vagabond

where are you located, I might still have one

lol I just picked up another 88 and a 95 last week,now I've got 4, but the 94 is going to be a parts vehicle for the 95 and the 88

I've always pulled the latch rod out with the door handle, install it on the new handle then carefully reinstall it, I did one this morning it took about 45 mins. I did spend 17 years working on Datsun /Nissan products

It took me about 5 hrs to pull the loom off of a 95 pathy, and it would prob, take about that long on a 88. I ended up gutting the 95 of all the wiring and ended up with a wheelbarrow full of wiring and relays

my stock 88 tranny works with the 95 wiring and ecu it shirfts fine, the only thing I've noticed is on the 95 cluster there is a auto temp light and it's on all the time the ign is on

I swapped out my 88 wiring to a 95 when I installed the 3.3, the wire loom is basically one loom from the head lights to the tail lights, sub looms as follows inst. cluster door wiring, trans wiring, rear hatch, fuel pump and sender, alt loom, and engine feed loom. I think thats all If your lucky you might be able to splice in to the stock loom. but if it was me I'd go with a loom from an auto and while at it why not go with 95 looms then you could do the 94 95 rounded dash later frt door panels so forth so on

spent all day yesterday working on the 95 it's all together and looks ok, as I was cleaning it up I noticed the outer door handle on the passenger side is broken will change that out this morning, also drivers side rear door lock not working from the switch. will pull the rear hatch wind deflecter from the 94 and install on the 95. parts installed so far left frt fender, headlights, side marker lights, frt turn lights, grill, bumper, and valance? below bumper

looks good

sweet

bought the 88 and 95 that was in the for sale section drove the 95 home yesterday and started in on the bodywork, think I'll have it all back together tomorrow using the parts off the 94 for the 95 haha same color. the 94 threw a rod so I'll be using engine parts from it for the 88 maybe even swap out the mpi and dash from the 94

I've got an old snapon gauge set it has 4 different hoses never had a problem with #6 also a 5/8s 3/8s drive impact wobbly and if I remember correctly 3 3 inch extensions fit great on # 6 plug

and how heavy were the key rings, I've gone through two ign switches on my 88 and I have a heavy key ring, my wife's 95 still has the original ign, just the car key and house key, go figure

replaced the vacuum gauge with a trans temp gauge, kind of wish the a post pods were 4 holers instead of 3

there is a difference in the diameter between the 3.3 and the 3.0 you could swap the 3.0 crank over. Mr 510 isn't making them anymore I know I tried to get one. I ended up using parts off a 2000 exterra, oil filter base, alt and A/C comp, bracket Ps mount and pump. you could find a machine shop to turn the 3.0 pulley out to fit the 3.3 crank that would be about the cheapest way to go. you could try and get in touch with my1path think he still has a connection with Mr. 510 maybe get him to turn out a few more

what are you going to do about the crank pulley???

it's basically one loom from the headlights to the taillights, separate looms for the engine and dash rear hatch and fuel tank and center console. I upated my 88 to 95 electrical which was a major job. hopefully you can splice in the bad section. if it's burnt all the way to the fuse panel your in for a major job

very possibly the starter solenoid

Still have a few more things to do install the passenger side heated mirror, install the alarm module, figure out why the rear hatch release isn't working, and find a drivers side heated seat, and the electrical speedo is off 5mph at 70mph. I can't believe how much difference there is between the old 3.0 tbi and the 3.3 mpi

got the targa bar lights hooked up and mounted a couple of relays that were loose after the 88 to 95 electrical swap. 88 is back on the road with the 3.3. in her and is she happy with all the new goodies in her

drilled out the 95 vin and installed my 88 vin

THIS FOR MY 88 if you go with the 3.3 a few things to think about, ps and alt are swapped on the3.3. probably the easiest and cheapest way to go is have the 3.0 vibration dampner turned out to the 3.3 size. going that way you'll have to swap out the oil filter base from a 2000 exterra to get the proper angle on the filter and you will be able to use the 3.0 mounting brackets, or put the filter over the starter like the 3.0. I couldn't find a shop local to do my pulley so I swapped a whole 2000 exterra crank pulley and mounts, I did have to swap my A/C comp to the 2000 but the alt and ps fit alright. I wanted the rounded dash and I found a 95 pathy at pickapart pulled the dash and the complete wiring from it and installed it in my 88 also using the 95 intake and plemum and 3.3 injectors. It's been a lot of work but it's running and almost complete edit to add if I had to do it over I'd be almost willing to keep the tbi instead of the mpi

probably this part #80552-73P00 its the part that holds the lock rod to the door latch never mind did't read the whole post

I might still have the 1 out of my 88, I'll check tomorrow if I do your welcome to it just drive down to Elsinore and it's yours

replaced the starter and radiator on Mama's 94

back to pap yesterday got the crank pulley, ps pump, and ps pump bracket and the ps adjustment bracket from the 2000 exrerra that I snagged the oil filter mount and alt and alt and A/C comp mount from. got it all installed this morning on the 3.3, still have to get the A/C comp to finish the install.Was able to use the old ps reservoir just had to shorten the return hose I could have had my old 3,0 crank pulley bored out but the only shop that said they could do it was up in the LA area and it would run about $150.00. I might try and fire it up this afternoon
