Probable a coin in the track. I see it all the time. Unbolt seat, remove from vehicle, flip upside down and try to slide track back and fourth. When it stops, inspect and remove. Pliers and a screwdriver, maybe cutting dikes.

Here is a quick pick of the filter. And I was wrong, the nipple on the adapter is on my brothers 99QX4.

I actually got it from the stillen web site. I thought it would be the same intake as I used on my 300zx, but I noticed it was the JW filter and instructions. You can find it through stillen.com pretty easy. The box is at my work I think, I will check tomorrow for the part number. http://www.stillen.com/product_detail.aspx?sku=402920

It is stated in the accesories catalog as " All w/Bose CD6 & w/o xm sat radio". Im not sure if the model you have is compatible. Check your radio for a SAT button. If you have it, you can install it. IF you dont, you cant.... well kind of. There are always aftermarket universal kits that you can install yourself, and be a heck of a lot cheaper than the factory option. Check Crutchfield.com for some options. Or just search around.

The JW pop-charger has a nipple on the adapter for the filter. That where I plugged mine into.

My brother got a cat back system for his 99 QX4 custom made with stainless and a Magnaflow muffler with dual tips for about $350. sounds pretty good to me.

To quote the great Homer Simpson- "Doh"!

Yeah, check for a sticker on the diff. Or you can have a little fun and try to do a burnout, or go around a corner and accelerate and see 1 wheel spins your you slide sideways. My SE with power everthing and a 5-speed didnt have a limited slip, but I slipped in a Lockright locker later on. Ever get a pathy on 33's into a full sideways drift and pull out, I have! Very interesting!

I have soaked the window run rubbers with WD-40. I use the application tube to get into the track. Roll the window up and down a couple of times then leave up for a little while. Dirt gets into the track and will scratch against the window and create noise. It works. If its the window regulator making noise, the only lube thats worked for me is the nissan window regulator grease. I have no idea what kind of grease it is, but it works.

I take it the light is on when running? check your charging system and make sure your alternator is working correctly. A loose battery connection may be causing you some problems. Also, since you just changed brakes, double check the master cylinder level sensor(if you have one).

Pulling out other people with the pathy is fun! My second time out after I lifted it, I pulled my brothers friend, in a 85 F-150, off of some rocks that he got high centered on. A couple of his buddies were in jeeps and they thought there was no way I would be able to pull him, but I did! Hey, got a free case of the frosty brew for it! There is nothing like a confidence boost to help you know your limits!

96-98 pathfinders have a extended warranty on the exhaust manifolds up to 100months/100,000 miles. On your 97, yeah the manifold is probably cracked. You can always take the heat shield off and check for yourself. Everything else is not that hard. As for the engine cleaning, check your throttle body for carbon buildup. You can also clean that yourself.

Well, the first thing to ask your tech is what the pressures were while operating your a\c. If its not blowing cold and you suspect a expansion vavle, do a touch and feel to the a\c lines going to the evaporator. The high pressure side should feel warm, but not hot. The low side should feel cool, but not cold. If the expansion valve is stuck open, it is possible that the evaporator is freezing. The lines would feel abnormally cool. And the exact opposite if it was stuck closed. Turn your a\c on and may sure the compressor is operating, and switching on and off when its supposed to. Check it and let us know.

I personally installed that in my 95 pathfinder, my borthers 99 QX4, My 91 300zx, and in my buddies 92 Maxima. Its easy to install with the directions they give you. It sounded pretty good to me because the adapters has adjustments. A heck of a lot cheaper than speakers, amps, wiring and time. That is unless you want something totaly custom and supoer loud!

this is from the crutchfield website. "OEM Amplifier Integration v.4 94-up Nissan/Infiniti Lets you integrate a high-powered aftermarket receiver into select 1994-up Nissans with premium factory systems • compatible with high-power receivers Because your vehicle is factory-equipped with a special sound system, Crutchfield recommends that you purchase an adapter. This adapter eliminates the need for extensive and time-consuming re-wiring when you install your new receiver. In some cases, not using an adapter will make it necessary to replace the entire factory sound system, including the speakers. " I was just trying to help with the "cheaper" route. It sounds pretty good to me in my pathfinder. Just trying to help.

Ok, wait, are your speakers bad? If you are trying to stay on the cheap, just replace the head unit. Go to crutchfield.com and you can purchase a new head unit and it will come free with the new brackets and full instructions to do it yourself. You will need to purchase a harness adapter, which they sell. I installed a panasonic head unit in my brothers 99 QX4 and it was a piece of cake. Now, if you need to replace the speakers, you can always get some speakers and jump passed the amps. I did that on my 91 300zx and it worked perfectly. A new head unit, speakers and amps can get spendy all at once.

Ok, so I have been wondering this for awhile. Has anyone tried to flip the tension rod to the top of the lower control arm? I have been staring at mine trying to figure out a way to reduce the angle and wear that it will eventually create. I thought of flipping it, but wasnt sure what, if any, problems this may or may not create. Hey, its just an idea and I was looking for some possible direction. Anyone have any comments or ideas? Has anyone tried it? All the kick a$$ knowledge on here, I know someone must know something! Thanks guys! sly

O man, were do you start with a question like that. Probably the most needed is fabed sliders, front and rear bumpers! Or headers and exhaust? Or fix some body oopses? The list could be endless.....

I hate it when people ask me what year my 4 runner is ! but I have also been asked(and maybe this should be added), "Thats a Nissan? I didnt know Nissan made 4x4's!" Somedays you just want to smack some people.

Yeah, the BG products are pretty good. We use them at my work. They have a Air Intake System Cleaner that does a awsome job of cleaning the intake and valves of built-up carbon. And using the 87 octane gas, I tend to get a little worse mileage. I usually put 89 octane in and I use nothing but Chevron fuels if I can help it.

Have you tried to add the extra gound to the air flow meter. I have seen it on here on how to do it. It can make a pretty big difference. Search and see what you find and let us know.

Lets see if I remember this correctly. First- put key in ignition, do not turn on. 2nd- Find control unit under drivers seat and hole in top. There may be a sticker in the way, just push through and hold the button down. 3rd- When the audible beep(strange mulit-toned beep that is) is heard, push the big button on your key fob(s). 4th- Then turn your key all the way on, then off, then check the operation of the fob(s). The switch on the center console can be left on or off I believe, but I usually just switch it to on. Try it and see if it works.

that is the correct tsb. If thats your problem, get er done!

I check clutchs by putting it in 5th gear and try to take off. You may need to rev it up a little bit to take off. A good clutch will stall on take off, a bad clutch will slip and you will take off really slow. Try it and see what happens.

Anyone notice the rear arm rests that are on the side of the rear seat. Its nice to have something to put your arm on insead of the grab handle on the door. The little things are what make these vehicles so nice and "Utility"! Oh yeah, the cupholder in the center console doesnt bother me. At least they are two different sizes. Just have to remember to not put anything important in there in case of a spill, oh well!
