Actually, you can run 33's with a 3" body lift if you trim the crap out of the fenders, but not on a suspension lift. I ran 33x10.50's with cranked t-bars and only a 3" BL for quite some time. Lots of Pathfinders came with 31's stock. Check your glove box sticker, the door tag or the owner's manual.

It's kinda tough to put a SS on rack-and-pinion steering.

Wiring is as generic as it can get. You don't need a vehicle-specific diagram unless you're completely clueless, in which case you might want to ask a friend or mechanic for help anyway. Use a test light or voltmeter and the rest is damn near child's play...

Hey Dan, the RS9000 is 5-way adjustable. Always has been.

Sounds like the starter brushes are worn and it needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

There is no data port on a 93, no. You have to use the procedure listed at the beginning of this thread to check your error codes.

You can get one for a VG30E, but not for a VG30i, AFAIK. If you have an 87, you have the VG30i.

I wasn't aware they made separate sets for manual or auto. Last I remember they only made one kind. *shrug*

Exactly. If the cap is only getting juice every time it sparks and none otherwise, how is it supposed to be building up a charge between firings?

Take your time, no worries.

If your timing is adjusted properly and everything else is in working order, 87 octane should be fine in it. Using higher octane gas is neither "better for the engine" or easier on your wallet. If the knock sensor is shorted completely and giving the ECU the signal that it's constantly under heavy knock, it would retard timing for you and not ping anyway. Try unplugging the knock sensor wiring? The proper term for the "loop mode" thing is either "open-loop mode" or "closed-loop mode". In open loop mode, the ECU relies on a pre-set map of values for the engine to run on. Very baseline, not adapted for fuel economy or power. It will simply keep the engine running and not change the preset values according to any sensors. The engine runs in open-loop mode at idle, at full throttle, and at several other pre-determined points, depending on the input it recieves from all the sensors. Closed loop mode is where the pre-set map is not used and the ECU instead relies on input from many sensors on the engine to tell it where the crank/cams are, where the ignition timing is/should be, how much throttle is being given, how much fuel is needed and how fast the engine AND drivetrain are moving. As you can see, it is a necessity for all the appropriate sensors to be completely functional for the engine to run right all the time with 100% efficiency. Troubleshooting is the hard part...

Sakana: your transmission control unit is flashing an error code, most likely the revolution sensor on the transmission. That's what runs your speedo.

You can always use a test light to find positive and ground, then just run new speaker wires. It's easy as hell.

Do the BL first, you'll have a TON more room to work with. It'll be a good thing.

What year and engine? A knock sensor error code won't cause the ECU to run in open-loop mode.

Sometimes if you overrev it (meaning, excessive wheelspin without any real forward motion) it'll go into fail-safe mode and stick in 2nd gear. All it takes is shutting 'er off and re-starting to get it out of that mode.

The exhaust leak at the y-pipe is not common, no. Fix the exhaust leak first, then you'll probably have to replace one or two O2 sensors. The O2 sensors going out on you will result in very poor mileage.

I weighed a VG30 with no intake, the flexplate and TC still attached, etc today. Just over 320 lbs.

Damn....that's messed up. I'm sorry.

Tried rotating the tires front to back? That doesn't usually just happen overnight for no reason.

Yep, remove the UCA's, drill a hole, tap the hole with the appropriate size tap, screw in grease zerks. Grease, drive, be happy with no more squeaks.

Nah, this is the Nissan Pathfinder OFFROAD Association. We're here to offroad and talk about it. Not pound curbs and wheel on grocery store parking lots. I don't care who wheels or not, but that's our theme.

The slideshow would be a whole lot cooler if it had less avatars and misc. people pics in the source folder.

Terrano II's are NOT Pathfinders.
