Your Pathfinder Info
Its a 1998 nissan pathfinder chilkoot with a 3 inch suspension lift kit with 33 inch tires and wheel spacers. It also has some crazy offset. The tires stick out 4 inches past the fender flares. It also has a light bar in the bumper, a cb radio and a offroad jack mounted in the roof rack.

In case anyone is interested in how it went, I successfully swapped out the struts for stock ones using the lift springs. Works perfectly and I am quite happy with the results.
-
Ok. Good to know. I'll order up some new struts today then
-
So would you suggest buying a new strut assembly (or two) and putting in the larger spring that is currently on my current strut on the new one? This is what I have been considering as my main option, but I'm not 100% sure that is best as the suspension will be limited to how far it can travel. Thanks for the suggestion though. Ideally, I would like to avoid using coil spacers.

So recently my Pathfinder had been making some noise in the front right suspension, and I just found out today that is is being caused by a blown strut. Now of course my pathfinder has a suspension lift on it meaning that the strut is 2 inches bigger that stock. So my question for anyone who knows is, where can i get a replacement lifted strut? I am not sure if a lifted one from a newer pathfinder will fit. I'm also not sure if the strut is maybe out of a different model like a Xterra or something similar, or even if it is a factory strut with just a bigger spring?? Point being I don't really know what the strut is. All i know is that its 2 inches bigger than stock and that its blown. If anyone has any advice on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just as an update, I did tighten up the cables and there is no longer any slack in the pedal. Any pressure applied to the pedal now gives the engine throttle, as well I find that the cruise control actually is more responsive and accurate. Definetley would recommend tightening up these cables on your pathfinder if you haven't done it already
-
On my 1998 Pathfiner r50, I noticed that the throttle cable was loose and wanted to tighten it up, only problem is, there's another cable attached to the throttle body. I assume this cable is for the cruise control. I would like to tighten up both of these cables in order to achieve better pedal response, but I am unsure whether I will mess up the cruise control. So question being, am I able to tighten up both these cables and not mess up the cruise control in any way, or if I do this will my cruise control no longer work properly? The image included shows the cables I am referring to. Keep in mind, this is not my engine. Its an image I found online, but it is the same engine as mine and has the same throttle cable.

thats helpful. thanks

In my vehicle I have some mad belt squeak and its starting to get annoying. After a bit of research I determined that I don't have enough tension on the belts. Knowing this I looked under the hood and sure enough there pretty loose. I also noticed that there is not automatic belt tensioner's. So with this in mind, How can i adjust the tension on my belts? If anyone knows, that'd be helpful. Visual aids would also be helpful.
-
I checked it out. The trail does look really easy compared to some I've done, but it looks like it could be fun.
-
Sounds pretty good. Ill look through that and let you know how it goes when i do it here in the next couple of weeks

I am soon to be replacing inner and outer tie rods as well as ball joints on my pathfinder and am in need of some torque specs. I am unable to find them anywhere and was wondering if anyone knows them from experience, or knows a source where I could find them. Any information on the topic is helpful. Also, if anyone has any tips or tricks on doing this procedure, it would be helpful.

I personally bought a 24 inch light bar that is mounted in my bumper for 75$ on amazon and I've go no complaints. I also got a wiring harness for 18$ which did need a bit of modification. Honestly though for 75$ you cant go too wrong. Compared to price of some other ones I've seen out there, I could buy 6 of these for the same price. Here's a pictures of mine
-
Thanks for the help. I'll look around.

I have a 1998 r50 and I am looking to upgrade the skid plate. The stock stock skid plate just isn't cutting it for me and I was wondering if anyone has gone so far as to replace it. If anyone has, do they know where I can buy one? If not has anyone made one before? And if they have, how'd you do it? The more information the better.
-
That's helpful. I'll look into it. Thanks
