Ooh I would love to hear about this fan setup haha mine cooks in the summer (zero tint/privacy glass)

Definitely 5 bulbs in my 95. I used 194 style leds, cost $1.39 each. Wouldnt recommend the color i got, it actually is mainly UV light as advertised so you cant really make out the dials too well unless its pretty dark. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q6/iTHINKiHAVE_add/7733C1B5-42BF-445B-B238-01FDE4F52EAF-5464-0000021FEEFB6058_zps4660eef4.jpg LED on left, original bulb on the right

Yup! I got some leds off superbriteleds.com and put them in the little twist lock things the old bulbs were mounted to, dimmer still works too. Ill look tomorrow which led i got. The 'bulb finder' didnt show any for the dash. I believe it was five bulbs not including the clock light

Yup. I had a blown bulb that i dissected with a dremel, and used that as an adapter to get the signal from the stock harness to the relay. That way it's all plug and play, no splicing, and should something go wrong you can revert to stock bulbs and wiring at any moment (nifty if youre running overwattage bulbs and get pulled over or sh*t hits the fan offroad) edit: Also, you might want to try using the driver's side bulb; i used the passenger side and its starting to get kind of messy over there with all the wires -but maybe it wouldn't if you take the time to wrap everything up nicely

Yeah i read a whole bunch of why not to do the 9007s but i did it anyway knowing what i was getting into...but one just burnt out today so i switched back to my spare 9004s, gotta aim them waaay up tomorrow lol and fir the hid retrofit i meant buying the clear front plastic headlights and sourcing something like audi TT oem projectors and ballasts and either way is going to cost a ton but i kind of love messing around with lights haha

Not really sure exactly what your problem could be, when i got my 95 the stock stereo didn't work so i replaced that within a week. I also remember reading that the clarion 'active sound' or whatever system (4 speakers, 4 tweeters) had a terrible amp, so i followed this guide and bypassed it. http://tech.240sxone.com/94/s14-how-to-build-an-amp-bypassdelete-harness/ Stock speaker membrane material was all dried out or nonexistent, so i put kicker speakers all around when i got the money. If you go to crutchfield.com it will tell you pretty accurately what fits and what requires modifications to fit, so maybe give that a shot. If you do have the clarion amp and want to bypass it but keep your tweeters youll have to install passive crossovers (providing that you dont install a better amp, which is definitely the way to go if you have the money). I recently did the passive crossovers and could post some pics/info if you want just let me know

Ah, alright. I only really do occasional light offroading, usually the beach so i really dont run into any situations where i might break one. I currently have 9007's in the stock housing w/relays & aimed all the way down, thats fine with me for now (glare isnt bad either)... I really do love the sad eye and pathy grille combo too much so i guess ill post up results if i ever get the ece assy's if not, probably going to take a shot at an hid projector retrofit. Thanks though!

Let me know if youve found somewhere to buy them! ive been trying to find them on and off for about a year after reading this http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/938/project-pathfinder--for-safety-sake.aspx Just ordered clear corners a couple weeks ago ^-^

My dad bought the 87 new, its at 198k. Moms '02 new has about 150k. Bought my 95 a year and 4 months ago, at 145k now....yeah we kind of like nissans ^-^

Wow! Nice job! Why did they leave her for dead in the first place?? Edit: why dint they try harder to get the starter working again...everyone's got a mechanically inclined uncle or something, no?

Woo what a relief. Thanks guys! How would i know for sure if i have abs or not? Not really sure what kind of components id be looking for.

Alright so heres the story: I was having a bad morning and it was wet outside on my commute to school. So I (yes, i know irresponsibly) downshifted from 3 to 2 at somewhere around 25mph around this turn and threw the back of the car out a little bit to relieve some stress. Everything was fine except i noticed my ebrake and ABS lights turned on while the tires were spinning. When i straightened out they both went off and everything seemed normal (lights were on for about 1.5s). Anyone have any ideas what would cause this/if i have anything to worry about? The brake was all the way down and i'm fairly certain i dont have abs since ive easily locked the wheels in wet weather before with no sign of anti-locking magic or the light coming on. I wasnt on the brake or the clutch, only the gas when it happened. 95 pathfinder 5spd XE 94 pathfinder inst. cluster because the guy who sold it to me sold me the car said the speedo wasnt working and all i had to do was swap in the extra cluster that came with the car (it was the speed sensor not the cluster though) Ive put purple LEDs in place of the stock cluster illumination bulbs a few months ago and everything has been working fine since. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So i finally added the rest of the extra gear oil to my transmission yesterday and i would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has offered tips and advice in this thread especially.

Alright so i tried the tipping method before i left for school, and after getting almost 5 bottles of redline mt-90 in, i gave up (I just drove it up onto car ramps at the passenger side tires). Obviously now that i am hundreds of miles away from home, my trans started whining again. I've got another bottle of redline on its way from amazon, and i'm curious as to whether there are any other factors that could help with the tilting method. What positions should the shifters be in? I think I had them in 2wd for the t case and neutral for the trans when i first did it. I don't exactly know how the engine/trans/tcase work together sadly, but if the gear oil can move from the t case to the trans it would make sense to tip it both sideways and forward or backward, with the t case in a setting that would allow the fluid to flow around, no? (please excuse my lack of knowledge if i am completely wrong...i would be more than happy to learn!) if i'm completely off i guess i'll be pulling my seats and stuff in my apartment's parking lot and getting at that shifter haha

Thanks man and lol my bumper was starting to rot so i got halfway to ordering a roll pan and took it off and broke a few bolts...and never finalized the roll pan order. Stuck with a messed up rotted bumper and no new one Hopefully soon ill get around to it

Alright so besides that extra layer of metal i didnt quite expect to see everything went as planned. Some pics: Thank you guys so much for the help! I seriously wouldnt have been able to do this without it. So the only thing left is my question from above, will ratcheting straps from lowes be sufficient to hold a tire in there snugly? (And i think im going to throw a big NPORA sticker on the wind fairing or stencil it on with some spraypaint to represent and say thanks)

@medicbaldwin, yeah that would absolutely be my fallback plan. To update on progress, getting the rivnuts was a PITA, graingers had to have them ordered and absolutely no other store had them. I got aluminum 1/4" by 20 rivnuts and used the harbor freight tool to get them in. Also used step bit from HF especially because the rivs called for 25/64" hole, and the HF one was the only one i could find. Drilled the holes in the roof, and there was another sheet of metal behind where i tried to mount it so i used a regular 25/32" bit to drill through that after using the unibit for the roof metal. Put some loctite silicone sealant inside the holes and on the outsides of the riv nuts, and got them in. Not toooo pretty but im impressed how sturdy it is based on my lack of rivnut expierence/skill. Pics will be up soon. Going to trim the crossbars (1.25" on each side) right now! Then its just a matter of using the provided bracket with the box and putting my tire in. Can i use ratcheting straps? Or do i really need one of the tire mounts made for this?

Not to get too off topic, but what about the juke setup swapped into a wd21? I havent looked at any of the hp/tq numbers but it sounds like a blast to drive to me. And not sure about weight but im assuming its much lighter than the vg? A wd21 on a diet all stripped down with a little 1.8 turbo...hmmm...sorry for rambling just felt the need to get that thought from my head out to someone lol

http://www.motoiq.com/projects/nissan/project_nissan_pathfinder.aspx Pretty much everything on this pathfinder. But in charcoal grey metallic (KH2), smoked tail lights with the reverse light section left white, White corner lights, White blinker lenses, Moderate, but not obnoxious tint all around, And my sound setup (which is in my signature i believe) Rola roof box on top.

That looks so sick! So jealous of your pathy setup haha

Hahaha alright thanks devonianwalk Any word on how these shocks feel? Mine are going in friday and im so excited to find out

So i just saw this and had an OH SH-- moment because i just received kyb gas-a-just shocks for my WD21... All four... Anyone know if they will work in the front? Im seriously hoping the r50/wd21 are different here X__X

Just looked a tool they have at harbor freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/45-piece-threaded-insert-riveter-kit-1210.html I think im going to grab that tomorrow because its so cheap and i can pick it up right away due to the time sensitive build... They said the rivnuts that come with it dont sit flush so maybe ill get some that do and see how it goes unless you think its too cheap and will break halfway through haha And just picked up the rails and a crossbeam from my friend. He wouldnt even take a couple bucks because he said theyd just take up space in the garage haha. After mocking them up the crossbeam is a bit wide but hopefully ill be able to pick up another somewhere (the long island jeep group is pretty big here) and trim the beams a bit.

The rack was from what im assuming was a 4-door WD21 from the center moriches yard. The other yard said immediately said they had nothing. Went to go check it out but it started pouring out lol so im going to go tomorrow. Id love to do an xterra rack but i just dont think i have the time to do the modifications before i head upstate to school And sweet that video actually helped me conceptualize what im going to have to do a TON! @trogdor yeah, im going to see if i can talk them down a bit. Cash almost always talks in situations like this haha

Called up, the one in center moriches has one...theyre asking a hundred bucks but i guess that just might be the price of being a dumb*** and waiting until the last minute. Thanks again for the junkyards! I seriously wish i started this earlier haha i'd actually be able to take full advantage of everyone's help and advice. There will be pictures of whatever i end up going with. The cargo basket just came a couple hours ago and it's really nice for the price. fits nicely on the high spot of the roof. Link if anyone else is interested: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004O844DS/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_dp_1 Also, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a brief overview of how to properly attach a rack , ahardb0dy. That Xterra rack doesnt look like its going anywhere. (anyone else is more than encouraged to chime in)
