I appreciate the comments, im gonna start compiling information for my turbo build. Id like to know what size injectors the factory pathy has, and if they are high/low impedance. also can i use nistune on a pathfinder? i didn't see it on there site. im gonna look into using a z31 turbo ecu/injectors with wiring harness. would be cheap and its reliable, plus i have all this laying around.

you guys misunderstand me,when i say i have no time i mean that i don't have weeks to work on a project. i assumed i could just buy the supercharger and the necessary parts/gaskets. i met a person online who said everything bolted up like stock, and all he did was use a pressure compensated fuel regulator and retarded the timing, no ecu change. i would love to turbo my truck also, i have all the parts to do so, only the exhaust manifolds are a problem. this was wishful thinking. i was hoping there would be a cheap way to boost the performance, like you can on a z31.

i don't have the time or money to pull an engine.I only have about 1500$ to play with.I was more or less looking for a weekend type install, buy supercharger, install it, swap computers, drive. i have no doubt the vg30E motor can take low boost, this is why i wanted to try it. If i ever decide to try the swap ill make sure to post my findings.

i understand the vg33 would make more power, but there are plenty of powerful vg30e's. I don't really want to spend too much on my truck, thats what i have my z31 for. from what i can tell the parts will bolt up to the vg30 no problem, i would like to know what wich ecu i could use. any chance a xterra ecu would plug into the pathfinder harness? i would also like to know if i can retain my AC with the supercharger, and can the stock fuel pump keep up with with what ever sized injectors came on the xterra/frontier?

i did some searching but didn't find any write ups. im wondering if anyone has the done xterra supercharger on a vg30. if anyone has done this swap wich ECU are you using? a parts list would be nice. I figure since alot of z31 guys turbo the NA motors, it shouldn't be a big problem to boost the pathfinder engine a bit.

Hey guys, i have searched some but didn't find any great information. I am wondering if anyone here has done a diesel swap?? I figure since a TD27 came in a terrano, one could swap one into a pathfinder if you had all the parts. any information would be great.

Thanks for the replies,and i have a stereo in my truck, Im running an Alpine deck with an 800watt Pioneer amp with a 15" PPI sub, and i can still hear it. Ill have to take another look at it once it stops raining.

Ive checked all of the above. The sound stops when i pull out the maf sensor from the intake tube. also i put a vacuum on the maf sensor and it whistles like a mofo. The only thing i can think of is that small debris must be stuck inside the maf after the screen causing this annoying sound.

I am aware than there is air noises. This is the 4th air filter ive done. I did 2 z31's another pathfinder and my old sentra, and none of them were high pitched like this. This truck made no noise until i installed the new air filter,after the new cone filter it was high pitched and now i have reverted back to stock and it still is noisy. I just don't get it.The MAF was clean, no dents, the screen is perfectly intact, all my hoses are tight. This is really just a stupid problem to have.Im ready to replace the MAF if i have to.

here is my situation, my truck is bone stock and i decided to do a cold air intake.At this point i had 0 problems, once i installed the cone filter i could hear a hissing noise, so i made a gasket and used gasket maker to make sure there was no air leaks. The noise is coming from inside the maf sensor, its a very high pitched noise wich changes when throttle is applied. after a week i couldn't take the noise so i reinstall the factory airbox and what do you know, its still noisy. Now my question is what is going on with my maf sensor? i inspected it, it's clean as a whistle, but yet i hear this really high pitched air sound. I can't take it anymore, it's just way to annoying. any idea's on whats going on? i can make a video if you guys need, but its pretty simple, just a high pitched sound coming from the maf.

alot of the z31 guys, send there cams to ISKY to have them re-ground. i think they charge around 220$.

http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/ I got my 83LBS(870cc) injectors for less than 450$

Thanks for help guys.I got it done in a few hours today, but i couldn't have done it without my friend James. My truck starts like new, so everything worked out.

Thanks for the tips guys, and my starter will only work if i hit it with a stick,should i replace the entire starter or should i try buying a new solenoid?

Hi guys, my started has crapped out and i was wondering if there is a write up or if you guys can give me some tips on how to remove it. I have done a starter on my vg30et from my z31, but that pathfinder has like no clearence to work on it. any help or tips would be greatly appreciated

courtesy nissan sent me a reply, 235$ plus 25$ to canada. i guess i will take this route. im just surprised that this part is so expensive.

Very nice, but can you take pictures or explain your exhaust manifolds, i am curious what route you took. i know that the z31 manifolds bolt up no problem, but there is not enough room for them to fit by the firewall. look forward to seeing it complete.

k guys, my master cylinder for the brakes has failed and i need a replacement. i called my local nissan dealership and they want over 330$. courtesy nissan wants like 170$. can anyone tell me what the part number is so i can look it up? or how much is this part actually worth? i can get a no name part for 60$ on ebay or i can get a tokico part for around 160$, wich sounds about right. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-TOKICO-Nissan-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Power-Break-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aPathfinderQQhashZitem563949ef6aQQitemZ370328334186QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories this new parts guy at my local nissan makes things so difficult, always get the wrong prices and run arounds. thanks in advance

i have not done this on a pathfinder, but on a z31, at first glance it looks like the intake manifold will definatly have to be removed, after it should be a piece of cake.

ok guys i have a new problem here, i replaced the rear passenger caliper and brake pads, the brake hose is in good shape, but yet i have a massive leak somewhere. what should i be looking for? ive tried pumping the brakes but i don't see a leak anywhere, but the caliper is covered in oil.

hey guys, quick question is there a gasket that goes in behind the Thermostat housing or just sealant. and 2 should i get my Tstat at nissan or canadian tire/auto value?

as a test remove the radiator cap and let the engine warm up, give it a couple revs. then shut off and re-install the cap, if there are air bubbles this should take care of it.

i have the same problem, i think its the thermostat.

im not sure that 2 alternators would be cost effective. here is my solution, on z31performance.com lots of people have tried many different alternators. the most common being a maxima 90amp, quest/villager 110amp and the 350z wich is somewhere around 110 amps i think. i personally did the quest alternator on my vg30, it was pretty much a bolt on affair and almost double the ammount of amperage. also in my stock pathfinder i run 15"PPI sub with an 800watt pioneer amp, and its worked great for the last 2 years.

hey guys i double checked my brake lines everything looks great, my truck is in really good condition. now it was low on fluid, so i topped it off and went for a drive, my e-brake and abs lights no longer come on. about the ABS, i understand its only on the rear, should i be able to feel the pedal jerking slightly? as of now when i mash the pedal it just locks all 4 corners. thanks in advance
