These are a "step up" from the stock rotors. Retail value for a regular customer is like $30 a rotor vs the stock replacement at $20 a rotor.

when you have connections at napa... yes they are...

Title is in his name I pay for EVERTHING else on it! If you look at it in terms of responsibility, It really should be my vehicle...

To keep it short, sweet and, simple: At my place we have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. (Dad said Absolutely No lift kits or mods to it)http://npora.ipbhost.com//style_emoticons/default/thumbsdown_anim.gif I am a high school student and I am in my automotive program at my High school. We have a brake lathe at my school an I am aloud to do any labor for my family or myself free, considering I do the labor myself. A little over a week and 1/2 ago, I noticed my brakes were squeaking and "out of round" or "miss-aligned" or "non parallel." (no they were not squealing from the pads being worn out, already checked that) I told him that all that needs to be done is have .002" (the width of a human hair on your head) machined off each side of the rotor to make them parallel again, and sand a little of the pads off to remove the glazing on the pads. (Keep in mind this is FREE LABOR to do this and my instructor is an ASE Certified Master Technician). I am thinking cost effective and beneficial. He said that considering its only $10 bucks a rotor at napa brand new and $14 for new pads(per axle), we should just get new parts rather than have the rotors be worn down a little and need it again in 3-4 months. He is thinking about what would be the most beneficial thing to do, which is buy new parts that will last longer in the long run. Get them machined= $0 Buy Brand New parts =$34 Help from a forum poll= Priceless help and opinions I keep telling him its free, he would rather spend money.... Doesn't make sense! What do you think should be the proper thing to do?

That is sick! I like that! You think that is more common, just as, or more rare than the light bar?

Happy Easter to my NPORA family near and far!

Appreciate it man! The one thing I have a problem with is, Will the motor mounts in an 88 line up with a motor from a 96? Or will I have to do some modifying?

I am thinking about it, But I am thinking about doing a motor build from the base block. As in new pistons, arms, crankshaft, the whole 9 yards. The one thing I wanna know... Should I do a VG30 motor or a VG33 motor. And are the blocks different? Basically I wanna know which motor would be worth it, a VG30 or a VG33? What years of pathfinders they are in? And is their anything that I should avoid, try, or should I just not even try it?

And I would LOVE to do a WRX hood.... Except You can't find the hoods... Someone find me a pathfinder hood and a wrx hood and I will mold em together! I have worked with fiberglass, bondo, steel and any other bonding agents...

That's badass... And maybe that would look good if it were a chevy...

As most of you know my pathfinder is not running well, and with my parents taking it out of my hands and putting it on my grandparents farm for a while, I was thinking about in my time left before summer, doing a motor build. Thinking about doing a VG30i (the same motor in my pathfinder now) I can get the whole motor for about $150-$175 from a friend at a local junk yard. I also have a friend who has a trucking company who does engine fabrication and engine repairs who said he would do anything I needed for almost free considering I got him a date and a little "somethin somethin" hehe He told me he would machine the cylinders for $30, check the specs on the heads for $20 a head and any other things I may need. Thinking about it, just wanting some opinions on the idea... Share your thoughts....thanks! And if you think I should do something different let me know...

I will try it out man...thanks! Won't be able to do it tonight cause I got dinner with the girlfriend and her parents so I will try it tomorrow morning and let you know what I find!

tempting.... I like it.... anyone got any other ideas? I was thinking about a 2" cowl induction hood maybe? or some other cool style? any other styles anyone wanna see?

alright awesome...

I say get a a 90 or 91 motor,rebuild it and strap a turbo to it... I got a friend who strapped a turbo to his motor in his little 91 hardbody pick up and he made custom oil lub lines, custom exhaust manifold, boost controller, and a greddy bov.... Ran it at 8psi and it was dyno'ed at about I believe 325-350hp... Stock V-6 motor... Bout 100,000 miles on it... Reason why I say rebuild it is cause in my friends motor, 3 months later it blew a rod... Right through the side of the block... And right into his turbo too...or some part of the turbo... Maybe the oil lines...idk don't totally remember... All I remember is it was brutally quick, then had a nasty ending....

Guess if I want a hood scoop I better get some fabrication tools then.... If anyone finds a hood scoop then let me know...

I did I guess a dry test... Never knew theirwas such a thing as a wet test....

I could have sworn i saw another pathfinder with one...

i never noticed that.... it was a little dark out when i did the test so i never knew if their was oil on it or not... good thought.... anyone else think he is right?

its so sick! http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/...00003_large.jpg hey TerranoNZ make that image fit in the forum... idk how to make an image in a forum.... and that comes on the Turbo Diesel one's only!

Anyone know where to get an aftermarket distributor for my 88 VG30i? or any other aftermarket ignition related electronics

Exactly... bolt on is the only thing i can do for now, primarily because i don't have any of the metal shaping tools to do it with... Plus i really like the hood scoop on the terrano... looks really sick... And no way in the world am i gonna go purchase some plastic crap from advance,auto zone, walmart or where ever you get it at and literally stick it on my hood.... no freaken way! plus i want a 2 function piece style and intake purposes... (yes i will make it filtered, water resistant and all that stuff too... (can anyone find me a good photo of the hood with the scoop?)

Lot of blue and a tiny bit of white cause I had a little coolant spill into the intake when I was hooking it back up... This was before my throttle body...

Got any recommendations?

she lives again! I went out to do a new compression test and decided to try and see if she would start, turned the key and she started! I blew a piston ring though cause she smokes more than a forest fire! Help please! (apparently she doesn't like to run when hot...) Post Originally from "Nytro's_finder lives again!" Topic
