So I've been tracking my Pathy's gas mileage religiously for the last few months, and have come to the conclusion it sucks. No matter how I drive it, 13mpg is the very best I've gotten. Is this the average for these trucks? I've seen a few other posts on here where people are claiming 15+, but I sure as hell can't get it. Any ideas?
Let me give a rundown of what I've done, and maybe someone can help me pinpoint something to help me out.
In the past few months I've done plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel fitler, air filter, rear O2 sensors, intake gaskets, cleaned the MAF and throttle body. I am running 31in. tires and had exhaust put on, but niether has made the mpg change much. She runs good for a 18year old vehicle, just wish she didn't pinch my wallet so bad at the gas pump. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Thanks guys for the advice! I'd love to just go diesel, cause I'd much rather have the torque. But, as of right now just dreaming. I have to finish my SFD lift first and then start thinking about power.

Looking to get a bit of a hp boost out of my VG33E. Has anyone tried to retro fit a factory supercharger from a Xterra or Frontier onto a Pathy? If so, what kind of pain was it? And the most important question, was it worth it? Money and time wise?

I put a Pioneer Double Din Nav unit in my 96 pathy. It's touch screen and works well. Probable wouldn't have gone that route if I didn't get a killer deal on it but hey, why not? If you go with a single din radio, you'll get a cool extra pocket to put stuff in with the install kit.

Skimming through the owners manual. It does say it only flashes the turn signal lights. Bummer, but as least I know.

The alarm uses both the high and low note horns, *and* a theft warning horn. Interesting. I did not know 96 Pathfinders had a theft warning horn.
Thanks a bunch for the link. But, unfortunatly there is no horn chirp upon locking the doors. Oh well, peace of mind at least.
-
Three horns? There are only two from the factory.
Maybe the older years don't honk. Check the owner's manual to see if there are instructions.
Yep, I have a high, low, and alarm horn factory. I wish I had a manual, I would def. use it.

About to go program my remote i just got! Very helpful thanks
Did you happen to get yours to work?
-
I've tried it every which way and still can't get it to chirp. I even checked all three horns. Crazy.
-
Is there any way to make the horn chirp when locking the doors with the remote on a 96 Pathfinder?
-
When you made your strut spacers, did you make them flat or cut them at a specific degree?(Talking about the spacer between the two strud plates.)
-
Found this on another website looking at different ideas on lifting the ol' R50. Anyone on here seen or used these before?

Can we run true duels on these? Won't hurt anything?
I did on mine, haven't noticed any issues, but did get a little better acceleration I feel. Gas mileage is about the same, which is kind of a bummer.

So I've been pondering the thought of building my own roof basket, and came up with an idea at my work. Our warehouse sends us our stock order in these cages, that just so happens to be the perfect width and length. So, with a little negotiation, and a little modification, I think it's gonna come out pretty well. The pictures below are just my mock up (i.e. sweet ziptie mounts), still needs paint, lights, and accessories. Anyone have any ideas?
-
I cut my stock exhaust off. It just dumps off the header. Sounds awesome on the vg. ESP when you drop a gear and give it.
I had it like that for about a week, but was a bit much for me. I ended up getting the stock resinators (short glasspacks) and tips off a 2012 SS Camaro and used those as mufflers. Actually came out pretty well, has a great tone at idle, and not too raspy on accel. I'll try and post some pics tomarrow.
-
Did you custom make your SFD lift or buy it prefab?
-
Looks good! How much of a pain was it to get the doors off? Did you have power windows and locks?
-
Any preference of muffler brand? What sounds good?
-
Alrighty, getting ready to do some exhaust work, as the muffler has officially fell apart on my 96 pathy. My question, is there any reason not to go with a bigger diameter pipe compared to the stock system? Also, true duals or 2-into-1? Has anyone noticed a loss in MPG by going bigger? Thanks for any info!

After weeks of searching, I think I found a set of poly bushings for the front of my 96 pathy. Prothane makes a kit pt# 14-202 you can buy off amazon for $40! The kit shows both front and rear bushings. That's a whole chunk cheaper than 4x4parts! If im wrong please fill me in, as I myself will be purchasing this kit very soon. Check out the link and tell me what you think.

Here's a great article on a SAS in a 90 WD21 by 4wd Magazine. Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but here it is.

13MPG? IS THIS RIGHT?

Has anyone noticed a difference by putting an electric fan in place of the original?
