    new heads for my 93 have a different style distributor, need help

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Ok so I pulled the heads from another pathfinder but am unsure of the year but I'm pretty sure it was in the 90-95. I've already installed them and just found that the way the distributor mounting is a little different. I can make a little bracket to make it work but I want to know if I might be missing a bracket from the donor or if I might be missing a bracket from the donor or if that distributor from the donor would work on my 93

    Sub Frame drop

    Yes, your A arm angle is extreme. And one other possibility is that at full droop your suspension arm goes so low as to bind your CV axles. Do that while moving and they would immediately break. (I'm not sure about that, but it's a possibility you should check in to).

     

    You won't be able to make your camber alignment with 5 inches of lift either without the help of some custom fabrication in the area of the lower strut mount I would think.

     

    If you drop the sub-frame 2.5 inches, you will then have a 2.5 inch suspension lift. That might work out OK. You would be on the edge of obtainable camber angle, but with 2 sets of camber adjustment bolts per side or camber bolts plus some enlarging/relieving of the top strut hole you can probably obtain that.

     

    Not sure of the accuracy of all that I just said, so I would appreciate a second opinion.

     

    i got it to work by ovaling the holes on the strut and adjust and tighten the bolts my self, as far as the alignment it was just a quick tow n go. you are right about the CVs they absolutly hate me and have broking 2 since lifting it a while ago. so straight axle here i come!!

    I have never tried it, but you might be able to apply a little heat to adjust the contour a little. Maybe you can get a slightly better fit?

     

    idk ill try it but I think since is poured in to a die to be made I don't think it will bend like PVC or ABS

     

    Looks good.

     

    I'd be concerned with visibility...looks like an easy reason for an officer to pull you over. :ph33r:

     

    Love the color of your Pathy, by the way!

     

     

    I honestly don't see it at all, but at night when I go under a street light I am reminded that its there by its freaky shadow that looks like its going to hit me while Im driving lol

    so ended up getting a snorkel that was off of a second gen toyota truck cause the contour look about the same as the R50 body and heres how it came out, it leans in a little bit but does not effect visabilty.1400193_10200931094425263_1568640945_o.j

    Looks good! How much of a pain was it to get the doors off? Did you have power windows and locks?

    very easy the fronts for example

    1.take the wedge pin out of the part that prevents the door from opening to much.

    2.with a buddy unbolt 2 bolts per hinge on the door part starting at the bottom.

    3.remove door and feed wiring harness out of piller intell you get to the plug and unplug.

     

    note: make sure you unlock doors before removing other wise when you go to open the rear hatch the alarm will go off.

    when you do this your rear window loose complete funcionality. so i just took the rears off ;)

    Not sure about other states but cali requires 2 mirrors. I just ran all 3 to make it look even i ran in to some street bike mirrors for 15$ and there carbon fiber so i gained atleast 15 horespower.........minimum :lol:

     

    All that being said i acually gained power to the wheels and gas milage. Going to bakersfield i got 17-19MPG towing a 17' trailer on stock size wheels

    Where do you wheel at? I went to Clay Pit in Oroville. That was actually a little more fun that I thought it would be.

     

    Most of the pictures are on Old HWY 32 which is present humbolt road in chico. Clay pits is alotta mud, they have that rock

     

    Did you have any positive camber issues?

    I had bad camber issues when i finished this about 4-5 deg positive on each side but i slotted the strut holes and worked great.
