Fixed this issue as well. Turned out to be the PCV valve was sucking up oil stuck in the valve cover baffles. What a stupid design. I had to buy a new valve cover and PCV valve. Its apparently a temporary fix.

Fixed this problem. Ended up being a leaf stem stuck in the blower motor. The blower fan stays on for 30 secs after you turn off the truck.

Its blue smoke. Thats very interesting. Any way of verifying that oil is getting into the intake without ripping it off? Which valve cover does she need? Do newer Pathys come with them? Part number?

My sister's 2002 Pathfinder will smoke badly one day and then not smoke at all for 2-3 days. Then go back to smoking so bad it fills up our garage with smoke in a matter of seconds. Local shops can't get it to smoke for them even if they leave the truck idling.

Thanks will do.

Definately not exhaust. Sounds like a solenoid clicking repeatedly.

There is a rapid ticking rattle coming from the passenger side firewall in the engine bay AFTER the engine has been turned off. Sounds like a solenoid. Rattle lasts 10-15 secs and stops abruptly. What is this?

Ok so the driver side slipped right in. Easy. Only took an hour. The passenger side interferes with...EVERYTHING. Lots of accessories in the way and lots of stuff would have to be re-routed. Its not impossible. Just not fun to do. The shop doesn't have time to take on a project of this magnitude right now so I will have to re-book for next month. Or I might do it myself if I get bored. Shop estimated about a 3-4 days to do it. Both headers clear the firewall no problem. You just take the cats out and you can see everything. Its the lines on the passenger side that make it impossible. For now its a no go but I will try again.

They are a prototype. They are modified 350Z headers. Basically taken a 350Z header and shortened it so it doesn't interfere with the firewall...as much.

It is when everyone claims headers can't be installed on the VQ35DE Pathfinders.

VQ35DE Headers, 2.25" Magnaflow high flow cats, and 2.25" dual exhaust goes into the truck on Monday. Cross your fingers and hope everything fits...

Clean your MAF sensor.

Thanx guys. http://www.nissanhelp.com/Ownership/Bullet...2/NTB02-033.htm

90 Octane Mohawk?Husky gas with ethanol. truck gets about 260 kms from full to 1/4 left.

On my rear wheel drive Camaro the drivetrain loss is about 15% and I've dynoed it a lot. I'm guessing its over 20% with a 4x4.
