Too late, I already went out and got some and poured 2 ounces in me tank. I saw this thread on NOR and read up on it. Acetone is supposed to lower the surface tension of the gasoline, thereby allowing it to atomize/vaporize more easily and combust more completely. They recommend 2 ounces per 10 gallons of gas. Apparently it's been used by several people for years and they've had no ill effects on the fuel system or engine. Mine runs just fine still as well. Acetone burns very clean, has a high octane rating and with the small recommended amount being used in this way, any effects on your vehicle are very slight. By the way, a 16-ounce bottle of 100% pure acetone in the Beauty section (nail polish remover) of the local supermarket cost me $2.99, and it has enough acetone for four tanks worth of gas. I think the cost-to-improvement ratio will more than pay for the additive as long as I get more than 1-2 MPG out of it. It'll be cheaper per tank if you buy a gallon can at a home improvement store, probably. Anybody care to do the math for us? I'll let you all know how it goes.

Mine started doing the same thing. The problem is the brushes inside the starter, most likely. I rebuilt mine for like $3 (brushes kit) and it's still going strong.

What the hell are you doing that requires pics of all ten body mounts? That's how they ALL go with the exception of the rearmost mounts, they just have a big washer that goes on the bolt before the mounts do.

It should look like this:

No. Go back up and read what I posted again, sheesh.

Nissan does.

I'd like to formally ask Pezzy to be our lawfully wedded flyer designer. If there are any objections, speak now, or forever hold your peace. *looks around with a sharp glare*

The ignition switch may have gone out on you. Try wiggling the key in the keyhole, maybe?

Ok, to get back on track, if we want to be really fair about it, We'll need a WD21 2-door, a WD21 4-door, an R50 from 96-99, and an R50 from there up. Heh. Or, we could just use mine and get it all over with. We all know I have the most photogenic Pathy in all the land.

*gets out the paddles* CHARGING!!!! *applies paddles to thread* CLEAR!!!! *BZZZZT* *bip* *bip* *bip*

Oh hey! I forgot. *busily goes up to edit*

Awww, man that sucks! I'm sorry. Maybe think Chevy Colorado 4WD with the 5-cylinder? Better on gas than the V6, I think. You gotta take gas mileage into consideration with these prices.

Allrighty then. I must have read that wrong. My apologies, mknabb.

Are you seriously telling me that you tore apart your Pathfinder to put a lift on, threw away all the stock bolts because you didn't think you'd need them, and now you can't put it back together because you can't find new bolts? You gotta be kidding me.

It may have helped, if the opposite tire wasn't completely stuck solid and had somewhere to start spinning when the brakes were applied. OK. This is the Great Pathfinder H233B Rear Locker/LSD Rundown: (the H233B is the Nissan rear axle used in all of our Pathfinders, up till'02 or so.) LSD: Stock limited slip differential. Allows rear wheels to rotate at different speeds around corners until enough torque is applied by the drivetrain to make the clutch pack lock together, or until the vehicle moves out of the turn and back into a straight line. Can be rebuilt with a few extra clutch plates to make the LSD much tighter and work more like a locker. Powertrax Lock-Right(Richmond Gear): Replaces an open differential's spider gears with a pair of thrust plates that lock into the face of the side gears when torque is applied through the drivetrain. As long as sufficient torque is being applied by the drivetrain, the Lock-Right will stay locked, whether the tires are in the air or not. Only when you let off the gas and the differential "relaxes" into a coasting pattern does the cross-shaft inside the thrust plates allow the plates to uncouple from the side gears, thereby allowing both rear tires to spin at different rates around a corner, provided you don't give it too much gas. A Lock-Right is what we call an "automatic" locker. Only fits an open, non-LSD H233B differential with 31-spline axles from 1987-1997(I think). Does NOT fit an axle equipped with a stock LSD. Visit www.powertrax.com for more info. Detroit No-Spin Locker(Tractech, Inc): As far as I know, these have been discontinued and the only Detroit lockers for Nissans you can find anymore are used or pretty rusty from sitting in the box, heh. Tractech.com has more info on those. ARB Air Locker: A replacement differential case is installed inside the stock diff, air lines routed out of the diff housing and a compressor set up to provide the air to the locker on demand. When the compressor is turned on and the locker is locked, it is fully locked 100% all of the time and will not differentiate around corners. When it is turned off, it is 100% open and if you give it enough gas it will spin one tire with ease. An ARB air locker is what is known as a "selectable" locker. This locker fits all H233B axles from 1987-2004, both LSD and open. Professional installation required (or at least reccommended) because you have to set up the gears after installation. A noteworthy item is that the locker does NOT include the air compressor. It's separate and costs another $250 or so. Visit ARB.com for more info. Lincoln Locker(welded differential): Lincoln locker is a reference to the Lincoln welder, which is apparently commonly used to weld diffs by gearheads. The differential is removed and the side gears are welded to each other and the carrier housing where possible, then the whole thing is put back together. The axles are locked together permanently from that point on, whether you need them to be or not. The rear tires will always spin at the same rates, and accelerated tire wear is a semi-noticeable problem. This type of "locker" cannot be removed, obviously. This is what we call a "spooled" or "fully locked" locker. Any differential can be welded, provided you have a big enough welder and the knowledge how. A welded diff generally makes the vehicle drive differently, also. That's about it. Until someone else offers a locker that becomes available, those are your choices.

Those $22 plugs should come with some of this...

I sample a little of everything, mostly from NW Cable News on TV, a conglomeration of all different NW-situated news channel teams.

New changes: Fixed email settings so everybody that subscribes to certain threads will get notification of replies. Edited a few user accounts, but not in a bad way. Changed smiley field window settings to +1 from original settings. Re-counted all statistics for post counts and topic replies. Added the Garage: How To forum. Added the Garage: Tech Section. Precise1 moved all pertinent topics from Tech Section into the How-To section. Thank you for your support.

...and this is why I dislike political discussion on internet forums. It typically leads to flaming, finger-pointing and a lot of shouting that's totally unnecessary. That's enough.

Casey, count the coils for me. Do they have eight, or nine full coils as far as you can tell?

Why do you have to "change out" the rear end? What happened to it?

I fixed your misspellings, MM. Jeez, type slower or proofread your shxt or something. Slob! By the way, I've just met you, Ryan. You were my first, do you feel all special now? You should. *roflmao*

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/xterra/tech/LSD/ This is Brent's page on how he rebuilt his XTerra's LSD, adding additional clutch plates to tighten it up so the LSD works better. Complete with pictures. The X rear LSD is almost exactly the same as the Pathfinder LSD. Here are a few other good-to-know facts: Part numbers: 38443-C6004 is the 1.4 mm thick disc 38443-C6002 is the 1.5 mm thick disc 38443-C6003 is the 1.6 mm thick disc The ESM notes the following: Always position a friction plate first on rear of side gear.

I'll repost the post from NOR, then. Watch for it at the top of the Garage How-To section!

The rubber main intake tube with the PCV hose holes and all that goes from from the airbox to the end of the upper intake? I've got two of them. Want one?
