  1. Thanx again, I think I got a question brewing thats not readily answered by search button, so I can get down to something with some grease and busted knuckles, Thanx all.
  2. Awesome, I wheel to fish and camp, and sometimes get to work. Fisherman,(&women), seem to have a better appreciation of nature and most @!*% in general. props lady, and to not quite answer your question..I don't think so, nut never tried

  3. Hell yes. Machinists are a dying breed my friend, a little unity is a rare thing. And if I had my druthers, I'd rather fish up in your stomping grounds. Salmon ban here(regional), and usual CA gestapo limitations, and report cards...but I am a good boy, and pay out the butt for my license, and follow the rules. Out of curiosity, as far as machining goes, do you have a specialized area of expertise, or machinist as in machinist. I personally manage,(program, setup,babysit,un-f*&K) a small dpt for 4-axis turning centers. It is indeed an honest living. (Lather as in nickname given to lathe dpt fearless leader by felonious crew members, not as in one who foams at the mouth. Usually)
  4. I am not a serious wheeler I suppose, but I need the 4wd in the winter, and sometimes dodging jack-asses in the snow gets fairly serious....stupidity is so contagious (no offense to jack-asses who can fricken negotiate their situation) If you get up this way man, drop me a line. I know some fine pristine places and mostly down xx-miles of bad road..the Sierra Trek, Thousand Lakes Trail, all my backyard. kinda. I don't know your guy, but it's a small world so If I meet him, I will. After reading all the stories about pathys and hardbodys, I am inspired to do my own longevity test, 'mantainenece schedule' ,swap out timing belt, water pump, and normal tune up & lube whatnot. It was mama owned and city driven, so if I maintain and drive in the conditions for which this ride seems to target for, I think it's a fair test...ish
  5. Well thanks for the welcome everyone. I am glad to be here, I am learning and slowly ironing out the small stuff in my ride. I know this is an "off road association", but I am happily keeping ye old pathy on road. Now that I'm a member I spose I don't have to steal anymore, And the 500,000 miles guy! wholly crap. That's given yotas a run for the money, fo-sho! (how the heck? origional motor and drivetrain? ) If mine makes 300,000 miles I will mount it on a pedestal....on my lawn...with a gnome in the cockpit, and one ridin' shotgun for good measure. If it adds a half a horse power, I'd give a gnome or two a fair shot. oh, and I'm in Grass Valley, 95945. Kinda between Reno and Sacramento. Them thar foothills. And Mr.Precise1 sir, with all do respect, you really should go fishing more.
  6. Hello, I am a new guy from Northern California, I am a machinist, and fisherman...that should sum it up. I recently acquired a 87 pathy lawn ornament in a happenstance after my exlpoder exploded.(surprise), It needed some love, and I have more love than money, so what the hell! I can wrench. Anywhos, it has over 200,000 miles, and needs a bit of everything. And ran like CRAP. but the thing really is...This is my first Nissan, sorry but yep.I got 99% of the usable info I needed from this forum. I lurked, read, stole, printed, and found more info about my specific problems here, than anywhere else. MAFS, TPS, cylinder head coolant temp sensor, idle issues, self diagnostic codes and how to consider them etc. It's all stock, and running fairly well now. And if it gets me through the winter I am happy, if it makes a year I am blessed. So mostly to give credit where it is due...thanks everyone for doing the legwork already...shameless plug follows...And thanks to John at Parts for Imports, for being a wealth of general wrench and gear wisdom, and putting up with me. But seriously, very good info here thanks, and again. Pictures suck, there from a phone and I am still learning this stuff so, yeah you can tell I'm sure.
