    Oil Leak Somwhere

    in The Garage

    Posted · Edited by kmgar99

    Use some degreaser and clean everything up really good, then watch it and see where it's coming from. Most likely from the oil pan gasket, but you might be able to lift it up and look reallly good to find the wet spot or at least where it is the most wet

    Running Your Pathy on WATER

    Yea your right B...increase the purity of the emissions (decreasing the bad them as you say)

     

    The stamp I thought I read about sometime somewhere on aftermarket parts like headers had to have some approval stamp...I agree with you completely on who cares what you did to make it pass as long as it passes but I had this whole badass vision of the smog folks here in CA and are asses even if you did pass emissions but had some "unauthorized equipment"...I have yet to pay them a visit yet...I guess that day will come eventually

     

     

    I think the stamp you're talking about is the "C.A.R.B" stamp. I think it stands for California Air Resources Board or something like that.

They are listing them @$595 a pair. Check out the web site.....

    Will your “Coil Jackers” fit a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder? Those things are amazing. I use it for off roading 99% of the time.

    Rancho Struts

    I haven't checked the travel length specs on either the Ranco or KYB struts for the front,but i can tell you the KYB's kick but. I've had mine on the truck for 4 years now and have wheeled it extensively with no problems. Do you have the travel length specs for the Rancho's at your work?

    Dang....us Autotragic fans are loosing big time...I voted for auto, only because i've never driven a manual off road. All my on road cars have been manuals, 70 Chevelle, 89 RX7 Turbo, 1988 Sentra, and current 2007 Sentra SER Spec-V. I've known 4 guys who have switched their off road vehicles to auto, only for the convienence. They liked the manual when they were younger and more daring, but now they'd rather throw it in D, sip their coffee, mess with sattelite radio while they off road.

     

    I do think you have more engine control with the manual, but i'm a lazy A*%

    I figured you were giving me crap.....but a lot of people don't understand the desert. Haven't got caught in a flash flood yet.....Thank God! Definitely like to see one run through San Felipe wash in Ocotillo though....i heard it's amazing how fast it goes through and disappears.

    where to install ARB air compressor?

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    I'd pull that whole panel off and see what's behind it. You might find some supports that you can attach a mounting plate to. Does the 2000 have a recessed area in te floor of the way back? (Under the carpet) You might be able to mount it their. How about outside the truck, like u inside the fenderwells (Behind all the plastic) or maybe behind the rear tires, under the fenders....

     

    Just my 2cents.....BTW nice compressor....did you get the air locker with it?

    I've been stuck in the mud twice now and had to lower my head in embarresment (sp?) while be pulled out by a Heap. I modified the airbox so many times in years past, i couldn't seal it up without a snorkel.....As Far as the desert, my intake was in the fender just in front of the drivers wheel. I would have to change air filters once a day in the desert due to all the dust and silt being stirred up by the tire and being sucked in. Getting the intake off the ground and out of the direct path of dust should help a lot. Besides.....the wife was away for the weekend and i was bored!

     

    The men will play while the wife is away. :friday:

    I saw that, I love the pipe he used....but no matter what you use, if you drive in the rain (Which i rarely do here in SoCal) they'll all let water in. I have a good u-trap just before it goes into the air box, and since i drove the Pathy as my primary for years with only the hole in the airbox facing into my wheel well and all inner wheel well plastic pieces removed without a problem, i figured i'll be ok. That channel drain thing would be kick A@# in the desert, which is where i take the Pathy 99% of the time anyway.

    OUTFRIGGINSTANDING!! Looks great. Nice ideas. Have you considered bending a piece to follow the Apillar and then buying a tophat from ARB or TJM or it? Only asking because it would seem an inevitable next project for me. I'm already lightly treading for ideas. Thanks for sharing yours.

    Pete

     

     

    Thanks! Funny you ask....i am trying to figure out how to run it up the A pilar and connect it to a channel drain laying horizontally in front of my roof rack....but they want $45- 50 for the channel drain and it's not small.

    All made from 2" ABS. Had to taper the pipe to fit into the bottom of the air box. Used a combination of fittings found at your local home store. The hardest part was getting all the fittings together so they came out of the air box and headed the right direction at the correct angle. Bent the horizontal pipe by heating it with a torch...Don't let the flame touch the pipe or it will burn through in a second, just get it hot, stretch and bend, then cool it quickly with water spray while holding the pipe in at the angle you want. Secured it with some 2" pvc conduit hangers (Custom bent as you can see). Figuring out where to cut the fender was a PIA.....I did a lot of measuring, hang fender, transfer measurements, pull fender re-measure, hang fender re-check measurements, etc...I still wasn't sure about the location of the cut so i cut a piece of pipe with the angle of the fender and fit it to the outside of the fender where i had drawn my measurments. I also hung a plumb bob from the open garage door and had it hang dead center of the rider pipe. Then i put the fender back on and let the plumb bob touch the fender so i could get my center mark. Went for it with my jigsaw and fine tooth metal blade (I taped the area around where i would be cutting to reduce the scratches from the jigsaw base) Kind of hard to explain...(Too many beers already) Here are some shots
