I love my auto, i save the shifting for the trickier car in the family!!! I saw on an Altima sight that you can bore out some sort of bearing in the tranny to make her shift significantly quicker. Does anyone else with an auto think they shift very slow (Nissan's in general)?

flawless.... :bow: ................ impeccable :bow: ...................................bavarian! :bow: the only concern i would really have is water ?seal abillity?, there is nothing worse than a car that leaks water!!! I have bought 2 cars right from Manheim Auto Auction...I am sure that my Pathy has been wrecked, but not totally sure about the wifes Altima (01)...it was described as having "frame damage". It was a company lease car, and i have yet to find any part of the car with a different shine, shape, extra age on it, or any frame pulling stress marks...nothing!! Poor Pathy has a re-shot hood and pass. fender, new grill and chrome bumper.....all i can do is chuckle and wonder how bad she must have looked. The "frame"-work underneath and around the radiator looks great. I bought her for $7000, it needed only a new windshield and rear bushings. JJBIGSHOE do you have a paypal account?

Maritimeman beat me to it....PB BLaster and heat work great together!!! Tha hammer thing never seemed to pan out for me but the blaster and heat work like a charm!

88 is right. put anything on the bottle to get results...longevity is in the hands of the user though so do not get addicted. -alcohol- there are many mags out there (yes, i am another Honda loser) that have stock honda civvies with a fresh intake, header, exhaust that are only gaining like 30hp and 20ft/lb and spent well into the $1000 range getting just that little bit. I have performed this action on my 1988 rex ($300 ICEMAN intake, $400 HASPORT header, $650 RS*R header-back exhaust), the ole' butt dyno says i probably did gain 35hp...but danm i spent some loot! :furious: ...CAMS on the other hand, always produce, and as far as i can tell JWT is no slouch for quality. Thought of the same option after i feard tuning the X's S/C engine, but for the cash invested I could get into the Infinity QX4 for minimal payment change ('01+ of course to get at that 3.5).

agreed, i have watched many of these engines already go by on EBAY, for about $3500 plus shipping...i can't tell simply by looking at pics if they wouild fit at all....but a haynes manual should be of some help!!! ***this is a hint to anyone with that type of money!**** :secret:

As much as I hate to get in this one , since i can't keep my hands off any car i own, I'm with you on that one Big Johnson! I really don't want my standard 3.3 to blow (and it won't it only has 88K on it) if it did, it may very well be my delgith to drop the xterra/fronty engine in... ...'course computer and a couple of extra wires i'm sure!!!

this is an indirect answer...does anyone think that this could be the automatic hub dust cover thingy that there was a post about a month ago... ...this dust cover would actually generate noise while braking...thus you are correct it is not actually the brakes but the dust cover that is sandwhich'd in there!!! 88...you're the pro here!!! Maybe you can remember the post to search for a lnky-loo!!

kmgar99, you can remove them but you'll have holes through your fenders then... if you do elect to take them off let me know...I and many others are interested in them!!!

I have also been shopping for flares...they are near impossible to find and even tougher to get...i never found these before in my hunting. IMHO i think that they look pretty sweet, but it may take some real examination to figure which ones to order!!

I sent that @!*%e to everyone that i know that is one to never be forgotten!!!

I checked out what you posted and they are cool, but i want more of a bulky look like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW drillling...oh well the side marker can cover if i mess up!!! or i'll make louvres

I really dig the side marker on the older terranos and would really like to have a set for my pathy...anyone know where to buy a set???

WoW!!! happy birthday indeed!!! I guess my next milestone is 30....some grey hairs already invading the goatee!!!!! "This is just no good!" enjoy being 21 man it all does go way way way too fast!!! Chris

you can definatly see the "shoe" before you remove any springs, and the shoe last quite a while...they are really cheap so if you think they need replaced just buy'em my first drum brake job was just last summer, and i bought a new spring kit for the set up...really handy they were all color coded so you could not= place them wrong...also if you have a camera phone it will help!!! in addition...check the little "wheel cylinders" my crx had a bad one, goop and grease everywhere and the brake was doing next to nothing...very easy to replace except for the whole bleeding process. nice Villans by the way!!!

Does anyone know the make of this bar?? It doesn't seem to be a westin 'cause they don't offer one for my year. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/719074

xplor4x...took the words out of my mouth!! always need to be prepared for the worst!!!

I would have to agree with mzxtreme...take a pill, last i checked this was by far the best web site for these trucks, and actually if others took this for an example all sorts of off-roading sites would be at a whole new standard!!!

no, no, no, i mean leave the old one (cooler) in the radiator and run regular oil lines to it...then adding a more efficient tranny cooler outside of the radiator...now what d'ya think??

anywhoo...what is seafoam?? i thought it was a cleaner?

maybe someone here has done it once before, but now i ask.... --->first does the tranny fluid get as hot as the oil in your engine??? --->can i add an aftermarket tranny cooler and use the old tranny cooler as an oil cooler? --->would there really be any use/gain to my nonsense? holler back!! anybody!

well, i would have to say as an update that my milage has returned to its normal self....problem with that is since i cleaned the MAF the truck has been much more peppy--like the cold air is working now--and i can't keep my foot out of her!!! so to get my old milage with the fun i've been having.....sweet :bow:

I have sat in the shadows, wether it was a new pathy or old in the shadows, and i try not to have diarrhea of the mouth, but, if this were not social and technical i for one would not have joind. in the world there are many many people that are diverse and different and to a degree all of us want to be different, but i really enjoy talking here to people that i at least percieve that are nearly the same as me...its nice having a place to be at your own leasure with no expectations that you can talk about a truck and even other things that you love and indeed i too am really busy with 2 jobs a wife and a three year old. for sure if the post time thingy were accurate then you would note that all my post times are either in the early morning or late late late in the evening

already put over 50 miles on new tank o' gas and no needle move...i am terribly excited this may be the beggining of something!!! remember i am a happy Nissan FAN even at the last tanks misrable 11.5 mpg (with tire size adjustment)!! If this truck can attain that 16 mpg or even 15 mpg my cup shall over-runnith!!!

ok i cleaned my MAF today and did notice a little more spunk also, in addition i reset my computer and filled up the tank...($2.15 gal today) there was little bits of black junk on the MAF--88 is this what you too got off yours?? i could pass the small, small specks as carbon if i didn't know that they couldn't get there throught the air filter.
