    What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

    Posted · Edited by 4doordrift

    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.

    Clutch Upgrade

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted · Edited by 4doordrift

    Has anyone out there upgraded their clutch on the vq? Mine's on it's way out and I want to put something on there that can handle a bit more abuse yet still be comfortable on the street. Any suggestions?

    What do you do for work.?

    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... :/

    Rear Axle Security (proper link)

    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 :wub: . 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

    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.
