Nice to see some development going on for Nissans!

[Name this switch!]

I was thinking rear window defrost?

The pathy is looking good Mark! I was hoping we might get to see it & you at Harlan!

[How low can you go on a SAS WD21?]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I have the Automotive customizers 3" rear lift coils, but they're been sagging recently, so my rear is sitting a but lower than the front. I could adjust the coil-overs lower, but it would severely limit the uptravel then.

 

Here's a pic of it sitting flat. It's on 35" tires. I could lower it 2 inches easily and put 33" tires and it be fine:

[How low can you go on a SAS WD21?]

My goal on my SAS was to be as low as possible. It was tough fitting in all the 3 link hardware, but it was doable. I still have probably 3"+ of up travel, and tons of downtravel. Having a 2" body lift before doing the SAS helped...

[Mr.510's VG33 Crank Adaptor.]

So anyone had any luck getting a hold of one of these crank adapters recently? I tried email & facebook and received no replies... Looks like the 96' Canadian D21 harmonic balancer route might be the way to go!

[Hey all, new to the forum!]

Welcome! Nice to see more 1st gen Pathies!

[First Pathfinder]

Looks great!

[First pathfinder love it but have a few questions]

Welcome! I'd recommend checking out 4x4parts.com - they have a good selection of aftermarket parts for pathfinders.

[Rugged Rocks Pathfinder VG33 Engine Build]

Hey Steve, great thread. Just saw your rig's feature in Four Wheeler - great write up! Timely too - my VG30E's oil light came on and started spewing oil out of the harmonic balancer area last weekend on a wheeling trip. I'm hoping it's just a bad seal or bad oil pump, but it was sounding rough by the time I got it on the trailer... I may try to go the VG33 route as well, but I'm more hoping to find a lower mileage one that I can just pulley the pulley adapter on and go rather than have to re-build it. Keep up the updates!

Looks good, I like it!

Here's another one from last weekend - before I either blew a seal or oil pump trying to pull out the hardbody...

OK, here are some pics!

Hi All,

 

Long time Nissan enthusiast finally joining NPORA. I've been a NOAS member for quite a while. Have a 95 XE-V6 pathy with Custom SAS, read disk swap, and tons of other mods.

 

Joining to get info on 3.3L swap and rear drive shaft mod options for the amount of lift I have.

 

Looking forward to sharing my knowledge too!

 

Thanks!
