Vsicks Pathy

Water causes it and waterproofing all of your connectors and plugs will help preventit.

The only reason I suggested that the chassis might be different is because I have seen (on here) that the rear most lift blocks are different. This to me suggests that something is at least different.

Let me be the first to say.. Some people can see you coming. You have "bend me over" written all over you. How do I know this... I read you posts.

You have to agree with that.

How did you get holes in your tank?

Some of the other guys will know if the chassis are the same between the years you mentioned. If they are the same, given the right equiptment to lift the body off, the body swap will be fairly straight forward. Take the body off of the doner first. That way if you miss something it will not matter. It will be good practice. Just make sure all your wiring loom is unplugged. The easy forget places are underneath. Fuel tank and gear box for example.

Would you mind if I used it?

Very good. I like it! I can't use photoshop to save my life.

Perhaps I should read your post befor I ask questions.

I can't understand why Nissan would make round radius arms. I have never seen one here in OZ. Are they hollow?

Diesel is waxy and thickens up when it is cold, making it harder to get through the rails until everything heats up. Just a thought.... Do the TD's have a glow plug/preheating arrangement? If not, It sounds like it needs one. The symptoms you describe are exactly what happens when trying to strart a diesel cold.

That being said, the BL, as does a SL lets you up size your tyres. Larger tyres give you more ground clearence, most importantly, lager tyres give more clrearence to biggest anchor of all on a Pathfinder.... the rear diff. A BL does raise the COG but nowhere near as much as a suspension lift. If I was to only have one lift, it would be a BL. The steering components detest a suspenion lift.

Thats it! sly I don't know why I didn't think of that one myself? pssd

Nah, you gotta take the good with the even better.

The new Pathy is 4WIS too isn't it?

So true. Well said.

Thanks for that 88.

I think my sig is too big.

Loose the suspension lift and just keep the body lifted. That way you will give your steering components longer life expectancy. put the suspension lift back in if and when you up size tyres. It will look a bit silly with all that lift and small tyres too.

I second that.

Come one guys, where is the love? Here man.

:cool2:

Are you talking about that white Pathy with the thing on the bonnet? If so, didn't you notice that the live axle has not got a drive shaft?

I am running an MQ patrol front end in mine. They are the same width as the Pathy rear and have the same gear sets. I am using GQ radius arms and spring/shock towers and bases. My diff has been rotated so that the pumkin now sits on the passenger side. PM me if you want more info or pics.

Lets face it. Two doors rock.
