Ranchos installed! Will take for test drive and post pics of new ride height today.

Finally had a chance to take some crappy pictures this morning on the way to work. It’s been raining so much here in Seattle and I only drive the pathfinder on weekends so it’s been tough trying to get some decent photos. Sorry but these are taken on my iPhone. The cutoff of these projectors are amazing with super sharp lines and nice color. Light output is so good now that I don’t even need to use my oem driving/fog lights anymore.

I'm not sure, but I'd be surprised if it gained enough power to notice. I wouldn't worry about the wear so long as the screws still went in all the way and the assembly moves without binding.

Power valves done. Used blue gel locktite Sorry I didn't take a pick or two....the valve flap, looked as if it had a countersinked hole from the movement. The screw had flatten threads under the screw head also. Hope that doesn't comeback to bite me. Will I see some performance improvement from this fix? Sent from my LG-K425 using Tapatalk

Shouldn’t have any threadlocker on the intake bolts. Definitely do the powervalves though

Thanks for the notice.....inspected the valves and 4 of 6 were loose. Sent from my LG-K425 using Tapatalk

While it's apart, check the power valve screws, if you haven't (if it's an automatic).

Dear All Nissan people I’am introducing this project with my R50 Pathfinder 2002 3.5 MT. Everything started with the idea to have a family rig to go out, camping and have fun. What has been done so far: Front : 4” Lift with Subframe drop and cardanic joint to replace steering extension. Rear: 4” lift. I have used rear WJ coils with 4,5” lift, mounted with adaptors. This setup provide a little “rake” in the back (+- 1”), but I am waiting to the suspension to set down before to cut a little more of the coil to level the truck. Installed Procomp struts and a panhard drop. Brake Lines: New brake lines are required for safety in the front (2) and necessarily in the back (1). Since I was changing lines, I changed brake and clutch fluid too. Differentials Breathers: You need to change both breather hoses with larger ones. Diameter of front and rear are not the same… just if you want to be purist. Tires: I’m running my old tires right now 255/70/R16 (30x10), and I’am debating If to put 285/75/R16 ( 33 x 11,5) or 265/75/R16(32x10.5)… last weekend I go wheeling and I think I made my mind to go with 32”. Wheels: Original wheels mounted with 1,5” spacers Front Lift In first place you need 4 blocks to lift subframe, 2 blocks for the engine, and 2 mcpherson spacers. Front subframe and motor Rear subframe blocks: And two spacers for the McPhersons All the credit for the drawings and the idea can be found in this thread: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=23821&st=0 I bought my setup from krfabs.com (blocks, brake lines,panhard drop, spring adapters) Let’s begin with the installation (Everything was done at home with manual tools) and get to work: First of all hand brake, raise the front, put some jacks stands in the support points and reassure that all is well secured. Remove wheels and front suspension. Jack points for Pathfinder: With jacks.. Removing fron struts, careful with brake lines and abs connector Well, with front suspension out I have changed some parts:
