  1. 1989 Eagle/Renault Medallion. Come to think of it, I haven't seen another of that car since mine.
  2. I checked my MPG the other day. I'm only hitting 11 MPG. Horrible, but my O2 sensor is bad.
  3. Interesting. I've thought about trying a cabin filter but never bit the bullet on it. I'm kinda tired of getting dirt in my face everytime I turn on the blower. Wind and desert living make for lots of dirt in the ducts.
  4. I bought a cobra 75 something. Everything is contained in the handset/mic thing (I know, technical terms lol). Just has a little box to mount that it plugs into. I mounted the box under the Driver's side of the dashboard, Just to the left of the radio and keep the mic in the center console for when I need it.
  5. Transmission got flushed. Shifts a lot better now.
  6. You must be landing awfully hard! Nothing on mine today. Just driving it.
  7. Not much. Took it the gas station and met another gut with a Pathy he was working on also. Nice!
  8. Hey bud and welcome. I can't answer most of the questions as I haven't done my swap yet. New motor is on the engine stand (1996 Pathfinder motor) but this has been documented here by many. Mr.510 sells an adapter to make it plug and play (the motor). I know there is some work with the oil pump pick up tube and possibly on the brackets for the accessories. Don't remember at the moment though. Nefarious has done this swap on a couple of rigs. Maybe he will chime in but search and you will find
  9. That's pretty awesome, Nefarious. Waiting to see what you come up with. I don't even know where my front skid plate is anymore . I took it off years ago for some reason. wasn't very useful anyways. Changed my oil, cleaned the MAF and fixed a broken exhaust hanger. No more exhaust banging around on the trans cross member and the motor seems to respond a bit better. Still need to do the O2 sensor. It just doesn't want to budge.
  10. Damn o2 sensor will come out, one way or another lol. Still need to clean the MAF. Motor runs smooth now, though rich, because of the O2 sensor. I replaced a bunch of vacuum lines but may have missed one or two.
  11. Linux is the best Now back to your regularly scheduled topic
  12. No smog checks here at all. I never really thought, or looked into, about the MAF in our Pathys. I'm not gonna go as in depth as you are. Just swap like I said earlier. Will be very interesting to see what you can do with the reprogramming and all . What about the MAF from the VG33 in the Pathy?
  13. Welcome! There is tons of info here. Just do a search with key words for your issue and you probably will find someone that ran into that issue...and hopefully a solution.
  14. Question about the MAF. What needs to be done to have the motor work with a bigger MAF, not plug and play? Was just talking to my buddy about a bigger MAF on his Mustang (to go with his other upgrades). I have a VG33 sitting in the garage I haven't had time to mess with. I'm thinking of having my buddies shop swap it for me along with the VG30E cams and Mr. 510's adaptor.
  15. Worked for Intel for 10 years repairing equipment that made the computer chips. Got layed off a few years ago. Now I manage all the military movements for New Mexico. Talk about a career change.
  16. This sounds pretty awesome! Nice work so far. I'm an EET, shoulda went EE. It's been so long since I messed with programming chips f I wouldn't know what I was doing, especially on the Pathy.
  17. Supposedly they were old passwords for the accounts. Good idea to change your password though

    Body lifts

    4x4parts has them for the 94-94 Pathys. something to do with a change to the rear mounting bolts. Don't remember the actual change ATM though.
  19. I only had one in my '94. Maybe California emissions truck?? I'm gonna have to look into that muffler. The Thrush glasspack I put in is loud and obnoxious. Just needed something after i removed the cat and muffler (they were toast).
  20. I had a '98 Sentra SE-R for several years. Loved that car but needed a 4 door because my little ones aren't getting any smaller. So I got a 2006 Sentra SE-R SPEC V. It's a great car. Completely different feel with QR25DE motor coming from the SR20DE. This motor has way more torque though and the 6 speed is nice. Back seat is kinda tight but my kids sit in it so no big deal for me. I do have a header to replace the stock exhaust manifold and lose the pre--cat but want to do a full exhaust so it doesn't sound like crap...nothing obnoxious though. One thing to note is crank and cam position sensors are flakey and will cause CEL. They are cheap and easy ( ) to change though. Same part for both sensors.
  21. Mine is about 30 years old. Just removed it from the package actually. Worked like a champ for stubborn screws on the motorcycle carbs.
  22. Update time! Hey all, been gone for a bit. Had to go to Fort Bliss for a few weeks so couldn't do anything to the Pathy. Finally got the IACV gasket i needed when I got back. Only cost $3 but Nissan had to order it. The gasket came in just in time to take the family camping, so no messing with the Pathy for another little bit. Finally got to work on it this weekend. Put all the new parts in and after jumping it with my Sentra... she lives! The motor runs better than it has in years. Still low on power but that's normal. Drove it a couple miles to my buddies to test it out. The motor is idle-ing and running pretty well but my CEL came on. I ran the codes and it shows 33 and 34, O2 and knock sensor. I already have a new 02 sensor for it but haven't been able to get the old one out, even after a week of PB Blaster. I think that is what is causing the code 34. One weird issue it is having is, when you are at a stop and floor it the truck won't barely move and RPMs take a bit to go up before it goes. It just seems to bog. If you ease into the throttle it goes all right. I have had weird issues with it before that seem to be trans related but i found a '97 trans, torque converter, xsfer case and driveshaft for $300 i might call on. Gonna change the fuel filter and flush the trans for now to see if that helps. 220k miles on it and still kicking though.
  23. A couple extensions and a swivel adapter and the #6 isn't too bad. Welcome!
