What is a good cheap tuner for a 99
-
The general consensus here is going to be that a "tuner" (especially a cheap one) isn't going to do anything, and if it does it certainly won't help with the longevity of your engine. A good old fashioned tune up is going to be the best way to get some performance and efficiency back out of your Pathfinder.
You having a VG33 there's a few things you can do to squeak a bit more power out of it (like 3.0 cams) if you'd really like, but more than anything that'll be for the fun of modifying it.
Basically, make sure it's in tip-top running condition and accept that realistically that's all you'll get.

Snohomish county in Washington is apparently a haven for car thieves.
Now my 1988 Pathfinder has been stolen, partially stripped and damaged. I got it back, but it was no longer drivable. The radiator was blown apart and a bunch of wiring was torn out of engine compartment. I had insurance coverage through state farm, but they are doing all they can to get out of paying for the claim. They sent Kim Robinson to talk with me about the claim this week, but it was really a 2 hour interrogation and not at all intended to resolve the claim. I was insuring a lot through State Farm until that meeting. My monthly premiums were over $400 for my Carver Yacht, 2006 Truck, the Pathfinder, and renters insurance. Now everything has been moved to Progressive and Metro Mile Insurance companies.
She asked me stuff like how long I worked for my employer, why I chose to not insure some of my vehicles for periods of time. Why I owned some vehicles that I didnt drive daily. Essentially, she was convinced I am trying to do something shady and she is on a fishing expedition to find out what exactly.

Hi guys just joined in from "Kenya"....I got one 1993 Nissan WHYD21 Pathfinder it's been out of the road for 7 Years and I just decided to put it together. I am here for a lot of information and source parts that I need..

That really IS me in the profile photo...
I just forgot to shave that day! (hehe!)

I always overlook this section, and I almost missed a gem! @RedPath88 remembered to shave before his pic

with 241k miles and unknown history the time has come to do the timing belt. I'm preparing resources, collecting P/N, and will be ordering parts soon.

I need to plan a trip into the city (Seattle/Tacoma) to go junkyard exploring for stuff...
-
Who would be interested in seeing me pick up an intake box from the junkyard (only ~$10) to do a detailed how-to on how to make the most out of the stock intake system without having to go to a full snorkel? It worked great for me and has worked great for those who I've passed the instructions onto so far, and I've been toying with doing a proper write up.

I got my first welding machine today!! Super excited. And yes, I know how to weld, just never had my own machine before. Going to school for it in a few months as well so thats a big plus

Built a custom roof rack basket that uses the old cross bar clamps to secure it the the stock rails!

Woo hoo! I've been thinking about picking up a machine myself, but our garage isn't wired for 220. I may have to get to work with the shovel and conduit and change that next year...
What welder did you get, and MIG or TIG? I've done MIG a little bit before, cool that you have experience already though.

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*

Hi, Everybody. This is Osmund. I just desire to greet everyone here from Las Vegas, NV. I relocated to Las Vegas, NV in Dec,. 2016 from South Bend area, IN. Mostly I have been working with public schools as a guest teacher in IN and NV for more than ten years. Partly, I like to visit National Parks in southwest of the U.S.A. For the past summer, I visited National Parks in MT, WY, ID, UT and AZ. on regular routes. The scenery there were amazing. If I could go off road there, I might see more beautiful scenery.
This morning I happened to find NPORA. Oh, That was it, in which I I wanted to joined. So that I could learn basic skills in off road knowledge.
I have a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder Le, white. It has 76,000 miles on it. I love it very much. I consider that as a Land Rover Defender. It does looks like it. does not it?
Again. It is nice to meet you here.
Sincerely yours
Osmund Liang

Well, it's gone. Hopefully the new owners take care of it like I did, they seemed like good people who know what they're doing. Doesn't make it hurt less.
-
Yup, it did happen. Really liking my new 4Runner though. Definitely lots of aftermarket, but man is it scary how similar it is to the QX4! Even the spare interior LED bulbs I had were the right ones to pop right in. As soon as I recover from the costs of this purchase I'll be regularly cruising Craisglist again as I always have, keeping an eye out for that one in a million dirt cheap rust free WD21 or R50.....I'm Pathy-less now, but not forever!

Very sadly getting rid of the R50 before winter. Looking at WD22 Xterra's, but the interior feels so cheap and crappy by comparison...
-
I thought about getting a rust free one, but I figured I'd rather get something with a frame for now; if I get another R50, I want it to be a second vehicle that I can keep out of the snow and SALT. Current plan is to celebrate college graduation with a plane ticket to Arizona and a few thousand bucks. Maybe have parts shipped down and go on adventures with forum folks on my way back up.

Looking for some M/T's

Camp shifts and daily driver shenanigans have kept me away from the pathfinder for a couple months now. Fingers crossed I can finish the last little bit of work she needs in a month or so and finally drive her...
-
Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone on this forum for all the help that has been provided to myself and others, as of today I've finally figured out the fix to my ABS light which has been on for almost 10 years now. The Pathy has never looked/functioned this good!
-
The Pathy gave me an early birthday present!! Finally got all the leaks figured out underneath her and only got to enjoy that for 3 or 4 weeks. Looks like one of my cv joints is starting to leak, not bad, but definitely need to address it soon. Yay!!! *suicide*

Sad news everyone, I regret to announce that Marvin is no more. The story of why: During the last dump of snow here
