TowndawgR50, If you find 2, let me know. I'm just up the road in Redmond with an '02 LE and would love to do it. If you only find one, I would still be happy to help you so that I will know what to do with mine at a later date.

I've got an extra just sitting incase anyone wants one, its missing the latch mechanism, but should still be good otherwise (got it off a wreck so im not %100 on its condition.) Im just in Fall City, only about 20 minutes away.
I had no idea there were so many R50 owners on NPORA so close to me! Really want to see Town Dogs now.

Hey Guys!
Hope everyone is doing well.
Well its been a while since i have posted anything mainly due to work, but pathy decided she wanted some attention today. The bearings on the water pumped decided to not work, and just explode, made the most terrifying sound!
I have already ordered a new OEM water pump, along with some OEM rad hoses and a new Gates timing belt and tensioner (might as well). I figured i'd start ripping into her while she was down and do a little inspection, since it had been quite a while since i had done one. Glad i did, the radiator end tanks are so soft and brittle, the top hose connection completely sheared off while removing it.
I did a quick search and found that while an OEM radiator is outrageously priced at $500, aftermarket ones are much more economical. But being the aftermarket, not all are created equal.
So does anyone have some suggestions they can give on some replacements they have had success with. Maybe even an all aluminum one?
Thanks guys.

Definitely want some info on a diesel swap, if anyone has done it. If the QD doesn't work out. Try and get a ford 7.3 in there! Or even better the 6.7! Haha

Ahh yes!! Another drifter making his way into the forum.
Welcome!
I'm excited to see some of the JDM mods you are planning, sound like a lot of the stuff I want to do. It seems that you already have the low down on some of the JDM sources but I might be able to help track down some parts should you need a hand.
Again, welcome!

That's the WJ bumper mod. Just search WJ bumper and you should get andy's original post about making the bumper fit and some in depth photos.
CDN also posted some when he did his mod, don't remember how in depth he went but it's worth a look seeing how he went about mounting it.

I have torn my Rockford CV boots. They are not bullet proof.
Really? Dang talk about an egg on face moment.
My apologies for the misinformation

Well with how cheap these cars are getting, buying an auctioned off wreck is definitely the way to go. It helps having a complete car to work with, removes a good chunk of the guess work.
Copart is a huge insurance auction company dealing in cars and have tons of yards all over the country. I know of atleast 3 in Washington state alone. And we're talking acres and acres of land and thousands of cars!
I can try and point you in the right direction should you choose to go that route, might even want some parts off ya. I have personally never bought a wreck but I did a lot of research into it and my uncle hits up the yard atleast once a month (the dude has got a problem for sure. Lol)

Just go Rockford. There have been zero issues with those who have installed them. They cost a little more but are built to a higher standard.

all models of R50 pathfinder will allow for an interior swap, I've got door cards from an 01 in my 96 right now. Other than the huge hassle of converting the window switches it was a bolt on affair. Seats are the same thing, I think you can even swap power seats (the cushion parts) to manual frame if you prefer manual like I do.
I day dream about buying a wrecked late model and fully converting it all over to my 96. maybe one day I'll actually do it. Lol
Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I did think of that and i can run the plate on the inside of my windshield if i need to. however i am going to be getting the xrox bumper for it so i may cut the grille guard off it and set a light bar there. I am still a ways from being done. IT NEVER ENDS LOL
I've tried doing that, it's not something police in my area are really worried about, but it's not technically legal.
If you want to get really trick, they make show and drive plates that are manual or automatic. they can fold out of the way for car shows and then fold out for driving.
That would be cool to see.

So spent 4 hrs yesterday at the junkyard pulling this dash harness...all I need is the trans wiring and 4x4 switch wiring but it's all intertwined soooo it looks like I'm probably replacing mine which I didn't want to do...I can't keep my manual shifter lever so I'm gonna install a metal plate where the 4x4 shifter lever used to be in insert the new switch like so...
Block off plate?

The plate you mentioned in this post, the one under the shiftier assembly, you were referring to that right?

I was under the impression that the XE stock 15s wont hold the 31x10.50's for safety reasons?
The stock wheel back spacing is fairly rotten, if I had been running my duratracs on my stock SE wheels. The spring perch on the struts would be hitting the tire, probably so much so you couldn't actually bolt the wheel on. Some people run spacers to help push the wheel away, giving it a more aggressive look and fixing the tire contact problems.
If you look in the wheel and tire thread there are few pictures showing just how close the tire gets the spring perch, even after getting new wheels.

New or old a loose belt is a loose belt. Take it back and have him tighten them properly. That'll take care of the squeal unless there is a bad bearing somewhere.
What he said. I have had my pathfinder for almost 7 years and have changed my belts atleast 4 times within that span (everything but the ps belt. I think I've done that once) but this last time i was fed up of paying OEM belt money. I bought some gator back belts, and all new tensioner and pulley. She purrs now.
But I did the big change at 155k and the A/C pulley bearing definitely wasn't healthy. I think I paid around $60 for an OEM pulley and an aftermarket tensioner. Worth it in my opinion.
I'd say if you keep getting belt issues, maybe it's time for some new tensioner and pulley.

Head back to the junkyard and get the block off plate from the car you got the harnness from. It should have the correct plate. Grab the gasket too!
Glad to see your making progress on this. Post up if you have questions. There are more than a few geniuses on here who are willing to help.

Haha, you bet.
Your first gen r50 was actually my initial inspiration.
Seriously? I'm quite flattered.
Thanks
