  1. Here are a whole slew of them on Ebay, God only knows if any of these are legit and working or not. So far it's the best thing I've found. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=replacement+keyless+remote+pathfinder&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=keyless+remote+94+pathfinder&_sacat=0
  2. okay well that went bust. Anyone that you go and try to talk to about your factory alarm will just give you a stupid look and say something like, 'uh, no we don't have that. You should buy a new alarm and let us install it.' Well I found one here for $70 but I'm not payin that, forget it. http://www.keylessremotes4u.com/NISSAN-PATHFINDER-PRE-OWNED-REMOTE-G57NTX318-270-P527C22027.aspx
  3. This morning I had the most successful mud riding to date with my 94 SE in general, and the most that I've yet taken my new tires through and I have to say they worked great. The mud hole I found was appx 60ft in diameter mud ring where others had been rutting it up in the recent past, really wet, standing water in a few spots and with my new Coopers I was able to plow right through it, never got stuck, which was a good thing because I was alone. Truck did great, as far as I'm concerned its bone stock with a few minor exceptions and I think it's friggin awesome, I love it. The tires never even balked, never even started to leave me hangin, just kept pushing through. In this pic you can see what I just went through, there was a lot more off camera. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/muddy_zps9cf91ebf.jpg
  4. I'm just gonna try to get one from Fry's or some place, I'll let you know if I'm successful. I started looking into this too.
  5. I've only got one pic of my old 280zx, no pics of any of the others, they are just memories in my vehicle graveyard.
  6. Hey Braden I once owned an 81 Datsun 810 / Maxima with an inline 6 cyl diesel engine! That car was cool man, I liked it, even though it only had a 3 speed auto, it was great! Sadly I blew the engine in it Also had an 80 280zx (2 seater, the 2+2's were horrid) once, great fun car, love those cars. Also had an 85 Maxima which I also really liked alot with the digital dash (got this in trade for the 280zx) that car got totalled. Now I have a 2001 Altima GXE and 94 Path SE. I did also used to have a 91 D21 when I was 18. My first car was an 83 Nissan Pulsar NX, terrible car, carbureted, front drive piece of crap.
  7. Whats up Sicnis? Hello from Houston! Like Alkorahil said its nice to have another Texan in the club, everyone is always talking about driving in the snow this and that! I've been to San Antonio a few times, it's a nice town. Great little mexican food resturaunt has good breakfast over on White street way in the east end of town about two or three miles south of the Motel 6 on White, near the loop 410. Greg
  8. Hey Adamzan how do those RS5000 change the ride? Stiffer ride, more bumpy I guess? What about on the street going over road seams or potholes and junk like that? Did they raise it up a little? I am also interested in these shocks.
  9. I am loving my new Cooper Discoverer AT/3's that I finally got installed on my pathy. Just took them through quite a bit of wet mud on Saturday, and they did great but I was still very careful on picking my line since I was alone. They ride great on the road, quiet as can be and look fantastic. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/IMG_20130212_162303_zps7e11b348.jpg
  10. Why would you bother with gutting the cat when you can just go to Midas or it might be Meinike and get a high flow cat installed for like $80? Its legal, its free flow of exhaust and they do all the work!
  11. hehe...ahem "Here, Honey can you hold this for a minute please?" "hold WHAT?!? WE'RE EFFING OUT OF CONTROL AND ABOUT TO CRASH NUMNUTS!" "Well, yes I know and it's just that I just got this 44 ounce big gulp and I don't want to spill it but I must move it so that I may engage the parking brake, which is located under the cup holder, you see." " {garbled incoherent cursing scream}"
  12. The armrest is great, I like the arm rest, I wish my silverado had one, it doesn't have any console at all.
  13. Hurray for Chrysler / Dodge Corp. for opening the door to small light duty diesel engines in the U. S. of A-MARE-RICCA! Yes! Check it!: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/02/14/ram-to-build-only-light-duty-diesel-pickup/?intcmp=features Now that Dodge has done this, the others are going to have to compete once they see it take off. Finally we're going to get to have the small torquey diesel engines they have overseas.
  14. if it ever came to that, it wouldn't be hard to rip that thing out of there and give the E brake a yank.
  15. Here is my totally awesome cup holder / console mod that works perfectly and I give a 1000% functionality / livability rating for it. Results guaranteed! It's this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/HOP9/EMICBEI/N0319.oap?ck=Search_consoles_-1_-1&keyword=consoles I found at O'reilly auto parts and it cost around 7 or 8 bucks. It's a nice tight fit between the two front seats and sits directly over the E-brake and kinda covers up my toggle switches but that doesn't bother me any. I had to make a couple of cuts on it to make it work comfortably. You'll see in the pics wear I cut a section off the back, I did this to allow for clearance so it would fit down over the "toggle switch housing" Then I made two long cuts about 2.5" apart on both sides of the console to make it more pliable. Before making any of these cuts, when I would wedge it between the seats I found that the pressure of the corners of the console pushing through the cushion of my seat to be painful and annoying. Once I cut the back plastic piece off, and made the two cuts on both sides, it allowed it to slide further back so that the broad wide portion of the console is next to my thigh instead of the corner. So that combinded with the "flexi / pliable" cuts, no more pain and I can drive in comfort and completely forget I've got a mini console putting pressure against my seat. It's totally stable, it gives me a place to throw my junk and the cup holders are adjustable. It's great!
  16. Are you kidding, I drive around like that sometimes and that is an integral part of my "Driving while my son shoots through the popped up window at enemies chasing us" plan.
  17. My foglight toggle switch, well actually all my toggle switches (window release, foglight, suspension sport / comfort and alarm) are all situated around the emergency brake on the front of the console. Are not all the 94/95 SE's this way? My dimmer knob is in the same spot as the one pictured above though. I know my truck was purchased new in Washington state and then it came south at some point. I've got a great cupholder mod for you guys btw! It's perfect, pictures later.
  18. I realize now it's due in large part to having the outside white lettering. That adds a degree of dimensionality that wasn't there before. My son and I did very briefly go offroad earlier today kinda in the back of our neighborhood where there is a wet muddy grassy area next to a cow pasture and we have had some rain here the last couple of days. I think I got kinda stuck for a moment (I didn't try real hard to power out of it while in rear wheel drive only) Shifting into 4 hi got me right out of it but that wasn't even a real legitimate test, although it seemed to me to a lot slippery'er and queasy feeling than I would have liked for my awesome brand new tires. My truck doesn't roll so badly in turns now and bumps and sharp creases in the road are much less jarring.
  19. I'm so confused, I tried to fix this. Trog how did you post my pics? I tried to go back and edit and it wouldn't let me repost my new edit..
  20. Got my new tires mounted and I'm really happy with them so far. The thing that really gets me is how they change the entire look of the entire vehicle and even make the lego rims look more acceptable to me now than before. before: <a href="http://s195.beta.photobucket.com/user/gv280z/media/IMG_20130212_152845_zpsd9879f88.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/IMG_20130212_152845_zpsd9879f88.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_20130212_152845_zpsd9879f88.jpg"/></a> after!: <a href="http://s195.beta.photobucket.com/user/gv280z/media/IMG_20130212_162303_zps7e11b348.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/IMG_20130212_162303_zps7e11b348.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_20130212_162303_zps7e11b348.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s195.beta.photobucket.com/user/gv280z/media/IMG_20130212_153902_zps53cb064e.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/IMG_20130212_153902_zps53cb064e.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_20130212_153902_zps53cb064e.jpg"/></a>
  21. Well guys I finally bit the big rubber one today and ordered a set of 31" x 10.50 / 15" Cooper discoverer AT/3 tires Probably have them mounted by the end of next week. With the pro rate on my current set of highway tread Kumhos at $20 per tire, final out the door was like $830 at Discount Tire. Yay! Finally I get big fat all terrain tires and the correct size that supposed to be there! I'm so happy And now my over years worth of tire this and that and research can finally come to an end. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z29/gv280z/2011-10-02171842.jpg
  22. Wow, you're like the Monster Garage equivalent for Nissan Pathfinders! That's insane man. Love the build up.
  23. oh my god I feel so stupid, I had no idea I kept wondering why I wasn't seeing this thread anywhere. I just happened to see it down at the bottom of a the page one day and commented, never even thought to look at the date! -- Major Payne -- "Why do I feel like a jackass??" DOH!
  24. I'm sorry, really I am, don't mean to be a downer but aren't you rushing it a bit? You just got your first Pathfinder, a 94, probably haven't had it a month yet and you're already trying to figure how to lift it. Why not take some time to get to know your truck, become friends with it, learn its idiosyncrasies and most of all, learn what made the WD21 a fantastic vehicle bone stock right off the show room floor. Did you know that 95 was the last year that our trucks had a frame on chassis design? There is a whole generation that follows ours that had a unibody construction and OUR generation is the one that gets the most respect and accolades for being one of the better built 4x4 trucks. Did you know our trucks used a 5 link rear suspension setup? Why don't you take your truck offroad a little bit first and see what it can do in its natural form. Once you have hung around here for a little while and browse through the posts, you'll gradually begin to pick things up here and there and things will just start to fall into place. We're lucky, I've learned, our trucks are actually the easiest and cheapest to lift. I've had my 94 SE since 10/11, bone stock, lego rims and little 235/75/15 highway tread Kumho Solus 21 tires that I've been itching to upgrade to a real offroad all terrain tire but I am positively in love with my truck, my son and I have already had many offroad adventures in it even with the gimpy little tires, it's great! It's like a nice red wine, say a Cabernet, you don't just gulp it down, take time to enjoy the aroma, the color and the bouquet of flavors as you roll it around your tongue.. Savor your truck. It's uniquely special and in a class of it's own. Sorry for the lecture, welcome here. Greg
  25. Funny you should ask! I just ran across this earlier today when replying in my original post up above: http://compare.ebay.com/like/310351564359?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar BOOM SHAKALAKA! Also found this too but I'm not the type to mess with it, I wouldn't want to have to cut the upholstery and all of that yada whatever but I know some of you guys do: http://compare.ebay.com/like/230593173196?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
