  1. UNICHIP and K&N air filter. Plus 29Hp and some torque too. And lower fuel consumption. Good luck!
  2. First of all I would like to ask you a question. I am looking on the net for brake rotors for my 2005 Pathfinder. I have to change them and I would like to put some aftermarket disks that are improving the braking abilities. All the brake rotor pictures I saw have 5 holes not 6 as I have on the wheel. Is that strange? I couldn't find one with 6 holes. They do not show the actual picture of the products. If you have any information on this issue I apreciate and also some links. I hope that the european model R51 has the same disks as the US R51. Second, searching on the net I discovered this: www.mattracks.com They have them also for R51 Pathfinder at a price between USD 24.000 and USD 32.000 a set of 4 . So if you live in a place that you may use them, go for it. It seems to be a lot of fun and also very usefull. Also search on Youtube for Mattracks. You will find some cool movies too. Good luck for 2009 and looking forward to some answers!
  3. Thanks, I got them. I can't find you at that address. Have you changed address?
  4. Of course I don't need to be told what to buy. Just want to know what do you use for this kind of duties. What are using friends or other people wiht this kind of activities. I will choose one, finally after studying them. Also I am from Europe so here we have a little bit other kind of tires that in the US. That is why I specially want to see what to look for like breaking on wet/dry, traction on/off road, traction on snow and so on. How the safety gadgets like EDB, ESP, ABS, ASR, are influenced by diferent type of tires specially when pulling heavy trailers? Thanx!
  5. I have a dilema. One of my friends has a pick-up Nissan Navara and he is going to pull a boat. The boat is heavy, in not an inflatable one. I know that is a very dangerous activity if it is not done as requested. One of his problem is to choose the right tires. What would you recomend for road but also some mud and some terrain? Thanx!
  6. That's why I use to read before I buy. I cannot buy all the tyres to check if are good or not. And they don't organize drive tests! They are making good things in Finland not only cell-phones at Nokia. Good luck!
  7. Try NOKIAN WR. I know that might be hard to find but I heard/read a lot of good things about them. I am going to buy a set.
  8. Hi! I saw some comments on the net regarding using wheel spacers to increase stability. Now I don't have such a large experince to understand that. That is why I ask you if you can tell me the pro's and con's regarding using wheel spacers on a Pathi. What else must be changed in order to accomodate wheel spacers? Thanx!
  9. We also do have cargo cover in Europe. Do you want one? I'll look for one if your dealer cannot find you one. Do you have the fixtures on the side for the cover?
  10. I made an engine tunning using external chip. If you would come to Bucharest I could give you the address and/or phone number. It was only 400USD. They are having Dyno measurements before and after. I also saw there another tunned Pathfinder that had 250 Hp with a 575Nm torque !!! Regarding the price, my car, which is a 2005 Pathfinder SE it was 39.900 Euro brand new from dealer. You can find second-hand Pathfinders on www.mobile.de Best regards!
  11. With engine tuning I got 205Hp and 500Nm. Little beast! Arround 26MPG combined urban/highway.
  12. Buy an european model. Diesel, 174Bhp, 420 Hm, automatic 5 gears, 12L/100KM (21 MPG). Price? "Only" 40.000 Euro for SE !! That means 52.000USD !!!Now what? You shoud be happy with the prices you have there! And BTW we pay around 1,2 Euro/L for unleaded or 1 Euro/L for diesel. That means an equivalent price of 4,95 USD/gallon. It seems that you should return the car to the dealer for a full refund or an exchange. Without any other comments. Or contact the manufacturer and file a complaint.
  13. I fixed the problem. I bought clear lense tail-light lamps from ebay but my car is european made so I had to change also the bulb sockets and in the same time I ordered LED bulbs. So I am waiting for the bulbs and sockets an I will post some pictures afterwards.
  14. This is the socket for which I want to find the part number:
