  1. I've had the same problem. The belts have loosened; they are still good but need to be retightened. It's really annoying and super-loud...mine would wake up the whole neighborhood.
  2. 99.5+ is the tail on the right. As said before, you need a new wiring harness. I believe if you get the early QX4 tails you just use your existing harness. I prefer the early QX4 tails myself. They would also go well with clears.
  3. Land Rover's are heavy and when stock, have small contact patches. They're known to get bogged down in sand, but can chug through mud. And I thought you were going to say that the LR didn't start!
  4. What lift is it again? EDIT: I remember you're in GA...I'm in Atlanta. Any chance you ever want to help on my suspension? I'll pay with cash and beer!
  5. Looks good. Could the popping be a rear coil becoming unseated? Come to think of it, when my stock suspension is fully flexed in the rear, it makes a popping noise. I think it's just the whole rear flexing...not sure.
  6. Don't underestimate Land Rovers... Looks like fun!
  7. I just pitched a tent in my pants...I want a 2001+ QX4 so bad. I love seeing off-road! My friend has a black/black 2003 QX4 with 30k miles! It's so nice! :bow:
  8. 98SilverPathy, Have you had any reliability issues directly related to your aftermarket parts? E-Fan failure? Anything? Is yours an auto or manny?
  9. Not a bad idea...I guess I could convince Dad to order the JWT cam...the mild one. If it adds 15+ hp I'd be happy...I just want more midrange!
  10. if that isn't you...http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthreads/showfla...rt=1#Post482647
  11. Destinations, Geolandars, Terra Grapplers, REVOS, or Toyos are great.
  12. Forgot to tell XPLOR that I guess a compression and leakdown test will tell what needs to be rebuilt. The tapping at the bottom end tells me the whole engine is toast, but someone with more knowledge can chime in here.
  13. Thanks XPLOR. I wasn't sure if my manual tranny was the same as the VQ's manual trans, of if the housing was different. My problem is that wrecked manual Pathfinders aren't terribly commonplace. I figured an ECU would need to be swapped; not sure about bracketry, mounts, etc. All hidden costs. Any ideas of where to search for a wrecked R50, preferably in Atlanta? If this project is too complicated I doubt it will get off the ground, but I just want to be sure.
  14. Nissan is the Japanese Dodge. The build quality on my Pathfinder has been fine, but that was the old Nissan. Mom's Murano is a nice car, but the interior feels cheap. Nissan's new cars have poor quality. And GM has been catching up.
  15. I know, I know... 110k. It's a premature death, as it was run low on oil, causing the damage. :sniff:
  16. First off, I don't know what forum this should be in. I'm leaning towards R50 so here it is. I was about to sell the Pathfinder, but now the oil consumption has gone from normal/acceptable to GODDAMN! I've taken it off the market and will probably put $$$ into and keep it for a while. I'm either going to need a new engine or a rebuild. There is a lot of blowby, evidenced on the rear bumper above the tailpipe. It's now burning 1 qt/1000 miles, maybe more. The lifters clatter a few seconds on a cold start, much more than a normal motor. There is a very slight tapping at the bottom end as well. I'll get a leakdown/compression test when I get home in a month to see what the cause is. So here is the question. If I keep it for another 20k+ miles, which if I put another engine in it I will, I know I can go the Ebay route and pick up a used JDM engine with around 50k miles for $1,400 or so. But can I do a VQ35? I don't have bottomless pockets, nor technical expertise. A trusted shop, one of the best in ATL, will be doing all of the work. Can a VQ35 work? What mods will be needed?
  17. That was true, but the "reasonable and prudent" limit was abolished long ago. The night limit is 65, same as trucks. Passenger daytime is 75
  18. FYI Montana doesn't have the "reasonable and prudent" speed limit anymore. It's 75 MPH on I90. And the Pathfinder will do 110, but it shakes like crazy above 95. I just set cruise to 79 and stay in the right lane.
  19. Oh man, so that's it! They look the same! Plus you just don't see clears on R50s... Glad to hear it wasn't his rig that got wrecked! Shame though, that was a nice looking R50. Great paint!
  20. Who's is this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-NISSAN...1QQcmdZViewItem I was looking at Pathfinders on Ebay (I'm just looking for an $8,000 2001... ) and I saw this one. The ridiculous price caught my attention, then the nice Duelers, then the clear corners. It's not the average R50 grocery-getter. I know it from this forum...it's the guy with the Maxima too. What's his name, and if you're him, tell us what happened! Sorry if it's a repost!
  21. Jesus don't do those lights...don't rice the truck please!
