maybe thats what happened to mine....

Didnt realize that you said that... I posted that last one by me from my ipod touch and could hardly read what you said.... I guess your was would work too... I was just suggesting a good way to up to a larger pipe... never thought about cutting slices in the pipe...

Really there is a way to make it work without welding but you will have leak problems possibly. You can go to 2" with almost no problems, you just need to get an adapter from stock 1.875" to 2 or 2.5"... Then you will be fine. And don't go any higher than 2.5" if you do make it bigger, cause you will have very little back pressure....

just trying to do what I can with what I have...

Simple, yet effective muffler system: 1. Starting at the end of your manifolds, take crime there back out... But save it for parts... 2. Go to advance auto parts, get a flange kit, then an adapter to go up to 2" or 2.5"(max) 3. Get a thrush turbo muffler (it's like $20 and reversable- 2 sounds in one) 4. Get various lengths of straight pipe( depending on where you want it to exit at) 5. Get a universal sport cat(legal in CA I believe) 6. Put the cat about 3-6" closer to the manifold 7. Put the muffler 3-16" back from the cat (affects loudness and tone) 8. Get a curve piece and make it come out the side of the car... 9. If you live in NC/SC- hidden exhaust is illegal on non lifted vehicles, if you have a lift 3" or more then put a down pipe after the muffler cause you can see the tip making it legal That is what I will be doing... Cheap and effective... Hope it helps...

So I figures it would be useful to have one big post on all performance aspects on the wd21's So besides dropping a chevy motor into it What else can you do from spark plugs to stroking an engine are possible ways to get more power our of your ride?

I need to use the search more LOL....

Don't have a scanner! If I get my hands on one, where is the scanner port?

I got holes in my floor board too... I would recommend finding a pathfinder like yours (same year, 2door/4door) and cut the floor out of where you need it and then weld it in... As long as their is no rust on that "new" piece then you should be good to go... Then spray with some paint for protection If you do this make sure you cut atleast 1" larger around the rust to prevent having to do the same process again....

So the story goes that about 3-4 weeks ago my pathy quit on me. I moved it around in my backyard closer to the house (running) then about 2-3hours later I went to go move it back cause I was done with my work on it for the day... She would not start. Checked plugs, wires, connections, injectors... Nothing wouldn't start. So she sat in the same spot (long enough to kill the grass under it...2 weeks) while I worked on her her and there when I had time cause of school and work. Rebuilt the throttle body, dropped and drained gas tank, new fuel pump, flushed gas system, new plugs and wires tomorrow (olds plugs and wires had 2,750 miles on them so they should of worked).... And nothing... I even shot a little starting fluid into the TB before I did the throttle body work (would crank then) and after the rebuild... Not even a kick.... Could it be timing belts? Coil pack is good cause I grounded the plugs and saw a nice spark... Everything else is fine.... I just don't want to end up like unccpathfinder with bent valves.... Please help... I don't wanna end up having to junk the car cause I can't affor a motor swap or a new pathfinder.... Any and all help is welcome... And if it involves saving money then tell me... Already got connections at napa, advance, and autozone...

Sounds like a deal to me... and I will shoot you some cash for letting it pass if you let me know first in a PM...

Very nice... And I always loved the 2 tone look....

Sounds good... Appreciate the help everyone!

I will pay $125 for it!

Is there a chance I could just leave the grid pieces in there and just unplug it.... Cause If I sell it then I don't want the next owner to have a problem and come back to me about it...

I am gonna rebuild my throttle body tonight and my mixture heater is bad... (I think) I know the black should come off but what about the breakage inside... Will this affect whether i should get a new one before I put the throttle body back on or not?

thanks man...

I was thinking the other day, I wonder how many people from the NPORA forum live near by. So if you live in NC, SC, GA,TN, AL, Or Fl let me know, maybe we can share info, parts, etc. without shipping being murder.... For me, I'm in southern Charlotte, NC.

The thing is that I am also fairly new to the welding world. Only had my hands on practicing welding about 6-7 times... I got a friend who has his welding certification who is gonna teach me and guide me while i do my body floor panels. And no I am not gonna jump right to welding my floor pan, got some scraps to practice on first.... The other thing is I don't wanna end up spending $1k on a welder that I wont be great on to start with... remember you gotta start simple first...

I heard you can put an egg in your radiator and it will seal it.... dont know if thats true or not... I say get a new radiator or whatever leaks...

we got one of those from harbor freight for $87 cause of this huge sale they had the other day.... returned it cause like you said mig is better....

Well I need something that will work... i dont wanna have to pull my stove out to have to access the 220v outlet and get yelled at by mom... scary... very scary thing....

You got a picture of your ride... I would like to see that rack on yours...

Ok so its time that I get thinking about getting my rocker panel fixed and my floor pan. Gonna need a welder so my dad and I are splitting the costs of one. I am wondering what would be a good welder to start with that works off regular house voltage,110V, can weld frames, sheet metal, and other things(1/16"-1/4"). I know from a friend that a MIG is one of the easiest to learn on and they are good for sheet metal and body work. He recommended that I definably go with a Lincoln welder that does at least 200 amps. I just need to know which welder for a fair price would be a good buy... Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated... (and if they sell it at a store that I could go get it at that would be great as well!)

It allows for a better airflow - you know how on a dirt road that hasnt been smoothed up... cant go so fast on it, where as on a paved road you can fly- same principle, smoother way for air to move directly to the engine... and its also basically a cleaning too... restoring it to brand new is the goal, as well as removing all the gas build up, dirt and grime build up thats gotten past the air filter....
