I did my BL by my self. took one saturday. not even actually.

soo, did you get 33" goodyears of BFG's? you pics show BFG's, but your post says other wise. I didnt know that you could get 33x9.5" bfg's

year? and HELLO

wow, didnt even notice the date. was thinking why the 10.5" tires were back on, and the stock centerlink...

tighten the screws down on the valve cover. most of the time the gasket jsut needs to be squishe a bit more.

I ran 235 with 6" of lift for a week. very tippy and looked TINY. I really liked how mine sat with 3" and 31's and 6" and 33's.

88, did you notice any difference in milage/power when you cleaned all that crap outa the intake?

ive wanted to do this. but looking at all the "creases" in the rear floor it scares me to think about sanding/preping all that surface

unno. I called nissan here and the guy there said thats why. and the guys at AC also said so. unno. at anyrate Im running ATF in mine. works fine.

longer? I had to make mine shorter. the bottom that is. the top was just fine.

use what ever is in transmission. the point to the ATF is so that if your seal is gone, you wont get gear oil into your trans.

hmm, well someone has replaced my O2 with a universal 3 wire. think ill find one of the cheapos and see what happens.

89 pathfinder SE V6 auto 276 xxx km its getting colder up here and my pathy seems to idle alittle rough. almost a miss. and my truck runs rich. in park or neutral, give abit of gas, you vet a GOOD wiff of gas. and all my friends that follow behind me say that they smell gas.(there is no leak, jsut the unburnt gas smell). and I get @!*%Y milage. best ever was 280 miles to a tank. I dont drive crazy, but I dont have a problem keeping up with traffic either. My dad had the truck for bout 4 years before I got it. and we both dont ever remember replacing the O2 sensor. parts store wanted 250+ IIRC. anyone ever use universal O2's? there much cheaper. I also dont have afew things on my truck. cat, EGR, AB valve. also, PCV valve. we have never replaced it. anyone have any opions on what I should look into for milage purposes.

my exhaust under $100 CAN. flowmaster 40 off ebay. BNIB. 4 f/t of strait 2.5" pipe. and the most expensive part was the tail pipe. $45 for mandrel bent 2.5". I just welded it up at home.

do a 3.3 long. machine the crank. use your VG30I heads (slightly better cams then the E series) and keep it TBI. if you have the money, get cams. but I would first start looking into a SC kit. there was a company making one. but who knows what ever happened to that.

1) sticker on diff. LSD or LSD OIL ONLY 2) spin check. if both rear wheels spin the same way, LSD. if one spins opposite, open diff or worn out LSD the only oil to change that is a PITA is the trans. unless you have a drain plug. otherwise you have to undo the bolts holding the pan on.

there was a company from austrailia IIRC that had a supercharger kit for the VG30E. I saw it about 1.5-2 years ago. just two pics of it. ill try and remember the name of the company.

nice. I change my diff everytime I do my trans/tcase.

I just mounted my trany cooler between the rad and the E-fans. easy easy. not all A/T's have drain plugs. none of our paths had them (89, 94,95) but my 97 trans had one. unno

I tried and tried to get the speedo outa my 97 trans, but no go. so I just simply unbolted the 12 or so bolts on the rear Tcase casing, and swap my 89 casing onto it. very quick and easy. also a good time to change the rear ouput seel on the case when you dont have that splined shaft running threw it. onbolt the 12 bolts, get a rubber malted and "tap" the case, side to side, up or down untill you can get a screwdriver into the seem. then pry a bit and get a prybar into it and it will pop right off. I WILL fell like thers somthing internaly holding it on, but I just pryed a bit harder and it poped right off.

if i see that guy drivin around town, I will stop him and try and get a pic. im sure I saw the box on the passanger(our passanger) side frame.

oh, so I was dinkin around with the old trans, slid the TC out for the 1000'th time, and the input shaft of the trans slide out with it. Im guessing that shouldnt happen, should it? if not, any clue on what went wrong?

TC slid out a bit yesterday. thats why it wouldnt go on. MAKE sure that your TC is in the full 1". I slid the TC into the trans and everything went pretty smothly. BUT, the TC was too far back, so the bollts for fly-TC were to short. no worries, found 2 bolts just a hair longer and put them on eather side of the fly. that sucked the TC to the fly and the original bolt fit fine. PUT THE TC IN THE TRANS FIRST!!!!

ya, got the TC on. then a though occured. the TC, its filled with ATF. does it get filled via the trans, or do I have to fill it? theres fluid in there, just not sure how much.

manual says to mount the torque convertor to the oil pump then mount the trans to the motor. then bolt the torque convertor to the fly wheel. well, I did that. and have been fighting for hours with it. has anyone tried to mount the convertor to the fly, then slide the trans over the splines? help ASAP. thanks
