The oiling problem affected the newer pathfinders more. The WD21 MAF is pretty resilient it seems.

I did this to my pathfinder when I first bought it. It had to be one of the most rewarding jobs I ever did to it. Still looks great years later (I strip and apply some kind of wax every year).

In Canada at least, you can buy used airbags if you want, its just body shops can't put them in cars for repairs especially for insurance jobs.

If you were close I'd sell you the 4.63 disc rear end out of my parts truck. It even had new pads/rotors/calipers shortly before I parked it!

It is 13 Inch/lbs. What I do usually is do the final tightening with the wheel on, and just tighten it enough so there's no noticeable play. Been doing it like that since I got a wd21 in 2005.

Wait until you have to remove the front diff by yourself...haha.

Like Mr. Reverse said, it goes by weight. I used a kitchen scale and measured the whole apparatus sitting on it before hand, then just noted how much went in. You can just use a syringe and put the oil in the lines. That's what I did, I wasn't buying a 100 dollar oil injector lol. And Rustflames just posted the sticker I was talking about! I'm not close to my truck right now and I doubt my Xterra is exactly the same. As for the oil I couldn't find PAG oil near me, at least no one would sell it to me, but I did find ester oil with dye, which is supposed to be compatible. I did that work in 2016 and it hasn't blown up yet! And it is colder than most of my friend's new cars.

5w20 is too thin for warmer temps IMO. That viscosity did not even exist when our trucks were built. I would seriously stick with 5w30 or maybe if you want hotter temp protection, 5w40. I don't know why the WIX filters made my oil pressure weird. I just know it made the oil pressure light stay on way longer (or gauge took forever to move) at start up than usual. I was able to reproduce it on 3 different pathfinders. I only run the OEM filter now. As for the plugs, I tried bosch platinum once years ago and the truck ran noticeably worse, than it did with the worn NGK's. I always recommend using what the FSM states. Which in our case is NGK BKR6EY.

Do the bubbles ever stop or only when you let off the throttle? That is a sign of exhaust gas or compression in the coolant. I would do a block test (parts stores rent these) before buying any more parts. Just to be sure. The radiators are also known to get full of scale on these. My dads would get hot driving at speed or with a load (or the air con). The shop replaced half the cooling system before the radiator, but that was it.

I would try some good 5w30 synthetic. What filters are you using? I know wix are good quality but they also caused my oil pressure to be slow on startup.

I always run 5w30 in all my VG's. I once ran 10w30 and it was noticeably louder especially on startup. Yours doesn't sound too bad to be honest. The injectors are also known for being loud.

Here is what the FSM says: That should give you a good basis to start. The refrigerant should be on a sticker under the hood. Mine was near the brake booster. FSM link: https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Pathfinder/1995/ha.pdf I just went through this on my Xterra and added the amounts it said to in there. Everything is working great so far. The only way to know if the system is perfectly adjusted would be to remove the compressor, drain it, flush out all the lines, etc. I didn't feel like doing that. I erred on the side of a little too much oil. It still cools to 38F though.

No they were similar to these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/282709905716 I did a quick google search and they say H4 bulbs so it should be the right one. They also have projectors now It seems. Didn’t have that stuff for our trucks 10 years ago. The clear front ones are trash and I wouldn’t use them. No pics I’m afraid but the lights just bolted in. Just had to adapt the 9004 to an H4 connector. If you search on this site you’ll see some info on making a relay harness.

I'm not sure how you live without AC. It's so humid here in the summer you just sweat standing outside!

If you can drive out of the vibration by adjusting speed I would look at the u joints even if they seem good, they could be too stiff and it is very common on the r50. Also check that the tires are balanced well, rotate them to the back to see if it changes. Last thing is the driveshaft could be bent/out of balance. I had the weight fall off of mine on the back and it caused a vibration.

Lol yeah right.

On my first set they fit ok, but the second set I had to heat up and bend the egr tube to make it fit. For all the pissing around I did, I just bought thorleys for my new pathfinder.

They look like 4" backspacing, I have the same ones except with round holes.

If you want to change it. Get Doug Thorley headers (or pacesetters if you're cheap), and build a custom 2.25" exhaust. I wouldn't say it turned it into a race car, but I did notice that it doesn't struggle as much on the highway with bigger tires.

If you want to fit 33x10.5 you can fit those stock with little trimming (on stock lego wheels). I currently have those on my 3+3 lifted truck and I could probably fit 35.10.5x15 if that size could be found easily. If I had to do it all again I would just do a body lift and run narrow 33's. Our trucks drive best with a 10.5" wide tire and it won't kill power/fuel economy/steering parts as much. The off road difference between 12.5 and 10.5" is hardly noticeable, maybe if all you did was mud bogging it would be worth the extra wear and tear. I for one won't put that size back on my truck.

It did, but it does not affect the drivability. When I had the motor replaced the shop repaired the harness and that issue was resolved (I bought it that way). On the Xterra the coil is in the distributor, on the VG30 it is mounted to the intake plenum.

I bought used oem "Euro spec" left hand drive housings off of ebay years ago, they use h4 bulbs instead of 9004. That coupled with a relay harness, I have great headlights, almost as good as any new car. And they aren't stupid led crap that blinds the @!*% out of other drivers.

Looks great, but take that awful exhaust tip off!

Not my pathfinder but I put the knock sensor wiring back to stock on my Xterra. Runs great!
