    wondering what a mechanic would charge to replace one of my fuel injectors...i guess the part itself is cheap enough,but getting to some of those on the right side of my fuel rail (under the intake manifold i think) look tricky to get to.....

    hello....been off for a bit,new job,stuff like that.....so far i have added:rear shocks,front struts/shocks,yakima q towers,48" bars (q clips ordered,and on the way from R.E.I),and i am going to splurge on the 2" ac lift,as well as new lights for the front and back (next week) then new tires in about a month......then i will have a go at the engine....none of this is installed yet,but it makes a nice pile in my garage,and it will all go on once i get the lift and the q clips......thanks for all of the sugestions!!

    Starting to feel like it is an uphill battle to sort my pathfinder out.It seems like a bit of a deadzone in terms of what you can and cannot obtain in terms of lifts,either suspension or body.i can get spacers for the front,i can get 3" lift,i cannot get 3" lift,i should get neoprene spacer,i should not get neoprenee spacers,my head is spinning,and i think,even though i have money in my pocket to spend,i think i will just get some standard shocks in front,which i need ,and call it goo...

      krfabs.com it will solve all your problems man. the lift itself is a four inch but you can modify if to go to about six but then you have to start changing more parts.

    I think this was the genesis of the problem,really low fuel and the system started to balk...thanks for the input!!

      I think jon may have it figured....lack of fuel may have caused an issue with the injectors........

    Welcome......:-)

    Welcome from a fellow newbie!!
  16. gubbins
    I so appreciate the advice EXBRIT,and i am going to take it and get the lift sorted....no,the Pathfinder is not in mint condition,but i do fancy a set of sliders....still budgeting for tires too! So is it you that has the radiator fans? I like that idea,esecially given the heat/dust/temperatures out here....also,do you keep a spare that is the same as the 4 tires on your rig,or a donut? Please forgive my dumb questions,but i am mildly obsessed with getting some work done on my Pathfinder! Also,is it necessary to get different shocks for front and back?
  17. gubbins
    Well i made some fantastically witty and incisive comments last night,about all manner of worldly things,and yet i sit here today and see that they all got scrubbed and are now out in the ether somewhere!! Ha,only joking.....thanks again.definitely going to do sliders,upgrade to 31" tires,front shocks,a couple of new lights on the front......
  18. gubbins
    Thank you all very much for the info......there are so many options on everything that it is dizzying.i like the idea about getting sliders,as i have watched some videos of people out on the trails and those things get called into action!i have a newer radiator,and i did know about the 2" lift.Not going to budget for a subframe drop yet.:-) i have also read that some people like to keep their CV boots on as it protects against dirt,yet still other folks who have them removed!i think that i will inspect mine,and depending on if they need replacing i will leave them on.....yes,tires and lights,very practical.as for the tires,it seems like one can pore over which ones to get and then really not know if they are truly the 'right' ones until you are riding on them....... Dd you guys purchase sliders or do custom fabs? Thanks to Rick13,theexbrit and Stinka.you have made me feel welcome,and i will post pictures of what i do and have done! I watch as much EPL as i can.i am an Aston Villa fan,so usually end up disappointed,even though we scored a nice win vs. swansea this past weekend......

    Yes i think i have become Yankified too! Really like living here,even though the political claptrap is reaching a boiling point,and it is insanely hot in Phoenix....i have only been to Croydon once,and i do not rcall why,but have been in and out of Gatwick a few times....i hear the same thing about England,that we are too soft on Illegal immigrants and all that......i have been back about 7 or 8 times since 1994, .....so you are out in the O.C. As it is sometimes referred to,eh? Loving it are you?? It is awfully pretty in coastal California,i was just up in La Jolla a couple of weeks back,hard to stay out of the ocean!Any tips you have for me,i. Terms of getti g my 1999 pathfinder up for the challenges ,let me know! Best to you!

    Yes,the west coast is beautiful,stinka,and i believe there would be no shortage of mud,creeks,trails,rivers and hills to traverse!I have been here since 1994,which means i have endured 18 Arizona summers,which are laughably hot and brutal....have been having pangs to go back to live in Europe with the wife and kids,but not England......not in a bitter,snarky way.I love my cou try,but i am all for trying new things i suppose,hence me wanting to get geared up and go out in my pathfinder with some AZ locals!
  21. gubbins
    Hey Stinka,thanks! I am an Englishman living out here in Arizona,looking to get out and about with some of these good folk.....tha ks for the input!
  22. gubbins
    Hello from Arizona! I own a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder,and i am looking for some sage advice about upgrading from stock so that i can enjoy a few of thes beautiful trails here! I know that it can manage some trails right now,but chronologically,what things should i start to add first that are essentials,and what things are added but not necesarily essential? I will be driving it every day,and i am not looking to be wheeling in the most technical of areas,but after doing research it seems like i need : skid plate,roof rack (rather keep my spare above than below,where it is now) Diff Lockers,lights,maybe a lift,maybe not,maybe bigger wheels,but i want to keep it fairly streamilined like some of the rigs on here.I know there is a wealth of information on here,and when i am up and ready i would love to go out with a couple of you guys and gals! I am a married dad of 2 so i do not feel the need to impress or show off,but it really looks like fun to be out on some of these trails,plus i LOVE MY PATHFINDER!! ...Cheers
