Thanks ahardbody. I'm checking out a few jdm's on ebay.

I found where Nefarious said the write up was on here but I couldn't find it even using the search term he suggested in another topic. I messaged him. I'll let you know as he lets me know.

Oh and if anyone is interested I have almost 8,000 miles since I replaced the 1 bent valve from the timing belt braking. Still runs the exact same, lol.

So after a little more then a year I have decided to bite the bullet and do the engine swap. I have an 88, 5 speed. 3.0. I can't find the write on up on the engine swap for my truck. I thought I remembered reading that I could do a 90-95 3.3 swap fairly easy? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I found jdm 3.3 for 700 bucks. Will I need the ecu? I really wanted to do the diesel swap but I'm afraid it will end up being a long pain in the ass project.

Who is the member on here that was selling oem parts?

So I put a new cv axle in my 88 pathfinder today. I noticed the shocks and ball joints are over due. I know this truck has some type of adjustable suspension. Where would I buy comparable shocks? I checked online and the parts store but they just sell gas shocks. Is it possible to keep this system? I usually wouldn't care but I know when i'm in soft sand if I flip the switch to sports, it really helps with wheel hop. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I could maybe see a TPS in Short cuasing this. Your on the right track. The computer is reporting the failure, not the problem. I would check all inputs. Maf to o2 sensor.

Your a techie Nerd. and yes, I said that becuase I'm jealous. Nice

lmao, priceless.

I had a cheap filter on it in case i has problems after doing the heads. It was parts master or something. I replaced with a an stp. Now it builds fluid within a second or two in the morning and instant the rest of the day Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

I was having a problem with the truck a 4 or 5 seconds to build oil pressure in the morning. Put a new oil filter and it's good to go. Now to start the research on a body lift so I can pull the engine and reseal it.

http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/36075-pictures-of-the-timing-marks-88-vg30i/ Here is a picture of the cam marks I used. If I remember right I thought the distributor was off, but it ended up being that the electrode inside the cap does not line exactly up with where the spark plug wire attached. It was something along those lines.

I would like to have a 4 door. I would really like to have your truck but right now it's not in the budget. I don't think my problem was even the mechanical fan. I was short on water. I just went ahead and put the electrical fan for those times I dip into some water. I plan on putting it to a relay that I can kill so I don't wear out this fan under water. We are almost done with my friends z71 and then I plan on doing a little more to the truck.

Flush the cooling system and changed over to an electric fan. It now takes forever for the truck to reach half temperature and never goes over.

How about I just drop my truck over at your place for a few weeks, lol.

Swapped out the grille from the one I have with the lights in it to the Hardbody grille that I painted (was Chrome, Thanks to EZlife for the grille !), Truck is close to the house and there is a car behind it so I had to take angled pics for now, it looks pretty good and no more gap against the corner lights Looks good. What are you going to do with the old grille and hella lights? I did not know that grille would work with pathfinder turn signals. I didn't use it cause the chrome signals that came with it were much wider around the edges. I figured if you used the grille you had to use the turn signals, lol.

Saving my change for a bubba rope. I seen one in action and it seems that you could pull out a full size truck with a tricycle.

The suspension is very forgiving. Every time I drive through mud it just seems like the truck slides along. No matter how deep the wheels go if one of them can touch anything it will keep moving. It's definitely not for pulling heavier trucks out. I have did it twice and both times I was simply beating on my clutch and snatching harder then you should. Calibeater I am learning this. We have a place out here called no mans land. I have it made it most of the way across without falling into anything serious. Everyone says they haven't seen anything bigger then an atv make it in years. lol. Maybe with a little more experience and popping the pins like you said I can make a name for the pathfinder.

Last weekend I crawled St. Francis hill in Ocala National Forest. Most of you guys could probably do it on a big wheel but it was a first for me watching the driver rear tire hover in a hole while I continued to crawl forward. Later I took an alternative path next to a 300 foot long canal. I was the only one who had that option because the the alt. path was so thin and eroded. I gained a lot of confidence.

Sorry to hear this. Maybe you can vinyl wrap it?

Met up with ahardb0dy and got my new headlight. Then spent about 4 hours in the Ocala National Forest. FWC snuck up on us from the river and advised us not to be tearing it up out there. Luckily we were not. Great trail riding out there.

Put a drop of water on the hood, then use your finger and rub the water around with your thumb applying as much pressure as you can. If the spot looks shiny then you may need to buff out the hood. You can buy LIGHT buffing compound at any auto zone exc. Get a couple terry cloth towels and put your elbow brace on. The compound will turn black as you rub it into a 6 inch area. Take a clean towel and scrub it till all the black comes off. Now it should be shiny. After you are done with the whole hood wax it and keep it waxed. If you can't get the hood shiny with water or compound then you already need clear coat. The bad part is if you have the hood painted it will never exactly match the fenders. If you want it to match you will need to paint the whole car or find a shop that will do a fade. They will paint the hood, dust the fenders and then clear coat all 3 panels. Buff the rest of the car to match the fresh clear coat. Alot of shops will tell you this is substandard work but quite a few reputable dealers paid me to do it and I gladly gave a 1 year warranty in Florida's sun.

Took the alternator apart and freed up the stuck brush. Drilled holes in the housing for the brush. Maybe now the dirt will wash out instead of staying behind the brush. Relocated the computer to the glove box. By relocated I mean I cut the back of the glove box out and crammed the computer in there.
