  1. Hi. I had my AT rebuilt a few months ago before Covid-19 visited the world. My rig worked fine until my engine rpm gauge no longer worked. The transmission also started shifting incorrectly. I checked my manual and advised to check the engine revolution sensor. There is no resistance on both terminals. Made additional test and found to have disconnected terminals. Is there somebody who have tried converting a sensor used by the new models to the old one like mine or did someone repaired their damaged sensor? I have a 1993 TD27 Turbo Diesel Terrano/Pathfinder. Tried looking for parts online but was not successful. I saw some online store from Russia and UK but I am not sure if they are legit. Thanks for the help. I have attached a copy of the sensor and the part# below:

      I don't know the TD27 but I'd be surprised if Nissan didn't use a similar sensor on something else. If you've got the resistance specs for what the sensor should be, you may be able to match it to a sensor from something else that might be close enough to keep the computer happy. If the old sensor's junk, you're not gonna make it any less useful by pulling it apart to look for a broken solder joint or something.

    Hello NPORA,

     

    I'll admit I have been stocking this forum from the shadows of the internet and decided today was the day to join. I also understand that my questions have most likely been asked and answered at least a dozen times so don't hesitate to point me to an existing thread. About a year ago I picked up my first 4x4, an 02 SE, automatic with 117k on it at the time of purchase. I've offroaded a few times in my uncle's 3rd gen 4runner and '85 Landcruiser but have not had the opportunity to have a rig of my own until now. 

     

    First Impressions: 

     

    On the highway, the Pathfinder is a rocket ship compared to the 4runners. Even while driving at elevation the Pathfinder still out performed the 4runner climbing mountain roads. I'm 'whipped for the VQ35de. Harsh winters are common here in Nebraska and the Pathfinder handled the snow/ice this year without a hiccup. With harsh winters comes the salt on the roads. The amount of rust on the undercarriage is not terrible given the vehicle has been in the southeastern part of Nebraska its entire life. However, the plastic fender flares are packed with dirt and also trapped a lot of moisture causing some rust on the body around the wheel wells. Poor design, IMO. (see attached photo) Overall, I'm highly satisfied with my purchase and can't wait to get started on making it my own overlander. 

     

    Question 1:

     

    Has anyone here ever coated the bottom half of the body with bed liner? How did it turn out? Do you regret the decision? I plan on removing the flares, cutting out the rust and trimming the well up to fit 31's and coating the bottom 1/4 or so of the body with bedliner to prevent further rusting. 

     

    Question 2:

     

    Has anyone here ever installed an air locker or e locker for either of their diffs? Which brand/model did you go with and why? Have you experienced any problems with the vehicle since installing the locker? 

     

    Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. Send me your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

      First off, best to start a thread for this, the status update thing is kinda awkward to read and use.

       

      I've seen a few threads on bedlining the sides, not sure about underneath, but yeah, if it comes unstuck it'll make a lovely moisture trap. A friend of mine bedlined the sides of his S10 Blazer and it's worked out pretty well for him. Hides some questionable bodywork, too.

      Ratcheting or air lockers are available for these. IIRC the ratcheting ones install in the open diff carrier in place of the spider gears, the air lockers replace the carrier entirely. The front's an R200A and the rear is a 33-spline H233B, if that helps. There was also a factory limited slip that can be rebuilt for better lockup, or IIRC you can use the 3rd member from a first-year Xterra (higher breakaway torque than the R50s got). The later years of R50 really got hosed with their LSDs, they have much lower breakaway torque than earlier models. Hawairish has done some great writeups on messing with axles.

  3. Time for the game: When does it blow out?

    My transfer case is slowly dripping fluid and for now, its a guessing game of when it blows lol *Suicide*

      Open the fill plug and see if it's low. Topping it up is a little more challenging but easier than replacing the transfer case.

  8. Ever wondered how the electric variable shocks work? I tore one down tonight (this morning?) to find out. Pretty simple and not quite what I was expecting. Video to come.

      I didn't find any valve for direct filling. I'm not sure how they filled it at the factory. Seems like you could drill a hole and solder a valve stem into it though.

      That's probably why I keep finding busted WD21s on Craigslist for $300-400.

  19. What are your favorite, or least favorite, features in a front bumper?

    1. Slartibartfast

      Slartibartfast

      I saw a bumper online a while back that had lockable storage built into it in the empty space on either side of the winch, thought that was clever.

  20. I'm having electrical problems, when I turn my WD21 off, the dash lights stay on to get them to turn off I have to turn it over for about a second and stop then the dash lights go off. Help?

      Marker light contacts in the headlight switch sticking?

  21. Is it possible to put a roof rack on a WD21 without drip rails?

    1. Slartibartfast

      Slartibartfast

      I don't think the WD21 ever had drip rails. The stock one just screws into the roof.

  24. Recently I have had trouble getting my 87' pathfinder in gear upon starting the ignition. The weird thing is it goes into gear when the car is turned off. I need to know more about the interlocking button on the dashboard. I am not too savy on cars mechanisms. I have owned many cars with stick shifts. My male friend who has owned many cars looked at it and now the car goes into gear but the emergency brake sign is in and the 4wd green sign is on. Can anyone shed some light on this situati...

    1. Slartibartfast

      Slartibartfast

      I would go to "the garage" and start a thread with the issues it's having--hopefully someone with better knowledge of the manual trans will see it there and give you better info than I can.
