  1. Manufacturer Part Number: MECM-V260 A1

    Emissions: Federal

    Transmission: Automatic

    Drivetrain: 4x4

    Engine Type: 3.0L

     

     

    From an eBay posting for a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder ECU

     

     

     

    (unrelated) RedPath88: what are you doing up at 2:13am??

  2. Alrighty: so that available space measure out like this. With the exhaust and driveshaft in place and leaving 1" of space for clearance on all sides. That leaves little room for plumbing and venting. We have a maximum of 9" vertical 13" wide and 20" long to fit a tank. Total volume is 8 gallons minus the volume for the tank itself. Brackets can only be mounted on three sides ( two in the front) because of the driveshaft. The only thing under there next to it is the floor and that isn't strong enough by itself to hold one end of the tank safely. Access to the fuel lines that run inside the frame remains a problem with the tank in place. Other than those problems there are great places to mount the tank in front and room to work. A rock guard will remove another 1-1.5" from the vertical height and increase the weight and we would be back to the same "reinforcement/ safety margin vs. additional volume of fuel" problem. There exists the possibility of a conjoined tank ahead of the cross-member but its volume couldn't be more than 1.5-2 gallons at most.

  3. What about a fuel cell, like these?

    Ive never gotten down there with the intent of measuring the space for fuel tanks, but im sure you could find one or fabricate something that would fit...

     

     

    I'll be happy to take some measurements later this week when I have a few minutes (off of my Auto 4x4 Pathfinder, just in case you were wondering ).. . and post them!

  4. I wouldn't be worried about the mpg.... I should think you would be more worried about the strain on your shoulders and back muscles trying to get the thing ON the roof. Try it with a couple of bags of sand. You'll see what I mean.

  5. I've heard of it being done with other vehicles and a couple of mentions in the forums here but there is no "how-to" on installing a secondary fuel tank. Of the few problems you might encounter are equilibrium (left/right), fuel tight seals, proper venting and suspension upgrades to handle the extra weight. Internal is going to be baffling orientation (to keep fuel from sloshing around) and filtration issues. But I can say that I was thinking about it as an idea and decided that with the extra total weight of tank, brackets, nuts, bolts and fuel I wasn't so sure that the frame was going to enjoy have another 150-250lbs of stuff slung in the space between the wheels on top of all of the usual junk in the truck need for an expedition. Frame reinforcement was the one problem that I couldn't figure out how to work around.

     

    If you decide to go for it and install one I, for one, would love to see some pictures and a how-to if you feel up to it!!!

  6. Ahhh.... is that a 2.7? I ask because I've changed my alternator and there are three bolts, two electrical connections and one belt.... no oil on a 3.0 v6 alternator. Since I have worked with banjo bolts a lot I know a good seal is very important ( I've been covered in hydraulic fluid more than once because I didn't confirm that the seals were good ). If you've moved the banjo bolts at all there is a chance that the seals are broken.

  7. Okay, so I'm just back from the truck: the good news is that three out of the four windows will go up and down from the driver's switch, the only window that doesn't is the passenger front. No movement at all. I assume that this is because the 240SX is a 2 door and on some models both windows go up and down at the same time.

  9. I had a matter black Stumpjumper back some years ago that I got very dirty... and never got it clean again. I just assumed that it was the grey clay that is around here, not the paint itself!

     

    Bushnut, is your current machine matte black?

     

    JackStraw1: I do like the camo as an idea but my wife will have me shot for painting it that color.

     

     

    I also Pitched the zebra stripes, straight black, straight white and the Desert Runner scheme... none seemed to garner anything other than, scoffs, derision and "the look"...... I think I'll pitch the matte black stripe on red body and see what that gets for a reaction on Monday!

  10. AstroTurf... hmmm.. I have seen that done. Not sure about how easy it will be to wax each strand though.... ( aerodynamics are important after all )

     

    I have leanings towards something like this, matte black with red:

    Or easier repaint, red body with matte black stripe?
