broken piece

you didn't forget anything, you probably just didn't noticed that the screw-mounts had cracked (poor design, really). In the pics you can see the part (removed from the cover) and you can see that the T shaped piece is missing one side. the other mount is missing both pieces of the T. The other pic shows the cover with the mount removed from its hole. If you could find two of these that'll be great, but if not, I've seen 'em on eBay or i can probably scrounge 'em.

sorry you think they look 'gay' Sammy I'm about 99% sure that the truck came with those (and the brush gaurd I had) from the Nissan dealership. I'm the thrid owner, but the guy who sold it to me said the truck had come with them...... They are obviously not Nissan parts, but I've seen others down here with the exact same gaurds.......Hopefully they work out for ya, so it ends up a fair trade...... Off topic.....does anyone have any of the sunroof cover mounts for the sunroof cover i just got in trade for some brush gaurds.......- the ones that screw into the glass mounts

Nissan 4X4's are sweet....I've experienced my 95 Pathy and my buddies 97 P/U and his 2006 Titan with an off-road package and all three have rocked it... Another friend has an 84 Land Cruiser, which is also unstopable... FJ is Toyota's code for the Land Cruiser....like our WD21...all cruisers are fj's... The FJ40 was the first one (the jeepish lookin one) and they go up from there...My buddies 84 is an FJ60 (looks like a huge pathy kinda), i think they are FJ120 now and they have the little new one that's just called and FJ - (not a Land Cruiser though?)

Sorry about the crash man, at least you're OK..... I've also got an '02 3.2TL. They're really nice, good to drive, reliable, but a little more $$$ on the upkeep. I love mine-highlly recommended.

edmunds.com says that they had a payload of 1150lbs. when new. These always seem like conservative #'s though. We had about 1350 in my buddy's '97 4cyl Nissan P/U the other day, she did just fine.... Performance Base Number of Cylinders: 6 Base Engine Size: 3 liters Base Engine Type: V6 Horsepower: 153 hp Max Horsepower: 4800 rpm Torque: 180 ft-lbs. Max Torque: 4000 rpm Maximum Payload: 1150 lbs. Maximum Towing Capacity: 3500 lbs. Drive Type: 4WD

Hey all, I have been trying to find one of the older links on the tranny cooler upgrade. I seem to remember there being one with a how to section, pics, and recommended coolers to buy. Does anyone know where this is? Seems like it should be in the pinned Tech section..... I'm gunna go get drunk and celebrate my 1/4 Irishness.....

The gas gauge works, its just not very accurate. Would the voltage regulator make it more accurate or would it just fix a broken gauge? Thanks 88.

I ran out of F'N gas this morning I normally just use my trip odometer as a gauge because the light seems kinda unreliable. The problem with the odometer is trying to gauge it when you have a heavy foot. Anyway, I normally need gas at about 325-345 miles. This morning I died at 319 (guess i was lead footin it this week ) with NO gas light at all, WTF. Who else has this prblem? Is there a quick fix on the gas light? Guess its not really a big deal, I'll just get gas at 300..... PS. to the makers of those crappy little gas station bought red gas cans - F-U - learn how to make a product that works. everytime i've ever used on of those POS things it spills gas everywhere.... :oops:

hey fithly, isn't that what i just said... besides, the measurement don't have enough varation to cause it to make noise when it's not under load. It just needs lube most likely. Alabama, do you live in the south.....if so, I take it you use the rack for cycling (kayaking maybe). What do you ride.... -bounce-

if there is no load on the rack then it shouldn't be making much noise. I would try to tighten the main bolts (in the towers) and whatever accessories you have - like headpeace says....... then I would do a little lube test run....spay some lube (tri-flow if you have it, if not WD-40) on any area where two parts come together, even ones that don't move. If this does work, then you can be anal and take the rack apart, clean it, lube it, put it back together..... If not its obviously something else.....FYI my 95 with only 85,000 miles has noises comin from all over... Oh by the way alabama...GOOOOOOO DAWGS

uh, yea, I did that. The guy at Al and Ed's looked at the old speaker and told me that a few years ago, speakers with that shape became obsolete (good ones anyway, I'm sure you can get crap ones that fit). Maybe thats why your 2000's fit.?. I took my speakers out, showed them to the guy, then took new speakers and tried to fit them in the hole.

Yep, Grumpy is right. The right tools = easy job. Lack of tools = heavy cursing or paying someone to do it..... I prefer to do it myself, but just moved to cali and all my tools are in atlanta.... :X :eek:

I just replaced all four of my speakers. There are a couple of things that can be difficult. On the front doors, the speakers go in easy, but the panels can be tough. They use a special prying tool at the stereo shops. Just be careful, ot the clips will break. Also, I have a 95 SE and my front speakers are 5X7. I know this for sure because I bought 4X6 and had to return them. The back speakers were worse. Mine are also in the ceiling. Pry the gaurd off, its easier than it seems. The problem is that most new speakers dont fit correctly. I tried 5 different brands and none of them fit because the cone shaped gaurd attached to the magnet of the speaker is too big to fit in the existing hole. I tried to cut the car, but that didn't really work (not the right saw). If the speaker is too big, but still can be screwed in, your gaurds won't fit. Eventually, I got frustrated at paid a really helpful, cool guy at Al and Ed's to install them.... pssd He had to cut the car. There may be a speaker out there that fits, but not Pioneer, JBL, Polk audio, or eclipse will fit without cutting. I ended up with Polk up front and eclipse in the back.....sounds great.

How do you program 2 keyless remotes at the same time? I tried following the instructions for both of them, but it only programmed one of them. Just need it for a backup so I can quit making my alarm go off when using my spare keys...... Maybe the battery is just dead.

Have you actually calculated your gas mileage? The gas gauge isn't 100% accurate. Mine goes really quick for the first half and then slow for the second half. The best mine has gotten is about 18.5 mpg....the lowest about 15.5 mpg..... Thats on-road driving only....... I would calculate the MPG for a few tanks before you get to worried

Well, I changed the front pads a few days ago. They were VERY worn. The sound is completely gone . I made sure to use brake cleaner on the rotors, shims..... and brake grease on the appropriate parts...... It may have been the pad wear indicators along with brake parts badly needing to be lubed. When the brake pedal was released the pads remained too close to the rotor and the indicators were squealing....... The hubs were checked by a Nissan mechanic and were OK. Apparently the guy who had it before me knew to engage the 4x4 occasionally..... As far as Friend goes......double check the pads. Did you check them or did a mechanic (I've had mechanics say they're ok when they are not). Also check the lube points/rotors on the brakes (could be dirty / rusty). Does it make the noise only when you're moving??? In gear or neutral???

Yea, I'll probably call crutchfield. Ya know, Circuit City called the Polks 'component' speakers also, but they just barely didn't fit. I was hoping someone here had actually swapped out the ceiling mounted speakers with good ones that fit..... For now, I'll try what you said...thanks..... or maybe I'll just cut in some 6x9's..... I'll post pics later.....In the meantime, anyone done this swap?????? yea, the crossover is sweet, those sound nice......I'll check it out

Thanks, I'll check it out....easier than cutting.... Did you order them? wonder which set sounds the best....I've never used JBL/Alpine..... Oh, by the way, Circuit City wanted $50 per speaker to cut in 6x9's, plus $35 for installing the set.......$135 just to get them in....... :oops:

Does anyone have a suggestion for new rear speakers. I just hooked up a new CD player/front speakers (5x7 polk)/and XM. I bought some 5x7 polks for the back, but they didn't fit. The cone shaped cage thats connected to the magnet wouldn't fit in the hole. I also tried pioneer, Circuit @ity told me that they had nothing to fit it. I thought about bustin out my Dremmel tool and cutting the hole bigger for 6x9's or for the Polk 5x7's. Anyone done this? Any pics of the rear 6x9's? Has anyone found a 5x7 that fits? 6x9's are a good bit better than 5x7's, right? As it is now, there is just 2 big, quiet holes back there.......... sly

Thanks for the info. I'll try looking at the pins, i need new pads anyway...i have 4 wheel discs, could it be any of the 4 I let ya know what happens

It is only while moving and as far as i can tell, at slow speeds only.... i listened closely today and it doesn't seem to be coming from the engine. also, it only has 76,000 miles and the guy who just sold it to me said it never really used the 4 wheel drive...... it almost sounds like bad brakes, but it happens with or without the brakes on....

So my 95 Pathfinder has been making this squealing noise for a couple of days. I first thought it was a belt or the bearings in one of the pumps, but the noise was a little different. It's a high pitch squeal, almost sounds like an RC car or like windex/papertowel pushed too hard against glass.....anyway It happens randomly, mostly at low speeds. It comes and goes and seems to be worse when I am in reverse, going slowly. It sounds like it mostly comes from the back, sometimes from the front. Sounds to me like a wheel bearing that needs grease, any opinions? Also, what are some good things to check out that will be cheap and easy? Thanks db
