We should do that with pathfinders! There wouldn't be any 180s to turn around though. Whenever I get around to building a roof rack I will build a mount for my 1919A4 and go ride around town with it to see how long it takes to get harassed by the man.

I'm still waiting for that Y pipe!
James

Did you see the shipping on that pipe? You are right at $65 by the time you get it. They say 2.5 is also available if you contact them. So if you want the gibson cat back you should go with the 2.5.

Those calls just to change a light bulb, is that from those lonely women who's husbands work keep them away for weeks at a time? They just need a little company?

Here is another question..What was your first job ever..?
Besides walking a lawn mower around house to house asking to mow their lawns for cash...I worked at a local Pizza place after school...stuck it out for 3 years.
I got y'all all beat!
My first job was leveling grain in a grain dryer. The grain was dumped in the dryer with an auger from the top so it was in a pile. We had to get inside with shovels and level it out then make a depression in the center so the air would circulate through it evenly when the dryer fan was running. Rice was the worst because it wouldn't slide on it's own. Corn and soybeans you could just play king of the mountain in and it would level off on it's own.

I cut iron! Machinist currently in the oil field. I run a mazak 650 Integrex machining center at least 60 hours a week and sometimes Saturday too.
B, you need to move down here to Louisiana! Machinist are in high demand in the oil patch. Also we have plenty mud to finally get that pathfinder of yours dirty!

The idea of this rear built was to use JGC coils... once the first mock-up was together it was obvious the Jeep coils were not stiff enough. A guy can find stiffer coils... however they tend to be short and don't flex as well as the longer coils.
So off to the drawing board again.... imagine that!
So after a couple cups of coffee laying under the rig a new idea popped up. The factory rear coil buckets have quite a bit of extra room above them. So why not make new coil buckets that are a couple inches taller.. and while I am at it.. make the new buckets adjustable. Oh darn.. something new to make!!!
With a little research some Rubicon Express 3.5 inch lift coils were purchased....
So after 3-4 days of fabbing up new stuff... the new mock up come to a weight on wheels rest. This is far from being done.. .however thought I would share the progress.
It ended up being the exact same lift as before with longer/stiffer coils... Sweet!
You know you could have just unbolted that drive shaft Lol!

I've been looking for a set of Legos!
For the guys fussing about crushing a straight body pathfinder, y'all should see some of the pathfinders that go through our pick a part. I rarely see one with rust on the body or the frame. My 87 has more rust than most of the one I see go to the crusher. Can't save them all! I just grab any parts I think I can use now or in the future and store them up. wife is real happy about that!

That first link is pretty nice, ports to spare! Will it fit with headers though? Not sure about the DT headers but with the Experimental Engineering headers I had to change out my factory sending unit for a light and a gauge, to a smaller sensor for just a light so the headers would clear.
James
-
Steeevo needed ten people for Doug Thorley to build the headers not to get a better price. It would be up to Jim Wolf if they will give a better price if a certain number of people commit.

Cool! I don't mind if I have to change the base just as long as the shifter itself will fit in mine. I grabbed one Saturday from a 92. It looked different but the body is so much higher from the trans that it looks different in that respect too. I grabbed the transfer case shifter too and I was able to take it off from the hole inside the cab. I only had to crawl under to disconnect the linkage.
James
-
Does anyone know if the shifter from a 4 cyl hard body is the same as the V6?

If you decide to shave .50" off your head while your at it you will be getting sligtly more involved AND I will have to call you a coppy cat... (I'll have results to share with everyone in about a month.) But if you beat me too it, you need to modify your t-belt tentioner to take up more slack or your belt will not get tight enough.
If you shave that much you will need more than a new tensioner! I'm sure you meant .05. Won't you need adjustable cam gears too to get the cams back where they need to be?

I'd like to see how he did that too, Kingman had to cut the firewall for the intake to clear. He must have moved the motor forward some. The Z has the exhaust crossover behind the motor also that won't fit in the truck. Why didn't he show the turbo in the video also.

I would use an allen head socket on a hammer impact driver. The kind you hit with a hammer like this. http://www.ehow.com/how_4809810_use-hand-impact-driver.html

Steeevo at rugged rocks put a group buy together to get DT to make 10 sets. It's good to see they still will make a set just for warranty.

So you had a shop install them? Any fitment issues they complain about, Or were they a perfect fit?
James
-
There is only one hole in the intake around 2.5". four bolts but not evenly placed.
Just buy one of these.
Only problem is the mounting plate is so low that you will have to cut off a couple of ears on the throttle linkage on the carb to clear the valve cover. You can use a spacer but will probably not get as much low end as with the carb lower.
As for the distributor some guys left everything else like it was and let the ECU run the distributor like the injection was still there. I'm working with a company to build a modified chevy HEI distributor for a VG. They are kind of slow though.

Got mine a lifetime alignment and put some airsoft pellets in the tires, drives like a new truck! It took two days for the alignment, those young punks at firestone don't know what to do with a 25 year old truck that doesn't have eccentric bolts.

I see J30s and Q45s often in the pull a part, course now that I'm looking there won't be one for a while!

Yea I just left the yard. The 200 was front wheel drive before someone got the whole drive train! The 240 was there but it's not a limited slip differential.
James
-
What about a 240SX, anyone know what differential is under a 92? The local pull a part has one and a 98 200SX. Were the 200SX still rear wheel drive in 98?

Washed it! Took all day!
The down side playing in the mud, the clean up!
Had to get it up so I could get underneath with the pressure washer. There was a 1 inch thick layer of mud inside each wheel.
I even had to spray the mud out of the brake rotor fins! I don't have any clean pics because it was dark by the time I finished.

I agree with AndyC. Mine doesn't rattle but I hate it being in the way when I need to open the back. Sometimes with a trailer connected I cant open it enough to open the hatch. The only reason it's still there is because I don't want it in the cargo area. If it fit underneath a WD it would still be there.
