87pathy

hey jdub, billy bobs is in puyallup. up on south hill behind napa. I drive past everyday on my way home

Its in russian, you can tell by the characters and the web site shows dot (.ru) in this case there is no telling where those gears were made. just like our nissans built in the states, your'll never see one like ours outside the states, or canada, i have drove a 2000 navara (our frontier) in austailia and i own a 2000 fronier and they are nothing alike, handleing power, trim.. just to show you that we are all different. that 4.8 ring gear looks to be from a c200 rear end but we can all hope.

88 to be more specific, it'll be 6 of 12 valves that would be bent.. -thnkboutit- Been there done that.. it cost me 400 bucks to do all the work myself..

I believe (but don't quote me) it is because of the addatives and antifriction properites of the different oils. the dino oil won't penetrate past the synthetic residue. Like I said, don't quote me on this. i work with hydraulic systems for a living and i do know that some oils can't be used after others unless the system is flushed. excpecially in some piston pumps.

Oh synthethic oils, I myself Have never used them for the simple reason of continual use. I have many many auto mechanic friends and every one of them has told me once you use synthetic you always have to use synthetic. one of the reasons being the problem you are seeing. This may not be true but its good enough for me.

Ok, my reading comprehension wasn't all that yesterday, i didn't catch the part about pulling int for half a mile. That is a bit of a pickle hmmmm, thats kinda tough. the only time mine did something like that was when i broke the timing belt. some things to try. Replace battery cables, (at one time i had to do this because of low voltage problems) Did you try to jump start it? it so what happened? The only thing i can see that might stop it from starting while being push started are 1) computer 2) bad cables and or connections 3)timeing belt (if you poped the clutch on this.. maybe they are kinda funny this way. I broke a timeing chain on an old Ford this way as well) my timeing belt broke when i down shifted hard comming to a stop. i know this sounds like alot but they are easy things to check. good luck

I'd check with grounding as previously stated, then check your solenoid.. if those things are ok , time for a new bendix.. I had that problem about 4 years ago. and it turned out to need a new starter. You can check them with a pair of jumper cables.

i did mine like 8 years ago, but if i remember right, 88 is correct about the clutch pack,, get that out, and if memory serves me right, a circlip or snap ring (depends on your nationality) should hold the guts onto the drive shaft that is what the little recess is at the end of your axle..

you could always take it to a dealer and they do an injector flush, that were they hook your injectors directly up to an external pump at high pressure using there. special stuff and blow all the crap out of them costs about 120 bucks

If you can't find that information as 88 specified, post o pic of the top of the engin, we should be able to find out from that.

I'm not up to speed on the post 90 pathies but maybe 88 can help out here.. I have a good 4.375 open carrier rear end drum to drum complete from an 87 that i'll let go for 200 bucks.. if it'll work for you.. 450 bucks from a junk yard.. OUCH

I think the diffenence is in the torque, i've never driven a Z24 but i did own a 95 King cab with the ka2400 and it was gutless as hell. The injection you are refereing to is a TBI,, Throttle Body Injection. this is what made the early 6 cylinders a little bit of a pain, no aftermarket, no parts, if your injectors ever go tits up you are looking at like 300 each, and in the 6 cylinder there are 2 injectors, loads of fun, but you could be lin luck, i know you can do some mods to that engine and get heeeeps of power i'll try and round up the web site on the Nissan/datsun Frankenmotors,

Ok i don't know whats up with the link, it doesn't seem to work. I even emailed it to myself before i posted to make sure and it was ok. But when i put it on this board it doesn't. So, try this. go to www.off-road.com then go to the Nissan section. The check vehicle facts. its the first one shown. sorry for all the BS in the post..

Nissan carrier information this link has good info for you 4 banger. Its hard to read but if you zoom in on it you can see. it gives differential information for all D21 and wd21 vehicles.

HOLD THE PHONE, I made a mistake, the 4 banger pickups had 4.375 gears but the pathy Had 4.626's The 4 banger only had a manual transmision and only came with 4.625 gears in the pathy. The hard body 4 bangers also only came with a manual transmission and only came with 4.375 gears.. Sorry for the incorrect post

You should have a C200 rear diff in that vehicle and according to the books, it is 4.375 for your 4 banger 4 weel drive manual transmision, from what i found, the 4 banger didn't have the 4.6's.. and as far as 4.8 gears, it they were put in, it was a long time ago and until recently the only people that made aftermarket Nissan gears was Nismo (4.88:1) and they ran about 700 bucks. so doubtful they were changed

Hey 88 I got a complete front end from an 87 pathy that i want to part out. How bad do you want those CV's? I'm sure i could part with them. They were in working order when i removed them. No poping, boots are good, ETC. Let me know

the bosh platinums are gapped at something like 0.64 and you are not supposed to gap the +2 or the +4's even ask the auto parts guy

4.8 gears?.. should be 4.375:1 Check this outpathy info

started with a 49 dodge power wagon, then down graded to a 78 chev 3/4 ton, when that went i had a 66 ford F100 4x4 sold that, bought a pathy, got tired of it breaking, so i SAS it, now i just need to finish..

don't quote me but i think fabtech makes a good lift too, i've contemplated getting the control arms for my frontier. but i'm not sure if they make it for the pathy

Hubs are selectable weather they are automatic or manual, if you have automatic hubs, they engage when the vehicle is put into 4 wheel drive or in the case of a new pathy AWD and the manual hubs must be engaged by hand or hammer. flanges are not selectable, they are always engaged weather in 4 wheel drive AWD or 2 wheel drive,

This is a fairlycommon thing, my pathy did the same a few years ago, i got a new axle bracket, new link to the frame and a rear plastic door for the rear jack storage, and i left the junk yard short 7 bucks.

88... you must have alot of time on your hands. that sounds like the hard way to check.. but functional.. about the vehicle running away, any experiance with this? :cool2:

one thing to keep in mind about the coolant. When or if you change your coolant, when refilling you must run the engine until the thermostat opens up. If you don't, your engine will have air pockets in it and when it does open up your radiator will go empty, or close to, and your engine will over heat. I've experienced this a couple of times when i changed my water pump (twice) and radiator... its pretty simple fill up the radiator, leave the cap off. start the engine let it run until the radiator level goes down and continue adding coolant until its full be sure to keep an eye on the temp guage. anybody else encountered this?
