Hi All
As my 4.5 went over the 316 000km mark yesterday and from what I have heard and read the distributor on the 4.5 has the tendency to give problems from around 300 000km, I would just what to find out what the way forward is.
To just replace it when it fails or is the a upgrade of some sort that can be done?
I do have a ping when under load at about 3000rpm and that happens everytime I go over Van Reenens pass. Otherwise there is no major issues to indicate that the distributor has reached the end of its life.
Can't wait for your inputs
Thanks alot

Re: Tb45 Distributor
Over the years I have seen advertising for distributor recon centres. Perhaps google that and try one if these places

Re: Tb45 Distributor
I also thought about it, but didn't know if it is possible. Is that a big story and what would all need to be done. Who will be able to do it?

Re: Tb45 Distributor
You can have the shaft etc reconditioned but unfortunately the coil pack is tired and no replacement available in SA.
Last time I checked replacement distributor was over R 14 k from Nissan.
There is a coil pack replacement available from Auto Parts Supply in Australia for 90 Aussie dollars but they do not ship to SA.
What I have never investigated and may be worth looking at is Spitronics or similar. I am however not a fan of aftermarket electronics but it seems to be improving.

Re: Tb45 Distributor
Thanks all for you inputs.
So basically it is either recon, replace or go with aftermarket management.
I am scared to go with the aftermarket management but will look into it.
