Precise1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome to NPORA, Richie! Yeah, the oil filter is in a pretty lame place and angle makes sure you drip on the starter (mine is relocated). There's a few things like that, but every vehicle has its quirks. I replaced a timing belt in a 1995 2 years ago with 96k on it, and it was in fairly good shape, all things considered. You could probably run it a bit longer, until it warms up to do it, but don't put it off too long! I took a dead tach swapped it into another cluster put it in another Pathy and it came back to life and worked fine. I have no answers other than a junkyard or a part-out if you've already re-torqued everything. Plenty of threads about exhaust so look it up. Everything from cat back set ups to full headers, free flow cats and custom piping through Flowmasters. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z33r350z Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was, oh, somebody's doing an engine swap... well you never know i love the VQ sound and ive been searching for another low miles HR to build and swap into the Z. im was born into nissan so i will only use nissan motors. dad had an old 88 hard body when i was like 1-6 then he got a 97 hard body mom got ride of her bronco to get a 99 1/2 path se then we fwll off the wangon for a bit getting ride of the hardbody for a 2003 ram 1500 hemi to pull a trailer and the pathfinder for a scion xb i saved every dime i had and when i turned 17 pick out my own nissan my z then sold the ram for a 09 froniter and now i have my pathfinder. i will put pix up when i get home i have tons of the z and i do a lil photography on the side so i have some crazy pix of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z33r350z Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 thx everyone means alot to me alot of blood sweat in tears into the z i am the original owner of the car and am keeping it that way no one works on it but me so i know its done right. Now the pathy has officially earned the right to be modded further i took it through snowy woody trails just big enough for it to fit including a huge incline that was like 75 % grade i was amazed when the trail was blocked with a tree no problem i made my own trail or found my own path if you will lol. tommarow if its not frezzing i was be trying to fix the torision bar to stop the scarping install some other odds and ends but i think i will be getting myself a 3" body lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
