    Pathy On Steroids - Malaysia

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Are you kidding? I love the way my Pathfinder runs and scoots around fairly quickly but given the option, I'd have no trouble swapping out the complicated, heavy, shoehorned in, VG30 for the dead simple and straight forward Z24 engine that he's got there. Whatever he doesn't have in power is made up for in simplicity and ease of use, lightweight and probably a little better fuel mileage, I'd guess in the low 20s around town. That thing will probably literally run forever.

     

    You got that right. Its simplicity at its best. Room for tweaking. Even enough room to run a turbo at the right boost pressure.

    Petrol consumption is good too. Especially considering i'm running 33's. No figures yet. But i can do it over this weekend.

    But i know for sure the consumption is far better before the mods & power tweaks.

    I'm jealous how clean and straight forward that engine bay / layout is, it looks like he could just about rebuild the engine right there sitting in the truck! Look how easy it would be to pull the exhaust manifold, but at the same time IT'S NEW!!! Hah! Thats the best part, it's not an old corroated nuts and bolts and miscellaneous parts you'd be working on from the early / mid 80s. How big would the power and efficiency deficit really be having a carbureted engine instead of computer controlled and mapped fuel injection with the repair headache that brings?

     

    The power of the Z24 is nothing to shout about in terms of top speed. But its a very torquey engine.

    You can climb the steepest hill with just a little bit of throttle without the need of ramming/flooring it.

     

    The carburetor has never given me any problems thus far. I guess its about proper servicing & how you handle your right foot on the gas. Many of the Malaysian Pathfinders (Terrano) have been converted to Nissan's SR engine variant. SR20 DET as an example.

     

    While these will fly high on the freeways, it will be useless during offroad as u have to rev it very high to get the torque produced by the Z24. But the Z24, if tweaked & tuned well, is more than sufficient.

    Wow! That is a fine lookin Pathfinder! Looks great Roy, how long did this entire project take you? Does this model have coil springs in the front? Or does it still use torsion bars? It was hard to tell in one of your pics, there's a shock in the pic right next to a coil spring with what looks like one of Fleurys HDPE coil spacers, was that on the rear? The lift looks fantastic.

     

    You guys over seas have such a completely different engine and driving dynamic than us with your Z24 engine and carb setup in a 2000 SE year model! Haha! I love that. I like your wheel and tire combo too, looks great. How do those Bighorns ride on the road, are they rough and very loud? Outstanding truck Roy, I know you're a proud Papa just now.

     

     

     

    Thanks!

     

    Project took about 7 months. Uses torsion bars upfront. & yes, the coils are on the rears.

    Those bighorns are amazingly quiet with superior qrip on dry & moderate conditions but on wet surface, i surely take it easy.

    But in mud, it performs well. The studs allow the mud to somewhat self clean so u have thread, not mud stuck in it.
