My 95 is an XE but it came with the sport and power packages. That means it got the PW, PL and CC for the power package and it got the LSD rear and external tire carrier as part of the sport package. It came with the chrome wheels and 235's.

They should be 8mmx1.25 Threads with a 12mm head. I do not know overall length.

yes that is true just remember if you go RH drop you will need a custom oil pan. But you could do an all Nissan SAS using a PAtrol axle which happens to be an H233 in some applications.

When a guy who works at the engine building plant for the VQ tells me he would not put one in his PAthifnder that only backs up what I am saying. Now in regards to the fanatics who love the VQ, most of them are tearing those things doen to bare parts and completely rebuilding with all upgraded components. I am not knocking the power or torque they put out. All I am saying is I wind my Pathfinder out to redline all day long and it's got 220K on it. A VQ will need the oil checked weekly when run like that. I have at least 1 or 2 QX4's with the VQ come in with a VTC code and it is due to low oil level. These are folks who are good on their oil change intervals. If you did a longevity test in some sort of engine testing facility I would put my money on the VG.

You could not give me a VQ35. I have been working on Nissan's since 93 and the VQ series will not take hardly any abuse comared to the VG. The tolerances are so tight and the fact that everything is microfinished means if the sludge builds up just the least you are scoring journals. The PCV system is weak and blow by is common even on newer engines.

We do Nitrogen in all of our tires at my dealership. The whole air pressure for the life of the tire is not entirely true. Tire pressure will remain more constant which means overall more consistent tire size which will lead to longer tire life. http://www.nitrofill.com/

I am waiting for Xzibit to log on and let us know we were just pimped. WTF is that coil over setup all about? it looks like the perch is clamped to the protective body of the shock. The back is pretty cool.

No, it means the 4 way thingy "thats how us technicians talk about such things" probably needs to be replaced. I just checked asist and there is not a reprogram for the code.

The only way you could shave the heads and not worry about bending valves would be to put 93 quest pistons in. Ford wanted the engine to spin free and apparently the pistons are notched but after 1995 the new OBD standards took that option away becasue of the possibilty of unburned hydrocarbons building up on the pistons casuing increased emissions.

It looks like they will be making gears for second gen Xterra's and those gears will also work in the Titan. It is easy to make the gears as they are based on a D44 design but are not true D44.

Thats definitely not an Aussie vehicle showing the SC pics. Look at the MC location and which way the wipers sweep. The MAF connector is 3.3. I have not had any contact with Phil but Lee has basically told me via IM he and Phil are no longer in buisness together. he (Lee)is going to continue working on the SC kit and doing cylinder head work. Lee has also taken a job in Detroit working for FMC so he is even farther away from Phil. He used to be only 90 miles, now he is 8 hours.

I made some calls to some engineers at Nissan USA and according to them our cats are very low restriction. Apparently on the VG30E model, the cat is the same as the Z31 300ZX turbo.

Just put some sort of anti-seize on the threads. I have seen some corrosion issues with open faced lug nuts.

Now put a 6 speed manual behind that bad boy with a lever operated transfer case.
