I had no idea tanks could be flummoxed by something as wonderful as snow. What exactly happens? Treads clog up and jam? Or no clearance for intake? Are they diesel or turbine powered? -Kyle

Im stupid, should have actually looked at the MY01 fender i have. YES you will have to remove the front bumper. There is one nut that sits under the front marker, (might have two, the one i have has an extra hole, but no signs that there was actually anything there). There is also another fastener behind the headlight. Sorry if you already tried and figured this out. -Kyle

Three in the engine compartment. Atleast one in the inner fender well. And then two behind the side marker. -Kyle

i remember when mine were new. Looked SOOO good. As do your's love the forest green too! -Kyle

Or that they make (or use to at least) struts that fit the front. That's what gets me! Lol -Kyle

Nice. Glad you found them. People really under estimate the favorites bar, mine is FULL of alot of good info on the r50. Just annoying trying to keep it all organized, but once you get past that, it saves SO much time. -Kyle

http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/32740-so-here-is-my-plan/ From Xplorer This is the cheapest place i found for these http://www.eshocks.com/bil_ORsb.asp?Series_Index=Q6&Manf=All&SubChar=Q and the 5100 series specific page http://www.eshocks.com/shock_ind2.asp?PN=33-185552 But it was a few years ago when i found these, so maybe somewhere else like autoplicity will be cheaper... -Kyle

Factory wiring for fog lights is there whether you got that option or not, I'm not sure if you got it on the stalk but I'd doubt it. You should (in theory) be able to buy the indicator stalk that had the fog light switch and the wiring should be there, I can't confirm that side, but shouldn't be hard to find it though to confirm that fog light wiring is in fact present under the dash. And i think that sensor is inlet temp, because the ambient air sensor is mounted right up front on that little cross bracket thingy in front of the AC Condenser. -Kyle

Not sure, I'm really hoping it doesn't make an awful high pitch squeal like the a throttle body spacer tends to do, or an Un tuned intake. Here's a pic of it

I've got a full titanium ARC "super induction box" on its way from Japan, final cost will be about the same as the K&N but it should look about a thousand times cooler. It's off an elgrand, which I believe it same. My build thread will have the info on it when it finally gets here. -Kyle

Man, another wd stolen in Washington! Maybe I should look into an alarm for my rig... Thanks for the post Kingman. -Kyle

Okay, finished reading your post and actually searched those part numbers, and i'm really curious to see if your radio is the same as what i pictured, because i cannot find ANYTHING that show Nissan equipped the 04 with sirius. Look on your driver door jam, look for its birthday, should show month then year, somewhere near the top. i'm curious if Nissan started selling the feature right at the end of the Pathy life or something like that. Sorta what they did on my pathy with the adjustable suspension option.... Looking forward to hearing back!! -Kyle

Are you sure its a Factory equipped thing? Because from the pictures of the radio i have seen, the FSM i looked in, and from looking at the 04 sales brochure i have, i see nothing that would indicate a satellite radio.... Here is a shot of the 04 platinum factory radio for reference. (same for 4X4) I did, however find this: http://store.xmfanstore.com/complete-sirius-install-kit-for-nissan-infiniti.html But its not compatible with the R50's, so i'm guessing you might have some like it. Could you post pics of the radio you have installed (if its different than whats pictured above), and maybe some of the units/ wiring you're working with... -Kyle

Those Japanese certainly know what they are doing. Lol Glad you got it figured it out. -Kyle

Installed my MOMO Elgrand optional steering wheel!!! -Kyle

Unless you turned into Hulk and managed to control yourself enough to focus on tightening the strut nut, rather than smashing everything, i'd say your fine. I just got done replacing the struts on my dad's MY02 Acura TL Type-S, and i just went with the German torque spec for the strut tops, "Guttentite". Took it for a test drive, rode fine, no obvious bind in the steering, or strain on the system. -Kyle

Hold on there Rebel, I'd agree with you that "most" 31's will clear on stock height. But do mention, some run into strut clearance and need spacers or new wheels. Also from my experience with my duratrac's had some rubbing issues. I had to cut holes in the inner fenders, and they eventually ripped the front mud flaps off, so generally 31's fit, but there are a few tires that love to be a little annoying. lol Just making sure the airways are clear on this beaten to death subject. -Kyle

I believe I have found some nismo shocks and Springs that will fit. That's about as good as good as it gets in my opinion, as far as bang for buck, yeah it's not that, not that at all. Lol -Kyle

On my 3.3,i bought it with 100k, and at probably about 140, I really starter to notice the clutch dying. So assuming it was never changed, I've gone 145 on an original clutch. -Kyle

Or a junkyard. -Kyle

Awesome glad you got it figured out. Post a pic of the screw, see if we can figure that out. And as far as the name, no don't have a Ferrari, probably never will, don't really like them (except the Daytona). But when I was about 12-13, I made it as a joke and trolled a couple people with it on RCuniverse forums. But I used for a few more forums, and I've just never got rid of it. I've been recognized on other forums as a result, so for that reason, I kept it. -Kyle EDIT. But they do make a Ferrari kit for the Z. Lol

Huh, weird, I was under the impression that all 01's were free of the early Gen, ZENKI stuff, but I guess not. Anyway, pull the radio bezel off, on the early dashboards there are two screws at the bottom of the bezel, and then the rest is held in with pop clasps, I have found it best to grab right between the front vents on the top of the bezel and give a nice smooth jerk and the whole thing should pop off. Disconnect the wires for the misc switches, and then start pulling the radio, it's just four screws. Once that's out of the way, look toward the bottom left of the opening where the radio was. You're looking for a small, yellow, tan ish arm (move the vent select to help find it easier) and look for any obstruction in the arms range of motion. That's generally what caused my issues. Again, that's how to do it for the early model dashboard. The one with two symmetrical vents in the radio bezel, if you have a triangular shape for the vents (maybe with a clock on the middle) then you have the newer style dash and I don't know to take that one apart, if it's different. Hope that helps -Kyle

Which 300zx and which box? -Kyle

And it has manual knobs for the HVAC? -KYLE
