Anyone have any experience with this exhaust? Can't seem to find an intake on any of these sites though.....

I was trying to remove the hose that's connected to the PCV and it snapped... Tried ordering this but it looks way too big to be correct http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C2S91S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anyone have a part number for this? Thanks

Ugh I ordered a new starter relay from amazon part number 25230-89981And what showed up is nothing like what is inside the engine bay.... where can I find this part?? Should I just go OEM? I can't even seem to find it at the dealership.......

Yea unplugging it didn't do much which may mean that the o2 sensor is toast and by unplugging it the ECU doesn't seem to notice.....? Also noticed my main relay housing is cracked...... not the relay itself the thing that the relay plugs into. Going to have to find a way to replace all that crud without breaking the bank! Anyone know what that grey plug is right behind the battery? it looks identical to the one that the o2 sensor plugs into... mine has nothing plugged into it though.......... /offtopic>

Yea the roads where we were didn't need 4L unless I was on some of the less traveled roads or some of the very steep hills going up or down. Anyone know where the plug is for the o2 sensor? letting the truck cool down and going to try and unplug it to see if thats my problem. I did turn on "power mode" instead of full auto which helps some but the engine used to feel much stronger regardless of what gear it's in. Maintenance done so far: timing belt water pump all new belts new starter new intake manifold gaskets new valve cover gaskets new brakes new shocks new springs new bushings new tires & wheels oil change / trans fluid change new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor new fuel filter and air filter All of this was done in the past year or so... The only things remaining are: Fuel pump fuel injectors oxygen sensors MAF sensor What else am I missing?

They are 265/75/15 BFG KM2 on 15x8's... I was seeing this problem before I changed the tires so I think my o2 sensor is toast or maf... just gotta figure out how to replace it!

I guess I should replace my MAF & o2 sensors since I have them handy.... just unsure if the MAF plug & wiring is still good though.

Yea this part of the country looks familiar for hundreds of miles in any direction which is amazing

Yea this is BLM land near bakersfield...

Thanks this place was great! kind of a long drive though.

Nothing too crazy... and yea I did use 4L when I was climbing and descending steep hills off road... but when on the highway it seems like the trans always wants to use the highest gear it can unless I force it.

FYI the 4600 series are also on a national back order so I had to get these (which are the 5125's)

Bilstein 5100 Front: PN 33-230405 Shock Length 16.4” OEM Front Shock length 13.6” Bilstein 5100 Rears: PN 33-230320 Shock Length 24.5” OEM Rear Shock Length: 22.85” These are the shock I bought which bilstein said they'd fit with a 2-3" lift... without a lift you'd have to get shorter ones so call bilstein to ensure that you order the correct length! The front OEM shocks are super short but with these it gives plenty of travel. Going to order some UCA's so I can reduce the tension on the torsion bars and get a better ride / alignment as the truck wants to wander all over the highway making me look like a drunkard! lol

Well the cost isn't really a problem. The problem I'm having is I'm forced to turn off OD when going up hills even on the highway... When I was wheeling over the weekend, in 4h, I'd have to put it in first gear to climb some of the steep hills otherwise it would try to stay in 2nd or 3rd unless I floor it which I shouldn't do off road hah!

Sounds like a starter relay to me... same thing is happening with mine.

Looking for something that won't make the truck too much louder I just need to be able to squeeze more juice out of this motor. I took the truck off road and with a full load and a few people it has trouble climbing the hills on the freeway without turning off over drive... which I find frustrating when cars get behind me trying to pass and I can't keep up with traffic! Do the doug forley and borla exhaust add enough power that's worth the money? Thanks guys!

Action shot! Today's trip up to the desert near bakersfield... so much fun! It just needs more power! haha

haha yea I'll have to order one... using one of the good tires / rims from the OEM set for now... the spare in the pic doesn't appear to have been used much if at all.

I spoke too soon! it was on the drive back from putting on the new tires and the tires were brand new and squirrely on the road. It freaked me out at first but now it runs strong! I was trying to change the PCV valve and broke the 20 year old hose that goes to it and I also ran some more seafoam through it. Now its great! Also swapped the oil and trans fluid. Runs pretty solid now that the tires are broken in!

thanks guys! I appreciate it! This thing goes over curbs and parking blocks like they are speed bumps now haha do u guys think I need to do aftermarket UCA's? It does have a bit of wander in the front end. I think the guy that did the alignment was having trouble getting it to track straight.....

nice! Here is the pathy with the new ~2.5":

Anyone recommend getting aftermarket UCA's? I have the aftermarket torsion bars cranked up but its pretty stiff in the front... any specific recommendations on which ones to get? I have about 2.5" lift in the rear. And how exactly does the UCA's provide lift? These? https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/pathfinder-upper-control-arms-p-142.html Or these? https://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/nissan-pathfinder-upper-control-arms-by-superlift-1987-1995-2534-lift-p-36122.html Thanks guys! I'll post up pics tomorrow of the results it looks badass!

yea I measured the fender before the springs went on (32") and after almost 35" in the rear. On the front I had the aftermarket torsion bars but they had to crank them way up to get the truck level. Also put on longer shocks and hoping they're not too long as they were pretty tough to get installed... Would an aftermarket UCA allow for more travel on the front suspension as well as save the ball joints from wear? Thanks
