Challenge: The amphibious cars make a return as the team are challenged to drive from Sidcup to Dover, and then across the English Channel. Clarkson uses a new Nissan pick-up (nicknamed the "Nissank") with a Honda outboard motor, attaching two lightweight oildrums to act as buoyancy devices. Hammond modifies a second Volkswagen Transporter (nicknamed the "Dampervan") by using a fibreglass hull and adding sealant. May uses his original Triumph Herald sailboat, adding a collapsible mast and an insert for a centreboard keel. During the trip to Dover, Hammond and Clarkson's cars begin to smoke as their foam insulation cause overheating, while May's emits a buzzing sound and also starts to smoke. May is the first to launch his car, but the keel insert fails and the car sinks on its first attempt. Although recovered and repaired, the Triumph suffers a broken mast on the second attempt and is no longer usable. Hammond's new "Dampervan" successfully floats, but the choppy waters eventually damage his steering on the first attempt and the vehicle subsequently sinks during the next day's attempt. All three eventually set off in Clarkson's Nissan, attempting (and failing) to break Richard Branson's previous record for crossing the Channel in an amphibious vehicle (Branson crossed the Channel using a Gibbs Aquada). They manage to get to France, albeit not Calais where they had planned, but Sangatte. They evaluate that they have been "ambitious, but rubbish." In short, they wanted to say: Don't you Tungsten before you research.

this looks like nissan truck?

is there a factory bumper, no? this came with all together, then I added a pirate flag, no need for rear bumper then.

It is easier to make amphibious pathfinder, then to make a pathfinder out of a boat. Don't you think?

We live near the beach, is it possible to make Pathfinder Amphibious? Long snorkel? and or Please don't say, it can't be done...

Here is my installation of alarm, all buttons works, door lock - unlock, remote sound, starter kill. First I wasted money, buying remotes (from left to right), original - could not program it, replacement - could not program it, and the one on the right side, came with the alarm. this is the alarm kit (33 usd): Installation: starter kill wiring Electrician, charged 800 pesos for installation, 2o usd.

update with Green Bi-Xenon, added two smaller lights, connected to high beam. I had to add additional lights as for the crazy bus drivers keeping high beam always. Anyway I am using a Sun stripe to protect my self, just rise the neck a bit.

Here are the instructions for programing G57NTX318 Remote control for 1995: The Nissan system can learn up to four different remotes. If a fifth remote is entered the first remote is "bumped out" as only the last four to be entered are remembered. Any time the system is programed all remotes to be used should be re-programmed to avoid unintentional "bumping" 1. Locate the electronic module. (Located under drivers seat on the right side.) 2. Under the center of the Nissan label on the top of the module there is a 7/8" hole. Rub your finger over the label to locate the hole. Punch through the label with your finger or a dull object such as a pencil eraser. Inside the hole is a square yellow button. This is the programming button. 3. Cycle the ignition key to ON then back to OFF. Press and hold the programming button. The siren will emit four single introduction tones followed by a five tone burst. Release the programming button. The siren will now emit single prompting tones at one second intervals. Each prompting tone is an opportunity to program a remote. After any prompting tone press the large (arm/disarm) button of a remote. The siren will immediately emit a confirmation tone. Wait for another prompting tone and press the large button of another remote. Repeat until all transmitters to be used with the vehicle have been learned. 4. Turn the ignition key ON the OFF to exit programming mode. 5. Test remotes and cover hole on top of electronic module with tape.

Tape roll holder is pure Avant-garde and I love it. Here is drivers side A/C vent - business card holder (that is mobile phone holder). Then, here is "under-carpet-dash-mat-DC-tripple-splitter-USB" widely known as UCDU Note that there is plugin DC battery voltage meter Thinking to remove Palm Tree freshener and add bacon freshener (?) Then, as seen on this thread: opened closed Lots of greetings from Caribbean, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! Regarding the drinking and driving - don't do it! We do it often in Dominican Republic. Then again, there are almost no rules in traffic, and very few accidents. Accidents usually happens when drivers are overrating themselves. It has nothing to do with having a cold beer, with Ocean view, specially when is 82 F for 12 months, all year long summer.

Can you please tell me what bushings should I buy to make it right? I have no idea about terms, so sorry for nonsense descriptions bellow. I am on the island (Punta Cana, Dominican Republic) and buying mostly from ebay, or searching by code then ordering over Miami to Punta Cana. Here are some images: This should be bushings, but I have no idea, my mechanic Martin (on the next image) says that big rubber is for dust, and not so important (anyway, what it the name of this big rubber?) Mechanic Martin (no it is not Tyrese Gibson from Fast and Furious ): Then what is the name of this rubbers at the top of Shocks? Can I change only the rubber? How about this big rubber, what is the name of it? I bought until now: Tie Rod end dust boots K9515 Strut Rod Bushing Or Kit (x2) Sway bar Bushing Or Kit all above are still in shipping, and today came: Upper control arm bushing Or Kit My questions are: Am I on the good way or not? What is missing still? How about these parts: Energy Suspension Control Arm Bushings Front Upper/Lower Polyurethane Red Nissan (Fits: Nissan Pathfinder 1995) 2 REAR SWAY BAR LINKS FOR NISSAN PATHFINDER 86-95 (Fits: Pathfinder Nissan) 545-1016B Sway Bar Repair Kit Thank you, Milos Korac (I had an error message: Sorry, but you have posted more images than you are allowed to...)
