Alternative Factory Nissan Rims for 97 Pathfinder
adamzan replied to AR97Pathfinder's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Any first gen Pathfinder, hard body, Xterra, or frontier wheels will fit. Supercharged Xterras came with 17" wheels. Probably not hard to find a set of those. The 2nd gen Xterra/frontier like slart said have a different bolt pattern and won't fit. Many aftermarket Chevy wheels will also fit. Be careful with Toyota wheels, you'll likely need different lug nuts for those. -
It wouldn't be too hard to delete the sunroof, weld some sheet metal in and finish it off with short strand fiberglass/body filter, then paint. My friend did it on his R32 Golf track car.

You can bypass it with a union, there was a post on it on here somewhere. The dampener is to assist with smooth shifts IIRC. First I would check the return spring on the pedal itself as well as bleeding the clutch fluid. I still have mine In place and have never had an issue. Just replaced a couple bad slave cylinders. If it were me I'd check everything else before hacking into it to bypass it.

How-To: R50 Rear Disc Brake Conversion
adamzan replied to hawairish's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
@hawairish I just wanted to say thank you for this info.... I remember paying $400 CAD PER SIDE for the parking brake bits on my old 1994 many years ago. And my current 1995 needs a refresh, with the board being down I couldn't remember what year Passport/Rodeo. Got the kit on order so I can finally put the brakes back together. Now if I could only find rust free or new dust shields for the rear. Hope everything is good with you -
The early 2000s knock sensors were notoriously bad on the Nissan trucks/SUVs. I've replaced probably 10 on the various Xterra/Frontiers that I and family/friends have owned. You might get lucky but it'll probably come back.

Car parts are such a crapshoot these days.

FirstGenFreak's SLOW WD21 Build
adamzan replied to FirstGenFreak's topic in 86.5-89 WD21 Pathfinders
My parts hoard has saved me several times lately. Torsion bars for my Xterra, one let go. Found I had a nearly new oem set I bought off of a guy 15 years ago who fitted aftermarket bars on his. Perfect, free repair! Fan clutch went on the X, ripped the one off my old 94 wd21 that wasn't that old, it looked the same so I put it on. -
I have had this same problem but find it is the brand that makes a difference. That or there is a burr or something on the spindle stopping it. But usually it'll get past the point it's stuck at and be fine.
-
I was surprised how long the one in my X ran after it ingested the drivers side catalytic converter. I drove it for like 10-20k just having to add a litre of oil every fill up of the gas tank lmao.
-
I'll be doing mine when I replace the rad support. Might see if ol' daddy nissan still sells em. Had really bad luck with aftermarket parts lately. Also planning on converting my square tooth 91 engine in my 95 to the proper teeth.
-
I had this happen before too. There seems to be multiple seals listed as cam/crank for this engine. I ordered 2 cam seals and they were different, only one fit. Of course they gave me a hard time about returning the one that was wrong.
-
Take an old margarine tub or something like that and cut the side out, roll it up and stick it into the centre of the seal, slide it over the crank and then slide the seal over it and onto the crank. This is how I've always done them.

The aftermarket belts are fine on these, I've used gates, dayco, continental, and mitsuboshi without issue. Bando was the OE manufacturer. In 2020 I put a complete OEM timing/waterpump kit on my Xterra, the water pump is already dribbling started in 2022, I don't drive it much so have ignored it, but that was an OEM part... I think it came from Mexico. I don't think the OE parts are that good anymore unless they're old stock from Japan. I'm sure you've finished the job by now but yeah...

Order New A/C compressor & 3 in a row have the wrong wiring
adamzan replied to PamPoovey's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Are you running a 3.3 now? They're just M10 studs, or M8 on the VG30. I opted to use bolts when I put the headers on. -
There is a 2 door I see around here, very rarely and it looks to be very clean. I suspect it is driven sparingly and not at all in the winter. There were a few others I used to see driven by elderly people, also pretty mint. I found one of them in the junkyard and took as many body panels as I could haha, they were the same colour as my old 94. Where I live people tend to dump cars and get a new one at the first problem or sign of rust, so they disappeared pretty quick. I used to see them all the time 15-20 years ago, in various conditions.

Order New A/C compressor & 3 in a row have the wrong wiring
adamzan replied to PamPoovey's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
It was always hard up here, most part stores are not like the ones in the states, like O'Reilly or whatever where you can still get a fuel pump for your 72 cutlass and it'll be in stock. When I bought my first wd21 in 2005, even things like brake pads were always "special order". Now that I have to rebuild the front end of mine after a collision (lady ran off the road and into my parked wd21), it has been really hard. It'll be over a year now and I still don't have all the parts I need. Rockauto is a godsend for us Canadians. For example the local store told me the fan clutch for my X is discontinued (it's not, actually), found the same exact brand on RA, for 40% less than the store had a list price, even after shipping. As for the A/C Comp, I'm still miffed they want you to hack up the truck's wiring harness to fit the compressor. I know it's just an old truck, but still, that stuff annoys me. -
Not even affordable, there isn't one aftermarket at all. Kind of ridiculous I can get one for a 1948 ford but not a nissan.

Here are some pics. Hope this helps. @Osiris489

So the bottom of that round disc with that blue label on it, there is a small pipe, it joins to that pipe you removed with a small piece of vacuum line.
-
Here is a crappy pic of where it is... I'll try and get a better one later https://imgur.com/a/doAuhtK

It's 100 percent for the EGR, to connect to the BPT valve. Goes in this hole here. Then there is this little disc thing it that connects to that pipe with short 1.5" piece of rubber hose.

The perennial XE-LE-SE for '96 Pathfinder
adamzan replied to IdahoFalls's topic in R50 FAQ's & Pinned Topics
NP, there were some other editions like Chilkoot and Klondike in Canada, not sure if the US had an equivalent one but they were just XE with some extra stuff and decals down the side.
