Dont listen to Tungston man. No one else on hear does. There's a reason he's got a -69 and counting reputation. Clearly he has no idea about anything you are doing and what the end result will be. At any rate. Thats a good start! Should be cool when its finished. As mentiond, I'd be finding a way to get some cup holders in there. Dont forget you can move the E-brake arm over closer to the diers side with a bit of minor fabrication to make more space for other things. Can't wait to see the next update. *shakes head* Tungston... Just couldnt help yourself? Had to spit your opinion on here?

Which is a good idea before starting threads or giving advice to anyone. Always good to double check before hitting submit.

I know it was talked about ago somewhere, but whats the stock filters CFM rating? That universal one from spectre was 450CFM. Although I'm sure its something you thought about Precise I'm Just trying to compare.

Sick...... Absolutely sick. I cant recall if it was creek or another X but I know one of the Next Gen X`s was SAS`d and his main priority was to make sure that when it was finished, that all the electronics were still working properly and not throwing codes. That is an enormous feat from what I understand. All you guys have so much freaking knowledge in the Nissan SAS, fabrication department. I`ve said it before a million times, and I`ll say it again. When its time for a SAS, I`m driving to Colorado. You guys need to start a company.

I'm not sure studs are legal in the GTA if i remember correctly. Might want to check with the MTO first. I think they are only legally acceptable for Northern Ontario IIRC. But I could be wrong so don`t take my word for it.

This Video from the Panhard drop fabricator should answer your inquiry. If you still have questions after that, ask away. Also here is my step by step install of the product to show just how easy this product is to install. Install thread

Hey. I know the mechanisms are completely different, but is it possible to utilize the hand Brake from under the dash on a hardbody to EFFECTIVELY work with the part of the cable where the Y joint is on the Pathy Rears with Disc Brakes? It would just be so nice to get rid of the handbrake between the seats all together and make/Use a Good console in that location. Any thoughts to this?

Hey William. I just did my CV boots not too long ago as well. A member here discovered some good quality boots to use that are excellent quality. Here's the link to that thread. I purchased mine from Cardanic Driveline in Toronto. You want Part #'s 166-21 and 166-22A which are the inners and outers. I had no issues with these guys at all. I just called them and ordered them over the phone with Mastercard, called them a week later and they had been there. Here's the page showing the Part #'s for the years. CV Boot kits You'll still need a tool to get the new CV boot Clamps on properly so if you bring them to a shop, with the boots installed, they will probably lock the clamps on free of charge. Thats what I did.

It fits..... Not well, but it fits. Changing Filters is going to piss you off now.

Ah, I wasn't aware it wasn't necessary if the importation isn't from the US. As you said, most likely terra2imports takes care of all the legal regulations pertaining to importation.

Don't forget to get your RIV done by Canadian tire as well. I had a Nissan Dealership install my DRL module so it would be a factory install, but to be honest I wish I would have done it myself since I would have done a MUCH cleaner job.

Always great videos man! Keep them coming!

I'd be questioning the Coils then. I'm using Nige's AC springs that he installed YEARS ago. These have got plenty of miles on them. I also mentioned I have the Energy Suspension Isolator seats and they provide about 1/2 to about 3/4" of lift as well. Regardless though, that's not going to make up that much of a difference. In that photo I took I didn't have the Carrier on yet, but the back of the Pathy was FULL of tools, a jack, parts, basically about 150-200lbs of weight. Probably the weight of a carrier and a tire. I'm not the only one who's had the rear end lift that high either. Might be something to look into.

I should have known better then to post a picture of something chrome on these offroad forums eh? Look, what I was saying is that I prefer the look of some chrome on a rig, even while beating the living piss out of it on a trail. "In my opinion", It adds a little CLASS to the whole thing. At any rate. Nunya. I've never had any experience with spacers what so ever and agree with spacers being a bad idea. I can understand the physics behind it as well but I always thought it applied more to the big 1" spacers and not so much the small 1/4 inch ones. I guess my thinking was that perhaps because the shims were so small it wouldn't be a problem. Could you elaborate on why you have such distaste the thinner ones that slide on? I'd just like to get more understanding.

Hey its not for everyone, but I like chrome. Well, the extra 6mm effects turning radius. 4" gives for less of it cause you start rubbing the frame. When I had my 3.75's before, I didn't have this issue as much. 6mm doesn't seem like much i know but it does make a difference. I may end up settling for something else, but right now I'm probably trying to convince myself that its a great idea hahaha

Hey everyone. I've been looking into purchasing a new set of wheels for awhile. I've been pretty stoked about a particular set, which is a 15x8 wheel that I plan to put 33x12.5's on. The only issue is that it only comes in an offset of -12. Now doing a bit of research on that, and finding a cross reference for backspacing it comes out to being 4" backspacing. Now... That's not really the optimal backspacing I was looking for. I wanted a 3.75 backspacing wheel. So here's what I'm wondering. What are your opinions on using a 0.25 wheel spacer to bring the 4" backspacing to a 3.75" I would probably need longer wheel studs I'm guessing but that's more of a minor nuisance then an issue. Think this is a bad idea? I sure do love the wheels. Helo HE791's

Anything ever come around for the fronts?

HAHA! Jesus Ryan.... How long was this project? Trogdor636 didn't even suggest to PM you until 9:20pm and then you have photos posted of the finished product 2 hours 5 minutes later. Freaking miracle man. Too funny!

No rear Coils yet? Its not often you get your fronts higher then the rears with a lift. Id lower the fronts to match the rear as well.

Ya. I generally Clean things up and restore what I can if I'll be working on an area. I was putting in the Coils and shocks in a few weeks back so that's when that took place. And about his ebay account, I dont know if they are listed up there yet or not, I just know that will be his Ebay account name. You can just PM him personally and see how long till things are listed or if you're interested in a purchase right now, I'd just PM him and work out the details. He was Very prompt on shipping and made sure I got it with a follow up.

Lift the Panhard Bar up into its new mount location, again using the Pry Bar to wedge it up and into position, then slide the other bolt in. Tighten up the top 2 nuts that secure the bracket in place and provide enough tension that it will not come loose. The bolt with the beveled washers will require the 18mm Wrench on the backside while tightening. Locktite is probably a good idea but I didn’t have any handy. As for the other 2 nuts, I tightened them to torque spec according to the FSM. Passenger side - 100 ft/lbs using 22mm socket and 13/16 wrench on the back side. Drivers side - 110 ft/lbs using 19mm or 3/4" socket. And that’s it. Completed. Fast and easy. Perfect bolt on with no fuss. And here are the before and after photo’s. Keep in mind I’m using AC’s 3” springs and I haven’t got my Spare Tire Carrier installed. Before After All in all the Panhard Bar is at a MUCH better angle. As I mentioned, AK9849cy’s quality is great, installation was a breeze, the product is cheaper then Calmini’s version, and I highly recommend the product. You can find his products online at Ebay under his name “Grandpa X”.

So here is the write up I promised I would write for the installation of AK9849cy’s Panhard Dropdown Bracket. This unit is Completely and totally “Bolt On”. There’s no messing around with drilling or any other modifications to install. The whole installation took about 20-30 minutes. Alright, lets get into it. First things first, here is a list of the tools you will need to complete the Installation. Tools Required - Club Hammer - 18mm Wrench - 13/16” Wrench - 3/4“ or 19mm Socket - 22mm Socket - Ratchet - Pry Bar - Torque Wrench - Impact or Breaker Bar Here are a couple of pictures of the product with the hardware that is “Included” with the bracket. The bracket is burly, the welds clean and excellent quality. First thing to do is take the 3/4” or 19mm Socket and Impact/Breaker Bar and “Loosen” the Drivers Side Panhard Bar Mount. There’s no need to take this nut off. From here take your 22mm Socket and Impact/Breaker Bar and take off the nut connected to the Passenger Side Panhard Bar Mount, remove the bolt and lower the pan hard bar to the floor. Next take the AK9849cy Drop Down Bracket and slide it up into the factory mount. Line up the holes of the bracket with the original mount using the end of your Pry Bar and slide the factory bolt back into its same hole it came from, put the nut back on but don’t tighten. Then line up the upper bolt holes using your Pry Bar once again and install the 10.9 M12-1.75x80mm bolt that came with the bevelled washers. Position the beveled washers so that bolt will be flush with the washers when tightened. At this point I did not use the lock washer that was provided as I felt there wouldn’t be quite enough room for my liking.

Is that some sort of Nebraska dialect talk ? Good thing I speak enough of this language to understand what ya meant. At any rate, it really is easy to get at. It you can hold a ratchet in one hand you can do it.

End up costing you more headaches and money in the end. Better to hold out and wait a bit longer till you can afford the better set in my opinion.
