  1. Hit the one "nice" yard in town today and spent $70 on a few odds and ends:

     

    2 seats out of a Maxima $34 (allready installed in my 88 Pathy)

    A pair of V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee springs $20

    An interior top windsheild moulding $3

    A map light from a 95 Pathy $5

     

    Not charged for ;):

     

    Gas cap holder (orange thingy)

    Rear door ashtray

    Front turn signal lens

    2 stock rocker foglight switches

    5 relays

    Weather tight fuse holder

    handfull of fuses

     

    The Maxima seats weren't a direct swap, had to drill the floor and use new bolts but they fit nice and are much cushier than the flat Pathy buckets, not to mention they wrap around the sides a little bit and the drivers seat has extra adjustments on the seat bottom. :D

     

    I was pissed though, a couple guys took the tension rods before I could get them off of the 95, they were pulling them when I got there :(. Also, the rear brakes were a different set up than mine, so I couldn't get the strut I needed.

  2. Super easy, just pull out the 4 bolts out of the upper and lower hinge bases. You will want to do something to fill the holes left in the body though. Removing it doesn't affect the rear much at all actually. My 93 didn't have one, but my 88 does. I took it off to clean it up, replace te pins and bushings in the hinges and repaint it. Haven't noticed any change without it aside from it not rattling (hence the pins and bushings). :aok:

  3. welp.. we'll be replacing the oil pump.

     

    is it neccesary to bring in a cherry picker and lift the engine out to get to it?

    Either that or take appart the front drivetrain and go from the bottom.

  4. Do you mean the key won't move in the ignition? The key or ignition lock tumblers are probably worn down. Try getting a new key made. If that doesn't help replace the ignition cylinder. Neither cost too much and are fairly simple to do.

    Oh, if that's what he means then the key and cylinder might both be warn out. Mine acts funny sometimes also, but if I pull the key out and flip it over it usually works fine... :shrug:

  5. All you have to do is pull the mounting base off of the front ends and trim back the end of the tube, it's just thin aluminum, the bases connect to the tubes with a single screw. The hardest part will be making the bottom of the mounts flatter, since there is more curve in the exterra roof in the front.

  6. All the button does is allow the tranny to shift into 4th gear (OD). If the button is switched off the tranny will only use 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. Unlike most American cars that have a seperate shifter position for OD, if you drive with the shifter in OD all the time on those, it will destroy their trannys.
