On today’s Pathy adventure, I’m finally getting around to restoring a bumper (in decent condition other than a dent I tried patching) and a trailer hitch I pulled off a junkyard Pathfinder. Two coats of rust neutralizer and some sandpaper later, the first coats of primer are going on. Next up, gloss black. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

XJ snorkels are another popular option, that may help your research. https://www.google.com/search?q=xj+snorkel+site%3Anissanpathfinders.net&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS759US759&oq=xj+snorkel+site%3Anissanpathfinders.net&aqs=chrome..69i57.5845j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

another update @deltaR50 provided me with a website that carries a generic VQ35DE harness that resembles exactly the maxima one. It can be purchased as an already assembled pigtail, which is awesome: https://www.wiringspecialties.com/vq35-throttle-motor-connector-tps-dbw/ Here’s a video for visual on the maxima harness:

Finally, I have a full update to this problem: Short Version: Broken Harness, replaced with harness from 02 Maxima. Longer Version: No one makes thst 6 pin harness for the TPS on an R50. It doesn’t exist. The closest thing I could find was a build your own harness for an Xtrail that was identical to the eventual maxima harness. I tried the x trail harness, but even after I built it it didn’t work, which ended up being a good thing. I found a TPS harness on an 02 maxima at a junkyard. Again, it looks exactly like the x trail one I used. Not only is the maxima harness an actual fix (I already test drove and successfully performed relearn procedures), it has a better locking mechanism- a simple lever that is released with decent effort, but otherwise stays perfectly locked into place. Glad to finally have her back and running again.

Replaced the fuel sending unit with a used one. No fuel leak now but my gas gauge still doesn't seem to work right, although now it isn't bouncing all over the place.
