Thanks for the help guys! Also I should ask because I was hesitant to mess with it too much. Does that fitting unscrew from there? Or is it sandwiched by washers and nuts on both sides? I will definitely be looking into sizing so I make sure I find the right fitting so I don't end up ordering or buying a bunch of junk I don't need. Edit: the 3/8 fitting they had at fastenal started on but didn't want to thread on more than a couple of turns so I did not force the issue.

That's a stepping stone towards finding something... Fastenal had a bunch of jic but no an. I will look into that. Still probably going to have to go to junk yards though... I love these easy "looking" projects

So I wasted my day off yesterday trying to fix a PO f up. So the previous owner replaced the radiator and jerry rigged the auto trans cooler lines going into the bottom. There are supposed to be barbed hose connectors to go to the lines. This guy took air hose and hose clamps and made something work. Napa, fastenal, and other stores couldn't help. So I'm going to be calling around to junk yards to try to locate a 96-99 r50. Can anyone with an auto trans tell me how those house barbs are attached? Mine has... A 3/8 pipe fitting for but the threads were different. And a 1/2 inch nut was too small and 5/8 nut was too big.... While trying to find the thread/size. Napa can get me a new radiator... And Nissan shows I can replace the bottom section of radiator. Don't want to do that if I don't have to... So before I head to a jy does anyone know if there is actually a fitting that screws on??? Or whether my time would be better spent buying a new radiator and tracking this guy down to kick him in the balls? Lol jk. Also looks like my maf might be bad. Clean it and it runs nice... And slowly gets rougher after a few miles. Had a code pop up yesterday. So I have to run that before I go buy a sensor but I'm guessing that is what is the cause of that issue.... Oh... And this was used to splice one of the air hoses onto the original line... Yes. I found that jammed into the trans cooler line... Edit: spelling

I understand that!!!

Probably letting air in before your o2 sensors. Causing them to show that it's running lean. And dumping extra gas in to compensate.

I can't find anything local. I'm in the land of the big 3. I'm lucky if I can find a pathfinder in a jy. And the z? Forget it not in this state. I usually start looking for parts online and if I need something now I go to the parts stores. End up paying more but my wait time is 1 to 2 days rather than 4 to 5. Agree on the jerryrigging. My best so far was using hinges and random bolts to make my steering wheel puller into a crankshaft pulley puller.

The o2 sensors should sort that out. I will know once the parts get here. But I'm waiting on shipping... Because I'm unwilling to spend double the money at a local store where I still have to wait a couple days!

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to change the left due to the amount of gas shooting through the system. I will probably look at the one on the right while under there and replace it if needed. I can always send the unused part back. Edit. Excited to be back in possession of a pathy again. Been away for 2 years almost to the day of buying this one. I will have to make a new welcome post. This one looks to be in great shape. Not much rust at all. Fluids I have glanced at have been clean, front end and suspension is tight, brakes are good, and it's got 2 fairly new tires. Once I get it running properly I will change filters and fluids as needed, replace the cracked windshield, and do something to make the paint less faded and sunbaked.

I'm just going to order both sides. It's got 268k miles. Chances are they are both bad or the right side isn't too far off from failing too.

So I just bought a 96 for fairly cheap. I know the guy I bought it from so I believe what he told me about the vehicle. He's only had it a couple months and didn't do much with it because of a project on his 240sx. He told me it had a cel pop up right after he bought it corresponding to bank 2 o2 sensors 1 and 2. So I plan on replacing both of those. Driving it home I did have characteristic sputtering to o2 sensors not functioning. My last pathy had a bad one when I first got it. But during the long drive home I noticed a greasy sheen on the back window and on the windshield of the other vehicle. It appeared to be unburnt fuel. I was getting terrible gas milage. And the residue does not look like oil and it's not coolant. So I'm assuming it is in fact gas. So with that much going through the exhaust I'm assuming the bank 2 cat needs replaced. While I'm at it how do I check the other to make sure it is good or not? Any quick tests to see if it is bad or should I just err on the side of caution and replace both cats? Also the cel did not come back on during my drive home. But it still was sputtering and running poorly.

Looks a lot better! I will have to do that to mine sometime soon!

Both? Tear into it and see which one if not both.

I was looking into this a couple months ago and came across Monstaliner it is another roll on type that does not use the rubber spiky bits. Looked good to me at the time... and they have stuff you can color (don't know how well the color would hold up in the sun). Another option.

This is why you live in Texas... haha

Fairly easy. Agree totally with the rusted on part... I recently replaced mine and this is what it looked like underneath... I looked at that and literally said "$%^&, how is that coming out..." I used a lot of penetrating oil... just spraying it on and letting it sit then repeating. Take your time if it is stuck in there it will eventually come out. I also borrowed a tool from my cousin (not sure on the cost) that was an O2 sensor socket... slips over the wires and sits in there perfectly... made the task so much easier. Once I got it to start turning (not an easy task) more penetrating oil and time... Came out fine once I broke it loose. The new one went in so much easier than the old one came out. Plus this is where I was working. But my Z was in the garage... couldn't exactly put that outside! lol
