Those US wheels should fit. Ive been told as long as the backspacing is about 4", but 3.75 should be good. mine have 4" and I've got lots of clearance from the strut. One thing you should be careful of is the opening for the center bore. pathfinders need 100mm. Other than that good luck finding some wheels

hey everyone, went to go change my oil the other day and noticed that nissan gave me a different oil filter then what was put on last time they changed the oil. The filter they put on has a part # 15208-65FOO. But the one the parts guy gave me at the same nissan dealership is 15208-65FOA. Anyone know if theres any difference? The filter fit on the thread fine. And the label on the box had the vq35de motor on it but not for the pathfinders??? thanks for any advice.

I also did what FUELER did, molded the plastic a bit with the heat gun. I also removed the screws that hold the plastic from the bottom and screwed the plastic closer towards the front of the vehicle. Then I had to trim off some of the fascia, just used side cutters.

Damn right. Its all about the pathys.

Same, when mine feel off I thought it sounded a bit throatier. You do need the post muffler for inspections though, cause they won't have any where to stick the emissions probe in the tailpipe, and they ain't gonna crawl under the truck to put it in the main mufflers pipe. But I guess it also depends on where you live. some places are more strict on emissions then others.

It might, thats why I did't take any chances. But If you cut the pipe so it's angled like navygz19 did you should be ok

Then no you don't have the drive by wire system. Then only reason you have to be careful with those TB is because the sensors in them are sensitive and you could throw off your idle, thats what ended up happening to me. But you should be good.

I was wondering if anyone knew if you could program the PCM to tell it that ur running a certain size tires and if it would help with the shifting issue. I remember when I was working at chrysler, one of the mechanics had me programming the ABS system and the DRB scanner asked what size tires was on the vehicle.

well ended up getting it fixed. Know a guy at speedy auto, ended up putting a sleeve on the two pipes. only $25. thanks for the help though navygz19

OUCH! that sucks. Good thing no one was hurt.

Ya, I was just gonna rip the whole thing off. So, navygz19, you just ended up cutting a section of the pipe off and leaving the rest? thanks

thats funny. I asked my local nissan dealership about it and the guy didn't have a clue what I was talking about

Are you sure you have the drive by wire? Are there two cables going to the TB connecting to a butterfly valve? what does this seal cap look like? could you post a pic

hey everyone, heard a rattle under my 03 pathy, found that the post muffler has seperated from the main muffler where it clamps to it. Anyone know if I can just take it to an exhaust shop to be fixed or do I have to replace the post muffler. Thanks.

about the throttle body, if you have the drive by wire system be careful cleaning it, u may get an ses light

Nice man. The black on black is a good choice. thats what i did with my truck to. got the same tires as well!

Congrats! An R50 is a fine choice

ok cool. Also does nissan even have there own LSD oil or additive. I thought it was weird for nissan to give me stuff from ac delco

I replaced the diff fluid on my 03 pathy about 4 months ago/8000 km. I went to nissan to get all my fluids, they parts guy gave me 75w-85 MTF and a bottle of AC delco LSD additive for my LSD. Just wondering is this ok to use? I know the manual says 80w-90 for both diffs. any input would be appreciated.

The clunk on mine is weird, it almost always happens when I first start it in the morning. while driving get a clunk when exiting driveways while turning, but it sounds and feels like sway bar bushings. I thought it might have been something in the strut assembly as well. And if ur struts were done, they would have either leaked or u would have felt them bounce.

ya you have to be careful not to go to big cause of the strut mount like xplorx4 mentioned. I got 265/70/16 on my stock rims, the tire was so close i wasn't able to get my pinky finger between the tire and strut mount.

hey man, when you took the intakeoff did you replace the gaskets or reuse the old ones? congrats again.

ya man congrats on the new pathy 3.5!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 03 R50 already had the grease nipple on it, i've only done it once since i had my truck, only put 10000km on it though. I think its only important to do it if the underbody has been secluded in water

If you're feeling like theres something banging at your feet and you hear a clunk its probably the sway bar needing new bushings.
