  1. havent checked yet but I think Im going to need a tranny replacement for my 88, somewhere on the forum there was mentioned an upgrade for the 5speed tranny,

    Im running a jdm 3.3  engine, 95 electrical from tail lights to headlights, 95 dash, and if I read the tag right it has 4.36s gears and it feels like it.

     any thoughts on an upgrade on the manual tranny,

    thanks in advance   

  2. you could try disconnecting the upper and lower hoses and see what kind of flow you get thru the rad with a water hose. or pull the rad and take it to a radiator shop and have them check it

  3. unless they have changed, the defroster lines are like a paint,there are repair kits but mainly for broken sections.your best bet is find

    one at pick and pull, if you have volt ohm meter check at the male spades at the top of the glass if you have continuity all the lines are good

  4. Just ran into that exact problem with the oil filter housing. I originally had done a mod on the bracket, which helped extend the alternator to clear the filter, but it put the alternator into contact with the steering unit. Yesterday I pulled an oil filter mount off of a JY Xterra that is thinner and changes the filter angle. This also makes it MUCH easier to install the higher amp alternator.

    when I did mine I used parts from a 2000 exterra the angled oil filter mount a/c bracket and ps bracket, crank pulley.

    I think I posted all I did to mine including a 95 dash and main wiring from taillights to headlights plus the smaller harnesses

  5. what I did on both of my 88s 1 auto 1 5 spd was change out the dash and the main body harness, a lot of work but I love the rounded dash.

    The wiring harness goes from the taillights to the headlights you'll also need the tranny wiring harness for which ever tranny you use.

    I used a 2001 xterra alt and a/c bracket and the ps bracket to get the alt and ps on the proper side and used the crank pulley from the 3.3
