Why does my VQ burn mass amounts of oil!?!?!
Biggest disapointment ever!
-
generally winter tires are made out of a soft rubber compound actually.

Hi guys..
yet another problem, separate from the rolling resistance one. I think a U-Joint might be failing. The truck has 170000kms on it, I get a vibration, not through my wheel but through my seat, only under power, while accelerating in between 60-90 kms/hr.
I cant imagine it being the wheels being unbalanced, because i dont feel it in the steering wheel and i recently got them balanced.
Has anyone experienced a failing U-joint, like a gradually wearing U-joint? What are some symptoms? obviously im not driving around with a drive shaft dragging but i feel like it needs to be replaced, just from where the vibration is coming from and the fact that it happens under power only.
-
this gives me hope, and yes i can handle that.

Alright guys, this is becoming a problem
Even in RWD i can feel progressively more resistance than what is normal, also my left front wheel squeaks occasionaly with each rotation. There is something in the driveline that is causing this. For some reason im leaning twords a wheel bearings being shot, but im not a 100% sure.
What are your thoughts, it is now winter i dont have an indoor area to work on the path, so im most likely going to take it to a shop.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,

Why doesn't nissan acknowledge the most important problem with theses platforms which is, the excessive oil consumption issue VQ35's have been plagued with. If your one of the lucky ones, I am envious. If not, I feel your pain. I cant believe this problem has not been acknowledged by nissan... Its the first thread on google if you search "excessive oil consumption"
-
yup, Zero leaks anywhere. I dont know whats up, just doesnt feel right sometimes..
-
Okay thats good to know, however it hasnt only happened on concrete, it has happend on mud and loose rock aswell. Also shouldnt the diffs take care of the wheels wanting to spin different speeds?

Hi guys,
Hoping you can help me figure this out. Any time i put my truck in 4wd and turn my wheel to lock either in reverse or forward gear and try to move. The truck resists. It feels like there's mad resistance somewhere. I just am not too familiar with all the parts in a 4wd system. Is this maybe like warn out hubs or something like that ? :S. I have a 02 Chilkoot, 5sp, manual transfer case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated i want to solve this soon!
Cheers,

yo will likely regret it once you see all the cancer underneath them.

Anybody know a good source to get mile marker locking hubs for my R50, located in canada!!

I love my R50
been really impressed, other than the insane oil consumption retardation courtesy of Nissan Motor Co. -
already on this one, expect a lot of praise for each truck by their respected owners. I'll start with a simple one: wd21-full frame/r50-unibody (hence the term "caR50")
Bake 'er from there toys!
im interested to hear

Im interested to hear pro's and con's. Which has better capability on and off road. which is a better base?

Check the link of the thread there's a bunch more pics in it.

It's a stock bumper it's all stock body(except hood) and a built motor, just cut out some space for the front mount, piping and oil cooler. I like when tire pokes out, that let's you know it's stanced out wide, I'm just running stock rims still, you just wait till I throw on the 18x10 and 18x12.5's which are in my thread

I was wondering how I can shine it up, there's a
Little bit
Of
Inconsistency between the original paint and clear, and the paint and clear I just applied.

well decided to say fskc it and just try spraying a patch with the paint i got made up. Turned out not too bad, so may not put on the flares after all, however i dont like how i lost 70$ buying the flares...
Not perfect but it'll do!
Feedback is welcome
-
Ps the body work I did is 100% smooth sanded to 800, just sketched to paint the whole body panel when the majority of the paint on it is still good. The KY0 color this pathfinder is is next to impossible to get and there are seven variations of KY0. So I don't want to risk it looking ******. Also I don't want to just spray like a patch, that would be to noticeable and I wouldnt be happy with it.
-
The reason I'm putting the flares on is to cover this up
Which used to look like this
And hopefully sell the vehicle soon.
