I am selling mine too.......
Doesn't feel good but I'm moving out of the country and won't be able to take it with me. -
Mine looks like this.
But you have a different year and different engine. I tried looking it up under rockauto.com for your year and couldn't find a section for it. I do have a guy who can diagnose your dying issue if youre still looking. Let me know if you would like his info.

Ended up replacing the fuel pressure damper and my truck is working like a charm! Idling issues have all gone, acceleration has returned, no more engine rumble. $68 part from O Rielly's but was a specialty part so it had to be ordered and wasn't in store.
Easy replacement. Since there is zero information on fuel pressure dampers on the internet, I'll give some from my findings.
Description: Fuel Pressure Damper(NOT the same as fuel pressure regulator) - regulates fuel pressure in the fuel rail so that each injector spits out the right amount of fuel in each cylinder evenly. Located on inlet of fuel rail (outside the intake manifold, thank god).
Symptoms of bad Fuel Pressure Damper: Smelling fuel from the engine or in cab. Misfire in random cylinders. Hard start (lots of kicks, no start).
1. Pull tube rubber tube off top nipple.
2. Unbolt 2x 10mm bolts holding the damper.
3. Loosen and unscrew tube ended (14mm and 17mm)
4. Take new damper and bolt on the 2x 10mm bolts on damper side.
5. Reconnect tube on top of damper.
6. Tighten tube end with 14mm and 17mm nuts.
7. Turn key to on position to engage fuel pump.
8. Start truck. Check damper for leakage.
I will check back in a couple of days to see if my truck doesn't start acting up.

Misfire seems to be constant now. Not as noticeable when moving since I still have 5 working cylinders. But now my truck won't stay alive during stops. The idle seems to jump 600-700 and then after a few seconds will die. Restart the truck and it will start with my foot on the gas and then will immediately drop to zero and die again. I now need to hold the gas to keep it going.
Another diagnostics, they think it's the fuel pressure damper. This might be sending different fuel pressures to different chambers and might explain why I'm running rich and smelling fuel from the engine bay. I will be replacing this today but I have a feeling this is not my main issue.
-
Still misfires.
-
Not quite sure. I am experiencing a misfire/ idling issue. Idle seems a jumping from 600-700 at stops. And each time we test for the coil pack, it seems to working properly. When the cars on at a stop, it won't work properly....
-
Just checking back in. Installed the IAC. Relearned the idle through obt2. Truck was idling really low immediately after. But after a couple days, the truck was running properly.
-
I had a mechanic diagnose mine. He claims it's the IAC. I bought the part off rockauto.com for $89 and he's going to install it. Hes charging $150 for labor (1.5hrs of work). We will see if this is correct.
-
How difficult is that trail? There's a lot of good wheeling in your area, ranging from doable to insanly hard. haha.
-
I am experiencing this issue as well. I took it to an arrogant mechanic and he said to clean out the throttle body. It did help but happens every once in a while.
Things I notice, it happens mostly when coming to a stop after a couple of seconds. More noticeable when in cold weather or start of my drive. But after driving around and the trucks warmed up, no issues what so ever.
-
I have a 2001 LE with the turn knob 4x4. I have installed WARN manual hubs and have had no issues. It has improved my mpg and preserved my CVs. You can do this mod with no issues.
-
I'm liking the new shoes! Coming together really nicely! Great work!
-
I have been experiencing the same issue as well. I have no clue what it is. It didn't have the issue when I bought my truck but eventually appeared.
-
Finally got around to messing with some footage from earlier this year. Video of my CV blowing up and trying to get up a snowy and muddy hill afterwards. Took a while
No trail, no problem! I liked the celebratory revving at the end. Haha.

Welcome neighbor!
Lifted white pathfinder? Might be XplorX4. He works around you area. Be sure to chime in the "SouthWest" sub-forums to meet other locals! Catch you around!
PS Post up a picture of your truck! We love pictures.
-
The truck on the right reminds me of when I first bought my truck. Super low and saggy springs. Haha!
-
Just ran into this thread. But looks like he is a hard guy to get a hold of. He responds once in a full moon.

When I bought my truck, the center console had a huge crack down the middle. I wanted to replace it so I looked around and found a local Nissan dismantler. I bought the replacement console for just shy of $100. It was a bit steep in my opinion but I now have a new console. I'm sure you can find a wrecking yard somewhere. It's also a really easy fix, when you fold up the console, there's 2 botls that hold it in place. Unscrew them and replace with the new piece.

LOL...I haven't been active or done anything in the last 8-10 year or so beside taking the truck to the snow for ski trips. Seen I started up my photography hobby I haven't done much offroading at all, even before that I didn't do any hardcore stuffs but hung out with Dean and the old NCCX guys a few times. Dean've helped me tremendously fixing up stuffs that I broke.
. Beside Dean's truck I don't see much modded R50 in San Jose. I saw a blue one (like yours, maybe it was you?) once near my work on 1st/Trimble.
Yeah, that was me. I used to live near that area.

The top picture was taken 10+ years ago when I still had 2" lift from AC. I removed the lift a couple years ago and now back to stock height. I miss it though and may be thinking of adding it back in the near future. I just replaced the radiator, the distributor and had the dealer did a throttle reset.
Back to stock height and the Yakima Skybox 21 on top (I now have the skytox 18)
Still have the old NCCX Xterra club sticker hahah
San jose local? How come I haven't seen you around? Haha!

Did you cut the pig tail off the top on the 6.5 WJ coils?
-
Looking beastly! Got a lot of rake there I see. Which springs did you use in the rear?
