  1. I'd get the Denso equivalent http://densoautoparts.com/find-my-part/vehicle-selection
  2. And where would you put the flat 33" tire? I suppose it could go on the roof temporarily if you got a flat.
  3. Just wanted to verify those were the correct part numbers for my 8/00 build-date Pathy with the 3.5L VQ motor. I ordered one #1 coil and one #2-6 as spares. I installed the new ones this weekend and the old-but-working coils are now in the spares box in the trunk. Thanks again AkPrecision!
  4. On the very first VQ Pathfinders like mine the shape of the first coilpack is different- not sure why they did it like that because starting in late 2001 models they're all the same.
  5. Awesome, thanks for the info as i was getting confused with so many different part#s and the build date discrepancy.
  6. Interesting, same thing happened to me after cleaning the TB (never touched the MAF) and after two years it's still idles high. There's no idle screw adjustment on the VQs. You do have to do idle relearning either through the Nissan Consult tool or via the ignition key on/off sequence- which I did multiple times to no use. All my research showed the TB has to be replaced due to the motor control solenoid which supposedly very easily can short out. In fact, I read in some cases the bad solenoid would also short out the ECU component that controls the idle and you end up having to replace both. Personally I've been living with it but eventually I'll try to find a TB on fleabay or a the junkyard.
  7. Cool, I see multiple listed which part #s did you get for your 2001? The build date on mine is 8/00.
  8. Look good. However, I keep wanting deep all-orange sidemarkers similar to the current Tacomas that use them as DRLs.
  9. I'm about 150miles (x1.6 for kms?) south of SB. What brings you to SB? CA is a great place with lots of fruits and nuts
  10. Did you make sure the mechanic reconnected the abs cables/sensors?
  11. I have no idea what the difference is between the two KYB part#s but my guess would be similar to your's (higher valving). If so, it'll actually be better with your higher rated springs.
  12. Have you tried replacing the gas cap?
  13. Bumpsteer is more than likely bad alignment or loose tie-rods. Not sure on the rattle; it could be a lot of things so I'd start with tightening everything up from the strut to calipers to transmission mounts etc.
