Download the FSM on NICO club and go to engine section and just go to the index and it should list the codes you are looking for, it's a good place to start. I know nothing about VQ's but that's where I want start. -Kyle

That is crazy, must be the seal on the back of Master and it's getting pulled into the diaphram, maybe your booster is fine its just master has failed? -Kyle

Technically you're suppose to disconnect the battery ever time you replace something electronic on a car. It's not the end of the world, but it prevents accidents and inadvertently does what you said. -Kyle

Yeah, I'm going to try my hardest to keep that. I just need another set of S13 plugs before I can try and see if the new Custer even works. And I bought another digital cluster too. I think I'm going to try and wire these for S13's and make some extra side money (saving up for a skyline). But after the preliminary test just Ned to order the Dakota Digital parts, make a board to mount them, and hack up my dash (may have a pro do this, not sure yet.) and she's done. I did find another thing out about my ignition wiring. Somebody has all three ignitions running to one ignition on the car. Is there any worry of putting too much current through the wiring? -Kyle

DONT BUY MOOG!!! Thats all i can add, i bought their end links and they blew out within the month. -Kyle

I agree with the power. I found someone on Texas Nissan's who put a full run down on how to install it into a 240,and he put the same pin as ign or power. And tell me about it! Yeah, I think I'm just gonna leave it. It's close but the fact that a ton of people say it works is good enough for me. Lol Yeah probably I probably want that. I really want to retain as much of the original functions as possible, so I'll probably run a line up for the cigarette lighter, if that will work as that? And on the grounds. Even the VSS and all that wold be fine sharing a ground? Just as long as it's a good solid ground, Like the steering colum? And voltage regulator? I have no idea, I'm assuming so, I have read no mention of it on the treads for the 240sx swaps. Thanks for the help. -Kyle

Anyone else? i need some help guys. -Kyle

Good idea, but do you have a suggestion as to how to have it installed? Because i was able to find some thing out,(All info provided from FSM's) NX fuel sending unit stats Full ~ 12 Ω 1/2 ~ 33Ω 0 ~ 76Ω Pathfinder Full ~ 4-6Ω 1/2 ~ 30-34Ω 0 ~ 80-83Ω And single cam 240sx's that people say work fine (1989-90 MY) Full ~ 4.3-6.3Ω 1/2 ~ 27.7-34.3Ω 0 ~ 73.3-84.8Ω People also report it working on later model S13's (1991-1994 MY) Full ~ 4.3-5.8Ω 1/2 ~ 27.7-34.3Ω 0 ~ 78.3-84.8Ω So i think i may just try it and see when my fuel light comes on, I usually am touching or on "E" when i hit 230 miles to the tank, so i guess that will be my metric to go off of. -Kyle

Oh forgot one thing, The NX cluster has a wire that iv'e labeled, "Ignition with ACC ON". Are any of you aware of a wire that can act like this behind the dash, like immediately to the cluster, or am i running my cigarette lighter up there for a trigger?

So here is another project that i have had long in the works and now that all the parts are together, i am in need of some advice. I want to put this AWESOME NX1600 Digital cluster into the dash of my pathfinder Before you ask, im going Dakota digital to get speed and Tacho working, the NX and the pathy share the same coolant sensor and for whatever reason my early pathfinder is different i have an NX one, and it uses the same plug as the pathfinder. The only thing i haven't figured out is the fuel gauge, that will be my next task once i figure out how to make this whole thing work. Now I've got most of the tricky stuff figured out, thanks to some helpfully wiring guru's over on Zilvia.net. i just had a couple of questions on what the heck certain wires do. First is some of the pathfinders wiring, What exactly are pins 15 and 11? it shoes that 15 goes to the speedo and 11 goes to illumination but as what? ground or power? i'm really not sure... The wiring colors aren't much help, pin 11 is pink and green, and 15 is white and black Here is my service manual reference photo. Also, you may notice that pathy has 1 illumination +, 1 illumination ground, and 1 ignition wire, The NX has SIX COUNT THEM SIX!! grounds ranging from high beam light ground, shared turn signal ground, a general ground, 2 illumination grounds, and a speed sensor ground. And has 3 ignition wires (Which i'm assuming act as power? ) and finally 2 illumination positive's, one for the back lighting and indicator lights and one for the digital unit itself. My question is, can i run all of the six grounds to one nice thick gauge wire and then ground it on the steering column or something? Also since the NX is going to need more power than the pathfinder cluster, can i run all of the ignitions to a relay and then use the pathfinder ignition as trigger? AND can i run the illuminations off that same relay? or is it better to run a second with the pathy illumination acting as trigger? Thanks for the help. -Kyle P.S. it does "Fit" in the stock location, just needs some massaging to get it to fit right.

I did what he said with the thermoplastic boots, when i was planning on lifting my rig, but be prepared to make a HUGE mess, i did this rebuild at my buddies place and for a few months we were finding evidence of the work (i.e. GREASE) and when he moved out, we found a bunch more, so this is your warning!!! -Kyle

Do you have a copy of the factory service manual? It can give you a great place to start. But generally ABS lights on our rigs are attributed onto malfunctioning abs sensors down by the wheel hubs. Check for breaks, corrosion, anything like that. -Kyle

I bought mine second hand, and the red trim had started to fade, so I masked and wet sanded with 600grit then did 2-3 coats of dupli-color matte black trim paint. -Kyle

They all had red trim around the lights. I thought the same as you, thinking they were color matched, but they were all red. Looks good putting it to black. -Kyle

Looks like my matte trim idea is catching on. Lol

Looks good! Welcome to the forum, GO HAWKS!! -Kyle

Agreed, it's more a pain than function but it looks REALLY cool. That's really all it got going for it. -Kyle

I have something similar through Shell. Literally 3 minutes from my house i have a QFC (food store) they offer a program where you can save up to a dollar a gallon on gas. For every hundred dollars you spend at the store, you save 10 cents per gallon within a months span. Sounds like a bad deal, but i spend maybe $50 (at most) a month there, and my parents do alot of of their shopping there. , it gets even better when they only fill up at the Costco gas down the hill (mom has been working their for almost a decade and a half and i just started working their a week ago, you could say we are fairly loyal) so they just let me have their savings!! The most i have ever had off was 70 cents. plenty of food stores in my area have it. Apparently Fred Meyer has something with Texaco? and while coming back from California in my buddies BMW, we stopped in Oregon (somewhere) and had them fill us up, gave them his phone number and poof a dollar off a gallon. We got 92 Premium for like $2.76 a gallon!! -Kyle

Awesome!! Glad to hear it!! -Kyle

So get a muffler that is roughly the same size at stock? We can still increase the piping size, correct? I ask to confirm my thinking as this was the route I was planning on going. -Kyle

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANDY! I've been wanting to get input on this for a while!! If you have an exhaust on a VG33 i want to hear exterior and interior audio, i want to do my exhaust soon! -Kyle

Probably could have found a local dude to just weld it back together for you. Probably would have cost the same as buying the used pipe, but either way, you are just cementing why i am glad not to have a VQ, lol Glad to see your keeping another pathy on the road! Keep this updated please, i enjoy seeing these updates. -Kyle

Why the recall? Do they self combust to prevent us all from looking at them. jk... -Kyle

No its not perfect but it's close, but I'm a ways out from converting. -Kyle
