    XENON HID Headlights

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted · Edited by FUELER

    I have a homemade plug and play harness for my nissan terrano regulus headlights.   I did not make this harness myself, but I can give you pictures so you have an idea. It was made using Nissan relays, the HID headlights get their power from the battery but power is triggered by the 9004 sockets (qx4 used 9004 sockets from 97-99... 99.5-00 use a different plug)

     

     Everything is powered except for the auto leveling, I do not have the plugs or switch for leveling but i would love it!!

     

       I want to upload a picture of the harness but I do not see an option to upload photos? Is this outsourced photo hosting only now?

     

    Control arm Bushings, OEM Vs. Polyurethane. Convince me

    My OEM bushings were toast at 100k miles (to the point where they were dangerous). I put the 4x4parts.com poly ones on and VERY glad I did because i've only wheeled it harder and harder. Now i'm at 210k miles and they are still great, no problems. Ride is still comfortable as well.

     

    If I would have gone OEM, i would probably be doing this nightmare of a job again.... rear control arm bushings are no joke in our SUV's.

     

    Poly are great even if you don't off-road. Your wife is gonna hit a curb in a parking lot and crack an OEM bushing, whereas the poly will take anything you can throw at it.

    coilover conversion

    not sure if its been done before or not but seems like converting the spring perches on factory style struts to accomodate smaller diameter springs could really help out with wheel and tire options on our rigs.............

    That is the most ghetto thing I have ever seen.

     

     

    Ebay coilovers are already a joke even when on their proper applications, i can't imagine the ride when cutting up your stock struts and fitting ebay chinese coilovers to fit a different application

    Replacing Boss stereo?

    Ideally, you would run new speaker wire to each door. Bypassing the rear amplifier for the two rear speakers and kludging the wiring for the front speakers is possible (I've done it), but it's probably better and easier to just run your own wire.

     

    Yup. For a professional system that will last a long time, remove all the bose and run your own wires (like me). I've had an extremely loud sound system in my R50 for like 7 years now and i'm glad I went thru the headache of doing it.

     

    If you don't really care that much about music, a bose adapter will suffice.

    best radiator for R50 Pathfinder / QX4 ?

    hey guys thanks for all your input.

     

    For now, I have put globs of JB weld on the crack, lol.

     

     

    I can get a OEM-style cheap replacement for $110 or an all aluminum rad for $155 (from www.radiatorexpress.com)

     

    which would you get?

     

     

    I hope the aluminum would be plug-n-play, i dont want to have to tap any threads like mentioned earlier.

    If your plastic top end is blowing off all the time you might want to check the coolant level and make sure that your head gaskets are still good. That should not happen at all unless you are using some bottom of the barrel aftermarket radiator.

     

     

    It's the first time it's happened on my QX4 in 200k miles... very hard miles, with several overheating episodes... i think 200k is not bad, no?

     

    I'm just saying, seems like all cars nowadays have plastic radiators.... and they always break in the plastic.... and not repairable.... replace only

    socal - stolen 95 Pathfinder

    in Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by FUELER

    Hello!

     

    My buddys 95 Pathfinder was stolen a few days ago, in San Diego, CA.

     

    It had a mild suspension lift (Calmini 3") With bilstein shocks. BFG 31's on Lego wheels. Leather interior (heated seats) and KC hilites up front.

     

    Missing one of the factory fog lights. Tailgate mounted spare.

     

    There is a REWARD offered to anybody who helps recover this truck (or helps to find the thieves).

     

    It could be in Mexico by now..... but i'm trying anyways.

     

    Thanks!!!

     

     

    Pic was taken a few days before the theft so it looks exactly like this:

    15x8 crager soft 8"s

    ive got 16x8 with 4 inch backspace.... (even tho my rim is an inch bigger in diameter, the offset and width is the same) and ya like getabby said above, the rim is just about flush with the plastic fender flare.

     

    i think the qx4 flare is just a tad bigger than the pathfinder flare.

    How to tighten up front end in 95 pathfinder ?

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

     

    working on a 1995 Pathfinder for another Baja trip. Getting the steering tight - The front sway bar is loose on its mounts and the front lower ball joints are shot.

     

     

    Do you have any recommendations for aftermarket parts?? Like aftermarket sway bar mounts or strong aftermarket lower ball joints?? Looking for stronger than stock!!!

     

     

    Thanks!!
