have you considered maybe an SR20DET? It'd still get you that 250-300hp if that's your liking. And its a 4 banger turbo so it probably has a much higher chance of fitting than the VG30TT would.

Mine was rusted on and couldn't be removed. I ended up replacing that whole section of pipe.

In a nutshell, my brother was driving the pathy in the snow on Friday night and got cut off. He slammed on the brakes and the back slid out, sending him sideways into a lamp post. Front driver side wheel was ripped off the rim and front alignment was like a "Y" after we put the spare tire on. The front suspension has also "bottomed" out, one side is slightly higher than the other. Fender is mashed in and hood is bent up. I'd take pics but the pathy is at a shop right now so I'd have to get pictures later. What I'd like to be hopeful about though, is it possible for the torsion beams to just drop like that? And can it be cranked back up? I'm trying to be optimistic that the front can be cranked back up and that an alignment can be done to the front wheel to at least make it decently driveable again... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Oh, it's SL lifted on a Calmini 3" Kit.

You and everyone else where they use salt on the roads. o.O Had to box my frame and sadly, not a lot of welders here who know what they're doing, so it cost me $700 to have my frame reinforced.

My 95 is like that too. It takes two hands to pull the lever into 4wd, and takes my foot to kick it back up into 2wd. My uncle had the Pathy sitting for years before he gave it to me. I guess he never put it in 4wd.

You should try those lenses and perhaps get an HID retrofit kit?

Thanks for the info guys. That was the exact grill guard I was looking at. The seller also confirmed that it would not fit. Looks like I'll have to hunt for other options... Not a big fan of the pre runner bars.

Not sure I like the look of the prerunner bar... any pics of what it looks like on the truck?

Yeah, I saw it too, its a RAM Accessories one, seems the guy has some overstock back from when they did make these brush guards. The shipping kills the deal though. I just want a light bar or grill guard.

Hi, Was looking around at some Grill guards, and I was wondering if the mounting points for a 1987-1992 grill guard was different from the 94-95 models. The one I'm looking at says its only for a 1987-1992 Pathy, or 86.5-92 hardbody... can this fit (plug an play) on my 95? Or will some drilling and fabrication be required to make it fit? Thanks

Can the son in law mow lawns and wash cars? But case in point... can't always afford to buy the best parts for our cars, there's sometimes something else taking priority... Alas, settle for the pacesetter. Whatever, it may take a little elbow grease to make it fit properly, but it saves me $200.

Agreed, I'll settle for the pacesetters, and when they come in, i'll sand them down, spray them in dupont high temp ceramic, and if need be, i'll dremel the quarter sized hole to make it right. 200 more for Thorleys is not a price I'm willing to pay on a truck this old. Especially when I have 2 other vehicles that fight for the attention of my wallet...

Doesn't over filling the transmission cause problems? Is it ok to use Redline D4 ATF for the auto tranny, and Redline 75w90 for the diff?

If you are located in Canada, I can get you Redline at a reasonable price.

Duely noted. I'll keep the stop leak crap out of the engine. I'll leave the 10w30 for now and let it drip.

Well, for the record, when I first picked up my truck, there were no oil leaks. But after I removed the oil filter and replaced with Castrol Syntec 5w30, it started leaking like no tomorrow. I recently flushed the oil again (the colour was not pretty at all), and with a new filter, added Bardhal D1, and Engine Restorer mixed in with Castrol GTX 10w30. Well, its still leaking a tad bit, but not as much as before... I guess the thicker oil helps.

I put in 10w30 Castrol GTX. Still looks like its leaking. However the leak is a lot slower now. Should I just throw in a bottle of Stop Leak on the next oil change? Would I have to use that Stop Leak stuff everytime I change the oil?

Please let us know how the installation goes (especially the Zerk fitting part), I'm still a bit green when it comes to Pathfinders, but I'm looking to order the Calmini setup by the end of the month.

Gonna have to vote No on this one... I think you'd be better off with a 3" suspension lift for clearance rather then a 3" BL.

Be wary of the exhaust... my Pathy came with a newish cat back... but the cat had a crack in the flange... the removal of the cat to install a magnaflow replacement ended up as a nightmare... removing the cat broke the midpipe, which ended up being replaced by a Bosal mid pipe... which also resulted in the requirement of a new o2 sensor... and the replacement of the midpipe ended up with a leaky Y pipe.. unless it was already leaky... which will end up with the replacement of the headers and Y pipe with a Pacesetter piece... so... much... rust...

Did you bend your own lines? Is it hard to do? I'm contemplating doing this myself, but it would also be the first time I tackle any job like this.

From my understanding there is only one sensor for ABS in the rear. I get my ABS light coming on every now and then... I'm still newbie to the Pathfinder game, so hopefully someone else can shed a little more light on this.

Any idea what size/type of fittings our pathfinders use?

I heard there was a kit or something where you can bend your own hard brake lines? Any idea where I might find this stuff?

What's wrong with the pacesetters? Do they rust like all hell? It's already ordered so I think its too late for a refund... Perhaps I could just coat them in Dupont high temp ceramic paint?
