RedPath88

There is one back there. 88 offered up a fix for it HERE But I am not sure if that is the root or at least, the whole problem.

My '88 SE does not have Limited Slip, so as others have said... it was an option. Hey.. Good job B. You got it straight this time

Hopefully the cheap one is the needed unit. Of the sending units listed in the links the expensive ones say "w/Gauge" Cohen, you mentioned that your "gauge" reads 0. Since it would appear that you do have one(a gauge), you may very well need the expensive unit If that is the case then perhaps it is time for an aftermarket gauge set? :idea: Those can be found for about the same cost as the replacement unit... some even lower in price and they do more -thnkboutit-

If you search partsamerica.com for "Oil Sending Unit" (make sure you select the vehicle first) you will find that there are two different styles listed and the prices are vastly different ($8-$12 and $42-$60). The link I sent above has a picture in it... I kind of figured that if it did not match then Cohen would probably say something about it

RockAuto.com is always a good place to look, but it would appear that you can also get it locally for nearly the same price. Niehoff Ignition Oil Pressure Switch $7.99 (online price) at PartsAmerica.com. Buy it online and pick it up in one of your five local Advance Auto Parts stores. Around here the stores are Schucks Auto Supply and they will match an online price if you bring in a printout of the product page. If Advance does the same you can just buy it in the store. But paying "online" saves you the hassle of waiting "in line" at the checkout, when the store is busy... just walk up to the parts counter, pick it up and walk out

Nissans lines that separate the trim levels are really fuzzy... If the adjustable suspension available in '88, then I have an SE that does not have it.

The guy seems to have flaked out big time... Last message I sent him was on October first and it has still not been read yet. Last time I heard anything from him was on September 11th. He said he already had it crated and would check on shipping. uucc, you might give it a shot but I would recommend not holding your breath

This is good news on the engines.. Unfortunately it came 8 day's too late for me. I put half down on a wrecking yard engine... grrr paying the same price for an engine with more miles than those in Lynnwood (more $$$ if I want to keep my core) Oh well, with a little luck all will work out fine ***Also on the list for an engine pull***

Looking forward to a report on this project

SE here, but not because I own one. I feel that the "extra's" are nice to have and cause very little trouble overall

Going to make that thing even less Nissan are you?!! Anyway, sounds like a great project made even better by the fact that it will fit "one way or another" Those are always the best! The feeling of accomplishment is even higher when your victorious! Hopefully, the ratios work out and you can go ahead with this project.

I know it has been mentioned already... But to back it up, I have swapped the bulbs in cheap lights a few times in the past. to gain a brighter light. I have gone from 33.5 (iirc) to 55w and from 55w up to 100w. It works fine. Only thing I would suggest is that you take a good look and the housing and reflector before leaving them that way. It it's cheap plastic it might not be able to handle the brighter and thus hotter light. If they are at all suspect, test them first. Just let the brighter light burn in them under your supervision for a while before making them permanent.

I agree and the cash thing was the same reason I learned how to do it. Lug nuts? Les Schwab will never torque my vehicles nuts again :X ... they Cross- threaded one of the studs on my Pathy during a brake check, because I was to lazy to inspect them myself I discovered it a week later when I pulled the tires off to replace the brakes in the back. Well a trip back to LS and about 30min of arguing got them to replace the wheel stud. This only after I started raising my voice while talking about how they started the lug nut using the air ratchet.. in a packed customer waiting room

I have no fear of spiders, but that was a visual I did not need... thanks MZ

LB, glad to hear you came out of it alright. And people wonder why insurance cost so much... I'm with B on this one... before doing anything check into the buy back/repair costs, then go from there. Just something to think about -thnkboutit-

That's Great!!.. umm to read I mean... not for you. I have been in similar situations (so many times it hurt to even think about it) so I feel your pain... that really sucks! Looking forward to your followup detailing how you conquered the hill

LOL Well, at least we are making progress in these polls!

Yes SW thank you for correcting him... I read B's first post and found myself scratching my head over that one... wondering "Did that really come from B?"

As far as I know all Pathy's have the lower brackets but only the ones that came stock, equipped with a tire carrier have the upper brackets. Not all SE's came with carriers, I have an '88 SE and it does not have a rear carrier. Mine has a tire mount inside on the drivers side of the cargo area.

Just one here.

Yeah, been there before. And honestly, need to be there again!

LMAO Fun Stuff! At least you got it in and running

All that really matters in the end of any project is that it turns out and works the way you hoped and overall, your satisfied with the end product.

Nice job... But now that it's all done, would you do it again?... meaning was it worth the time spent..

Ok so I am a bit late here... But still, Nice rig man
