Check the manual they are adjustable in a few directions as I seem to remember
Probably the pin has worn and eroded the hole in the hinge. They are (or at least they were) available from Nissan on their own, without buying the doors! I seem to remember you can buy replacement pins as well. You just need to unbolt them from the 'A'post and the door, they'll be stuck with a bit of sealer but should just unbolt. Its easier if you support the door on a jack with some wood and do one at a time, unbolting the lower & back edge of the wing may give you better access.
mine did this, I took two thick metal washers, undid the door and put the washers between the hinge and the bodywork, been perfect ever since, (9 +months)
Sweet, will try and 'fabricate' it
Just to confirm, i did the washer trick as well on the bottom hinges as a quick fix till i bought new hinges from nissan, however it worked so well forgot all about it till I read this post!Originally Posted by rich1988
