exactly

not on a TBI unit, on MPI yes...

i always thought they we a cheap band aid to keep the greenie liberals happy? but if you in a non emissions testing part of the country, hack that crap out of there and make a block off plate for the intake manifold. its one less thing to cause you trouble.

explain how hot exhaust being dumped into the intake lowers combustion temps?

how is 5" backspacing zero offset on a 9" wheel? wouldnt 4.5" be zero on a 9" wheel.???

i've only ridden in an auto pathy... i thought it sucked compared to a 5 speed... but then again i dont like autos (except for tow rigs)

if you keep the same backspacing the tire will be offset away from the car and you will have less tire extending past the rim on both sides so you will gain a little clearance on the inside.

was that loaded? just looked in my '85 FSM and the factory rev limiter is set at 6500 on the z31's not sure about the pathy specs.

sounds like your cam timing is retarded by one tooth or 5°

i know tons of guys that run welded rears on full sized and small pickups, none of them have problems with them. the only ppl that i ever hear negative things from are the ppl that dont have them. and as light as our rigs our i would say there would be no problem with binding, no more than a LSD or an LSD with xtra shims in it. driving on the street is going to put less stress on it than when you are crawling up a rocky hill with only one tire on the ground.

there is a spring loaded damper on the firewall, you have to bleed it first then the slave, go spend $40 and by a mity vac kit from autozone it comes with the brake bleeding jar. you wont regret it.

just weld the spiders up, you dont need a selectable in the rear. and once you drive one on the trail you'll never go back. and they're really not as bad on the street as all the ney sayers make them out to be.

i dont think you could get enough pressure out of a rotary vane compressor, a 2cyl. york recip. is the way to go.. or just buy a 12v compressor and put a small tank in with it.

here is an l&p idler arm (just noticed their crappy looking welds) here is mine:

a idle arm brace wont help much, especially on the PNW trails. once you brace the idle arm, the arm itself will bend and/or the plastic bushings will fail. next goes the joints in the centerlink. the best thing you can do to the IFS if you want it to last on the trail is a set of double shear arms and a re-worked centerlink. like L&P used to make or the other guy on here (cant remember his name) i built mine up similar to their setups a few weeks ago and cant believe the difference. for a write-up on it look for the thread titled "how to polish a turd" on ruggedrocks.com's forum. its in the nissan/pathfinder section.

that sounds right.... i knew it has something to do with the brakes or similar....

do you remember to feed your hamsters in the morning? they may be getting hungry after the initial cold jog on the wheel, or maybe the exercise wheel is worn out, sometimes they squeak when worn. i had to take my hamsters wheel away at night because they are nocturnal animals and the damn thing would run on his wheel all night long.

Kiel (sp?) just plug the f*cking thing, we dont have emmisions testing on this side of the mtn's plus it doest need it. if you need a hand bring it by and i'll weld the holes shut for you.

Its for the traction control system or load leveling, the 1st gen pathys had something like that, would have to look through the FSM to figure it out. when the rig is under a heavy load or acceleration the rear end squats and thus activates the switch...

youre joking right?

thanks

maybe the hamster has a limp?

i just picked up some universal poly bump stops, i'm going to put them in place of the missing bump stops that limit the down travel. does anybody know how short i need to trim them? i dont have the originals to measure from. the CV's bind and full droop and that makes for some scary driving ion the slick stuff.

water in the brake drums and/or the differential if the vent hose was broken

it must not be illegal in your state to drive off the roads (trails) ? even with snow on the ground in WA you cant drive off the green dot roads and designated jeep trails...
