ISO is an "image" file. It is a one file representation of a dvd or cd discs contents. It is an exact replica of an original hard copy. To mount an ISO you want to run daemon tools (free software) or equivalent which will generate a false software version of a disc drive that will appear internally in your "Computer" folder in Windows. This allows your computer to think you just put the actual cd/dvd into a physical disc drive without actually having a disc or a drive. It all happens internally inside the computer on a logical level.

Was just surprised by my girlfriend with a new (to me) 1991 pathfinder SE for my college graduation present! So unbelievably appreciative, i am a lucky man. It is a black pathy with grey interior (what ive always wanted), with sunroof, LSD, rear discs, a bunch of poly bushings just done, nice stereo, snorkel, a trailmaster 4" suspension lift with brand new shocks and best of all, the body has VERY little rust and the frame is 100% immaculate. I went over it with a fine-toothed comb and there isnt one rusty or weak spot on it. Pretty rare for a west coast truck. Still immaculate powder coat all the way down. This one is the keeper, im never getting rid of it!
Plans now are to swap in the 3" body lift, custom 3" suspension lift and all the other goodies from my old truck over to this one, oh yeah, and the VG33E swap and associated parts from my other truck. I am seriously a happy man today! Good chance that custom rear lower control arms are in the agenda now since the rear will be sitting at about 7" of suspension lift! Pictures will follow suit!-

Very nice work my friend. This is a very similar route to what I plan to do with my build after school is finished up in a month. Keep it up man. I remember seeing pics 5 or 6 years ago on Google images of your truck when it was on 44s. Has come a long way since then!

It's easy to pull out, not as easy to put back in. It's actually less work to swap the one from your other truck over...but... why do you say it needs replacing? Does it make any noise or otherwise drive improperly? A tiny bit of rotational play in yhe driveshaft likely wont ruin your day if its that small and you don't have any other issues?

Always hone with new rings. Do you really want to risk having to pull the whole thing apart again if u find failing compression some time after install? Sounds like B has a seriously good offer on the table. I would take him up on that one if i were you. The man knows what he is talking about with this stuff!

I would personally just swap out the whole axle...look around. I ended up finding a great shape low KM rear axle from a pathy with a rotten frame. Went from open diff/drum brakes to LSD/disc brakes. The swap took literally about 3 hours after the brakes were bled and it only cost me 50$.

I run the bronco 2 front shocks with 1" bj spacers and ES ultra low profile bump stops. no problems after 2 years with this setup and my truck is mostly used for wheeling aside from winter DD duty

2 inch extended shocks will be fine at stock height. Just check the compressed length and compare it to stock just to make sure u won't bottom them out but I highly doubt it.

Replaced the alternator in the pathy. Got my new silicone rad hoses and new rad cap for the 240sx

Found a used alternator to swap in. Gotta get my rig back on the road! She will be alive again on Friday!

U use the vg30 waterpump but u have to cut a piece off to make it fit the vg33.

Oem for the 94-95 years was Bosch. That's what I've pulled out of both my wd21s. The ngk ones work great and they are cheaper too lol.
Well that makes sense as my pathys are 93 and they had a rusted old ngk with a Nissan stamp on it when I pulled them out. Guess Nissan switched to Bosch with the round dash trucks!

Looks awesome!!!

Definitely clean out the egr and test its function per the fsm before blindly replacing parts though!

I would use only ngk for the o2 sensor. Even though it is just a discrete sensor (on/off), the set point reliability of the ngk is oem spec. Ngk supplied the factory pathy sensor. I got mine and my gfs for about 50$ shipped for the direct fit. The splice in models would work just fine as well, just make sure they are ngk. Bosch would probably be fine as well since they supplied the oem vg30de o2 sensors.

I run a flowmaster 40 2.5", but I have a full 2.5" exhaust. Just to let you know, it will be loud!

Test the maf VIA the factory service manual. Sounds like maf issue...

Make sure u attached all the electrical connectors in the back of the plenum properly. There's one for the IACV wayyyy at the back that you can't really see once the plenum is in place,

3.6 was the original level. A later technical service bulletin from Nissan states that the fluid amount is revised to 5.1 litres to help with bearing starvation

I haven't gotten to it yet, as I ended up moving for a second year of college and was daily driving my truck up until this last week. My car is back on the road now and the truck is parked and ready to go under the knife again. I'll keep updated when I dig in again.

Just fyi I always grease both the inside and outside diameter of engine and transmission seals when I install them, for both reasons mentioned here. Been doing it this way for years without issue and that's how I was taught to do it by a mechanic of 50 years. My 2 c.

Actually the r50 oil filter bracket that is bolted to the r50 oil pump fits completely fine in a wd21. It clears the center link and steering damper with either the stock 4x4 steering OR the 2wd swap steering. I know this becase I am running a r50 vg33 plus r50 accessories in my wd21. I also run the short steering stops for max steering angle and zero contact issues.
The problem with the r50 oil filter adapter bracket is that it is physically fatter where it bolts to the oil pump which doesn't allow enough room for the alternator to maintain its position when using factory or (w)d22 accessory layout. If you use the r50 accessories which swap the p/s pump and alternator locations and make a custom low profile bracket for the p/s pump then it all fits perfectly.
Just wanted to clear up the fitment issues
