Like it says.. doing water pump timing belt and thermostat.. everything is going back together nicely..except that darn belt! I've got all the markings lined up on the motor but the belt just won't line up to them (white stripes, dotted line) Everything i can find says these marks MUST line up.. is this actually true or can i just line it up as close as i can and proceed?

We're around here somewhere.. my truck is currently off the road but i'm always willing to help to where i can.

No worries there Terra.. an alt. swap is on "The List" A 1000w amp and 2x10's are too hard on the stock set up as it is. I've decided to take the truck off the road for a year. The money typically spent to keep to it going will be spent on repairs and/or upgrades... I've been running it stock, on 31's, for 8 HARD years now.. dd and weekend warrior. I love my ride..and with kids almost grown, and being single again, we're both ready for the next steps. The plan is to get some info and decide if the motor is worth keeping or needs replacing.. the truck itself is in very good shape and worth rebuilding. A small body lift, beefier steering components, shocks.. all the fun stuff to accommodate bigger tires. AC goes out, onboard air goes in? I think i'll start a build thread for myself. Would that go in the garage or where? It would be a good way to keep track of everything i want to do/have done, as well as gathering info from the multitude of minds here at NPORA!

That's quite the idea Ski... I've thought about on-board air a time or two in the past. I'd feel better re-using it than tossing it away too! As for discharge laws.. i already plan on having a mobile unit come and deal with it. I do try and be enviromental where i can. Although, while driving a thirsty little 4x4 and spending every extra dime on parts, insurance and extra fuel (i do use mine off road).. i like to joke about my carbon footprint being jurassic in nature

Hello all.. as stated, got a 93 that i've taken off the road and putting some work into. Looking at a new water pump (why its off the road) timing kit, an electric fan conversion and possibly removing the AC system. I have found gobs of info for both timing and water pump. Even glanced something about a fan swap.. i'll be looking into that some more The only thing i cant find info about is removing the ac. Tons to be found about putting it back, diagnosing and repair it. As near as i can tell from common sense and the teardown manual.. it seems fairly straight forward. Guess i'm looking for opinions and/or info from the knowledgeable Nissan nuts around here

That did 'er.. Thankyou sir!

Has been a loong time but i need to ask the resident experts for help. Before you bombard me with with "search you idiot".. i have been trying. No luck yet.. Also unable to find anything in the teardown book The interior lights are staying on (d'uh). This came up right after putting shocks on to hold the rear door up. i'm sure there is a switch in there somewhere..? if you push on the door near the latch the lights go out for a minute but then pop back on . Turning them off works for the passenger and cargo areas but the floors stay lit up so i've been disconnectoing the battery for the last couple nights. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank You

request sent... watch for the "voted most likely to go psycho on your whiny as" pic

Hey all..i have my Mom visiting from Ontario and she wants to go 4x4'in next sunday.. Sadly, my usual offroad partner has moved to the island. I'm looking for anyone who wants a day out messin around. I can do fsr's solo but i wont even try anything else unless there's another truck around. To much can happen on the trails to risk it.

Headin over in a week, give or take a day or 2, find them trails an fun stuff to run! WOOT! WOOT!

Come the end of this month there will be one more of you islanders. My buddy DVO is headin that way. somewhere called Whisky Creek? He drives a dark red/maroon WD with Wile E. Coyote on the bug deflector.Usually dirty as hell. If ya happen to spot him..honk, wave..hell..even aproach him an let him know yer an NPORA member. We've had a hard time finding Pathy's to run with on the mainland..mebbe you island guys have more spirit! Thanks! Skwerly

Tons of trail..even more mud and muck and soupy slop. What a blast!!!

The Silverdale Husky is located @ 29684 Lougheed Highway Mission, BC v4s 1h3 Google Maps should get ya there... if you have any probs lt me know and we can likely figure something out.

I dont think anyone is worried about thread jackin...this thread is OLD. In fact..im surprised its still going.

This is getting almost depressing... where are the west coast Pathy owners hiding? We cant be the only guys that actually USE our rigs.. can we? ;P

Here's the skinny. My best friend and "brudder from anudder mudder" DVO/Kev is moving to the island at the end of july. We're doin his last run before moving and i thought it might be nice for him to see a couple more Pathy's with us. He's a great guy and deserves a decent send off we're meeting at the Silverdale Husky @ 9a.m on July 4 '10 Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us..we always love seein Pathy's/Nissans on the dirt! Thanks for reading! Skwerly

all the crap ya put on yer ride to try and keep it safe is really only a deterent for the petty guys..sadly..the determined thief can always find a way. Hmmm...wonder if i can make the truck electrified..touch a door...ZAP!! Hehe..that'd be fun

Are you kidding?? do the cops ever catch the thievin bastages?? Hell..My wife and i did more to recover my truck than they did. I even had it out of the towing yard and repaired before the cops called to tell me it had been found!!

wow..havent been in here fer a bit. took a lot of work..but the truck is back up to par. Not gonna replace the bushbar. All is well And yes..its more secure now. Expensive lesson..but one ill not forget..ever.

headin out today 'round lunchtime fer a bit of wheelin.. nothing serious. Short notice, i know..but if anyone is interested in joining give me a call @604 562 7313.

Stave is alright.. just watch out for the crazy people up there. I tend to stick to the backside around Sylvester rd.

This place has been invaluable to me..im in fer $20. This community is simply AMAZING..i've never seen so many people willing to help someone like this. you guys all rule! keep us posted about the stickers..i've wanted one for a while and knowing that some of the proceeds will help is just icing on the cake!

hehe..im on FIBC too..same handle. i went to last years Newbie Run..it was just too much big for me tho. I prefer the smaller gtg's. Especially with the NPORA guys..that way i dont hafta take any crap about driving a Pathy. Seems you need to be thick skinned to deal with the fibc folx. i used live out at Lake of the Woods. would you happen to know if American Creek Rd. is still accessable from the old hwy?

If its IFS and stock friendly..count me in. DVO is moving to the island @ the end of sept so if its before then he'll likely come out too.
