  1. Are the QX4/Overseas ones plug-and-play, with everything contained in the assembly itself ? Just curious. My fuse box actually has separate slots for HID L and R.
  2. http://www.cockramnissan.co.nz/shoppingCar....htm#headlights About US$1,300/pair. See bottom of page. If this sounds outrageous, consider that replacement QX4 HIDs run $800-$900 each new.
  3. Technically, by stealing aren't you "getting" 'em for free ?? I'm lost. Actually, maybe I don't want to know!
  4. You can get rid of the rubbing without removing all the plastic. I ended up cutting mine almost in half because I'm an*l about squeaks and rattles. Of course, now I don't have any at all - but then I don't have a factory air intake anymore either!
  5. Lot of the guys in that thread run full synthetic. Agree with B. 10,000 miles/oil change is really pushing it unless you're driving a late-gen BMW with BMW motor oil - and even then it'll yell at you around 8,000 miles.

  7. I'm glad the guy's alive, but to not go straight to a hospital after you read about its dangers online ??? For God's sake, guys, if this ever happens don't skimp on the ER fee. Don't wait NINE DAYS to get to a hospital. Go!
  8. Snorkel, did you say ? I'll sell you my AC/Gibson snorkel for $250. PM me if interested. It'll ship with most if not all the parts. (May be a few screws missing. I have half a car worth of parts in the garage now.)
  9. Appreciate your interest and enthusiasm. As far Nissandom47 is concerned, you may want to read this thread: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=22491 SAS = Solid Axle Swap. Replace the Independent Suspension with a solid axle setup up front. Very expensive and time-consuming but probably the single "most awesomest mod ever".
  10. At the risk of sounding heretical, I think you can get 33s, 34s and 35s in WITHOUT an SFD. It all depends on how much articulation you want up front and how much aesthetics matter to you. I have 32s (really 31.6" in the popular 265/75-16 size) and, using those as a base, measured the additional space required for 35s. Interco makes a number of 35s that are 10.5/265 mm wide. However, I wanted plenty of room for front flex and was concerned the 35s would fill up too much of the wheel well. So I went with their 33" TrXus radials with 255 mm width instead. (These are actually a bit taller than the advertised size. Interco tends to underestime sizes a bit.) To get 33s and up in without tire rub, you need to trim the plastic front bumper, remove all the plastic splash guards inside the wheel well and get wheels with low (<3.75") backspacing. This is where most people stop. Very few wheels are available with backspacing in the 3-3.75" range and not everyone likes the available designs. Also, a lot of people DON'T like cutting plastic. This is purely a personal preference issue. I'll post up pics of the 33s either late this weekend or early next week.
  11. 4. Mr.Jim in the middle of the Nissan logo. Basically, remove the "Nissan" from the middle part and put Mr.Jim instead. Above, between the two circles, you could put "NPORA. Below, also between the two circles, you could put "All For One". Or something less cheesy. You get the idea.
  12. I would suggest reman CV. Not worth the trouble to pack the grease. If swapping the brake components and bleeding the system don't work, check the vacuum. I've lost vacuum thanks to crummy intake manifold sealing (stealership left bolts out) and the valve cover issue. You can check the vacuum indirectly (pedal pump test with engine off and engine on) and directly (pull the intake-brake booster hose off at the engine intake end and check that the vacuum levels are between 15 and 25).
  13. My gray/silver used to shine when light fell on it at night.
  14. Western Union ? Moneygram ? Mail certified checks/money order/postal orders/whatever is good as cash and can be deposited in Canada ? Judging by the ads and my inbox, there's no shortage of methods to part your money from you...
  15. *cough* Bullsh!t *cough* Unless they count a new boat as "business costs associated with the purchase". Cool. Looks like this'll get done. Awesome! Thank God.
  16. In Nunya Pink, no less - clearly increasing its collectible value!"
  17. So it's a 720 with a bedcap. Maybe I should get a Frontier, slap a bedcap on it, paint it Nunya Pink, call it the GPG 1000 and advertise it as a "Classic Limited Edition Collectible"! Just kidding. I don't know why I'm ragging on this so much. I really don't know anything about it. Guess I was just looking for something to take out my pent-up anger on. (Still mad at the stealership.)
  18. Uh huh. That's partly why I think it's snake oil. All very fishy!! I need to make up my mind on which member of the animal kingdom I'm going to use for my adjectives.
  19. So did I. But Google was kinda vague on the exact relationship. I dunno. I wouldn't part with my cash for that kind of thing. But then again, I'm hardly the target audience for this kind of thing.
  20. Mmmhh... Sounds like snake oil to me. Maybe he modified Pathys or created a factory special edition ? That would make more sense.
  21. Is your wife aware of your "issues" ???
  22. Good memory Steve! I had the Ranchos. Awful. Lousy compression and rebound. Felt cheap too. Switched to KYB GR-2s that I bought on Amazon. No problems at all. I have hammered those struts several times with absolutely no issues.
