How did you manage to get RR sliders for a second gen. R50?
-
Not to be a naysayer, but you're going to be REALLY lucky to get 15 for your rig. I understand you're trying to get the payoff, but you may need to consider the fact that you might take another hit to the wallett... I bought my 02 SE almost 2 years ago, with 35K miles for $15K
-
Yes they'll fit fine...they also fit first gen. R50's. The entire 2001 rack will have to be removed first though.

I've about had it with see-saw-ing gas prices, I don't even pay attention anymore...

Hi Ralph, finally found your intro. post, welcome!! Wow that TJM looks pretty good on an R51

By the looks of it now, it was severe corrosion on the battery terminals that caused the issue. By the sound I got when it wouldn't crank, I was thinking in the back of my mind it could have been voltage related. They're nice and clean now and wire-brushed and the issue *appears* to have gone away.

That's what I was thinking. I'm troubleshooting by starting with the most basic possibility and working my way up from there. But is it normal for a starter to only have a 5 year lifespan? I myself have taken it through some very deep ruts and lot's of water and mud, and can't say I've ever specifically gone underneath to make sure I sprayed off my starter when cleaning up after a run. But I also know prior to me owning it (I bought it in January of last year) it was a northern New Jersey vehicle, thus exposing it to snow and road salt. I thought starters were supposed to be sealed pretty well...

There's a million ground wires to be checking...engine bay? under the dash?

This is interesting... I've stopped driving the Pathy recently because of the recent rise in gas prices, so it's been sitting a lot more than usual, sometimes for 2-3 days at a time without being driven. However, the past few times I've gone to start it up I can't even get it to crank; the only sound I get when the key is turned is that very high speed ticking sound, reminiscent of what it sounds like when attempting to crank with a dead battery. The first time this happened in the morning, I let it sit for a few hours, came back and it started right up like it always does w/o any laboring or slowed crank speed. Two days ago, I drove it to the supermarket, parked, shopped, came back out and it was dead again. This was the last time it was driven. When it died at the supermarket, I initially thought it was the starter binding, and it needed to be tapped with a hammer, because when I had my wife try to crank it briefly I could narrow the sound I got to the bottom of the engine, towards the passenger side near the transmission which is where I *think* the starter is. However, upon opening the hood to try and narrow it down through there, when she cranked it THAT time, it turned right over with 2 cycles. The truck drives just fine when it's running, no hesitation in acceleration, no battery/brake/etc. lights that I'd ordinarily get with a dying alternator (nor does the battery die when it's not driven) the battery is 2 years old and when it won't turn over and all that's heard is that very fast-paced ticking sound, the gauges all do a bit of a jump and all warning lights illuminate, then extinguish when I stop cranking. I'm leaning towards starter, seeing as I know the alternator's fine and the battery's charged...I even cleaned the terminals meticulously to ensure a good connection, as I also thought it might be a voltage issue. Any thoughts? Please help! '02 Pathy, 84K miles, etc. etc.

Oh damn, Happy B Day Slick, ya' oldie (told you I;d get you back when it was your turn!)

Beautiful! Congrats! Black's always been my favorite color on those things, but I gotta ask...Auto? From Japan?

It came apart like a banana peel in mid air!

In addition, check page EM-10 in the Pathfinder FSM for a detailed view of the IM, TB and all hardware along with the torque specs. for everything. -

I would start by checking HERE . This looks like a decent site and I've already had a few replies for various parts I've requested info. for. Plus, there are more Pathy's on this site than any other I've ever seen. -

Yeah, Jarsiff did it a few weeks ago, maybe he could write some sort of a procedure for this... -
Also note that it'll look a little funny running the AC lift w/ stock sized tires. If that doesn't bother you, then by all means go for it. I just put on my OME lift with 255/70-16's and already can't wait to upgrade, but they're far too new to get rid of now so I just deal w/ it...and the lift I got was only about 1-1.5", not the 2 inches advertised by AC.

^^ He's right...I've been using 91 for about 6 months now, and notice a decent increase in MPG. Yes, it ran fine on 87, yes it was cheaper, but by no means was it as efficient as running 91. I average a consistent 17.5 MPG 50/50 split b/w city and highway; I was lucky to see 15 back then.

Wow man I can remember when u got rid of your old Pathy, I thought you'd for sure have another by now
-
Springs, he asked about the springs, not the shocks. That's what I was referring to as well.

I would guess prototype seeing as he's *hoping* they fit. -
So you're saying AC gets springs from OME and re badges them?
