Nice input. Looking forward to putting hubs on my truck soon. However I have found that I can get Warns for near same low price as MM on Amazon. Will probably just go that route. Sent from my Moto X

If you have a R50 body style. Just search for them under 1997. Should be there. Same body from 1996-2004. 1996 was first year of R50 body style and it did over lap with D21 style. There is a difference though.

Follow the fsm to set your timing. 15-17* base. Could be why your warm start also. If the cylinder are hot and your spark is too soon it can cause issues. Sent from my Moto X

Oh if you have a Harbor freight or Northern tools by you they have cheap multi meters. Not fancy but will work. Sent from my Moto X

Have you downloaded the fsm? That will help immensely. It should have a step by step process for trouble shooting those codes. On phone so cant link but ita a sticky in the garage section. As far as the electrical, it will probably ask for volt and ohm checks on some wires. Pretty easy to do. Sent from my Moto X

Two pennies super glued to each other than super glue em in place. What I did been goos for a year and off road Sent from my Moto X

Check battery terminal posts. After that, check and make sure the alternator is actually working under load. IE all lights on, AC full blast etc. May be bad, even after just 2 months. Some rebuilds do that.

Eating oil? hmm no oil in coolant? No obvious oil leaks? If not to those. Pull your plugs, if your bleeding oil past the rings, then they will be black and oily. Exhaust will also have a blue tint smoke to it. After that, check your PCV valve. Rest of it, not familiar with the 3.5. But wish I was, sorry. BTW, Be safe over there. From what we get on the news here on the Ukraine. Its not so good over there.

The cruise control brake switch? There is a rubber plug on the brake pedal that likes to fall apart and out. Can replace the plug, or tape n glue pennies in its place. What I had to do to mine.

Actually, in the FSM. There is a procedure on how to read the abs codes. Its like reading a old OBD 1 car. You count the flashes and tells you whats the issue.

If you have to replace the sensor. Start spraying it with liquid wrench now. Every day until you pull it. Mine was a bear and half to change. Metal cased sensor in iron cast knuckle. Rusted in there good. Sent from my Moto X

Pump it up to 150 psi and let it sit. See where it drops to. Should hold higher than a certain amount. Will be in fsm Sent from my Moto X

Base timing is 15-17* Sent from my Moto X

Grinding noise? I'd have them fix that asap. They probably broke the wire. Easy to do as the sensor is right on the knuckle. Sent from my Moto X

All city. Especially if its a large city like me in Miami. 12-14 can be avg. Stop and go just kills it. Sent from my Moto X

As for mileage with the 3.3 avg is about 15ish city and 17ish hwy. I have hit 20mpg hwy. But that was 65 set for a tank on flat lands. Sent from my Moto X

Ill reply more when home. But no need to replace the MAF and Knock sensor. Unless the maf is for sure sure 100% bad. Just clean it with MAF cleaner. If you have to replace it. The Maxima maf is the same and half the price. Knock sensor rarely go bad and is just a secondary code that pops with pretty much any other code that pops. O2 sensors only if bad also. The rest is good normal maintenance procedure. Doing it yourself is the way to go. Make sure to get the link in the garage section the FSM. Sent from my Moto X

Um maybe earlier cars that had the 3.0 or the quest maybe. Sent from my Moto X

I use Mobil 1 5w-30 full synthetic high mileage Sent from my Moto X

Transmission is probably the same. But maybe a transmission computer? Id as Alkorahil about that. Sent from my Moto X

Received my new intake parts from Alkorahil. Put them on this morning. Much better, the old intake rubber parts were broke, cracked etc. Plus hard as a rock. Here's the obligatory pictures: Old Parts New Parts:

There is a importer here in Miami than can get me a complete Nissan diesel engine. Harness, PCM all of it. However its just above $3k for it all. Which includes all the import duties and such. Which is just to much for me. Yea, it would be kinda cool to do. But I dont see spending that much. If I were to spend that much, I would shoehorn a GM LSx series engine into my Pathfinder. That or take it a guy I know that owns a GTR speed shop and he can retrofit a stock GTR turbo onto the 3.3l and tune it and all for about $4k.
