  1. IIRC it is a fine thread pitch, like 1.5 or 1.75 and no one around here had one at the time (it is also a nylock nut). I ended up getting it at Nissan but I didn't have to pay shipping, just picked it up from the dealer.
  2. Nice looking truck. Mine is also a black 95 SE. Bought it from a lady who moved to Toronto from North Van in 2007, so it only saw a couple of Ontario winters. The issue with whole fan thing is that the stock fans work great for everything but these rigs are pushing 28 years old at the youngest, all the foam and crap around the radiator and condenser to keep the airflow going across is long since rotted away. Also if you have the bottom half of your fan shroud missing that doesn't help either, most body lifted ones are missing it. So I guess you can go e-fan if you want or try to rebuild the stock setup.
  3. I've overheard the same thing in Ontario for a few years but nothing has come around yet. It's funny because the most derelict cars/trucks I've ever seen have all come from the QC side lol.
  4. The marks on the pulley only go up to 20 degrees. How did you confirm it was at 35? Check the service manual for the procedure, starts on page 32. You have to disconnect the TPS and do some rev up malarkey first. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Pathfinder%2F1997%2Fec.pdf Hope this helps.
  5. Seems to be discontinued at Nissan. You might have some luck calling dealers to see if any of the warehouses have old stock leftover. Otherwise you'll have to go to a wrecking yard.
  6. I would not do that in these transmissions. They have enough problems with people using GL5 and a thin fluid like that in an older design transmission would lead to higher wear more quickly. Personally I use redline MT90 and it has kept mine alive for the 10 years I have owned it (had auto pathy's before then). This is just my opinion of course.
  7. It really is great. Back when my 95 was my daily I did this all the time for camping. Also get some screen and magnets, you can leave the windows cracked this way and not wake up to a nasty humid mess.
  8. I have flushed mine before and it helped a bit, my truck the previous owner had dumped stop leak in it. That crap is known for plugging heater cores. You have to flush it in the opposite direction of coolant flow as the sediment in there will be settled in the core. If I had to do it again I'd take it to a shop that has one of those power flusher things that hooks up to the air compressor. They work really well.
  9. The only beck arnley part I had a bad experience with was the wd21 cooling temp sender. I went through 3 of them from rock auto before I went to nissan and bought an oem one.
  10. Damn that looks great. Wish I had kept my old VG33ER, would have been a great candidate for my wd21...
  11. That happened to mine as well, not sure why but mine got stuck on hot instead which sucks in the summer lmao. These trucks it's normal for the temp gauge to only go up a 1/4 of the way. Take a temp reader at the upper rad host, if it's around 170-180F fully warmed up your thermostat is fine.
  12. Yep, gotta do the same on my xterra tomorrow. The damn doors freeze shut after every drive.
  13. hose it down with some kind of lock lube and de icer. Common occurrence here in Canada lol
  14. I hear ya. It took me several weekends to get all of mine done!
  15. If you do it one link at a time you could certainly leave it on the ground.
  16. How would anyone ever know if you welded it, doesn't QC only inspect if it's coming in from out of province? Ontario you only need an inspection when it's out of province or changes ownership.
  17. They are there to help line things up. I know I lost one on my old truck and didn't put it back in, I never had any leaks or issues with it at all.

    shocks

    The front shocks definitely are, the rear might be a different length but will bolt up.
  19. You'll also have the door ajar and tire carrier warning light if your truck has one of those. They are dead center in the row of warning lamps.
  20. When I had to do mine, I took the sunroof glass and new seal to a glass shop, they charged me like $20 cash to install it, still good 5 years later!
  21. Try living where I live, where it routinely gets to -30. The 170F stat in my 95 just would never cut it so I put a 180 in it. Just enough difference to actually de-ice the windows.
  22. It should have the instructions for that on one of the sun visors. Mine does. It's nice to take out in the summer time!
  23. @SlartibartfastI saw a tan interior on a 94 or 95 LE once. It had leather and not cloth. Didn't look too bad but the grey suits the truck better for sure.
