By the way this is what you're looking for and it's located on the passenger side rear quarter panel Pull the lower plastic above the wheel well and you'll see it. Mine had a sticker on it with the letter "H".

Anyone know how to pull those tail lights and have a good way to remove those last 3 pieces of glass without breaking them?

I little more removed. This is a bit of a problem. Was planning to use the stock fuel pickup. So now I have to cross my fingers and hope I can get a vacuum advanced distributor out of a VG30S so I can ditch the fuel injection and run full propane.

Maybe if I was planning on doing some wide open throttle type wheeling lol. Those systems aren't made to work in a 4 wheeling setup or even a city street driving setup. They're designed for race cars that are on the gas hard when it's time to push the gas peddle. That's why it's not common to see these in old school hot rods. Those that have them are doing it for show or actually race the car. Really cool system though. And they look bad ass lol. This is what you'll find on just about every sprint car. The only exception would be the limited budget sprint car classes that run carbs and lower dollar engines.

I'll let the mods police me on whether or not this thread should be here. However I will call BS though just because we have another very popular build thread in this section that many of us are following. It covers everything he's doing to his rig not just one thing. So.... As far as facebook issues. I have an idea of why this is a problem. More and more people are blocking their facebook content for what I think are crazy reasons. This includes the photos they linked to. Once those photos are blocked so that only friend's can see them you have a problem. Most of mine are posted on my business page on facebook and I don't block any of that content. Hell I don't block any of the content on my personal page ether. So no problems on my end unless I forgot and deleted a photo. I do have my own personal server but that takes way to much time and I'd rather not.

Why would this go in the member ride's forum? I'm not just showing this off. This is a build for both of my trucks. This one is going to be turned into a rock crawler. This is the whole process. Is that not hardcore enough for you? Also I've been using facebook to link photos for years and haven't had a problem unless I deleted them from facebook. I've seen more problems with photo sharing websites not loading for various different reasons.

thank you

More parts removed. Didn't get as much done as I had hoped. My shop is cold as hell right now. If this wasn't in the way I would put my wood stove back in.

What are these two things? They are under the driver seat. I know the thing in the middle is a vent.

That's because I have a hard time paying attention lol. Honestly I rarely checkout that part of the forum.

Thank you both. I had to click through a bunch of links that didn't work but I eventually found it and the owners manuals for both of my pathfinders.

Where do I get this book?

Is that silver box in the driver quarter panel with the orange sticker the trans computer?

Interior is coming apart. Hopefully everything other than the dash will be out by tomorrow night. Need to be careful not to damage any of it because it's all going inside my 91 Pathfinder. I'll finally be able to get rid of that ugly blue crap that's in there right now.

They will be fine. Just be ready to have an exhaust shot help with the install. They are not bolt on even thought they look like it. The flange that bolts to the tail pipe isn't the same size. The cross over pipe is a pain in the ass to connect too. I have the pacesetter painted version. I'm happy with them but all of the above mentioned is something to think about. Don't be mad if you run into those problems. You where warned lol.

I'm trying to get rid of the stock fuel injection setup. This will be for my 95 project "A Tail of Two Sisters" in the hard core fab area. She's going to be a rock buggy type rig and I want to keep things as simple as possible. If something goes wrong on the trail I don't want to be hunting out a possible EFI effecting sensor or something stupid like that. The simpler the better but as you all know carbs suck when dealing with changes in elevation and extreme angles. Yes I know they now have 4x4 carbs but in my opinion they aren't worth the risk. I'd rather just run a simple propane setup from "Got Propane". They have a setup that works with a standard two barrel intake manifold. So now that I know where to get the intake. I just need info on the ignition system. I see that some of those 510 guys have found some VG30S distributors that work with carbs in the middle east but that was years and years ago from what I'm finding in my searches. And back then it was very hard to find them. I'm wanting to know what my options are now in 2013 and if there are any good options. I guess the issue if the stock VG30E or I is advanced via the ECU. The carb distributor has a vacuum advance on it.

SO/OZ Members?

PS. I have the VG30I and VG30E mixed up in my original post.

That's what I'm looking for. Thank you. I just messaged him and hopefully he'll chime in and tell us more about the ignition option now that I know he has the manifold.

Anyone hear of someone changing their VG30 to run off propane? I'm very interested in this but I need info on a mechanical ignition system and who sells a manifold setup to run a 2 barrel carb? I've seen it done when searching but haven't found any solid leads to getting a manifold and the ignition system. I have a VG30E but I'd like to get rid of anything complicated as far electronics go. ​Does anyone make an adapter for the VG30I manifold? Even if it's a weld on adapter.

P.S. Stick around. You're one of us now. Be different and proud of it.

So you're the one that ended out with this awesome rig! I thought this was gone... Saw the build pics but read it was sold or parted out or something. Don't put the jeep grill on it. I'm pretty sure the tube work in the front \ / was put there as a subtle indication that this is a Nissan.

Didn't get much done today so I won't bother with pics or video. I did want to say this though. Anyone needing pics or information on how something is mounted or whatever please do ask before it's to late. This whole truck is going to be taken apart. Top to bottom, front to back. Also I climbed under the truck tonight and the frame from along the doors us rusted but is very much salvageable. Still unsure what the plan will be. I'm sure once I get this completely torn down to nothing but the metal I'll spend a few hours staring at it trying to come up with a plan. The front part of the frame (fire wall forward will for sure be cut off and rebuilt It's a mess up there. The frame from the upper link mount back will be removed as well. Here is the problem I'm having. The debate in my head. Maybe some of you with experience can chime in. Do I want it to be street legal? If so I need DOT windshield and need to choose is I want to register it as a Pathfinder or a homemade vehicle here in NY. I plan on beating the hell out of it once it's done so I'm not sure street legal really matters because I'll more than likely want to tow it if I plan on beating it up like that. However It will be branded with my business name and I'd like to drive it around town just because. What's more important? This can get really damn expesive! Advice? Do I want it sealed from the weather? It rains and snows up here plus it can get real damn cold when the wind is hitting you. Do I want a warm weather sun shine only rig? Do I want to use any of the stock body at all? If so how much? Axle width and tire size is an issue. I plan on finding a matching pair of D44 or D60 axles or something equally as good. I'd rather not have to worry about cutting the axles to shorten them if I don't have to. The problem with that would be the tires looking really damn stupid sticking way out from the stock body. As a result I'm leaning toward building my own body over a tube chassis. My issue is that I really would like this to have signs of actually looking like it use to be a Nissan Pathfinder at one point in time. Here is my last issue. Do I use the VG30 + auto trans + stock transfer case with a doubler or put a small block Chevy engine in running of propane + Turbo400 auto trans + and I'm unsure about the transfer case in that setup? I have the VG30 setup in hand other than the doubler. However I may have a 305 Chevy in my hands shortly. Even if I don't 350s are dirt cheap. The perks of a small block Chevy would be: I can get parts for it anywhere. I can replace it easily for little money if it take a @!*% on me. I can get a ton of power out of it with little money or effort. Far more power than I'll ever be able to get out of that VG30 for the price. But then again do I really want that power? That could lead to a bunch of broken parts. ADVICE PLEASE!!!!!!!!! lmao Any and all ideas are open. How often do you have an opinion with someone else's build? Idea's followed up with photos would be awesome!!! And if anyone knows how to use that damn link calculator floating around pirate4x4 please PM me. We need to talk. I need to figure out what link setup I'm going to go with. I've made up my mind. I'm going to build it all myself. If I fskc it up I'll just cut it off and try it again lol.

Thank you I built it out of scrap metal. I like the design but it's sloppy. I plan on making a new one. This one will be for sale soon but only to people that want to come pick it up. My new one I'm hoping to design it where I can box it up and ship it. We'll see though. I have allot of work to do before I get to that point.

It's a central NY car. That can happen out here. They put so much salt on these roads out here. You might as well drive in the ocean lol. Shockingly enough the body don't seem to be in that bad of shape. Not sure about the floor just yet but the doors are all ok and the main part of the body seems like it has very little rust. The frame might not be worth trying to save. If that's the case expect a tube frame buggy with pathfinder parts. But again, we'll see how things go as I keep taking this apart. The tow truck I was expecting to work on today might not be showing up until later tonight or tomorrow. So looks like I'll start tearing off anything attached to the engine itself. I need to get a good look at that block and see how much rust is on that. I'm a little worried right now Need to climb under it and look at that trans too. I'm not going to loose any money off of it regardless. I only paid $500 for her and I'm going to get way more than that in parts. I've got a plan b, c, d, e and f already in the back of my mind depending on how much of this I can actually use. This just shows me that I need to do everything possible to protect my 91 from rust. And my Saab for that matter. Looks like I'll be buying a ton of Chassis Saver while living in this state lol.
