Now Now K9sar be kind to us Canucks Yeah, I've done the BC side of the rockies before and it is beautiful. My supervisor says the Alberta side is even more spectacular, I guess I'll have to wait and see. I really wanted to go see the glaciers, but I guess they're closed at that time of year. Denis

Looks like I'll be visiting Calgary in November for work and I have a free couple of days between Nov 16th and 20th. Just wondering if anyone's got sugestions as to what to see. I'm thinking of doing the Calgary, Banff, Jasper, Edmonton and back to Calgary loop. Thanks in advance! Denis

Does that mean someone noticed I wasn't around as much, or does that mean you don't know who I am I know I haven't been around my NPORA friends in a while, internet use has been monitored a little more at work......damn computer IT keeners! Slick brought to my attention that I hadn't been around (you can thank or blame her for me beeing back ) and I started thinking of all my friends here, so I say screw the monitoring!!!!! Sorry 88pathoffroad & unccpathfinder I know this is your BDay thread, didn't mean to intrude :X Denis

I got my last one at Nissan for $30, not sure if it's worth the boneyard price for a used one. Denis

I found that a good long pry bar through the upper A arm works just as good if not better than a clamp to reinstall. Just my 2 cents! Denis

Why corner when you have SAS.......you can just go over!!!! Denis

Mine had a lot of heat coming up through the shift lever and handbrake. I took my console apart and realized there was a bad boot on the shift lever leting the heat through. Made a huge difference when I changed it. Denis

Happy Bday Guys Denis

The easy answer to your question is Pro-will stop an anoying rattle and Con- could be the source of your Pathy burning........before people start bashing my answer.....these are the very extreme cicumstances. Heat shields are there as a protection of just that....Fire. Remember sometimes you can fix heat shield rattles with a hose clamp or self tap screws. If your exhaust system has no leak or it doesn't get clogged up via your cataletic converter or muffler, you shouldn't have to worry, but as your rig gets older, remember to check frequently for leaks where heat shields are missing. I've removed heat sheilds before without adverse effects, but I've also almost burnt my Pathy down because there was a leak were there was a missing heat shield. (Started smelling smoke on the highway on the way home, within two minutes I couldn't see and when I stopped the carpet had red ambers under it). This was an extreme circumstance of a hole in the floor above a leak in the exhaust and no heat shield. Sorry, I guess so far I haven't realy said yay or nay......so I guess what I'm trying to say is it should be your decision and if you remove you should know what some of the worst outcomes can be. Denis

Yeah, I know on the Taurus you have to hit F defroast and Max AC at the same time to convert. I'm sure you must be able to on the Nissans since they're a Jap vehicle.

Oh yeah, the kit came with impact, air ratchet and air chisel. Now I can start my air tools wish list Denis

Well I haven't been here in a while. Today I checked and had a PM (from almost a month ago) and realised that I missed the interaction with the folks here (thanks slick). So I figured I'd give you a idea of what my last week was. Deciding to take a short cut while replacing my CV joints(not taking the upper and lower CV joints off....which I had to do later) turned into this. Tues 5pm -started taking apart 6pm -Broke a bolt off of my shock (Damn I need a compressor and an impact wrench) 10pm- Done taking off a dozen or so bolts to get around not taking shock off since I broke the bolt 10-11pm- try to clean the grease of of me so I can crawl into bed without ruining our new bed sheets. (Not sure if it worked.....will only know next wash) Wed- 6pm attempt to remove CV shaft on driver's side 8pm CV shaft off (I guess I learn from my mystakes......a little any way) 8pm to 10pm try to remove broken bolt from shock from yesterday (Damn I need a compressor and impact wrench) 10pm resort to removing bolt with angle grinder. 10:01pm Grinder dies burns out.......Damn I need a compressor and a grinder!!!!!! 10:30 steal grinder from dad 1045 get home.........dad's grinder uses different grinding wheels 11:50 Give up, take a shower and try not to ruin second set of bed sheets..........not sure if it worked, we'll have to wait till we wash them. Thur 6pm With borrowed grinder from work, and some specialty tools from friends manage to get most parts back on 9pm take a break to watch survivor, eat supper and get a tongue lashing from wife because I've spent to much time on that F@#*ing old truck! (Me's thinks she's jelous of Pathy) 10pm since she's pissed I may as well go work in the garage 11pm Give up again, shower, clean up.......ah hell, you know how my last three nights ended Fri 8am- get to work, look at the Canadian tire sale Compressor with air tools reg.$350, on sale $199. Page two grinder reg $69, on sale $29. Some angelical music plays in the back ground and I decide to buy it. Fri night write off due to Getting drunk Saturday a write off due to getting drunk friday Sunday finish the job! Cost for my time - Wife upset compressor (once job was done) and various replaced tools - $350 Finally owning a compressor and air tools- Priceless

East coast Canada. New Brunswick.

Here's the link! Look on the left hand side under Feb '06 and 1990 Pathfinder. http://www.mustang.bc.ca/ Denis

Welcome aboard, I will actually be visiting your area in March. Going down there with the family for 2 and 1/2 weeks. To bad I'm not going with the Pathy we could check out a few Florida trails. Denis

I don't have my manual in front of me but I'm 99% sure that it's solely for the temp and fuel gauge. I sorta recall tracing back on that voltage line when I fixed mine and don't remember seeing anything else on there.

D'un Acadien (Canadien Francais des maritimes).....Bienvenu abord. Vas falloir que j'aille visiter ton site internet. "Bonjour! Je suis Canadienne, et j'ai un pathfinder aussi. Et ummmm.. my french really sucks! Bienvenue à NPORA! " Congrats Pezzy, that's actually excellent. Didn't know you were billingual. Denis

I was going to send out a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone too.......So instead of a new tread......... MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!!!!!!! Denis

Sorry I was meaning to add Radioshack in there. That's exactly what I meant.

Sounds like you have a bad temp/gas gauge voltage regulator my friend. About forty dollars for a replacement from the stealer and about $3 and a little (i do mean little) knowledge of electronics/electrical. I had written a document up on this a while back here's the link to it. http://www.nissanpathfinders.com/Solution2.pdf Denis

What he said and it is called a sway bar link eh! here in Canada

I guess I check for new posts on the forum before I check my e-mail, because I saw this post and then went to check my e-mails . Looks good 88!

Happy BDay K9SAR
