Elbe is nasty. you will come out with scrathes and such at a minimum. roto zuk is shown below. as well as me on a cake walk trail at elbe.. that is about as mellow as it gets over there. I have even come to a few trails that i wasnt sure about and didn't try cause i was alone. didn't know if i could make it!

the whole 411 is... April 29, 2006 410 cafe in buckley at 8:30am then up to evans creek (another 20-25min) we go up, wheel on saturday, camp out saturday night (for those who wish) some guys may stay up at evens on suday and do some more wheelling on sunday Me and Roto Zuk are going to go up to Elbe hills on suday and anybody who wishes to go can accompany us. However, elbe hills is quite nasty.. you will need at least a rear locker if you wish to hang. Me and roto zuk are locked front and rear. We can work out that detail on saturday though. Jeremy

dude,, to check your timing, find your timeing marks on the crank dampner/pully mark them in white with white out or chalk.. get yourself a 10 dollar timeing light and point it down at the arrow to see where it hits.. I don't remember what the correct timing is off of my head but that easy enough to find out i beliver its like -6.. but don't quote me on that. 88, what is the correct timeing? oh if you get a cheap timing light, somtimes its hard to get them connected to the spark plugs.. i just put mine on the distributor #1

If you find them, can you send them my way? I'm curious about your front bumper.. i like it

Sweet... been waiting to see that one.. i still wanna know how you mounted your front bumper.. :bow:

ya.. electronic lsd.. never heard of the animal.. unless you are talking about the new.. lsd, that becomes a locker when electronically activated.. but i don't believe that it was ever an option until the 2005 frontier and xterra. as far as brakes.. this is what i believe to be true. on your drum brake setup there should be a check valve somewere in the system that allows a small amount of pressure to always be present in the drum brake (either in the master cylinder or in someplace down streem. sometimes its just a mater of disconneting the line to your master cylinder and removing a little ball in there. not sure about nissans but i've seen it on other rigs) you have to remove this to install disks in the rear. if you don't you will have a heap of parasitic drag on the brakes. other than that, you should be able to bolt it up (rear disc brake caliper cyinders are smaller than the front so you will have more stopping power up front as you would with the drum / disk settup.)

Mr. Pickles... i think you are the closest.. any way you could get us the name of that place? I would but i'm in ohio at the moment OK.. EDIT. I searched and here is the address. 410 Cafe: 360-829-1021 29401 Highway 410 E Buckley, WA 98321, US

just a bump about times..

There is a place that i quit using cause every time i filled up there my rig ran like crap.. bad gas will do it.

Well we all know that the xterra is a pathfinder with the wrong name on it. If you don't understand this.. WD21= First Gen pathfinder.. WD22=xterra. its good to see that they put a frame back under the new pathy.. so SAS front and rear, hear we come..lol

do i get teh "dee de dee" award? didn't realize that it was HIS. anyway.. sweet pathy.

good point about people comming from a long distance. can we get some input from guys traveling any distance? yes, the cafe and gas station are the same paking lot. or right next to each other. can't miss it

who's red pathfinder is that? that is so nice! love the flex... kinda... sexy...

oh ya, and i don't think we have thought about a time. for me, i'd like to meet up in buckley around 8:30am? just thinking early is better in case somebody breaks or has issues. Opinions?

You can take chaces with champion spark plugs.. those things SUCK I can honestly say that i have had nearly as many bad new plugs as i did good ones.. as in buy a box of 8 and 4 of them are no good out of the box. since a japanese plug won't work in an american car, i wonder how my american axles will do in a japanese vehicle.. :gossip:

OK, i'm in. even if i go up to elbe on sunday, i can still camp out saturday up at evens creek. so did we decide to meet at the gas station / market accross from teh wilkeson turn off in buckley? for those of you who are not sure of the location, i'll show up early.. look for the yellow jacket that says NIIIISSSSAAANNNN

Thats odd. ok, back to the good old days. I used to have a 1983 honda 3 wheeler, built by HRC for racing, the guy i got it from was sponsored. Now this was an older air cooled bike. Ever time i went through a puddle, water would spray up on top of the engine and the element inside the plug would break due to rapid heat change. If you looked at teh plug you would think it was brand new but was NO good. so i tried going to the Bosh platinums which was fairly new at the time. never again did i have to change my plugs. i put bosh platinums in my pathy 11 years ago. I just changed them. sure they were shot but hey.. 11 years? anyway i'll stop beating a dead horse, just this is new info to me

want some bad avise? Got a welder

elaborate please.. what the hell does platinium plugs do with german cars? I run them in all my newer rigs (post 80's) is there something i don't know?

ok, i don't know much about these iridium plugs.. are they that much better in performace to justify 66 bucks? my platinums went for 10 years and i replaced them for $15.00. with bosh platiniums. so if its a matter of just duration of the plug being 100,000 and i have to change them after 90k for 15 bucks i'd go for the 15 bucks

go planinum.. they are much cheaper and they will last a decade. serioiusly.. i swear by them.

ouch!, well wish you could come, but if no tranny then i guess you wouldn't go too far.

just a bump in case anybody has more input. what do you all think?

under normal circumstances its not clockable. and i'm not going to clock it either. I'm talking about making a custom adaptor to bolt the two together. The one in front, i'll cut off the front output section and insert new aluminium. And weld her up. Its good to have access to engineering and a machine shop. it has been done

Well, I'm in ohio again so i can't get those trailing arms to you until late april. I do want that T-case though.. thinking doubler. PM me with a price.
