Who else has watched this show? It's new and I saw it last night and it's sad to say I can't get that hour of my life back! In case if you don't have any idea what I'm rambling about, it's a car building competition (kind of monster garage style build without the monster part), 72 hours 2 teams with identical cars to start with then they build them into something "cool." The whole show only focused on the paint job and what engine they put in. These people rebuilt the whole car inside and out without more than 2 minutes of mention on the interior, suspension, any components. So figured I'd save anyone from watching this, not worth wasting your time! If anyone disagrees with me, well you you're wrong and I'm right.

My OME lift gave a rear rake appearance. I'm considering spacers to level it out. BTW, I have stock bumpers so there is no extra weight anywhere on my PF.

I just did mine, Take the nut off the top, turn on the radio, once the antenna raises just pull it out, then thread the new mast down the hole, shut off the radio and it will suck itself down. Now that its on tighten the nut back down and you're good to go. And if it doesn't come out or breaks you have to take your fender liner off to access the antenna motor where you can take the side of that off to remove any broken pieces from in there. I was able to access the motor by just cranking the wheel towards the drivers side and that gave enough clearance to get to it without having to take the wheel off.

Bought mine 5spd from my parents. When they got it new, the dealer was all but giving it away. It was loaded and when it was all through they paid less for it than the auto base model that was next to it on the lot. I just wish it had the 3.5!

I recently did mine and the socket definitely makes life easier. Of course I could not find the one I bought years ago and went to the parts store thinking they've have one. Not so much but there's one for GM's that works, it has 4 prongs though so I just took off 2 with a grinder.

Mine did and from what I can tell everyone did. I've noticed a lot of R50 people have swapped to manual which I was going to do when I did my brakes but ended up having to do the brakes sooner than expected.

Thanks guys, I'm an idiot. I even knew it was there. Everything was seized on everywhere. So I'm still not done swapping all this crap out...

I got a 98 pathfinder with the auto hubs, 160k miles and I doubt they have ever been taken off or the brakes have ever been done. Long story short, brake pads wore down to the caliper on the inside (damn thing not having the warning strip) and now I'm in the process of trying to fix it. I'm new to the weird caliper setup these things have and hubs. I took the 6 bolts off of the hub and can get it to wiggle but it won't come off. Is there a trick to this or a pin or something I'm not seeing? Ive' gone through the other write ups on how to do it and it seems so simple. Let me know if there is a trick or if I just need a bigger hammer...

That worked for me, just got a new (to me) key fob. It took a few times of key dancing but it worked like a charm!
