And K9sar I thought about buying the 4wd pump and moding it to fit...Cutting off the wings...but the height of the pump is way wrong too. It's too short compared to the old one I pulled off. Infact its just a Quarter Inch taller then the nissan 300zx water pump.

Arrrhhhh, still no luck finding the right water pump! Talked to the local nissan dealership and they cannot pin point what motor or model of car this h2o pump came off of. This is crazy. How many possible engines can you put in a 1988 pathfinder body? The long arm water pump is supposed to be the one but it is not the one I pulled off. To be honest the closest pump I can find to the one I pulled off is from a 91 300zx crazy huh. But the snout is still about a quarter inch too short and I cannot mod every other pulley. I did check the other suggestions you all gave and still no go. Any other Ideas would be great, PS how hard is it to rebuild a water pump?

Thanks so much I will have the dealership looking tomorrow at this for sure.....

That would be awesome, any help you can give would be a life saver. As it is I had to take Monday off to head down to the nissan dealership and try to figure out what engine this waterpump came off of, so I can hurry up and put it in with the new timing belt and thermostat.

Thanks anyway for looking uncc, still cant find the right pump got close with a 1988 D21 pickup but the snout was to short, so I still screwed, don't know what model or what year to start even looking at for the right water pump.

It was the rugged rock forum I saw the King for sale on. Glad your spoiling it not selling it. BTW still can't find the right water pump. I did look at some 2 wheel drive waterpumps but no luck. I did look at a 1988 D21 nissan pickup h2o pump and it was almost exact except the snout was too short. help!!!

I appriciate the offer Uncc but right now I am trying to get this pathy running by tomorrow I will let you know how it goes though, I have been checking the 2wheel drive waterpumps for an 1988 and so far all the parts places are coming up with different bolt patterns and amounts of bolt holes. Arrrrrhhhhh.

I am doing some checking now on the 2wd pump... thanks guys for all the comments! By the way I was on one of the other forums and think I saw King CaCa for sale, is the King gonzo or am I trippin?

My pathy is a four wheel drive and the bottom picture of the new water pump is what they sold me for my model car and engine but was obviously wrong. I did not look at any of the 2 wheel drive waterpumps. I did'nt even know there was a difference!

Help Help Help. To all you pathfinder people. The water pump I pulled of my 1988 SE is not the same as the ones that the auto parts stores are trying to sell me. I do not know if someone has put a different nissan motor from another year in this 1988 but as you can see in the pictures below the old waterpump does not look anything like the replacements. Either for a 4cylinder or the 6cylinder which is what I believe I have? Any Idea's or help would be a lifesaver at this point..Wife needs the pathy for work on Monday!
