  1. Check to make sure the heat sheilds behind your rotors aren't rubbing on the rotor.....happened to me on one of the rear ones, and I bought new pads thinking it was the wear markers on the rotor.......it was just the heat shield rubbing.
  2. We need to be able to change our vote on these things......when I voted, I was in a different age bracket...... Dammit....I'm getting close to 30!!! I FEEL OLD!!! Sorry Slick!!
  3. Let's not forget that Nissan forgot to build non-biodegradable frames on the later WD21's
  4. Jay, I think I speak for most here when I say this.........if not....someone will let me know... You were never not welcome here, or not welcome to post......asking questions is fine.....but yes....do some of the leg work yourself.....search first.......or just browse around......... And if you do ask a question, give people some time to answer..... believe me.....someone here WILL have the answer....but if you pressure for it, people will not want to give it. Just relax.....ask your questions......and enjoy the place.....look around.....I'm sure the answers to 90% of your questions are on here somewhere already.
  5. POWER REAR GLASS RELEASE BUTTON!!!!! I love that sh!t!!!!! Oh, and all the other stuff mentioned here....
  6. Gettin all teary eyed over here at this lovefest!!! Lots of good info here, and good people.
  7. Hmmm.....where do I start? 5 Speed...... Okay....around 150k tranny had to be replaced due to a D'oh! on my part putting GL-5 fluid in the tranny before I knew better. I'm SMRT!!!! Had a Jap import tranny put in, with a new clutch plate and throwout bearing last May....flywheel was resurfaced. 2 days ago, my Pressure plate failed on me.......it's still at the dealership, as when they took it apart, they found that a spring had broken on the clutch plate (approx 1 year old) and that due to that, the plate was sitting a little crooked, so the throwout bearing is being replaced as well...mostly as a preventative measure. Precise1....there was no proper option in your poll to suit my situation....could you please revise, and be a little more specific?
  8. Absolutely......but if that one broke, I'd check the others, as they're more important. Either no power steering or no alternater/cooling fan......
  9. That's your AC belt. Just go to any parts store, or stealership and ask for it for your year Pathy.....shouldn't cost much more than $10 And yes, you'll have to remove the Power Steering belt to replace that AC belt. All in all it should only take about half an hour. I'd check the condition of your other belts while I was there, and think about replacing all 3 at the same time.
  10. The tanks are 80L, or about 21 Gallon.

    Poor Man's lift

    I bought new JGC coils (HD replacements) and I was able to get enough droop to be able to get them almost in, then just had to pry on them a little with a 4 foot crowbar to seat them.....worked fine for me. Had to take the tires off the rear and let the axle sag all the way down.
  12. Meh...I have about 172000 Miles on my 95 (275000+ Kms) and I trust it.....Engine is still strong (as strong as the VG30E ever was) and I turn the key and she runs every day. Maintenance is key..... Run it until it dies, it's not worth a whole pile at this point anyways.
  13. Easy.....grind the bolts off, and install new bolts.....save the labour costs.
  14. I once had about 1000Lbs of bricks in the back of mine for about a 40Km trip....didn't do any damage. Tires rubbed like hell....but I didn't have an issue. Should be fine. Do a visual check on the springs, and their perches, as well as the shocks, and if everything looks fine, it probably is.
  15. Yeah, i have a front bracket already welded in......just need to figure out a rear bracket, and something to space it from the tranny crossmember.......should be a few hours work.....
  16. I like your thinking......working on some ideas now........hope to have mine done by Friday.......got a 2'x4' piece from Filthy Luker.
  17. I've heard that in an auto tranny, if the fluid has not been changed regularily, and you decide to finally change it, it can have adverse affects. If, from new, you change the fluid at recommended intervals, it is definitely a good thing.

    Window Mouldings

    Yet you've got a paper mache bumper on the front of it!!
  19. I use THIS in conjunction with THIS Works pretty good.....especially considering it's on my cell phone!
  20. Any shop should be able to do flush/fill services.....It's not rocket science, but I'll agree with the rest who said to stay away from quick lube type places.....nothing but trouble.
  21. The largest size you can run on a stock WD21 Pathy is 31x10.5x15" Alot came with that sized tire stock, if you had the offroad package.
  22. This is a worldwide club, so getting everyone together is impossible. Best bet would be to post up that you want to meet some of us, with your location, and those around you will respond.
  23. The tools in the kit just look like pipes.....but they fit right over the spark plugs, and allow you to get at the infamous #6 Plug without too much hassle.
  24. Check under your rear seat cushions for the tool kit.......some Pathy's have them, some don't.....makes spark plug replacement MUCH easier.....luckily, mine has it!!
