Hmm, have you tested it out using a different gauges? What brand and tire size are they? I personally never had this issue so I'm not to sure of the causes, otherwise just go back and complain, they might just give you new tires, but if all 4 are the same, maybe this is a common issue? Or that just the way they sit

Oh then you got nothing to worry about, your on a good road, protect the autos, I went threw 2 before I did an auto to standard swap, never installed a cooler thou, I just like standards better anyways. It will look nice with the little lift, looking forward to some pictures!

I'm sure it will be a bit stiffer but nothing major, looks better without the front lean lol all it really does is tilt your wheels, when I did my last pathy I had to raise it 3inchs, it was a tad noticeable, but I took it to a shop the next day and did a rotation and alignment plus my tires were less than 10k old. If you didn't bump it up a lot and you got older tires, I wouldn't worry about it until you get new tires, just be warned!

You might want to consider getting an alignment done after you crank your tb's, you will wear your tires more if you don't.

Hahah oh boy, that is good lol i like that, shotgun Shell switch. Anyways my question is location of the light under the hood and how it handles the heat, curious cause it looks like it sits ontop of that air intake manifold thing. I'm sure you've done your homework and its a non issue but have you drove it around, no melting? Personally I have a couple pressure switches and I was thinking about trying this, but ill one up you with 2 lights lol one mounted on either side of the hood, just thinking might light up more area in the sides of the motor? Just an idea, but I really like what you have done!!

Lol well I know I won't be doing an redline clutch drops, I guess it comes down to how I drive it, if I'm rough on it, well ill be replacing parts. If I drive it, for lack of better words, smart, ill be able to extend the life, basically I'm counting on breaking it lol Just curious here, I know the h233b is 61" while the Dana 44 is 63" for axle length, what is a Dana 60 for length?

Welcome!! Glad you like the switch over from your jeep. What do you find better between the jeep to nissan just to compare them? I like the Cherokees but they are a lot weaker from the pathfinder, but aftermarket parts are easy to come by for jeeps unfortunately. Glad you decided to join you'll find next to everything you need to know on here! I know i have.

Lol, that ain't no stock scooter hahahah

I will have to look into that fleurys, but I am going to swap the internals out, and upgrade that way. I assume the parts I would get would alrighty be treated, but doesn't mean it would be useless for other parts, thanks!

Damn that's a lot of info, I like it, thank you very much slartibartfast! I would just like to quote this... Dana 44 Ring Gear: 8.5" Axle Diameter: Axle Splines: Nissan H233B: Ring Gear: 9.17" Axle Diameter: 1.31" Axle Splines: 33 (on the Xterra) Ford 9" Ring Gear: 9" Axle Diameter: 1.33" Axle Splines: 31 *Pinion has additional bearing for support which adds significant strength under load. Dana 60: Ring Gear: 9.75" Axle Diameter: 1.50" Axle Splines: 35 It looks like its a bit better than a ford 9", and in-between a d44 and d60, so a 44 is out of the question. But the issue that got brought up is cost.. I'm looking to locker it, upgrade shafts etc, and aftermarket parts are expensive, question is, how expensive? I have the axle, stock of course, but the cost between getting a d60 w/ locker, splines and shafts (shortened) would be threw the roof compared to expensive aftermarket parts for h233b? I never looked into the cost as well as shortening a d60, it might be out of my league. Also, anyone upgrade to 33 splines? That might be a good option as a Dana 60 is 35 And lastly it seems like twisting and bending due to high torque and high hp, well if I throw the 4bt in there... High torque And I also want to dual tcase or something to lower the crawl ratio (I want to be able to walk faster than my truck in its lowest gear to give you an idea lol) it seems like you can add bars or something to it, I didn't read too much into the details on that, to stop it from twisting which sounds like a must for me.

Oh that is cheaper than I thought, that it defiantly worth it. Luckily on my pickup the box and cab are perfectly parallel, but I'm sure being a 87 I'm sure there are week points. Thanks for the info!

Hey guys, I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I can't seem to find it, anyways what are the options for strengthening the pathfinder rear axle, h233. I have a parts 95 xe-v6 pathy and I am doing my 87 pickup project including a cummins 4bt swap! Kingman gave me the idea to use the h233, instead of a shortened Dana 60 (would save me quite a bit of money) now my worrys... Will it be strong enough to support the torque of a diesel, almost double the torque of the v6, I know it's stronger than a Dana 44 and I have seen people use them with the cummins motor, in short I'm paranoid lol Anyways just looking for specs, personal experiences, upgrade options, and how hard is it to find gears for it to lower the ratio. Thanks guys!!!

Oh really, that would make things a lot easier, if you don't mind me asking about the cost? Unless you had a friend who does this lol, I bet it wouldn't be too bad with a torch and a grinder but that would take time..

Very interested in this!!! I might have to ask a couple questions!

Haha oh yes, go monkey!!

The sad truth of ifs I just want to cut it out and throw thermite on it!! Lol same with auto hubs!! Buuurrrrn!!!! Can you tell I have had issues with these lol Thanks for the info there ezlife!! I'm going to have to get on the computer and check those out

It's probably an assuie thing, or special order? I have seen a Toyota hi lux something like that, looked cool, right hand drive Diesel engine, but your ready for it... Aluminum heads!!! Garbage!! But like you said it's a newer engine, seems like a lot of companies are doing diesel options now, f&@kin f150 has an Eco diesel. I'm sceptical on newer engines (matter of fact newer trucks) everything is electronicized and its becoming harder to work on or false info!!! Aka electronic short (maybe I'm just not learning with the new age) I trust mechanical, good ol hard wire lol Damn, pathfinder, bulletproof motor (up to speculation), surprisingly and rediculous stong tranny, tcase is the size of your torso, nissan rear tougher than a d44. Damn that's a solid truck!! Now time to do something with that IFS... Unless you have some facts for us kingman lol

They make nissan diesels? Hmm research time... And that not a bad price, cummins is cummins and it cummins with a price (clever eh?) I'm still saving up and researching, still open to changes

Holy bananas!! 500! Never would have guessed, and I know the rear diff is tough but I don't know, I'm having trust issues lol, although I do have my pathfinder, I could steal the rear diff... But I'd have to convert it to leafs which shouldn't be hard, cheap too cause its free! And then I could always build my d60 for a swap later on or when it breaks. Food for thought.. But still, 500! I'm having a hard time believing you, but I trust you kingman

No problem!! It took me a lot of time to find someone who has done it in a nissan, but he actually found me! I started a thread asking questions on my 95 path, starting the research stage and he started giving me pointers and reality checks lol But now pathy is off the road (hit and run while it was parked) found the pickup and jumped on it. I haven't done too much research on any other diesel motors but you can't beat cummins power! Sorry guys Imma nissan guy first then dodge diesel power! My budget is going to be close to 10 - 12 grand, but that includes front 44 Dana (or equvilant) Dana 60 rear 6-8 inch lift, small body, flat deck, donar truck (with 4bt, most likely delivery van) turbo, etc etc, huge list!! Basically new truck minus cab and frame lol it's not a cheap swap! Warning about the nissan trans and tcase, even though nissans are built tough, with a turbo your almost doubling the torque, consider upgrading! Plus you'll need a new bell housing and such, I'm sure you know this. Good luck!

What turbo diesel are you going for? I plan on doing a 4bt swap in my 87 hardbody (since the pathy is parts now ) I know an excellent thread/site for doing 4bt swaps, started talking to a guy who had done it to his 87 hardbody too (great for me! and that thread is very detailed) but the pathfinders aren't too different from the pickups so I'm sure it will help you out tons!! Here is the forum: http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/forum.php And the thread: http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?21670-1987-Nissan-Hardbody-4bt-swap&highlight=Nissan+hardbody

Body lift I assume, it seems like it was always ment to be, you have 2 joints and eventually they will open, has anyone tried to weld a straight piece in? Eliminating joints?

Regeared, 4.27? If I recall correctlyBut still, that's a lot of weight! I'm worried about throwing my 31 mud terrains on

Yeah i only got a tiny 4banger in my 87 with standard, gears... No idea, defiantly a difference from my 95 pathfinder, but then again I'm going on sound, pathfinder no tac speedo works, hardbody no speedo tac works lol Lucky, I got clocked doing 90km threw a 50, warning, then next time, ticket, ticket, ticket, ticket, now I drive like a gramma lol I learned my lesson

Did you have the 4 or v6? Hell I couldn't imagine running any bigger than 31! Although I have seen someone with the 4banger running 37's and Dana 44 front and rear, don't know how that thing moved lol but I can't wait to upgrade... 4bt *droool* A 100?! Mph of course, lol when the pickup gets going it gets going hahah just give it sometime... Or a hill lol
