0merta Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hey, finally found a good site dedicated to the Pathfinder! I'm excited. Anyway, picked up a used 2000 Pathfinder SE just before Christmas. Sold my heavily modded 2001 Eclipse to get something larger and better in the snow up here in MN, and that is exactly what I got. Told myself I wouldn't mod the Nissan, but I got the bug after joining the Pathfinder R50 Facebook page. Hoping to do some exterior mods as I'm already comfortable inside. I'm thinking a small lift, cargo carrier/light bar, and bull/brush bar, and of course wheels and tires. But for now, just getting the truck maintenance done. It has 187k on it. Replaced the air filter, did an oil change, and replaced the factory TB coupler as she had a nice crack in her. Changed the three acc. belts, next up is the power steering rack. The truck itself is from Colorado, but the underside is VERY clean and rust free. I was shocked at how clean it was considering Colorado uses road salt/brine for anti-icing. Anyway, enough crap. Here is the truck the day I picked it up. I've since removed the rusty nerf bars and replaced the broken antennae with a non-power unit from an LE Pathfinder from the pick yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think he is commenting on the fact that it is different. Perhaps it is the spare?

Sounds like you have the right idea, just make it a little better and customize it some. Nothing you said is drastic or hard, or will significantly change the ride and handling characteristics, so why not? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome...I think he meant the other three didn't match the lone one. Is the '00 15" or 16"? The three are the same looking as the 16X7's salt eaten aluminums my '03. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks! Is there something special about it or it that an insider joke I don't understand...... Well it's a different rim than all the others...is it not?! It has more offset and a lip. Looks good. The others are stockers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIssanBoston Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome ! truck looks clean as hell for 187k miles, nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green180 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Welcome my r50 looks exactly like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0merta Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Ohh okay. I read trim. Lol. The wheels on it are all 16". I figured the mismatching wheel was the spare as it is missing from its cubby under the truck. I do like it, and wish the others were the same. But oh well. Thanks for the welcomes.

bushnut Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 nice truck! almost the same as mine...I would be thinking about doing the timing belt/ water pump replacement as you are getting close to the recommended service interval. I've got 4 of the stock aluminum 5 spokes if you want them, they are just taking up space in my shed....though you'll have to come and get them.

0merta Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Haha I dont need them that bad. They're getting replaced soon, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rons50 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Welcome and congrats. These Pathfinders are fun to drive especially if they have 4x4 and 5 speed manual. Like mine! lol. I did my oil change over the weekend and to my surprise the oil filter is situated as perfect and accessible not like other vehicles where oil just spills all over the place when your oil filter is set so cramped and at a bad angle. Thanks Nissan! Going to be doing the timing belt and water pump this month too. The only thing missing on my Pathy is the tow hitch and harness for the brake/signal lights. I'm looking for one anybody selling theirs. Edited March 2, 2015 by Rons50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
