    Mystery suspension pop still occurring after fixing/replacing LCA mounts and ball joints

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Sounds like a bushing on sway bar You only hear the pop at a sudden rotation of the wheels Because that's when it's shifting sides. Mine had a similar clunk that was neglected for some time till I got around to it.

     

    Now I click and ding due to the previous owner installing spring adjustments that have long failed on stock suspension.

     

     

    Also original bump stops need to be changed due to age and myth that they: suck because of fabrication, age, composite, use, updated, wear and tear might as well if you are down there. I guarantee if you haven't replaced them they'll be pretty beaten up or gone...

    looking for discontinued parts / emergency/ parking brake lines

    Found a company that makes the parking brake for Terrano 's which should be the same as my USDM Pathfinder on eBayLook at this on eBay

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/232234637829

     

    .Got the idea after I found the brake cables in Japan add Thailand but under JDM part numbers and could not confirm a match from vendor. I've ordered speedometer cables before using nissan JDM part order and they match just different part look up.

     

    Confirm after install and arrive

    as the tile post i'm looking for emergency brake lines for my 91 pathfinder 4wd M/T with drums

     

    I ordered Raybestos parts on someones recommendation bu they use universal brake parts and the fitting that attaches to drum is not present so it doesn't fit.

     

     

    i was wondering if parking brake cables were interchangeable between models if so i would just order a newer modern with drums

    or if anyone knew where to get the OEM parts where i wont be raped in charges.

    All the dealers i contacted don't carry the part or wont confirm that they are OEM infact

    I would just run new wires. The amps go bad if you have any. Wire degradation do to ashe and weather is also am issue. Just bypass and run new lines. It's not difficult to do a clean install plenty of room to tuck wire

    The old engine.

    I was going through the ordeal of going to junk yard taking pictures and bringing screws back to match them but that fit old after I realized my car was old and instead of putting down for a new car I'd just wake mine up

    Long story condensed.

    Saw a fellow NPORA WD21 lifted to high heaven on calmini suspension cruising in Bellflower and it made me miss my pathy. So i decided to rebuild instead of "buying" something and new half plastic.

     

    Background Driveway mechanic my mother hired as a surprise to help me finish a water pump job ended up hacking up my pathfinder, so now I've decided to go for an engine swap. I was borrowing the driveway at my parents, got called in to work, came back and the idiot was cutting off my electric radiator fans from the harness and my freshly changed water pump on floor. Said it wasn't stock and he mixed up all my labeled screws . The guy got a right hook for trying to hustle my mom and mess up my car.

     

    I've decided on a vg33 I'm letting my actual mechanic finish the job since I don't have time.

     

    Aside from miscellaneous hoses and bits

    I would need

    Vg33 clutch

    Actual vg33 engine found a place local

    **$750 jdm engine , intake, power steering, alternator, engine harness and ecu**

     

     

    I have

    A quest alternator that bolts up with pulley swap

    Two 13 electric radiator

    fans

    Upgraded two row radiator

    Cold air intake

    3 inch body lift

    Pulled out ac out

    Manual 4wd

     

    I also have Mr 510's adapter to use all my original accessories but I may just switch over to the new one and splice the harness myself

     

    Any other pieces I need or suggest while she is being worked on?

    Yeah my truck has no muffler because of budget reasons because the one i wanted was too pricy at the time I just needed a new cat welded for emmitions. It sounds like a ricer 240 and I know everyone in my parking structure hates me at 5 am when I go to work. My other ride is 650 vstar with shorts so not much better. Performs great and had a noticeable difference in acceleration.

     

    As far the kn and filters. the stock air box rib hose doesn't seem to be as free flowing as a straight fabricated pipe pipe with inserts for sensors.

     

    The eBay kit is a crap. Its pieced together with nylon nipples for connections that don't sit flush. It needs some customozing to seal air leaks and remove obvious obstuructions. So if you want bolt on don't buy the kit I was disappointed I should have gone to home depot to piece it together for less

    I've seen several guys talk about the Doug thorley with 2.5" all the way back. I'm wanting to do that as well. I'm also planning on the electric radiator fan swap (with higher output alternator).

     

    Quick question on the cams... Can you still pass emissions with them in a vg30? I'm coming up on a timing belt water pump job and wondering if it would be worth it now, or will I have to wait till this old girl hits exemption status...

    I have 2.5 cat back with just a glass pack and cold air intake that I switch out for smog test. Engine definately feels more springy after the work. It got a little more spring after i removed yhe fan and clutch and replaced it woth dual electruc fans. I'm going to be pulling out the ac entirely. Then working on the water pump , belts and seals.

     

    My last pathfinder definately felt more alive without all the ac equipment weighing in it down . I might be doing that to my 91. It doesn't work and I'm not much for trouble shooting ac outside of low on freon and bad clutch.

     

     

    I recomend getting a higher output alternator. I have dual 12 inch fan hooked up to an electronic thermostat and when they both kick on with my lights one and other accessories. I start having flickering and fans slow down. I still haven't installed the alternator j pulled from a newer quest.

    Blinkers cut out while driving only

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Sounds like the flasher relay is dead, get your head under the steering wheel, you should see it clipped unto a plastic retainer somewhere around the upper back of the fuse panel. There's a bunch of wires back there so be careful you don't pull any of those out.

    Thanks I'll check it out.

    I'm actually bummed cause I've hit up three different junkyards in so cal and only hand full of wd22 / dw / wd22 I was even looking a quest alternator and had to end up pulling one from a guy on craigslist

    So like it says my blinkers cut out only when. My wd21 is moving over 10mph under that they work.

     

     

    Recently I changed the spedometer cable with a new onefrom Thailand was supposed to be for Navara but it barely fit 82 inches. Had to get the girlfriends brother to order it manufactured there and mail it to me cost about $75. works fine I think my speedo is a little laggy the needle is a little jumpy till it hits the higher speeds.

     

    But anyways I've changed my turn signal checked bulbs any ideas where else to look. Are the blinker indicators controlled by voltage regulator in anyway? If so that's my next step.

     

    I'd really like to avoid taking apart v the dash it's just a PITA to do more than once ever

    i ended up flushing out my old radiator

    used flex hose cut to size replaced the mid section with flex hose too

    used a radiator hose instead of the adapter inserts that came with flex hose kit (disintegrated after a few weeks) Autozone eyballed some universal hose

    removed stock fan and replaced it with two 12 slim fans and a thermostat controller from ebay it wasn't a kit I've just been ordering slowly and catching deals

    20151009_155720_zpsrsxhpniv.jpg

     

    so far its held up alright its extra hot today here in Cali so i know my car is running a little hotter than usual ill update later in the week to see if it holds up

     

    installed some piece of crap intake from ebay which i will be fixing soon . i only installed it because the stock hose had torn from the stress of angle from the lift

    20151009_155724_zpsunvk4wqm.jpg

    also changed over to the hardbody front end

    20151009_155648_zpsy4nupxz1.jpg

     

    With flex hose alone the month i drove in the summer the car worked fine i was just paranoid of the hoses popping off. Hopefully now that i have both the e fan and

    I actually just passed smog in cali i used stock headers then swapped back. My exhaust was rebuilt because the previous owner used 1.25 inch piping pre cat and it led into a 1.25 cat with a stretched out exit of 1.5 that led into a 2 inch muffler and out.

    Unrelated I had to swap out the crank pulley because there was no top dead center mark left and the smog guy was being a stickler.

     

    That setup made the car run aweful.

     

    I currently have wrapped after market headers that lead into 2.5 pipe to the 2.5 MagnaFlow cat then to a 2.5 cherry bomb. Honestly I thought I'd regret using 2.5 but so far no issue.

     

    When I smogged it the guy ran the MagnaFlow carb number said it was fine and all was good. I didn't point it out he just saw it was a fresh cat. I was of course going to use my stock headers because the wrapped ones didn't look stock.
