1995 Nissan D21 complaints

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK, NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 94041 4/94) STATES IMPROVED MATERIALS ARE NEEDED. COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $1,000 BECAUSE THE MANIFOLDS WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WARPAGE. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER DEFECT, I'M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD IT AND THE CABIN FILLS WITH EXHAUST GASSES.
