I can't believe nissan hasn't even opted to pay for a portion of the repairs, since this should not happen to a truck of this age.

No the frame has not been repaired before, that was my friend and i trying to repiar some of the rot. And I'd probably give you that sway bar link but this truck needs to pass an ontario safety inspection, and i belive you need the sway bars for that?? Im in ottawa and only 17, any other wd21 owners around with the same problem locally?

The rest of the body is in very good condition, then engine runs clean with no abnormal noises, the tires are almost brand new, been very well maintained mechanically, and no this truck is not currently on the road, but I hope to get it back on soon! Also there are certain other conditions to owning this truck which means I can't just sell it off for parts.

Im still gonna try and fix it somehow, waiting to hear from someone about it. The frame after the rear wheel will need plating as well, as there are a few golf ball sized holes. TerranoNZ, Those tires are 31x10.5 bridgestone dueller AT's with like 95 percent tread left. I don't know that much about tires, they came with the truck when my dad gave it to me, are they good? Oh and what is that thing to left that is disconnected? It appears to be some kind of linkage. Its been like that for years. The one on the right is fine though.

Here are some pics of my frame, its only bad in that area though :confused: If you look you can see that there had been some rust prevention applied but it just didn't work. i might be able to get a deal on some help fixing it Oh and the only reason its muddy is because my friend took it wheeling without me knowing!!!! Lets just say i had a chat with him -argue-

Hey I'm 30 minutes south of ottawa and my 93 is probably rusted just as bad as yours. She's been un-plated for almost a year and Im slowly piecing it back together with the advice of people on this forum. All you can really do is cut out the old and weld in new metal. BTW, is your crossmember that connects to the rear axle still attached(the one thats right in front of the rear tires)? Oh and I also refuse to let mine go too.

Kennel is a really good idea. Would also prevent dog fur from getting everywhere and prevent your leather from getting scratched, if you have leather that is. My friend try to put his mutt in my pathy but i just locked the doors so he couldn't get in, didn't want my mint 93SE leather interior ruined.

Does it reduce gas milage?

Does it really matter if its seized like that? Mines been doing it (bus like sounds) for almost a year. Seems to run a bit cooler that way though

Might want to measure first just in case. Before dad gave me the 93 pathy he wanted to see if the legos with 31x10.5's would fit on his 2000 r50. He had just bought new tires for the 93 and wanted to use them as winters. They did NOT clear the front calipers.

My 93 has been having trouble firing up as well. It'll turn over and over and then finally start firing but very rough and you have to give it alot of gas to get it going properly but thats only if its left off for more than a few days. Im going to try some injector cleaner and see if that clears up the problem but hey maybe my ignition is going out as well. :confused:

Hey Im some clueless kid (17) whos revved their engine to 5k rpm a few times but I still respect my truck. And mws said if its been well maintained it'll last forever if you want it too. Oh and yes check for rust, especially on the frame.

Fluid film website you can buy it at most hardware stores like lowes or canadian tire

Here in Ontario Canada the roads are salted like you wouldnt believe...

Ive got one thing to say. Mines worse, that upper control arm mount is broken off.

Oh I've got another question about this frame business. This truck is NOT currently plated for the road. It will have to go through an ontario safety inspection. So is there any possibility of this thing passing it with the frame patched up with plates?

Yeah, my rust in the area where the mount is located is worse than yours and I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to put in back on.

Is it common for this thing to come off with the pathfinder frame rust? And also, will it be a difficult task to mount it back where it came from?

I found a pic on Slicks webpage that I put arrows on to show which bar fell off the frame. Im currently trying to find some steel so i can re mount it.

Mine does it too, well untill i pulled the A/C belt off and it stopped. Turns out the little tensioner pulley is either just noisy, worn, or needs lube. I figure its the culprit because the a/c belt is the only one with a tensioner on my 93.

The best I can describe it as is a steel tube that is welded to the bottom of the frame with a mount right in front of the rear wheels. If you have a lift you can see it plain as day. Its sitting on top of the exhaust right now and i tried to lift it but its really heavy. I have been slowly cuttin out the other rusty parts and plating it in, but this looks like it'll be the hardest. thanks and i hope that described it better this time.

Anyone got any suggestions how to mount it back up?

So I finally got off my lazy but to fix this thing and now I have a question. The bar that i thought was a cross memeber for the frame that had broken off seems to be connected to the rear axle, is this a vital part of the truck for safety? I don't have any pics but maybe one of you guys knows what im talking about. thanks

Someone should really make a write up for fixing the frames on these things. Im getting and tired of people telling me that frame rust can't be fixed. Ill be getting around to my frame as soon as the darn canadian tire here gets more welding wire spools in. Should keep me busy for the next while.

Will a 70A welder work? I just bought one and hope it will.
