Hey guys, I've had the intermittent poor idle/stalling issue for years, and have narrowed it down the infamous MAF sensor harness ground. I know this effects quite a few people, and many have simply wired in a new ground. While I am a proficient soldierer(?) and am quite happy running wires, I decided to order the official NIssan fix for the issue as specified in the TSB. Alkorahil got me the part number : 24079-40F00 ENGINE SUB HARNESS $20.39 What you get is this. Its basically an inline adapter with a ground wire coming out of it. HOWEVER - it is OEM quality wiring and I like that. (insert bad ground joke here...) You simply disconnect the MAF from your harness, and install this sucker in line. I simply grounded it to an available open bolt. Seems to be working well! Sorry no pictures installed - broken camera. The one thing it does seem to be missing is an mount of some kind. the end of the harness looks to be setup to held by something - it just kind of dangles by the airbox.

Yeah mine have been torn for years. Haven't failed on me yet....knock on wood. As soon as I put new CV shafts in, they tear again. I need to drop my diff. This last set tore on both sides RIGHT where it was clamped to the shaft, so the actual boot is basically intact - the grease really can't go anywhere (except out along the shaft...not happening when its spinning!!!) Anyway, if your stock you should probably replace them at some point and they will last...

Dudes, I have been fighting torn rear suspension bushings for like 4 years in my pathfinder, and the rear just always rode rough. Its got a 3inch AC lift on it. Extended Springs, and Extended shocks, and that's about it. Sway bar is currently ON - though I had it off for ~30,000 miles. And then I bought this: https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/panhard-rod-drop-down-bracket-p-6763.html My camera is broken so I stole some pictures from the 4x4parts website: This is a panhard drop. it bolts to the frame of your truck, and lowers the end of the panhard (where it bolts to said frame) to make it level again. My Panhard went from quite an angle to basically perfectly level. I've had this lift on this truck for the last 80,000 miles and noticed an immediate HUGE difference when I put this on. The rear no longer jolts to the side when going over a bump on road, or expansion seams on the highway... it reduces head toss, and makes it far more comfortable to drive over rough surfaces - far more planted I also don't notice nearly the axle movement with relation to my torn rear bushings. I can now manipulate throttle and feel the rear shift slightly (so I know they are torn) but no more clunking!!!! Anyway, I am super impressed and would recommend if you've lifted the rear and NOT dropped the panhard to be level to buy one these. you'll be amazed. My panhard is now level, as it was from the factory. DANG i wish my camera worked!! I know GrandpaX also made these, but I do believe he no longer does (nor does he frequent this site) - so I think AC is the only game in town at the point. BUY IT!

Not anymore. I moved to Denver. But there is a HUGE Phoenix Nissan following. Check out Nissanoffroad.net. They all hang there.

Theres always BFG AT. Love em

Look at this way: My Pathfinder that runs 31 inch tires from the factory runs 4.6 gears from the factory. bigger the tire, the larger (numerically) the ratio needs to be. My pathfinder is now on 33's, and really needs at least 4.9s if not 5.13s. Its currently a DOG running 4.6's. You can run the h233b for quite awhile, its a good solid axle, but parts are expensive. you would want to change your D44 ratios (cheaper to do) before you changed the h233b. Even if you did this, running 33's your going to notice a big difference in performance running the stock (I'm assuming 4.6 if you an auto) ratios. 3.55 gear ratios are going to be terrible - no way in heck the thing is even going to move. The lightest pathfinders (2door manual trans) still ran 4.3's factory.

The CAI on my Frontier got "saturated" during a water crossing- no water ingestion into the motor AFAIK but it ran rough for a couple minutes until the filter dried out and it could get air. I removed my CAI and went back to the stock air box on the pathfinder as well...

Mine is angled enough at full drop to rip the boots closest to the diff. EVERY TIME. lol. WD21 tho.

*Tight* He says. I spent like 20 minutes cranking on it with a huge set of channel locks...

Yeah it was the guys at our local car wash in AZ....screaming deal - but they always have a glass guy there and he is a wheeler and dealer.

yeah I got mine for $160 installed, non OEM, but good quality and no paneing(cheap glass does this). No Antenna but mine wasnt hooked up anyway. Though I wish now that it was...

I must admit i haven't blown a CV yet with 33's and a VG30. your running a R180 not a R200 right? I wonder if the half shafts are smaller (I would assume so).... Fortunately I just picked up a front ARB to rectify the situation....

and kept the stock WD21 computer!

More than likely it has to the do with the body design and how salt/water is thrown up or redirected to certain parts of the truck. Floor pan is different from WD21 and D21, as is rear wheel arch design...I did see a D21 4 cyl 4x4 here that had an amazing amount of rust in the JY, scored my trans shifter off of it

Corporate Trend Micro - Chrome or IE. Wont let me proceed. "Known Malicious site"

Whats the Power light say on startup? Any codes?

I use these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V57NUQ/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They seem to hold on juuuuuuust fine Even offroad. Rubber foam is a bit cheap, but it holds well.

LOL! Ever driven a pathfinder with 33's up a 7% grade? 3500RPM doesnt cut it....

Ok - i am ordering the MAF Sensor fix anyway, I'll have them throw one in.

it does leak a bit after I work it - AKA climb Eisenhower pass(11,000 foot pass) - basically 60MPH at 5500RPM for a looong time.... I will get a bit of a oil burning smell and some oil on the ground, but day to day, no it doesn't leak. I have seepage of course.. I have not noticed any smoke on Start up (tho I havent looked either) which does kill the whole Valve guides idea doesn't it. HMMM.

This is most glorious. The video is great!

Hey guys, I've noticed Oil consumption has gone up dramatically in the last several months. I've been working the Pathy hard, carrying the Kayaks, offroading, going up Eisenhower tunnel alot - but we're talking from half a quart every 5,000 to a quart probably every 2000. I'm running Mobil 1 10 30w, though I just threw a quart of 10-40 in there to see if helped. I'm thinking PCV, or I shot the valve seals running it hot one day after a coolant hose blew (never hit the top line below H but got close)...any thoughts? Hows the PCV valve to replace? Truck runs fine otherwise. Mike

DOH! Im in Denver and the Goodies are awesome, just for the wrong truck

5.3 is a ls series..uses Coilover. But yes a Small block will fit.

'94 update - 215,000. Starting to burn oil now when I keep the revs up...aka always.
