    Hi, everyone. Still have not found a good solution to picture posting. So... thought to write about the old Nissan. It has been too long since I have regularly visited this site and did forget all about it. Many things have been done, including: She has a HE351 turbo now, Larger intercooler, better piping, 4" throttle body, z31 intake (customized), 4" air inlet and air filter, 3" downpipe and exhaust, 6 large injectors(instead of 2), Large fuel pump and filters, Large radiator, FASS fuel regulator, relocate steering gear, Upgrade all suspension arms/ends, Larger master cylinder, Steel braided brake hoses, Upgraded trans control, Knock light, Air compressor and inverter upgrade, Relocate ECU/TCU, A/C condenser upgrade, Power steering pump upgrade, Reconfigured air ride system, Shortened rear frame/bumper/hitch for strength and departure angle, Solid cross rear u-joints, Air to air trans cooler with fan, Blow off valve and Increased wheelbase to compliment tire diameter and increase attack angle.

    Wiper motor upgrade.

    in 86.5-89 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Thanks for the advice. Been same since 2003, powerful...but slower than I like. I have had 6 Wd's and alot of D21's over the years...always slow wipers. I just wish that they could run like my 2004 Pathfinder Armada. I guess not a problem for many, most D21's will not get up to the speeds on the highway like mine. Yes, with enough time and money any motor could be fitted.

    Hi, I have heard other WD21/D21 owners complain about the power and speed of these older wiper motors. Although I have used my same wiper motor for almost 20 years with no failure, I wish it had a little more ummph !! Years ago I read about a different vehicles' wiper motor that can be retro-fitted to our trucks. Anyone know about this or done a similar upgrade ??? Any clues/info would be much appreciated.

    Thanks, Scott

    ok im happy u didnt get all defensive on me. most people get all upset when i give them constructive criticism , but at least ur not one of those ignorant people.

     

    sounds like the arms brackets should be alright then, but i would still definitely just weld on a couple gussets onto those bag mounts because they WILL start bending man believe me. maybe add something on top of the bag plate too so that they plates wont start warping also. you dont want one of those bags blowin out on u on the road. much easier to weld a couple pieces of metal then to have ur truck slam onto the ground going 60mpg. (ive learned that from personal experience from when one of my air lines came loose, got close to the exhaust and melted)

     

    ive been lookin at those block u put in for the body lift. i think it might be a good idea to run sum bushing in between because from wat i see its just metal to metal which will cause lots of vibrations and will eventually break also. so either gusset the @!*% outa them if u dont mind the vibrations or put sum rubber in between them

     

    i would also recommend you get some Slam Speclties bags. Re8s would be perfect. They are much stiffer and stronger (double layered) then every other bag out there which provides an excellent ride. They also have internal bump stops in them so even if for some reason you lose all your air you can still drive on them. I use them for ALL of our air suspensions. I might have an extra set layin around here if ur interested

     

    If you got any questions about anything ill be more then happy to help you out. Id love to see that thing finished real nice and be reliable since u drive it daily. That is what i try to do with even all the trailer queens at our shop. That is my goal with all the car/trucks i do. Even if they are full show cars i still try to build them to be reliable enough to drive everyday.

     

     

    oh yeah an about the lift jack. heres the pic im talking about. im guessin u might have used it to lift the body up or something?

     

    its right between the frame n body on the right side inside the fender well

    sorry for another essay guys

    Oh,yeah the floor was very rusted ever since I've I used that to hold it up until I could fasten it. The frame and body have mounts between them. The engine runs very quiet and vibration free. I didn't think of the airbag flanges bending, Thanks I will add some triangles to form a pad for them.

    Does anyone know the procedure for checking the transmission codes on an 88 Pathfinder V-6 ??? I used to remember , but it has been so long. I remember that there is a sequence of moving the shifter while the ignition is turned on and off , then the Trans power light will flash the codes. Sorry if this has already been posted, I did try searching for the info. Thanks, Scott.

    hey man great looking truck. definetly something different. what are those wheels from? tractor?

     

    i would really recommend you do some serious gusseting/reinforcing on the bag mounts and the arm mounts. especially if ur driving this daily (if i read correctly)

     

    Those upper bag mounts will start warping out big time and the arm mounts dont seem to be gusseted or anything either. There is also a possibility that it will start warping out your frame from all the stress on that square tubing. The top bag mounts should also cover as much surface area of the bag plate as possible because if you have it set up with just the tubing in the middle of the plate it will start warping the plate around it. This will cause the rubber to start tearing away from the plate ending in a blown/torn air bag.

     

    The arm brackets on the axle will probably be ok, but its always better to be safe then sorry. I could not see them very well in the pic so i might be wrong, but to me it looks like there just kinda wimpy for those big ass arms!!!

     

    im not trying to be a dick or bash on ur truck i am just trying to make sure that you and everyone on the road are safe.

     

    i build suspensions (specialize in air and long travel suspension) for a living so im not pulling this @!*% outa my ass. its all from experience.

     

     

    if you got any close up pics of all the brackets and mounts i would love to check them.

     

    once again i am not bashing your truck or your work i am just looking out for everyone safety. Ive seen and heard to many horror storys from working at shop where people think stuff is done right until it something falls on the freeway and goes through someones windshield.

     

    sorry for the essay guys

     

     

    one other thing. why is there a jack in between your frame and body? did u forget to take it out after the body lift or somethin? im confused

    Huh, Thanks, I love to improve, learn more and update things.. There is a sub-frame between the links and the top frame link mounts are gusseted with giant pieces. The lift has been on for 4 years, and been tested for strength harshly many times. The bags I've had for millions of bumps off and on-road. They are 2600# 1/2" ports, they were less than $45 new each including shipping. They are temporary, I will have long-travel coil-overs---when I can afford them (After I win the Lottery)..Jack ??? I am not sure what you mean. I'm confused. These are construction pics, a lot of things were used to manipulate that beast into the shape it is in.

    What do you always have with you?

    What do you guys always carry with you in your trucks? I have a very dismal list that includes jumpers, bungies, ratchet straps, bottle of oil, flashlight, flares, a flat tire kit and a mini air compressor. I plan to do some major mods this summer and do A LOT more wheeling...what else should I have?

    I have not even been carrying a spare tire everyday , maybe it is a good idea to think about what to carry. Thanks. :goodpost:http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=27734
