    Pathfinder 97 Temperature

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Maybe the connection is bad. The sensor is super easy to access, its the single pin sensor that sits on top of the thermostat housing, give that connection a clean with a wire brush. 

    If that doesn't produce a change, try pulling the cluster, inspecting for any bad or dirty solder joints on the coolant gauge. I've heard just brushing the joints can fix problems, but a fresh solder job is most likely the best long term solution.

    Coolant Leak

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I think its rubber on the 3.3's, they tie the heads together, and run into the upper intake finally ending at the heater core. Total pain in the ass to get at without taking the upper intake off. My only experience with them is having to futs with them is to get into the V of the engine to change the Knock sensor.

    Oil light on warm starts

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Have you ever changed your sending you unit? I cant remember if the sending unit attached to the oil filter housing is related to that light, but i figured its worth mentioning.

     

    Our cars are getting pretty old, maybe that sending unit is showing signs of its age (Again, assuming that the oil light and the unit im mentioning even talk to each other).

     

    I changed mine because it was leaking pretty bad.

     

    How regular does the light stay on? You mentioned only when its warm? is every-time you start it warm, like clockwork or does it vary?

    bad tach

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Sounds like you know about this stuff.. like his tach, my odometer is on the fritz and rarely shows mileage. Most of the time it’s random numbers and partial digits jumping all over the place. Is there a known connection issue I missed while I had the cluster out? Is there anything I can do about it?

     

    Thanks

    Unfortunately i don't know much of anything about the digital ones. My 96 was the analog type. That being said, i would still pop the cluster out and investigate Just be gentle, you don't have to be like art dealer gentle, just be mindful that there are some delicate piece in there.

     

    Take the tachometer and odometer assembly out from the cluster housing and look around for some messed up solder points, should be crusty, black or not there at all.

     

    Other than that, i cant offer much specific knowledge about the digital clusters. sorry

    Just re-solder the connections on the back of the tacho assembly itself. There is four main and obvious connections that you resolder after you remove the assembly from the main cluster.

    Coolant temp gauge jumping around

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I had issues similar to this on my 96, however, it was my tacho that was jumping around like crazy.

     

    all i did to fix it was re-solder the connections on the back of the tachometer assembly (you need to disassemble the cluster to get access to the solder connections). Not sure if this can be done on the fuel or coolant gauge, but i can confirm and faulty connection has caused similar issues on mine.

    Land Rover rear lift spring install

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I rode in TownDawgR50s rig a week ago both on pavement & with a notable off-road workout. I was very impressed with the tightness of the ride, without being harsh. Admittedly Im comparing it to my 106K OEM setup but it really felt great. I had worried that 6 of lift would make it feel kind of sloppy. Not at all. I do expect that it doesnt hurt that he has kept his anti-sway bars. That day has convinced me that 6 isnt unreasonable at all. Along with his Lokka, that truck is a monster with finesse. Great fun too!

     

    Noticed the same quality ride with my recent ride along as well.

    Common Leak points? 03 LE

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Hey guys quick question

     

    I haven't got my new 03' road worthy just yet, and it seems that mother nature is slowing me down on that venture. I recently came out to see a mess of mold covering the interior (seats, console, steering wheel, you get the idea)

     

    I ripped the interior out and found some standing water in the drivers side foot-well. I originally suspected my cracked windshield but after placing a towel right where the crack appears and find it dry after a heavy rain, im back at the drawing board yet again.

     

    I'm thinking sunroof drains might be clogged but i don't see any evidence on the headliner or the a-pillar. That being said it seems that the source of the water seems to lead toward the front left of the driver foot-well.

     

    Anyone have any other suggestions or first hand experience with this sort of thing? I really want to get this fixed before i fully put the interior back in (After a thorough clean first).

     

    Thanks

    I think I'm the first one to have the 9447's installed (although I could be wrong) but everyone who ordered hoping for 2" of lift is gonna be in for a surprise haha, mine gave me about 4" from where I was sitting before. We'll see how much more it settles but so far I'm pretty stoked with how it sits. I posted more pics on my thread if anyone wants to see.

    Random old drone video i remembered i had.

    in General Forums

    Hey guys!

     

    I just found this old video and friend of mine made when he first got his drone. I took him to the construction site i was working on and we played around with some of the features. At 1:05 we did some object tracking and use my pathy driving around the site, made it look way better than is usually does. :laugh:

     

    Thought you guys would enjoy!
