  1. In th 91 I saw them in they were bolted in place, no welds. :confused:

    Nonono, the brackets inside the body are spot-welded to the body and then the rest of the body is spot-welded around them. The tire carrier bolts on, yes. The interior brackets with the captive nuts that the bolts go INTO, however, are spot-welded in.

    On the 91 the upper and lower hinge brackets were bolted in on the inside. I know, because I unbolted them and removed them from the truck myself. Maybe it had been added as a dealer option on this particular truck and they had bolt in brakets for that, I don't know, but they were not welded at all.

  2. I'm not into "online gamming" but play PS2 and computer games all the time. I'm playing GTA San Andreas now. Also kinda hooked on playing Game Boy games through my game Cube. The only thing I want online for my PS2 is Gran Tourismo 4 when it comes out so I can download tracks and cars. I used to do some LAN games with my roommate, but we usually got stuck on WORMS.

  3. Since the washer fluid needs to travel from the front resevoir to the sprayer on your third brake light in the rear, you may have to work the pump for 10-15 seconds to get the fluid to travel back there. If I don't use mine for awhile it takes like 5 seconds for it to build up pressure in the line before it pours out.

     

    Hope this helps B)

    What he said. They both feed from the front.

  4. I was working on a Nissan dealership about 6 months ago. I asked the service manager about it and he said mine just needed cleaned, he was right I pulled all kinds of crap from the top guide. As for year, I know the previous owner of my 88 had taken it in this past year for new latches under warantee, as Abomb1 stated it's open ended warantee on seat belts, and I think Air bags as well.

  5. I bought a set of ACs 2" coils really cheap. When I went to put mine on I removed the pan hard bar and shocks, and the wheels. Let the rear end sag as much as it could, and the stock springs fell out. I set the top of the new spring in first and was able to pop the passenger side one right in. The driver's side wouldn't go in so easily though. Well, being half done at that point and without a spring compresser, I used a ratchet strap. I dropped the strap down through the openning in the middle of the top spring pertch and hooked it towards the bottom of the spring then hooked the other end to my slider. Then cranked on the strap slowly while prying on the bottom of the spring to get it over the bottom pertch. The hook on the srping slipped a few times but finally it held enough to work.

     

    Gotta love redneck inginuity.

  6. This'll be fun/ long :wacko:

     

    The 88:

     

    Cracked bezel on drivers side corner marker

    Manifold leak on passenger side (doesn't go away when the engines warm)

    Sounds like both tension rods are going bad

    Top windshield molding gone (someone substatuted caulking :confused: )

    Rockers on both sides have a nice rust hole unedr the doors

    Cigarette lighter no worky (can't use my cell charger :( )

    Lights on all the dash switches non exsistant

    Cracks in the dashboard, missing passenger vent outlet

    Vent selector stuck on defrost

    Seat padding in poor shape, seats covered in coffee stains

    Parking brake non functional (broken cable & missing pieces in side drum)

    Lots of rot in the rear underside area (slowly fixing that)

    Rear shocks and springs pretty much toast

    Exterior locks on doors don't work so well (drivers side anything will turn it)

    Tire carrier bushings shot, sags when opened, rattles when closed

    Rear licence plate plastic bezel missing

    Probaly a few more things I forgot

     

    The 93:

     

    Sagging front bumper (POS relocation brackets)

    Cracked drivers side corner marker, and turn signal lenses(watch out for that tree)

    2 broken air box closure clips

    Intake tube ripped at TB (it's duct taped for now :D )

    Bad starter solenoid (got the new part yesterday)

    Minor manifold leak on drivers side (goes "away" when engine's warm)

    Custom aluminum front skid bent, but intact

    1 bent rim from offroading

    Vent shades on both sides comming loose

    Rear hatch shocks only work when it's warm

    Rear bumper/tire carrier (custom) needs finished (my own fault)

    Exhaust pipe rattles on my tow hitch

    Drivers side tail light and rock guard bent and broken (not visible though)

    Minor frame rust in the rear

    Broken bolts on gas tank skid(held up with counter top draw bolt)

    Like with the 88, I'm sure there are other things I can't think of at the moment.

     

     

    :beer:

  7. i think it's kinda ugly that he chopped off the rear. don't get me wrong, the truck is bad a$$, i think he should of tubed out the rear, made the tubbing in place of the rear top.

     

    That's how I want to chop my 88, but I want to make the top able to be taken on and off. As for the tube/cage work I don't think he's done yet.

  8. I have a 99 Maxima and a 93 pathy, I know they are differnet, but I will look into my short ram intake on my max bolting to the pathy. If the vacum lines are similar, it could work. My intake is a frankencar unit w/K&N, and an aluminum mid-pipe.

    Cool, let us know. Like I said I almost bought a system for a Maxima off E-bay because it looked like it would work, but didn't want to wind up with a useless intake lying around.

  9. I saw video of one snapping on a friends Frontier. In the video it sounds like a window shattering. He had the SAW T bars and was climbing a hill many other Nissans hd gone up before him of verying mod levels. He hit a little bump and SNAP, it broke under the compression. He had stock wheels and tires on it at the time I think (can't remember).

  10. One thing I saw and thought about trying was an intake for a Maxima of the same year. It looked like the tube for between the MAF and TB had all the right outputs for vacuum lines and such that our's have. Anyone tried that route?
