Real impressed with the job man
Mine is 2wd and I may have to pull the tranny soon, is there much work to it?? Specialty tools? Never pulled a RWD trans before

PPG has stores in Canada?
Napa had some off brand high build primer I seen the other day, but it was $13 a can, quite spendy

mind you Im talking about the 01+, Ive never taken a close look at the older one but there are quite ugly. The one piece headlights / foglights are WAAAAAY sexy. Mind you mine are both modified

I know you guys like your pathfinders, but to say there BETTER? I personally love the front and rear of my truck, the facelift was well done and looks sharp even compared to todays cars. And the factory HIDS definetely dont hurt.
But its definetely an R50 underneath just with some added luxuries

Looking more for an aersol product as most of my projects are small/medium and dont require a spray gun setup
Was just hoping there was a better brand than canadian tire, and possibly an adhesion promoter aswell in aerosol

nobody paints?

I can pull my headliner out in less than an hour....
But Ive had it out 10+ times for sound deadning and various coverrings Ive put on it
Like everyone else said, it bends easy as hell, and you need atleast one set of extra hands during removal.
Its not to hard to remove all the pillar trim plastics, rubber mouldings, visors and map light and "oh @!*%" handles (which I deleted)
An option for you depending how bad of condition your headliner is in, simply cut out or grind away the mould/weather areas of the headliner, and do a layer or two of fiberglass to repair the area. Then pick the material of your choice to put on the headliner (suede is fairly cheap)
Like others have said, buying a headliner isnt cheap, and shipping it would be near impossible, so unless you can find one local I would try and work with the one you have got.

Id love a tranny that would bolt up to the Vq35, mines 2wd to make it even easier. But I doubt there is such a mythical transmission out there

You didnt take a pic of what came out??

solid advice!!

Junkyard, best and easiest way to get all the parts. Probably cheaper than shipping those huge boxes across the country to

Ive had Acura RSX seats in mine, I had 2011 Acura MDX seats for a while until I broke them. I now have "stock" seats with modified backs (just with more foam on the bolsters)
So yes, you can easily fit seats in our cars. We have a very simple bolt system/pattern and if you can measure/weld/drill holes youll be fine
We have plenty of width for a standard racing/offroad seat aswell. And you can find those quite cheap on Ebay nowadays

i may try por-15 just to try it

Short and sweet. Im sick of paying $10 a can at crappy tire for there horrible to sand, forever to dry high build primer. What stores sell some good stuff, or can order it for me. That you guys have had success with.
Im in the process of doing some bodywork and need some high build primer that will stick to plastic, body filler, scuffed paint etc. Hoping for a very good hiding primer, that builds and fills. Are there any good options in canada? Preferably aerosol for the little projects that I mainy stick to.
Im also going to be re bedlining my front and rear bumpers, most likely with aerosol textured bedliner, and was thinking an adhesion promoter would be a good idea. Ive never seen it for sale though, anyone ever seen it?
And to top it off, I need this stuff in canada if you didnt catch that.
Point me in the right direction please

Best place to draw power from? Obviously the battery. I use a simple auto on/off kit that I bought off ebay for like $25, its just a rad fin probe and a few wires to a heavy duty relay (dual fans can pull 25+ amps). Turns on @ 190 turns off at 180 I think. They even sell adjustable ones for a bit more money
I wouldnt say I noticed a fuel mileage gain since I dont really pay attention to mileage with how little I drive, but the few extra ponies you may free up, and all the space in the engine bay you gain but ridding of the shroud and fan that can take your hand off, is more than worth my hundred dollars.

Polys not lasting long?? Poly bushings last FOREVER, Ive only had the polys in my Qx4 for 2 years, but they still appear and feel new. But Ive had poly bushings in my other cars for 10+ years and they dont show signs of fatigue or breakdown at all.
A $70 replacement control arm?... I dont know if I would trust that compared to the well built oem
Putting poly bushings on the oem arm is EASY

I ordered the split trailing arm bushings and will try to do those myself since you don't need a 35 ton press. Luckily my friend just opened up a shop and I can use his lift. I also ordered the pan hard rod bushings.
I want the panhard rod bushings. I dont knwo why or how I havent orderred them yet. Probably the eqasiest of the rear end bushings to

Not all balljoints are detachable though. My factory ones were detachable YES
But I bought aftermarket ball joints off ebay from korea or whatever, and the ball joint and 3 studs were all one riveted part. It didnt have the seperate full metal plate with the 3 pressed studs in it like my OEM and now my Backarnleys balljoints do.
I think breaking a balljoint apart and doing that instead of removing the 3 nuts is much easier to drop the LCA though

I want poly sway bar end links, tell me if you source em please!!

Why would someone shoot there own vehicle??

I thought my car tucked alot of wheel.....
Looks great man

I've taken a couple of pathy gas tanks out and in both cases there was no "crap" in the bottom of the tank. I'm starting to think it is one of those automotive myths.
Ive pulled more than one honda tank and see ALOT of sediment looking sludge/rust in there
A fairly new mercedes sedan had alot of white particles floating around to. I dont think tanks are clean at all
Need a change for rear coils.

Cutting the springs will definetely increase the spring rate and firmer ride, but it isnt always a bad thing, or even very drastic depeneding how much you cut off
Ive cut plenty of coils on plenty of cars, including most of my own to get wheel gaps almost perfect, im pretty picky on that
Its when you HEAT the coils to lower it that the ride quality goes out the window and your driving down the road feeling like your ass is on a trampoline
