I cut out my muffler last night due to the fact that some of the metal was coming apart. I am also taking out my cat as it seems to be getting plugged up. Cat is still in but coming out this morning. Moved the truck back to it's parking spot without the muffler. Man, it's much louder and @!*%tier sounding. My 8 yo thought it was cool thoough
. Plan on getting a glasspack (or something) for now until I can get it all replaced, prolly pacesetter and gibson catback with a new cat. -
Hey MY1PATH, completely off topic but I see you have a big thumper, '79 yamaha xt 500. I have a '79 honda xr 500 i'm fixing up. Both are cool bikes.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
And yes, i'm sure my exhaust leaks are contributing to the loss of power.
-
i'd like to use the Euro cams but will prolly just reuse my cams then. Man, my VG30 can't get out of its own way now. Almost no power anymore. Thinm my cat may be getting plugged though. It's coming out on Monday since my exhaust is about to fall off anyway.
-
Can i reuse the cams from my VG30 on the VG33? Or would it be easier/better to get new cams...and what else would I need to change with the cams?

I like that. Did you use a smooth finish or the roller that makes it kinda lumpy? Can't tell in the pics.

I have a 96 Pathfinder VG33E currently sitting on a stand getting cleaned up. It will be going in my 94 WD21.

Well, I decided not to get the Pathy. My buddy wanted to get it after I talked to him about it. I convinced him to get a Pathy instead of a jeep or another 4x4. His wife told him no though...why are wifey's so mean
. I decided to trade my motorcycle for a friends '84 Ford f-150 4x4 with a 302 and a 4 speed manual (don't worry i'm not getting rid of the Pathy). Had the same kind of truck in high school, except 2wd. Oh the memeories 
. The bike just sits there and I can use the truck and I still have a '79 Honda XR500 thumper to ride as well. Thanks for the ideas though. -
I would love to email the seller but I think I'm gonna let it pass. It pains me to do that, especially since I have permission from the "Lord Queen Dictator of the World" (her words not mine). Between the Army, work and the family I just don't have time to work on it...it would take away from my VG33 swap and working on my B14 200SX SE-R. But it could be so cool.
-
Well, I talked to my wife and she...would...let me buy it but she doesn't want to drive it for herself. She loves my Pathfinder and even drove it for a few years after we got married...but she won't drive going out four wheeling. She only wants to be a passenger. I tried to tell her how cool it would be to have both of us out four wheeling in two Pathys but she won't go for it. A two door just won't do it for her and the kids for a daily driver.
Nunya, you convinced your wifey to drive while out four wheeling?? Mine likes her Hyundai Elantra...blahh.
Arghhh. I want to buy it just because but I can't justify it...enough. Wanted to call the guy tonite on it but he didn't leave a friggen number. Can only reply to the CL ad email. Why not leave a number?! oh well, maybe I need a few more drinks
-
I'll talk with the wife tonite. I didnt think of buying it and fixing it for her...wonder if she'll go for it? That would be cool. I have the space (1/2 acre) to put it, just hard to find time to work on it. Doesn't sound like it would be too hard to get running again, assuming the motor isn't toasted. Might see if I can swing by and look at it after work.

I found an 87 Pathy on Craigslist here for $450 and does not run. Seller said it needs a starter solenoid, water pump and battery. Paint is a little rough but body looks straight and it has the lego rims. I'm debating on picking it up, possibly as a parts vehicle, but don't know if i need it...so I figured I would ask for you input/opinions
. I currently have a 94 Pathy so I could not use the interior pieces and the hard parts are prolly as wore as mine. I could possibly use some motor parts with my VG33 I have on a stand. That would minimize downtime for my current Pathy. I could fix and sell it for more. Hmmmm...decisions, decisions
. Would be kinda cool to have another Pathy...and a 2 door. Wifey would prolly make me sleep in it though if i buy it. -
Welcome, buddy. Good to see some others from NM. Haven't been on Holloman AFB, been by it. Spent a lot of time at WSMR,(White Sands Missile Range) though...ooh and I can't help with the clutch. I have the autotragic.

How is the swap coming, Dizer?
-
i have some new belts waiting to be put on this weekend. Getting tired of the squeeling.

Everyone knows black on a WD21 makes you look thinner.

I just got my VG33 setup on the engine stand and am working on removing lines and wiring harnesses not needed. Just cleaning it up pretty much to get it ready for the swap. Would be easier if the wife and family would let me work on it...instead of gettting volunteered to babysit. Dang wifey. Mr.510, put me in for one. No swapping the cranks then, correct?
-
So what is the advantage of using the Pathy outer TREs? Wouldn't it be easier to use the HB TREs instead of tapping out the Pathy adjusters? Or did I miss something? I may go this route instead of the HooHaa.
-
Out of curiosity, how does the horn affect the cruise? Are they connected electrically somehow? My horn works when it wants to but my cruise is dead to. I need to search for that post...hmmm.
-
Kingman is correct. A suspension lift will alter CV angles wearing out parts much faster. A body lift will not affect suspension components.
-
Welcome. Can't help with the getting laid part. Wonder if I could get the wifey in the back of mine...hmmmm.
-
I think I will stick with a Grassroots center link for now. Another steering box sounds like too much more work for now
-
MY1PATH, what do you mean by dummy steering box? I second the vote pics.

Last winter I notice my rear def had a few lines that weren't working...so I picked up this kit to fix it.. http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-15067-Window-Defogger-Repair/dp/B000HBI9YQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321796650&sr=8-1
Can't say how well the kit works cuz before I could get around to that project I awoke one morning with a rock through my rear window....solved my defroster repair problem anyway...
That sux. I guess that's one way to get it fixed...not that i recommend that way

Kids are fed so now it's time to go work on the Pathy. That sounded pretty good ahardb0dy. I'm not really expecting much from the glasspack but need something to get me by for a while.
