  1. I provided more than sufficient proof, people say 180+mph isn't possible in a pathfinder, I showed pictures, of course I realize that's not possible on the road unless you have an extreme tailwind and 5miles straight downhill but on a dyno it was done and my max on the road was today at 162mph usinga Garmin GPS as a speedometer going a quarter mile downhill then completely level ground, I lost power around 4,500 rpms with my long gears. People didn't believe my pathfinder came stock 4x4 with 215/75/r15 tires, I provided proof there, people don't believe 188hp is possible from a 3.0 tbi vg30i engine, I posted dyno pics, and to clarify to the one who said it doesn't say make/model, it definitely does, look after the jumble of words, you'll see NISS short for Nissan, followed by numbers representing pathfinder, v6, and 4x4. Evidence is posted, theres nothing more that I can show and also the slogan for the company that did my diff gears was Jaws axle and rear end. I don't keep receipts after taxes, as they're all mailed to my tax agent then shredded after she makes copies.
  2. You know I talked good stuff about NPORA to many people around town here, got a few of my friends here to join the site, I didn't want to believe what they all said was true, but they're right. I found this site and figured, hey this could help me, a site that's ran and operated and filled with people who love their pathfinders, well I was wrong, the people here are a joke to me, its full of very few people who know what their talking about all of which I now have personal contact with outside of NPORA. I thought everyone on here would act as adults, not junior high schoolers making fun of people calling them liars, jokes, fools, saying your full of @!*%, learn about what your doing before you speak about it. Sorry to break it to you, but not just me but my whole family has been in the mechanics industry since the 1908 Ford model T, so before anyone here accuses or makes fun of someone again, just keep in mind that they themselves may not have the superb skills as others here but they may have family that do, I'm a diesel mechanic not a gas mechanic, sorry that I don't personally pump up my car and have someone else do it for me. Oh by the way, ANY ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS SITE, CONTACT ME VIA MESSAGE IMMEDIATELY IN REGARDS AS TO HOW TO DELETE MY ACCOUNT FROM THIS SITE, that is if I don't figure it out myself by the morning time. You can thank just about everyone who's been commenting on this post for the loss of not just me but the 12 other people I encouraged to join this site. Farewell.
  3. 5th is about 1,000*/-1,100, 4th is 2,600
  4. $1,900 for the rear nobody asked about the front price I intentionally removed the door handles as a security feature (c'mon ask me how its a security feature) the mismatched wheels are because I mount and balance my own tires, I have to pay to have the old tires dismounted and just got new rear tires. First gear is a breeze taking off, and the rest are great too, as I shift with no clutch, that's only for first and reverse. And a car doesn't have to be pretty to have power and the necessary components internally I don't care about the exterior just yet that's going to be the last thing to be worked on mechanical always comes first you should know that. Any further replies from you (stalker) will be ignored, if you would like to speak off topic with me then you can private message me, thank you. This will also be my final response being off of the clearly defined above topic (Custom Headers).
  5. Yes I sure will ahardb0dy and also I'm not sure who was asking about my gear set but also it allows me to do 75mph at extremely low rpms and my top speed on the dyno was over 180 with picture proof, so that kinda says it all about my gear ratios.
  6. It was roughly $1,900 for the rear gears due to the inconvenience of the splines required to make it fit and yes I have horrible memory all the facts and statictics are from my records written down
  7. Local isn't referring to grass valley it was in Roseville and Sacramento I don't exactly remember their name but their slogan is "rear ends is all we do"
  8. I don't necessarily make a lot of money, I make enough to get me by and when I need extra cash I save up, and work lots of side jobs, I have to have at least one taxable job or the IRS would be on me all the time, none of my work is illegal its just not taxed, such as my custom fabrication work, I make things, and base a price off of the competitors, which usually is cutting their price in half or less, charge no tax and no shipping fees within the continuous 48 states, it proves to be very valuable to me and it works
  9. Gear ratios came from a local shop here that custom makes them to specification these gear ratios were matched from a jeep tj and the tranny gear ratios were calculated by the rpms vs how many times the tire spun through some equasion basing upon how many teeth are on each gear opposed to one another this was all done back in November of 2011 when I first got it, I wasn't happy with how it behaved stock so we did some minor modifications, spent a bunch of money to have the gears special made, swapped out the standard overdrive 5th gear for a higher ratio 5th gear and the speedometer part, it was a universal kit to correct the wheel speed to the speedometer it came from GMffor an early model bronco that still used the speedometer cable vs doing it electronically as the 91 and up pathfinders switched to, might I add that the speedometer cable housing, the little plastic piece behind the gauge cluster is a royal pain in the arse to find. And the way we got the gear ratios to begin with used all that calculating and what not, in phoenix, az they put my car on this treadmill type thing, strapped it down as you would on a dyno and hooked up their system to it to gauge the rpms, and it was also hooked to the drive shaft to output the revolutions to the rear axle then from there to the wheel itself and ran it through the gears pairing it with the rpms then dividing and doing s whole bunch of calculating to figure out my true road force gear ratio, it was a hefty process but when everything was said and done they showed me the results, I took note of them and went on my way, I'd love to share the name of the company but that's way beyond my memory span
  10. These are my gear ratios for 1-5th gear 3.83:1 first gear 2.33:1 second 1.44:1 third 1.00:1 fourth and 0.79:1 fifth gear I believe my rear diff gear ratio is 2.42:1 and tranny gear ratio is 3.07:1 I have just been corrected on the difference between high and low gear ratios as well, it seems I have a high gear ratio, as if I had for instance a 4.10:1 in the rear that would be a low gear ratio so I have a really high set gear ratio combination. Also I forgot to add that I do have the necessary components to correct the speedometer as well, but even if I for instance didn't have that then that would under my best guess mean my fuel mileage would be better than I thought, since I have the adapter for s larger tire size, my speedometer is spot on, I have tested this numerous times driving by various speed indicators around my town that the town police have placed and went different speeds to verify, and ky speed is correct.
  11. Ahardbody, the only modifications I have to effect my fuel mileage is an ecu chip, low flow fuel pump, consistent changing of plugs and wires, along with all filters, and en extremely low gear ratio. Those numbers came straight off my trip gauge everytime I filled up my tank the post about the computer was based on the computer the post about my road trips was using my trip gauge every fuel up.
  12. Also tungsten from your earlier post, I run 235/75/r15 which is larger than what came stock on my pathfinder, also an effect with my fuel mileage could be my extremely low gear ratios front and rear.
  13. I posted my full tank mileage on a couple of the trips I have made and also around town and throughout my 4x4ing adventures they are on this posting starts with the number 670 just have to look, they are all posted, from my low, to high, to my average, I have a 22 us gal tank and fetch high results somehow
  14. It's directly on the ecu as far as I know, that's the only place it fan be installed, as I said my uncle found it, he installed it, he did it all for me.
  15. The fact of the matter is that I'm not going to pay in excess of $600 for a pair of ceramic headers when I can easily fabricate them myself for $50-100 and continuously make them for the locals here in my town who have pathfinders, or hardbody pickups or just a vg30 motor in general, headers are simple and ceramic coating inside and out is even simpler, saves me money, and gives me the pure joy of using something that I made myself everyday of my life, hell if someone on here saw the headers af9ter I make them and is interested, I'd make another pair and sell them for $200 out the door, shipping included well, that is if its in the 48 continuous states, I like making things myself, and in time, id like to be able to make most of the support parts of the suspension myself but even stronger, welding is easy, bending tubes is easy, ceramic or chrome plating is easy, I have the knowledge and resources to do it I just haven't had the time yet, and my topic based upon custom headers has been blown way out of proportion and way off topic, its a shame that the topic creator can't edit and delete all the comments that aren't topic related such as my fuel efficiency for example, I added that note in there to further give an idea of the design I could possibly use to help increase flow to keep my numbers close to what they are not to be criticized on how I'm supposedly falsely stating my best guess at my fuel mileage, I shared my results and it should have been left at that or talked about elsewhere I know what "MY PATHFINDER" does and doesn't do, how it performs, and how efficiently it performs, basing all pathfinders as one doesn't mean anything to me, I have mine tuned to my liking, getting the power I desire and the fuel efficiency I like as well, and if the world still wants to call me a liar then good for the world, not everything on this planet that has the same name as one another performs or does the same as every other one of the same name, and if you don't understand that then your obviously not getting the right outlook on life, technology, and just everything in general. By using the word "you" I'm not referring to anyone in specific, its just easier than saying "the world" over and over again. If there's any confusion or disrespect with this by anyone I do apologize sincerely.
  16. It was chipped by my uncle he found the chip through his web database and it was apparently through a dealer through Nissan somewhere in Japan but not from Nissan directly, and tuned it to fetch max hp, max fuel economy he won't go into details with me quite yet, as soon as he does, then the words of wisdom will be shared here that's my guarantee. He installs the chip then further tunes the ecu that's all I know that's all he will tell me my best guess is tinkering with the air fuel ratio, and the amount of fuel that my low flow fuel pump sends, the guy is a wiz with ecus and tuning for optimal fuel economy in relation to power, I told him that I wanted more horsepower and better fuel efficiency, I got what I asked and I'm happy that's all I cared about.
  17. <a href='http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/cory9999/dynospeednumberone-20130116-234303.jpg'>http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/cory9999/dynospeednumberone-20130116-234303.jpg</a><br /> <br /> <a href='http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/cory9999/dynorun1-20130116-234300.jpg'>http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/cory9999/dynorun1-20130116-234300.jpg</a><br /> <br /> Two different trips two different dates, two different dynos, just under 190hp.
  18. It has slim to no back pressure, I blew out my cat and muffler several months back I often run a mushroom filter directly off my throttlebody rather than the pan assembly and I'm pushing almost 190 Hp definitely not running lean by any means and I don't have a flashed ecu I have a chipped and reprogrammed ecu
  19. Fuel mileage was tested by a computer rigged to my engine measuring fuel flow through the lines, rpms, and air flow, the tech set it up then told me it calculates through some equation that I didn't understand, then he got in and told me how to drive how I normally do which fetched average results of 20.6 mpg city, 28.4mpg highway, then we changed up the way I drive and went from speeds as low as 55 up to 80 which is what the computer is set to max at, the optimal was at 75mph 2,600rpms 5th gear then we moved tracks and set up for city driving stopping and going from speeds not exceeding 35mph but no lower than 15mph the lowest was 20mph at 2,500 rpms 1st gear of 17.3mpg high of 25.8 at 30mph 2nd gear at 2,100rpms
  20. Also my1path keep in mind I do have a modified ecu so the stock part of the ecu doesn't apply to me
  21. 670 and 7 tenths of a mile on a full tank was my average last summer my lowest was 540 and 3 tenths highest was 706 and 2 tenths, keep in mind that was solely freeway on a trip to Idaho, the low was a combo of highway and city on the way to Aspen Colorado driving around town here to and from work and the occasional 4 wheeling trip gets me an average of around 590-620 on a full tank if I'm solely 4wheeling my lowest was 437 and 5 tenths, taking it in and out of 4 wheel drive keep in mind I have a 22 us gal tank and a low flow pump and by freeway I mean my speeds were 70-75 the whole trip and city is varying speeds for me between 15 and 40
  22. I have no redline on my tach, but I have noticed at about 5500rpms a slight decline in hp but after going up an additional 1500 rpms to 7,000 it gives a nice kick of power although I do not reccommend testing this under any circumstances to anyone who thinks about trying this, you risk the chance of severely ruining your engine, I knew the risk but persisted with it just for test purposes, and for my specific engine (not saying all vg30i engines are capable) it was more than capable of those rpms with no changes in my daily driving performance, to this day I've only hit that high maybe a handful of times and I'm not doing it again until I fully rebuild the motor, and tranny as I have just under 317,000 miles on it and the fuel economy isn't that far fetched if your not hammering on the gas, ease into shifts and keep a steady rpm while maintaining your engine, and engine friction points regularly ie. Transmission, rear and front differentials, wheel bearings, make sure tires have correct psi, no brakes sticking, pretty much removing road friction from the picture you can easily get 30-32mpg from this vehicle, as odd as it seems and as much as you'll disagree, these vehicles are quite aerodynamic for being as boxy as they are, that was another thing I did was stuck it in a wind tunnel to test the aerodynamics of it and it proved over 75% meaning that 75% of the air that contacted the car went right over, under, or to the side with minimal restriction the less than 15% was due to the mirrors, hood/grille/bumper assembly, and of course the tires. Keep in mind I have no roof rack, no spare tire rack, just body. During the fuel testing the lowest I got was 19mpg and that was full throttle, balls to the walls, intake wide open, pretty much maxing my 188hp almost 200 lb-ft of torque for a mile. But just standard driving easing up the rpms, shifting at 3,500 then cruising around the track I started at 24.5 then it eased its way up to the max of 32.4 then went down to 30.2 and bounced from that to 31.4 and held it consistent for the whole of 5miles, of course this isn't realistic when actually driving going uphill downhill turning sharply, inconsistent rpms, shifting. But on a flat track cruising at 2,600 rpms, 5th gear at 75mph I was averaging 30-31 mpg at a constant rate.
  23. I don't know what all that optimal flow at low rpms means, I have stock exhaust stock everything except an ecu chip and my vg30i can safely hit and hold 8,000 rpms for a short period of time, I drive regularly anywhere between 3,250 and 4,000rpms and sip fuel at just under 32mpg at 188-190 Ho that whole low rpm optimal flow thing doesn't make sense to me.
  24. A lot of cars come with tons of back pressure due to the exhaust, ie, catalytic converter, stock mufflers, single exhaust, that's partially how you get such high compression not nearly as much as high compression pistons, upgraded cam, lifters, rods and such but it does play a part in obtaining more compression but I don't need hardly any for the application ill be having it for. I just off-road a lot I don't need balls to the walls power I want to get the job done and still have my vehicle sound good too, that's why I'm going with headers, high flow CA legal cats, and glass pack mufflers, which will result in very little back pressure but I like the idea of an X pipe I'm just curious as to wether ill have the clearance between my drive shaft and the body when ripping through ruts or whoops as I have a drive shaft from a mid 80s peterbuilt, its larger than stock, not by much but you never know what will happen.
  25. Hmm ill consider that x pipe idea it may be easier that way and still keep the back pressure correct but the firing order being wrong sounds obsurd due to the fact that right when I got the pathfinder it didn't have an exhaust period it stopped after the exhaust manifolds and ran like a top, no misfiring or odd sounds just sounded like a mean v6 of course it was completely illegal to drive that way until I got the exhaust pipes ordered and installed from nissan but nothing sounded or performed incorrectly
