Hey guys, thought I'd introduce myself. I got my 1995 Pathfinder SE a few months back for $700. Pretty rusty but the frame is good. I first got the car and honestly didnt know what i was getting myself into but Ive learned a lot and the truck has been really fun to drive! So far ive replaced all 4 shocks with kyb gr-2, all 4 ball joints, both cv axles, sound system and a battery. shes a good runner for the money, doesnt leak a drop of fluid. im just looking for a little guidance. id love to get her trail ready some day, seems like a lot of fun! Its a lofty goal i know, i have a lot of work ahead of me.
Ive got a long list of maintance to take care of but Im kind of stuck as to what i want to do next, things id like to do:
-change trans fluid (could be smoother when cold) anyone tried lucas trans fix?? your thoughts?
-tune up
-bushings (could probably replace all of them, are there full kits for this?) any recommendations?
-abs and brake light just started to come on when turning (parking brake cable is rusted through on one side dont know if that has anything to do with it) stops fine with no funny sounds
-broken exhaust manifold studs (been looking into replacing manifolds with headers) is it worth it? planning on just getting the old ones machined
-lots of electrical stuff, tach is crazy and temp gauge doesnt budge. also cruise control and alarm is out (could this be related?)
also been looking into a 3in body lift. at 4x4parts.com, suspension lift is a bit to expensive (maybe someone has one to sell?) but i want to give it a meaner look
Sorry for the 20 questions i know a lot of this is already posted but if anyone can point me in the right direction id love to hear your thoughts.
