  1. Well, It started out as a completely stock 1991 Nissan Skyline GTS-T sedan. Came with a mint Rb20DET, Lasted me for a while until I threw a rod through the side of the block on a very hot day at a local track pushing the little inline 6 to do 3rd gear drifts on a road course. From there I got my hands on a RB25DET and swapped that in. Since that original RB25 swap, I've rebuilt the motor completely 3 times and pulled the engine and tranny 15-20 times. Now ive got a spare rb25 on the side, and a set of weisco pistons and eagle rods that used to be in the motor, which blew due to incorrectly clearanced bearings. My current build consists of: Bottom: -Decked, honed and acid dipped block -Micropolished, balanced and blueprinted crank -ACL Main bearings -ACL Rod Bearings -ARP Main Studs -ARP Rod Studs -Stock Rods -Stock Pistons -New rings -Tomei 1.7 Metal Headgasket -Ross Power Bond Harmonic Balancer -Nissan Gasket Kit -All Lines Replaced -A/C Delete -New Alternator -New Starter Top End: -Acid Dipped, Planed and pressure tested head -3 Angle Valve job -Kelford 270 degree cams -Ebay adjustable cam gears -Restored lifters -Splitfire Coilpacks -Copper Spark Plugs, Cold heat range -ARP Head Studs -ARP Exhaust manifold studs -Greddy Timing belt -Nissan Gasket Kit Breathing: -HKS GT2535r (now blown) -Comp Turbo CT4 5562 billet (ready to be installed) -Greddy Intake Manifold -Q45 (90mm) throttle body -Z32 Mass Airflow meter -Blitz Intake -Greddy MSpec Intercooler -All Aluminum piping -HKS SSQV (purple insert) Lubrication: -N1 Oil Pump -Bored Oil galleries -Tomei Oil restrictors -Royal Purple 20w-50 Exhaust: -3 inch Custom straight pipe from the turbo back -5 inch outlet (fireballs) -Stock Exhaust manifold Fuel: -Twin walbro 255lph (removing) -Aeromotive A-1000 Stealth in-tank (replacing the walbros) -Deatcshwerks 740cc injectors -Z32 fuel filter -New Lines Cooling: -FRP Vented open grill hood -Dual Flexalite 12inch rad fans -Koyo Aluminum Rad -N1 Water Pump -Oil Cooler, with filter relocation -Nismo Thermostat Drivetrain: -RPS Max Street Clutch -Fidanza Lightweight flywheel -Redline, Heavy Duty Gear oil Handling: -Stance Gr+ Pro Coilovers -Megan Rear adjustable control arms (ready to install, to flaten out rear camber) -Full Hicas Delete -Nismo Strut Bar -GTR wheels -Kumho Ecsta SPT Tires -Ebrake Spring delete (drift Button) -Hawk HP Performance Pads -Mild Weight Reduction -Odyssey Trunk mounted battery Engine Managment: -Apex'i Power FC -Apexi'i Boost controller Interior: -Innovate Wideband -STRi Boost Gauge -STRi Volt Meter -STRi Oil Pressure -Willans 4 point Harness Audio: -DVD/Bluetooth Deck -Alpine Speakers front and back -Compustar Remote Start and Security

  12. I had to make my own parking spot at the train station today, or else I'd have been late. Pathfinder, for when there are no parking spots left.
  13. Ive worked in 4 kitchens since i started working at 12 years old until about 16. I had a job at a nissan dealership as a lot attendant for 1-1/2 years also worked at the marina at Waskesiu Lake for a few summers. Then 17-21 was a @!*% mix of warehouse jobs, forklift operator, land scape laborer, and canadian tire a few times. I started my own rubbish disposal company that was succesfull for a year, then i went back to school. 21 i worked as an Accounts Receivable and Credit team associate for an Oil and Gas Service company. @22, Now I work at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a junior accountant, starting my CA designation with them. I have one semester left of my Bachelors in Managment. Then freedom! but not really...
  14. wrong link. *ADMIN PLEASE REMOVE THIS THREAD.
  15. Hi guys, So i'll start by saying, when i first got my pathfinder i felt this mild clunk in the drivetrain when releasing the clutch, just as the vehicle starts to move. I always thought it was normal play within the u joints or in the drivetrain somewhere. Today i had a friend drive my path so i could look at it . I noticed the rear wheel do a little Shimmy when it starts and stops from a light. I thought it was odd, so we checked it out in a parking lot. I look under the car and ask him to pull forward, and as he does that, the whole rear axle pivots forward a bit as in the bottom of the diff housing moves about 3 inches. Immediatly I had the thought of "Ohhh so thats what that clunk has been and maybe thats contributing to my wobble over bumps(al the old bushings are too probably). My next thought was "fskc, i need to fix this asap" it looks like my axle could rip out, theres alot of play. Like this video---> @15 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a8wfF9hba8 I'm relatively new to the whole solid axle thing still. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and what the solution was. Any help would be great! Thanks
  16. Im not entirely sure i havent been fully under the truck yet. a bunch of snow just melted so its like a slush and mud bowl out here. Ill go under in a day or two once it all freezes. But yeah that video... haha

  18. First of all, I'd like to say that i am stoked to find out you are in Calgary. I am too. The pathfinder is so small and to find people in the same area that actually like to use there r50's is really rare. Secondly, I love to go wheeling and would love to come out with you guys. Thirdly, I'm stoked... did i say that already?
  19. I'd be very cautious with that tow. Ive towed a 5000 lbs boat and trailer combo with it as well as my project car on a trailer. The lack of braking ability is scary and really not safe IMO. I'd be lookin for a tow vehicle, especially of racing is something you want to keep doing frequently. Have fun!
  20. I'll run through the tests when I'm Back in Canadia eh
