  1. How well is the paint sticking? I was thinking of doing mine in a graphite color, but painting chrome can be a PITA sometimes.
  2. I just made a set for my 88 Pathfinder out of 1/2" cutting boards. I used 2, 16"x22" boards I bought at a restaraut equipment store for $13 each, then just used self drilling screws to mount them. Didn't make any cuts on them, just mounted the front one widthwise, and the rear one length wise. My only concern is the exhaust pipe sitting so close, but at the same time it's one of my biggest worries under there after nearly ripping the crossover pipe out of my 93 on a rock. They'll get a good test this next weekend at Coal Creek though .
  3. I'm split, with my wide tires I like the look either way. I put my stockers back on my 93 and they look funny with the flares sticking out so far.
  4. Both of those are proprietary spray ons. I would go with the Line X since they will tint it to color match.
  5. With the moderate temp there, they don't ever have to go dormant like they do here, so they can build and breed year round.
  6. I saw a Sentra, old squre body, for sale on E-bay once that had a full wooden (home made (duh)) ground effects kit.
  7. I want one too, too bad you can't get them anymore. I've never even got to see one upclose :sniff:
  8. It is, it's a "cure all" cleaner. You can use it in the gas or oil for cleaning those systems. For the gas you can either run it through a tank of gas, or dribble it into the throttle body (using the second method will clean heavier build up in the engine since it's more concentrated that way). For the oil add it through the filler then run the engine for a little, then drain the oil and refill it with fresh.
  9. I had thought about making my 88 into something like an El Camino, so I did a photo chop to see what it might look like.
  10. Not to mention they are 2.5" backspace.
  11. Exhaust jack. It's an air bag you hook up to your exhaust and inflate
  12. :o I bought a new one at the dealer for my 93 about 2 years ago it was $35 and I though that was bad. I doubt they are the same if they quoted that much.
  13. I've always just slept in the back of mine when camping, I used the seat bottoms for extra support for my single pillow (since I'm used to 2 at home). I'm 6'3" so I just left the lift gate unlatched so I could stretch out if I felt the need . I usually carry enough gear that it can be pushed to one side and give me room on the other. In my 88 Pathfinder I rebuilt the interior with camping in the back in mind. I removed the rear seats completely (rusted out anyway) and built a plywood deck over the area they used to take up. The deck lid is level with the rear cargo area and there is about 4" gap between the rear of the front seats and the end of the plywood. Under the deck is a nice stash spot too. I carry 3 old moving blankets that I use for padding when I'm ccamping in the truck, just lay them out an roll out the sleeping bag over the top of them. I have an in progress pic, but it's too big to post, so here's a link to it: Pic
  14. I've seen a couple with heavily modified front UCAs and LCAs with a coilover. The problem with doing it with the stock parts is the opening in the middle of the UCA is pretty small.
  15. Could have been worse, the water pump could have seized causing your fan to shear off and imbed into the radiator. (Had that happen on my old S-15)
  16. Could be a leak in the evaporator, mine sprung a leak one day and I got a blast of refrigerant out of the vents.
  17. Yep, pull thetop of the B pillar trim out a little, then remove the dome light, pull off the center section then pull off the side section. Everything but the light is held in with clips.
  18. My drivers side came out easier
  19. My 88 has been getting around 17 and my 93 usually gets around 19.
  20. Seafoam is pretty good cleaner. STP will actually etch parts if used in too high of concentration or too frequently.
  21. If he did what he was talking about he just swapped in part of another frame rather than patch work. But, some pics of where they cut it and spliced in the new would be nice to see.
  22. They should all be 20 gallons stock. The idiot light on the dash is set to go on at 18 gallons. (I went so low once it took 19.67 gallons to fill up :X )
  23. On board, or in the garage? I have neither :sniff: , yet
  24. Well besides the way he showed, you can also get a MAF cone adapter from an Altima and drill out the holes larger and go that route. Both methods will cost about half as much as the AC kit .
