    So I Found This Pathfinder Right?

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    looks like an out of state vehicle. meaning for rust. i dont think thats a original ca car. id offer no more than 1k.

     

    it is an out of state vehicle. i was originally on the east coast (salt during winter... yikes)

     

     

    keep looking.. plenty of rust free examples on the west coast.. why buy what you don't really want, when it needs a lot of work and has a rusty frame??

     

    yeah i think im going to have to. but pathfinders, let alone 93-95 4x4 5 speeds are rare out here in san diego.

     

     

    if you're close to the border, check out oregon's craigslist as well.

     

    But I wouldn't want that due to the rust, even if the rest of it is clean.

     

    southern california but im looking around in LA and orange and what not.

     

     

    Any maintenance records? What is the mileage? Have you run a carfax on it?? Not enough info to make a call IMHO. Both the 95xe's I bought were from back east, but not longer than a year. A few parts have a frosting of surface rust, but it isn't prevalent so if that is the case, no worries...

     

    Pathy's are rare down there? I'm up in the north bay area and they are a dime a dozen up here. Perhaps think about looking outside your local area?

    i have run a carfax. the odo says 134k or something like that, but we estimate its around 170k or 180k due to the disconnected odo during the second owner. they are indeed rare up here. Only about 6 or so on craigslist at any one time, 1 or two in the configuration im looking for if im lucky. Im starting to push me search north and east so ill see what i can get.

    Hey, so im still hunting in a sea of very few pathfinders. Basically, im fixed on a 93, 94 or 95 pathfinder 4x4 5 speed. now, i would prefer an SE because of how the stock wheels are 31x10.5 ready but thats beside the for right now.

     

    what i am really asking is what do you guys think, and how much should i offer?

     

    Its a 1995 XE 4x4 5speed

     

    Now, after a quick inspection, i found some rust under the car (thats all i found and i'll go back an check it more thoroughly.)

    The paint needs refreshing (white?), it needs new tires (i want 31's anyways) and possibly new shocks (I want to put on a small lift with better shocks). I was going to throw on a new timing belt and new brake pads for good measure. The exhaust manifold is most likely cracked (it has that spitting sound when you rev the engine) but thats not i big deal i want thorley headers. the interior is also in great condition, hes kept it well.

     

    So that leaves the rust and the title. I dont know how much rust there is that i cant see or what kind of structure the rust is effecting. There is also a title issue... with the second owner, the odometer was reported as disconnected several times but the current owner has had no problem. Other than these problems, it seems like a great project car for me especially if i can get it cheap.

     

    so what do you guys think?

    Spare Tire Gate Installation/location?

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I've been looking around for a good 4x4 manual pathfinder between 1993 and 1995. I've found one close by is excellent condition. He just had lots work done like new belts/hoses/trans/brake pads/ blah blah. its a good price too with decent miles. the problem is, it doesnt have that spare tire gate on the back thats so convenient for storing oversized spare tires and mounting things like cb radio antennas :). where do i get one and how would i go about installing the gate?

     

     

    thanks

    Bucket Seats And 5 Or 6 Point Belts?

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted · Edited by zachbiz

    ive been looking at "off road" performance seats and they are basically bucket seats with super squishy foam and/or springs. also, ive seen a compact harness bar in an Evo X and it allowed the rear seat to still be habitable, probably not the safest, but thats why you have 5 point belts back there too? seems like its turning into a worse situation. im sure it could be done in a compact way though. hmmm, we'll see.

     

    edit: and i believe that both the Evo and STI's pack recaro seats.

    Hey, im about to buy a 93, 94 or 95 pathfinder this weekend or next. Im not so keen on the whole single driver airbag situation so iv'e been looking into other safety gear. I have always been a fan of racing harnesses and dont mind (sometimes prefer) driving with them. the problem is, how would i go about dropping in something like sparco or recaro seats and 6 or 5 point seat belts?

    Hey, I'm Zach, i'm 17 and just getting into the whole car scene. I plan on getting a 93-95 pathfinder locally as a first car. I have always been a fan of off-roading but never had the tools. My dad owned a 92 XE until 2002 and thats when we sold it for an acura mdx... nice car, but not good for what i want to get into. Once i get my pathfinder i will be upgrading it. I am an upgrade junky and have already picked out a stillen/K&N high flow intake kit. the problem is, parts are hard to find, and thats where you guys come in :). anyway, Im so glad that theres a forum dedicated SOLELY to what i want to do, it makes life easier.

     

    But, a little bit more about myself, I love working on cars and motorcycles. I was a gear head from birth and love nothing more. my friend is getting into off roading with an 02 or similar frontier so anyone in san diego, we'd love to start organizing trips are tagging along in pre arranged ones.

     

    well, thats about it, too much talking.

     

    thanks

    Hey guys, i'm new here and still in the works of getting a pathfinder (next 203 weeks). I'm in san diego too and very interested in going off-roading every other week or so. i would love to go with someone else. My friend is getting into an 02 or close frontier and he wants to get into the wheeling scene too. we are both fresh on the road (im 17 and he's 16). I'll post up when i finally get my pathfinder. :)
