a 3" suspension lift front 4x4Parts is ridiculously cheap IMO and I suggest that route. Or buying Ford springs for the rear off of rock auto parts and cranking the front.

Doctor Splice n Dice is in town.

Brought the 95 home last night. Truck looks good. Definitely parts rig however. Frame is amazing.

So it's looking like I would have to either convert to round dash OR play Doctor Splice n' Dice. I'm going today to pick up the parts rig. From photo's it actually looks incredibly clean so I'm going to have to assess the situation when I get there. Part of me hopes the frame is shot and the photo's are deceiving so I don't feel bad tearing it up. The other part hopes its as clean as I imagine and then I'll end up with 3 Nissans and no parts rig. Which doesn't quite help my situation at all.

It doesnt take much time for me, they are usually out in the driveway and i just pull in, place em, pull up and change my oil, total process is probably about 10-15 minutes if I don't dilly dally on other things.

My Xterra on 33's is far enough off the ground I could change my oil with very little crawling effort and work under the truck with ample room. I still drive all 4 corners onto ramps before changing my oil or starting any work that doesnt need the truck on jackstands.

Lambo Doors for the win

See my issue is I want the square dash + the heated mirrors + the new tail and headlight wiring + New hatch wiring since the my rear glass will randomly pop open when I lock/unlock the doors. Just wondering if I should even bother trying to swap the entire harness or should I play splice and dice.

IAB install. **edit : AND FILLED GAS! WHOO HOO!!**

Sorry to revive the dead but is there anyone who makes a long travel REAR suspension kit? I'm going 2wd long travel rear but I can't seem to find any kits anywhere. Was hoping it would be out there before forcing me to go custom. If I need to go custom I might aswell save myself the trouble and drop a hardbody rear end on it so I can use leaf springs.

Hard to find the information I'm looking for on the forums. Hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Pulling a harness from a 95'. Has anyone done a harness swap with ECU and put it in a square dash? Issues? Tips and Tricks? Might just pull the harness and start splicing and make my own franken harness since my headlight wiring is shot thanks to the PO's splice and dice for HID's and my tail light wiring is also just as bad. I'd like to also add in a plug for the heated mirrors. Splicing it all together doesn't scare me at all, but would it be easier to splice the square dash into the 95 harness and upgrade the TBI into MPFI from the 95? Also, the 95' is an Auto and my 89 is a 5-Speed. Would that be an issue? I would think not but I'd like to get some experienced heads in on this. Another question I had was, would the 89 body fit on the 95' frame? Or are the body mounts and what not that different? I've also read up on the 2wd swap but I still don't quite understand what it is that I need for my year of truck. Would it be smarter to do the swap for the 95' front end suspension and steering and use my 89 steering box to replace my idler arm? Or vice-versa? Loads of questions.

WHOA DUDE! I mean my 95 used to shift pretty high on power mode but I doubt I got much past 5k rpms. Just keep power mode off and when you need it just double tap the gas and it turns on temporarily.

That's pretty sweet dude. :]

Do NOT call me. I know nothing. XD

My X has those ugly ass things. No mirrors. :C I'm going to watch this thread.

Is an 88 equipped with the ability to shift on the fly?

I'm hoping you find a good aftermarket 23lbs Flywheel replacement. I just want to know where to go when it comes time to change it.

I shall PM you the story I just sent Phantom01

I know Kyle has one on his blue 88. (the brush guard for the winch that is)

I have an 00' Xterra so I guess I am allowed to take part in this thread now. As far as most first year models go, they usually tend to have a group of problems that come with them. My X has 160,xxx miles on it currently and she runs amazing. The power difference is noticible when going from a WD21 to a WD22. They are pretty well set up for longs trips and what not. By this I mean, the interior is set up pretty well for placing things in pockets and holders within easy reach. The one problem I have always had is that the back seats don't fold down like the pathfinder. You need to remove the entire seat cushion then fold the seats flat. (kind of a pain in the ass wen trying to find space for the cushions after) The only problem that needs addressing currently is my fan clutch? Or so my dad's friend says. The fan wont turn on while she is hot and it is causing her to overheat when you shut the engine immediately after driving and don't turn off the ac also when using the ac in local traffic. Other than that, you will be changing to Drum brakes in the back (They have been working just has good as the pathfinder) and alot more plastic on the exterior. The only problem I personally had with my drum brakes were a piston in the brake blew. My dad and I had to change the piston and then bleed the brakes. I have seen some guys throw a WD21 rear axle on their X's to give them disk brakes. You will also be introduced to the not so fun world of leave springs. I personally don't like leaf springs. I like my coil springs like on the Pathfinder. For a normal DD they do not hinder any abilities you would need on the road anyways so it shouldn't be an issue. The steering with these vehicles, I'm not sure if they fixed it over the years, is extremely stiff compared to my WD21 steering which I can turn with my finger. So be wary of that. Other than that the WD22's are pretty great. They heat up much much faster than my WD21 in the cold. My X has more power to play with (still not enough, thinking about going supercharged). They get pretty okay mileage. About the same as my WD21 which gets 17 mpg, 20 if my dad drives apparently. I doubt I ever got more than 17mpg's out of my X but I love her.
