As long as there aren't crossmembers falling off the frame, the fix shouldn't bet that much.

Wow i usually never get any support on that comment, even though I know its true!

If you can get it even cheaper, go for it. Even if the frame has some rot, you can get it fixed, like I am in the process of doing. Also, has it been sitting for a while? Because mine will cough, sputter and have no power but not stall as well. After a while of running its fine. Make sure to ask the owner if it makes any clunking noises in the rear, and take a hammer and screwdriver with you, one or two hits and you'll know how rotted it is.

Heres a simple one that kept my mothers 89 mazda 929 from starting. The battery terminals were dirty, they didn't look it, but after a quick go with a wire brush, it was good to go again.

Maybe its time to bite the bullet and get one from nissan, sometimes there are junkyards that have parts already pulled and tested, I know theres one around here, but they hardly have any pathy parts.

Maybe that story is complete BS, I've seen that kind of crapola before.

Thats the exact color my rig USED to be, before it sat under a tree for a few months.

Supposedly you can, but I change it at 10,000kms. Using mobil 1 supersyn 5w50 and a fram tough guard filter.

Are these genuine nissan starters? Or some el cheapo after market brand. My 93 starter went once when my dad owned the truck, hit it with a hammer and it'd go. Took it to the dealer, truck came back starting. Never had a problem since, and that was probably about 5 years ago now.

i think that black button is supposed to let you take the key out? correct me if im wrong anyone. And the adjustable shock switch would be one of the switches near the handbrake

Yeah, same thing happend to me, now I run 20w50 in the summer 10w40 in the winter. But i now have a spot the size of a quarter after a while of running. If you can't find any obviously leaks, change the oil to a thicker viscosity of regular oil. That helped me out.

Yeah, don't paint it like a real neon yellow, and make sure you've got black rims, shiny fender flares, anything thats black on the truck, make it stand out. Tire shine works good. Then go get her dirty, repeat.

I would've offered them a few hundred (less than 500) for it and drove it till she wouldn't drive no more. Wierd our 2000 pathy has a high pitched whine to it in the rear also, we got it at 130k km's and now at 200k kms and its still going, I thought it was normal, its barely noticable. ( i noticed every creak, whine and rattle on any car, because it annoys me.)

that blinking CEL sounds like a cylinder misfire, might need new plugs and wires, not that expensive

Its even more of a bitch when the guys who changed it last stripped all the bolts and used tie straps. We had to buy 12 new bolts and re tap the holes, and I made sure anti seize was put on. And we just switched to mobile 1 5-w50 supersyn oil. No consumption as of yet, and its been 1500 miles.

Hmm weird, mine doesn't look like that. Another thing, was there like a fire under the hood at one time or something? Look at that hood insulator, that doesn't look like good news, although, it might have gotten ripped.

I'd swear that if i didn't look at my calendar that the year is 1995, because you pathy looks brand NEW. Good job.

The valence is that black thing that looks bent, I'm 99% sure that its not supposed to be like that. They might have hit one of those concrete things in a parking lot maybe?

If the gauges goes a roughly a 1/4 of the way up during normal driving its fine, If your wheeling I think (someone correct me) it may go up to almost half because of the lack of airflow. Or at least it does for me.

What the hell happend to that front valence

I agree with ghostpath, my moms bf has a cavalier and the PO installed a pioneer head unit, the wiring was done so poorly that if you slammed the door hard enough it'd kill the sound and lights. When the new alpine HU went it, a wiring adapter was put in by the tech who did it, we watched to make sure

I want one that says find your path, and then the npora thing below it, on both sides!

So I guess I beat my dad then

Yeah, in theory my frame could be done right now and I'd be driving in style again, but everytime I got out to do it, I'd give up because it was too damn hot, not to mention the heat from the welder, its nice in the winter though. Also, I don't know whether you've seen pics of mine, but would you suggest I cut off the rail and weld in some new tube, or should I just try and build on whatever metal is left? I've grinded down a good portion but didn't have time to finish so I sprayed it all down with oil and parked it back in the forest.

We should have a poll on who thinks who loves their pathy the most!
