhere in scotty's garage is a set of fender covers in mint condition
@@pacwalds '94 Sentra IS a fender cover. It'll think twice before it springs another seal seep/leak. Tough Love.

Scotty love the story of old am radio to fm conversion way to adapt & over come back then and now.
You’re so right about the speakers!
I remember installing a converter in my 68 VW Bug, in the glove box (the usual place) and was very happy with that, I'm old lol.
I use one of those Bluetooth connectors in my old '95 Safari, and '05 Camry. They work just fine
I have a 4 cylinder Honda Accord with a slow leak. AT 205 didn't work for me.

Hi, My 1994 Micra, has 150 K miles and it does not burn oil. Mind you I had CVT issues 2 times, but nothing too bad. Great, Great city car. Thanks
If you had a manual transmission you wouldn't have had those CVT issues.

For those sentras you can just import a 1.6 from a Mexican spec Tsuru or just track down a low mileage JDM SR20.
Sweet old Nissan.
I had a FM transmitter in my work van with approx 1 mile range. Used it to play hi res flac. I was the only ATT rolling pirate station.

I have an 89 Nissan D21 Hard body. I love my little truck, but things are starting to break down, and they are hard to find in the junk yards.
Thank you!!!!! I didn't know how to release tensionon the pulley on this Kia Sedona, 2002 3.5 L now I know how
I have an Nissan 1987 D-21 2.5 L runs great , passed inspection
I had an FM converter too
I got a Bluetooth adapter similar to that one directly from a China site for $5. Works great on my 25 and 30 year old vehicles to modernize them. 😁🎶
Hearing him rev up the 1.6L reminds me of Latin America tons of these running around as taxis (they were produced until 2015 for foreign markets)
2002 Citroen C5. Decent motor!
As for the hood latch, some grease in the lock.
Usually, on older autos, they have a 3.5 mm stereo input in the car, that one can hook the smartphone/ headphone output to; as well.
Bluetooth FM adapters are great!
At -205 worked in my cars! Both mercuries! 99&91’
Scotty is a badass
I had a friend who bought a 1995 Nissan Maxima secondhand around 1998. I think he paid $15k for it. It was loaded (it even had a head-up display, which was hilarious), and it was AMAZING. It was like a fuel-efficient zero-maintenance BMW, and BMWs were still great back then. Nissan used to be a completely different company, no lie.
your the man scotty. great stuff
Scotty, my newest of my 5 cars\trucks is a 2010. All of them but one have FM converters. Love it!
