I did the Knock sensor relocation described on the Nissan Fronteir forum. runs great no issues.

I'm running 31's on old legos for the last year, no issues.

Hey bro, I'm up in Bathurst visiting my folks. I'd love an excuse to see your truck in person but I don't think I'll have time to get down there. so close and yet so far. It would be nice to grab a pint and talk truck. maybe next time I drive out here we'll see. I've got some friends in Sackville I'd like to see too but I'm short on time and no wheels of my own.

any time brother...

one path one direction, just lock the steering wheel and go for it.....

one of the main reasons I lifted my truck was for increased load capasity. the IronMan Lift springs that I installed allow me to load 400lb over GVW. 4 adults 1 large dog and camping gear for a weekend has almost no affect on handling. fuel consumption goes up a little though.

did reverse work before anything was done? could just be a bad solinoid. any bad noise? have you checked all the connections?

Hi RC, To get to the point front CV angle is going to be your enemy. 2in is about the max that you can go without causing CVs to fail at full droop. (strut extension). brake line length again at full extension is a factor. wheel spacers are a less expensive solution than wheels with a different off set to run bigger tires without having any rub at full turning lock. just make sure you use your torque wrench. I've got the same model and year. check out my build thread some inspiration.

I've got a driver side QX4 fender that I installed, all the bolt holes lined up except the corner (signal) light is a different shape, causing a gap. (fixed with metal tape and spray paint) and the hood line does not quite a match the fender line. I suppose I could have shimmed it but, mine is a bush truck so I didn't care (much). at least I don't have to look at the cancer anymore.

if your knife isn't sharp you might as well use a spoon. A dull cutting tool is useless as well as dangerous as you have to apply more force to make it work, potentially causing it to slip and cut you. grab a file and sharpen that blade up mister. A machete doesn't have a hard edge so a file should do. I'll also have to add, in our Boreal forest an Ax and a good pull saw (Silky makes great ones) will do better than a machete (jungle tool) for quick trail clearing.

here it is for the record, though I might add another one that says "Adventure Mobile"

where in BC? Other than Vancouver, and Victoria most of BC is pretty rural. it shouldn't be hard to find a 4x4 club. oh and bring your mountain bike the riding there is fantastic.

the Pathfinder has more cargo room, though you will have to in either case get either stiffer rear coil or leaf springs to carry a "heavy load". I've got Iron Man coils that let me load 400lbs more than than stock gross vehicle weight and work quite well with 4 adults, 1 large dog and camping gear for a weekend. other springs you might consider are Old Man Emu (much easier to get) or AC (auto motive customizer) at 4x4parts.com.

crawl under the truck look for the linkages from the shift lever to the transfer case, spray the crap out of them with penetrating lube. then get in the truck and work that lever. Lots of time POs don't ever use the 4x4 system and the linkages get corroded or gunked up with dirt. once you get things moving. crawl back under there and use some spray grease to keep them working. word to the wise, put your truck in 4hi the moment you hit the trail. that way you are already in 4x4 before you need it.

welcome back to the family....

what about the rumors I've heard about using the rear LSD diff out of a Nissan Z in the front of an R50? not sure about which years but I read about it some where.

I know you replaced the rad, but have you pressure tested the cap? could be it's not sealing like it should.

now that you did your SFD, what are the numbers? ie approach angle, ground clearance @ front diff and at rear diff, as well as rocker height

just re-read your post...unless you've done an engine swap your 92 should have the vg30 3L engine. that button on the gear selector will lock out the overdrive. otherwise it is always on. when it is off the transmission will hold 3rd gear longer. overdrive is your final highway gear. when going up steep hills and the trany is hunting between 3rd and 4th turning off overdrive keeps the rev's up and steady on the hills.

have you checked the fluid level in your transmission?

got it, thanks man.

now I'm really confused...I was just looking at a custom built Krypton Fabs 4 in SFD and it and 4 in strut spacers as well as 4in blocks for the SF. Though I suppose that stock springs were to be used with this set up?

sorry it's hawairish

to make things line up you'll have to match the strut spacers to the SFD. if you look at the Krypton Fabs set up the strut spacers equal the amount of spacer blocks you lower the front diff with. read through Hawirish's set up.
