    There were some posts but I guess they got stale and disappeared. I've been busy working and doing some wheeling in the downtime. I might be driving to Comox later this summer for a wedding, I'll have to see if I can encounter some trails en route. Let me know if your in Hinton or Jasper sometime, I'm always game for wheelin.

    get a 300zx man. we can hang out. mines only costing me like 5400 to get here from japan. then again i dunno if you wanna wait a month to get it. im parking my pathy for the summer to drive that ;D

     

    I don't know about that ordering business. I have to make some money and pay off loans this summer, then if need be I will acquire a car. The pathfinder work isn't urgent. even if i did get a 300zx, I'm based outside of Edson all summer and who knows where after that. That may put a damper on the 300zx hang out sessions. :lol: At least I'm out of the city, man I hate cities.

    Cat Options

    i know they make an O2 simulator for my car, but i have never heard of it for suvs although i havened owned an suv for very long.

     

    The o2 sensor on a WD21 is located before the cat, so once (if) the cat is removed, the o2 sensor remains in place and operates normally.

    I don't have a cat. Funny you should mention the o2 sensor though. I did the exhaust a year ago and there were no issues. my o2 sensor just went on me a couple weeks ago, i don't think its related though - probably an old sensor.

    Well, May need to park the pathfinder for a while in the near future for a little while. Looking for something to drive in the meantime, but I'm not sure what. The cars that get good mileage and are sensible to own have no appeal to me. I want something relatively decent looking with some potential. What do you guys have for me? +/- $5000

    Body Lift

    Lots of PB coupled with a pair of vice grips and a mallet made short work of my steering shaft. Simply clamp on the vise grips above the slip joint, loosen the nut and give the vice grips a few good taps with a small mallet or hammer - very easy in my case after i figured out how the thing worked.

    I have no way to do the fender or frame repair myself. My brother may be able to help me do brakes.

     

    I have done a @!*%ty bondo hole repair on the fenders... the hole was huge, I'd like to have it fixed properly though. It can wait if it doesn't get worse - I did seal it good afterwards with rubberized bedliner. Just checked out the o2 sensor location - that is easy. Also, since last frame check I just noticed a crack that I was able to put my finger through so now it's getting worse. I even spray out the frame at the carwash at least once a week.

     

    I guess it can't hurt to get a frame repair quote... a scary proposition though.

    I'm just wary about if I do put money into it, will something else pop up in 6 months or a year? probably. If I do get rid of it, I won't be buying another pathfinder. :blink:

     

    On frame, brakes, timing belt and fender repair I'm sure I can easily spend $2000. I don't have great welding skills, or access to a welder... used arc a few times a couple years ago and I wasn't very good.

    Dropped her off this morning at 8 for an alignment - simple job. I guess they had some issues with rusty framed pathfinders in the past, they mine got a very critical look-over. They managed to find 2 rust holes on the bottom of the frame about 1 foot from the back - I knew about these and they are nothing to worry about in my opinion anyways. The rest of the frame above the rear tires has surface rust, but a mallet and screwdriver wont go through (Like it did on most of the frame of my old pathfinder). They told me to go to a frame shop before they would do anything.

     

    So of coarse this gets me thinking... its all starting. I need a full brake job, timing belt is due soon, o2 sensor is gone apparently, told me my lower bj needed replacement, hubs need adjustment (prob just buy manuals anyways). My rear quarters are rusted through on the bottom from some horrible mudflaps. I was expecting to hear something about my CL or steering components, but nothing. Oh and lately my engine is ticking on startup even though it was recalled for that reason and the "engine replaced" according to the PO.

     

    All this stuff is adding up to be pretty substantial, would be a waste of money to fix and sell... I'm just thinking about my old pathy and how it went downhill so fast and we pretty much gave it away.

    or

     

    4x4parts.com 3" suspension lift http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...76254e3a8f74b15

    and no one knows about the body lift part?

    LD50...this has nothing to do with it, but does ur exhaust sound good with the 2.5" pipe from the Y back?? I have from the cat-back and want it to be louder.

     

    I like the way it sounds. Most people have a similar setup and I think they agree. I also have no cats, and a cone intake which changes the sound a bit.

     

    As for the BL, I'd just go with 3". If your going through all the trouble anyways, the FEW things that need to be extended are quite insignificant.
