Vsicks Pathy

No one is talking about a pat on the back or who's right or wrong, I am looking to see the 'fix' of a problem. IMO, taking from the pool of knowledge but not putting anything back in it will only cause it to run dry. I would like to deepen it.

Freak city right here guys. Take a f*cking pill!

What really annoys me is when people ask for help to solve a problem, we give it and they can't be bothered getting back to us with what the problem actually was. Boo Hoo, it makes this noise or that goes bang when I do that. Please help me blah blah blah, cry cry. We give our sometimes limited knowledge on what the problem might be based on what is conveyed. More often than not there are many different answers. FFS if you ask for help and the help did help say so so we can add to our pool of knowledge for future reference. Even if the help didn't help, post up what the problem was. Or is that too much to ask?!

Is your fan spinning the correct way?

:worthless:

The very first thing I would have looked at is not mentioned in your hit list. It sounds like the car is starved of something it needs to run properly. Have you looked at your air filter yet?

Twist the hose. You have to try to rotate it so it will break loose. When it does, then you can pull it off.

Cheers rp88.

What happened to the Jap after market site that was in the product review section?

Are your tyres are sticking out past the guard/fender, and causing them to foul on your body work? Perhaps 12.5 is too wide Slick? I have 33x10.5x15 and no problems.

Commodore V6 like mine.

They are shutting down track all over the place here too. The claim is that track damage by the "larger" 4wd tyres is eroding the bush. Off road, mainly 2 stroke, bikes are also being blamed for track closures because of noise. I will agree that I have seen some pretty bad track damage. I have been able to drive tracks one week only to go there the week after and not even travel a couple of metres in without getting stuck, that's how badly chewed up and rutted they became. Some people just have no idea what 4wding is about. When you get stuck, get out of the car and find away to recover it. Don't just sit there revving the sh!t out of it and chewing the track to bits.. I have even heard that some idiots use chains on their tyres. You want to degrade a track? Chains will do it quicker than anything else. It is people like this that ruin it for everyone.

It is just a globe in the button but I thought it was worth a mention as it might be indicative of a faulty button. Your compressor will have 'one' wire only running to it. It has a connection at the compressor. Check it at that location. The pressure switch is near the radiator, engine bay side, on a silvery pipe. You should be able to follow the pipe work from the firewall to locate it and it will have two wires running to it... I don't know if the US models are the same as the AU models so someone local should be able to help you better if I am wrong.

A stone/rock a bad repair or even bitumen (hot) stuck in the tyre tread can make such noises. If you can't see anything, as is sometimes the case with a bulging tyre, rotate it and see if the noise moves too. I'd check that before you start pulling it apart. Just a thought.

You are about to experience true Pathfinder love. A love that can only be derived by owning a two door. No longer will you have to look in envy every time you see one pass by, wanting one desperately, as is the want of those that don't have a two door. Yes, the original and by far the best looking of all Pathfinders is yours now. Sleep well, sleep well.

If nothing at all happens, check that the wire (green one here) is connected to the compressor or that the connection is not dirty, thus making a bad contact. Also check the wires at the pressure switch. If all is OK, check to see if it is live when you switch it. If it livens up, then the problem isn't electrical. It may mean a new compressor and a re gas. Does the switch light up at least when you depress the button? P.S. You can bypass the pressure switch to check if it is faulty.

You have got yourself a real off road monster there. Looks like the old girl is toeing in too much. Correct that and it should turn properly. How does it feel into corners with the negative caster angles? Are you able to adjust them?

Good luck with it.

I don't think you have a "starter" relay. Then again, I don't know anything about the Nissan V6. But the clicking is your solenoid. It could be as you said, a bad wire or connection but I'd be leaning toward your ignition switch being the problem.

Now that's funny. lol

So, with the freedom of choice that most here could only dream about, what do you plan to do? It just occurred to me that I too will have the same freedom of engine choice on my Pathy when it is done.

I can offer you nothing to get a Nissan 4cyl engine pumping without spending a swag of hard earned. Keep in mind that you can put in any engine combo into your 720. Your divorced transfer case gives you plenty of options. If you don't want a V8, try a Buick V6 and gearbox. They are cheep and easy to come by. Steer clear of the Nissan V6 though. It is just as gutless as the 4cyl. IMO of course.

Put a V8 in it.

Clean you coil, it may have carbon build up. It may also have a crack in it. See if it still happens... If so, move on to the next thing it could be.. Fuel pump for example.

Sounds like a plan Steevo. A good plan What's the patrol like with the front locker? If you can't sell your Pathy a decide to wreck it, I'd like first bid on the disc brake arse end. Better keep this on topic though... Dan might lock the thread. lol P.S. I thought I had a late model dash... The (wrecking) Pathy was advertised as a '96 so I flew down to take a look. Alas, it was a '94 and the same as mine.... YUK!
