  1. I seem to get shocked by just about everything no matter where I go. When I get out of the truck I touch the back of my hand to the body before trying to shut the door. If I don't, ZAP! The same goes for metal doors including freezer cases in the supermarket and just about any electronic equipment. My ex would make fun of me for it until I started zapping her instead of other grounded items. She didn't seem to find it funny after that.
  2. Forget the one I mentioned. I went to buy it and found salt residue on the carpet up under the dash. The thing got dipped in the ocean at one point and I'm not going to subject myself to that can of worms. I wouldn't suggest it for anyone else either.
  3. I decided to check out the $1k pathy and it's in pretty nice shape for that price. It's a '95 SE with LSD and rear disc. It has an upper intake manifold leak and needs some TLC. Then engine and tranny have been replaced, but the maintenance history is completely unknown. The interior is really clean and it even has the moon roof sun shade. It will certainly need a paint job if you care about that kind of thing.
  4. I would check out this one first if I were you. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/1665449590.html
  5. I have the Superlift UCAs on my pathfinder and AC on my pickup. Maybe I have an older pair of AC arms, but they didn't seem to have any ball joint correction built into them. I don't really care though since upper BJs are super easy and cheap to replace. I also have a pair of Calmini UCAs sitting in my shop. I think I would rather sell them than swap out the AC arms. Any takers?
  6. I will give you an "E" for effort
  7. Try removing the grill and drilling through or cutting away the inside of the hood and then hammer it out with a wooden dowel. On my truck I would probably just leave it. It's a beauty mark. Reminds me of the time I was pulling Beastpath out of the snow and his truck kept sliding until his spare kissed my hood and dented it. He was all upset about it and offered to replace it, but I simply told him "It's not that kind of truck". Is your truck "that kind of truck"?
  8. I also went with a new converter and cat-back exhaust when I installed the headers. Throttle response was definitely improved. Mileage was hard to tell since the sound made my right foot heavier. What I liked the best was how the truck seemed to snarl and growl with little blips of the throttle.
  9. No problems with them on my '92. Still waiting to install a new set on my '95. Not looking forward to the stud extraction.
  10. The right angle adapter was still a giant PITA for me. What I did ended up being extremely effective and allowed me to remove 6 broken studs rather easily. First and foremost you will need some good cobalt drill bits and a high quality extractor. Next you will need to pick up a quick change keyless chuck and a 12" quick change extension. You should be able to figure out the rest. If you can hammer in the extractor after drilling the hole in your stud it will grab easier.
  11. I think you would be ok with the tow hook mounting points and a solid mount to the top bumper mounting hole. I wouldn't bother with the bottom part of the bumper mounting bracket unless you can tie into it from under the body after the lift.
  12. I had the X wheels on my D21 pickup and I didn't like the backspacing (too much). If you use spacers they will look better. The hub hole is big enough for manual hubs and they use plastic center caps just like the SC wheels pictured. Actually I think the center caps are identical.
  13. I made my own bumper and mounts to replace the stock bumper that my girlfriend trashed. I used 2x2x1/4" angle bolted to the tow hook points. I haven't tied it into the original bumper mounts yet since they still need to be "adjusted". Once I do that I will be adding D-rings and I have no doubt that it will hold up to some abuse. I also plan on adding a skid plate between the angle brackets, but I haven't settled on a design.
  14. The older TREs had a smaller tapered hole at the pitman. That I know for sure.
  15. Sounds like fuel delivery. Pump, relay or fuse could be culprits. Can you hear the pump running when you turn the key on?
  16. Most of the length of the splines on the t-bar should engage the anchor. It was probably installed improperly at some point. I would check the other side as well. You should be able to pick up an anchor from Nissan for around $30 if you don't have a JY near by.
  17. I hope you didn't take too much offense about the alexrex20 comment. All in good fun.

  18. Yes. Most likely meth.

  19. Pull the starter and access the bolts through that hole. You will need some socket extensions. Be careful not to strip the bolts or you're totally hosed.
  20. It's possible. I just prefer to go by Alexrex20's suggestion to not be a FUELER. It's funny to me and it applies to many situations.
  21. You're Rick James bitsch! Enjoy yourself. 4.3 Vortec is a pretty popular swap. Light weight, good power and aftermarket parts are plentiful.
  22. Manuel will always swap out for the chrome. That is the nature of the Manuel.
  23. Just buy them from the dealer and they should last another 10 years. Is it really worth $2-3 to pull them from the JY every year or so? For me it's one of the most dreaded repairs on a Nissan. Right behind manifold studs. The part number is 80552-34A00. Can't trust Nunya. He paints parts pink.
  24. I thought that was Red's job? I saw a Pathfinder today that had been converted to Manuel. I could tell just by the amount of chrome accessories on the damn thing.
  25. $1800 for a 1993 V6 D21 is a pretty good price. Straight body and no rust makes it a great price. The 93 should have the updated interior/hood/grill too. Nice find.
