True, but then he wouldn't be getting as many hits on his site. That being said, it's been a month and you still haven't figured out whose pictures you're snagging?

and this surprises you?

You probably dropped that chicken pot pie on it...that thing was a beast!

WOW! Stand alone fuel management, never heard of it done in an R50.

NICE pics man :tongue: Way to do our rigs justice, "caR50" or not...those look great!

BTW, how rare WAS OR99.5speed's Pathy? He claimed it to be one of practically none in the states when he was active on here and in the process of selling it.

Rare may be an early build R50 w/ a 5 speed, but I'd personally LOVE to see what a late build one would be like! BTW, I'm yet to see any R50 around me w/ a 5 speed, and that includes all the ones I peek into to check in parking lots

My rear hatch is leaking inside horribly, but not anything in the front...

pics pics!!!!

Thought this was a VQ mileage thread?

I don't think you should forget about it at all...what you SHOULD do now is monitor the sh!t out of your oil level, as in every fill up, after highway drives, hard driving, etc. I would also have a buddy drive behind you a few times while you give it some good gas to downshift a gear, to see if there's any cloud of smoke coming from the tail pipe. Sounds fishy to me, esp. with the power valve issues 3.5's have been known to have. Keep us updated

Real nice...looks to follow the stock lines pretty closely. Nice tire carrier as well!!

First gen. Q's I don't think you'd have a problem with, but as far as I know second gen.'s have slightly different quarter panels to house the lights? Aren't those Xenon housing's bigger than standard Pathy's?

I thought it was a little more than that. If you wheel it, sink it a lot in water/muck/etc., live in the mtns. and drive the snot out of it, change it more often than if you didn't. Just a general rule of thumb. Nothing wrong with being safe

:Magic:

Wow...on a '99, damn. Was it some sort of drug running car in it's previous life? 155K in 8 years? :o I had no idea the miles were that high, that would make any car look a little "used"

Interesting...you claim that a VG is the almighty engine, yet in your profile your Pathfinder info. is listed as "POS."

Let's now compare the way the driver of a 350 drives and how, umm, I drive, or even better the driver of a Pathfinder drives :o If you flog the sh!t out of a car/engine/transmission, you need to expect to break things. If I had a 350, I wouldn't exactly be shifting at 2K RPM every traffic light I hit Just my .02, I'm happy with mine, wouldn't want it any other way.

79,XXX on my 02 SE, I've never had any issues w/ it at all. The one time I realized the oil was low I ruled down to me not adding enough in the first place last time I had changed it. I must have been distracted, phone call, etc. b/c there were extra quarts in the box after I had checked. Thus, I haven't had an issue since with it. At any rate, about to hit 80K; I'll change the oil again and rotate the tires. No issues to date w/ the engine or tranny, still purrs like new

True. 5-10% of that is lost through the drivetrain, more with higher power engines.

Murano's...a VQ and CVT!

r00fles!!1 teh innan3ts pwn3s joo!!!

yes

2wd or 4wd? What in the world kind of question is that? 255/70...no rubby...lot's of flexy, even with a sway bar and 4x4 (duhh)
