  1. I'm looking for a piston and rod from a 3.0 or 3.3. It doesn't need to be good. I don't want a broken one. It's for a project and not going inside an engine. Hopefully someone has one lying around that they would be willing to part with for cheap.
  2. I can’t help with the size and pitch, if you can somehow secure it better that it is now, it would be a benefit to you. They call those things damage multipliers.
  3. I have tried to upload a pic but it says it’s too big. I have cropped the pic, but it’s still too big. I wanted to show it next to the cruise switch to give people an idea of what it looked like. It’s physically larger than the cruise switch. It’s not too bad. I like the fact I didn’t have to put in just a plain old rocker switch that would look out of place. Wiring was easy.
  4. I had it within 1 week. They are out of SC. I’m in California. So that’s pretty quick. You can buy different covers if you want. Pop the old one off, put the new one on.
  5. Do you have any rca wires running an amp? Sometimes the rca wires ran near the power wire, if you have an amp hooked up, will cause issues. If it’s just the head unit with no amp, plug wires are likely causing the issue. Why it effects the radio, I’m not sure. Could be spark plug related as well.
  6. I’m no electrical guru. Your idea makes sense. What I did do, I ordered a switch that I could customize. I can put what I want on it, as long as they have it listed. They have a lot of available pictures to chose from. You can chose your text, and where you want it to be on the switch cover. It was relatively cheap considering. It was less than $30. The switch is a bit larger than the cruise switch. The symbol and writing are back lit. When the antenna is powered on, the light at the bottom will illuminate. I have no affiliation with this site. I happened to find it when I was looking at rocker switches. www.rockerswitchpros.com
  7. I have a 95 pathfinder. I grabbed a cruise control switch out of a 91 pathfinder. The wiring colors are the same except one wire. They are also in different locations compared to the 95. I’m guessing they should go to the same places? So what I’m trying to do is rig up a switch that will control my power antenna. The head unit I have only has one power lead for the antenna or amp. So I’m using it for the amp. I want to wire up a separate switch for the power antenna. My hope is I can use the cruise switch to operate the same way it does for the cruise control turn on. So I would like the switch to not be powered up unless I push the button, and not keep power if I turn off the ignition. Then when I turn on the ignition again, the antenna won’t power up unless I push the button. I hope this makes sense.

    New Engine?

    The bore is a bit larger on the 3.3 compared to the 3.0. The stroke is the same. If you are going to rebuild the engine, maybe use the 3.0 crank? This saves trying to get an adapter for the crank pulley. The big end of the crank is the same between the two. The small end is not though. It’s about .024 larger on the 3.3.
  9. http://imgur.com/a/MwZvO7E Is this the correct way to do it from imgur?
  10. I'm an old fart according to this. Oh well.
  11. Oil questions are interesting. Everyone has their brand they prefer. The most important thing, change it regularly. Doesn't matter if it's dino or synthetic. Personally I have started using 10/30. Summers get hot here, winters aren't that bad. Rarely freezes here.
  12. California has a law that they need to be under 30 inches and more that 12 inches. They sit around 26 inches I believe. So I'm hoping I don't have any issues with the police. Anyway, you can somewhat aim them using washers, in case I need to aim them down more. You have to get about 12 inches off the ground before you are looking directly into the lights. This is about 25 feet away. So I think I should be ok? One other thing that frustrated me about wiring them up. For some reason the black is hot and the green is the ground. It took me a few to figure that out.
  13. The last I heard, tapatalk on this forum isn't your friend. Maybe that has changed?
  14. Add another ground to the maf. Make sure you get the right wire. If not, melt down. The reason I say to add another ground to the maf, I have read that the ground will occasionally drop causing issues. I did take it in to the dealer looking for a part and a tech was there also. He verified about the extra ground. It won't hurt, it just might help.
  15. What are the chances it's the sensor in the distributor? I had a miss at around 2500 rpm's. I tried a lot of things. I replaced the distributor, fixed. If you know someone who has a good one to try it first. It's easy enough to swap out. Just mark your distributor prior to removing it.
  16. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DaPfMiSZBWQDKFvN8 Let's see if this works.
  17. Thus isn't necessarily hard core. More like soft core. Anyway I have a 95 pathfinder and I really dislike the fog lights. We do get fog here but they really don't do anything. I had purchased these a couple years back for a custom bumper build wanted to do. So far that hasnt happened, so i figured I would put them in the factory position. I probably could have moved them a bit more outward, but not much. I had some expanded metal left over so that's what I used to cover up the open areas. I would say it's a 5 foot bumper. From 5 feet away it looks good. I didn't take the time to make everything smooth and fancy. I wanted them useable. We all know the factory headlights leave a lot to be desired in terms of light output. These were $50 each if I remember correctly. They are spots, not fogs. I needed more light output. You can't even tell the headlights are on with them on sitting in the rig. I can't get a pic small enough to upload. I closed photobucket because of the pricing. I don't have any other way to upload the pic unless I can turn the resolution down on my phone and take another pic? Any ideas?
  18. I don't blame you. Buy quality when you only want to do the job one time.
  19. What have you done to your rig? Lift, bigger tires, wider tires? I have a 95 4x4 5 speed, 2" suspension lift, 2" body lift, stock 31" tires. I get about 17mpg. I don't drive it like I stole it. I shift at around 4000k rpm's. When do you shift? Do you lug it? I mean shift at low rpm's? Max torque is around 3800k rpm's.
  20. Like Adam said, leave it in place. You won't be able to go any faster with it removed.
  21. That's the reason I don't skimp on certain things.
  22. I'm getting about 17 mpg.
