Well that one got sold out from under me but thanks for the responses. I did find a 01 xterra with no issues so ill update ypu guys when i look at it tomarrow or monday

So about 2 years ago i picked up a 97 pathfinder an joined this incredible community here at npora you guys helped me with alot an after i was told it was going to cost more than what my pathy was worth to fix its evap issue i took it off the road an used it as a mud toy. Now after 2 failed chevys im looking at getting back into a nissan suv. I found a 02 xterra with 109xxx mile for $1850US the body is pretty much rust free but has a dent of the passenger fender. That dosent bug me what dose is the onwer told me the steering pump whines when its cold out an it has a tick by the exhaust. From what iv resaerched its prolly a cracked header. Is there anything else i should watch for when i go to look at it an test drive it. It has the 3.3v6 an auto trans. Will the manifolds from the pathys 3.3 fit the xterra? For a lil under 2 grand at 109xxx miles i dont see ot not being a good deal but i dont want to get stuck with another toy in a year.

So without major engine work a cam is about the only thing i can do motor wise to increase hp so on to the trans im guessing a torque converter but i dont under stand quiet what they do to choose one Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Nit worried bout acceleration just torque as its a mudder only Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

So the euro cams from 4x4parts.com are .360/264° and the hd cams are .440/260° im think if i cant find the exact ones that are listed im going with the euro cams Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

[Nissan Motorsports we added a set of their #2 off road cams to Project Pathfinder. The cams have 264 degrees of duration and .430] Anybody know where or how to find these i searched online and got jack Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

So thats good and all but im lookin for the vg33e not vg30 Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

I tried searching but with taptalk its impossible to search and find what your actually looking for so the next time im at an actual computer ill have to search for it Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Ok so what cams did u run and whats ur exhaust setup and did u have to get it tunned afterwards Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Okay so what cams are u running and what type of exhaust setup and did u have to tune it Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Has any body tried to put the frontier or xterra headers on the pathfinder cause i would like to do that Also is there any way to go to a carbed setup with a stand alone gas and ignition set up as it being a mudder im not worried about mpg Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Well a few months ago the vg33e started blowing white but last weekend i ran it and it didnt blow smoke so idk i was considering the swap but now that it stopped im ganna stick with the vg If i was to pick up a vq motor: 1. Would my drive accessory's work on it 2. Would my trans work with Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

So i recently sold my 2 camaros because i didnt have space so i now have money that would of gone into that motor to put into the pathfinder as its my only toy now so i was on 4x4parts and i see for the 3.3 they have euro cams and high performance cams which ones would be better for a mud toy build and what other mod would get me more horse power other than forced induction I already have a more open exhaust and cai(soon to be a diy snorkle) Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Where they hub centric or lug centric wheel spacers? Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

So its been awhile but with the nice weather iv been wheeling the pathy in the woods at my aunts and the last time i started her she blew thick white smoke till it warmed up alil before that it didnt over heat or anything Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

Yeah i gained maybe 1mpg or 2mpg and a lil power. I also did a more open exhaust and a throttle body spacer. But it does sound pretty ba when i hammer on it Dont do a throttle body spacer it didnt help much of anything i just got a good deal on the one i have Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

this is mine but i ended up reruning it but i dont have a pic of the new way Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk

that's what I thought thank you

So I havent been on in a while since i gpt a new vehical but the other day i went to mud the pathy(all its good for since it wont pass smog) and i had no power steering had it when parked in december i have it a little but not much so where is the power steering fluid fill spot?

Mine blew the top house thing on the radiator and i forgot to say you have to unhook the fan shroud

Mine did the same i think but it's super easy you unhook the hoses and unbolt the 2 nuts on the top if yours is a r50

It makes right around 285hp but it does have a could air intake so it could be about 290hp So it just a matter of time befor it gets put up there haha

So this is what i ended up with a 2000 gmc Sierra step side z71 4.8 vortec 5 speed manual it has 2" of suspension lift and a 3" body lift and sits on 35s custom grill and soon to be custom headlights and tail lights super clean interior and it has 148xxx

So ... Yesterday i noticed a crack in my new glass :-( and i still have yet to get it inspected so i will be parking the pathy till next summer as i don't the have money to fix the window and i smelled burning oil back by the exhaust so i will not be on in a while im looking at a 06 xterra with 85000 miles or a 05 jeep wrangler with 75000 that are the same price so good luck to all here with your projects
