  1. i think the post fl r50s have a squareer bumper at the bottom where the pre fl r50s have a more rounded bumper at the bottom that gives the pre fl r50s the taller look
  2. mine are clear but i think they have the like edges cut in them for light displacement or whatever it is ill cheak tonight and i went and tried the head lights the mounts are slightly diff but with drilling in the mount it would work but they are different shaped and would need the for grill which will also fit with slight modification
  3. when i drive down the road anything that has good bass(sort of a basshead here ) and when im trailing i stick to hick hop yes hick hop if you dont know what it is look up jawga boyz , the lacs, lenny cooper, bottleneck, lowcash cowboys (all has good bass also) when i feel like breaking somthing though its usually some slayer or iron maiden and ilke to listen to earl dibbles jr. YEE YEE
  4. im running the zxe Sylvania's and they are much brighter than any I have tried but over priced if you got them off ebay for like 30- 40 bucks it would be a good deal
  5. on my battery the terminals are slightly bigger at the bottom and if its not down on the bottom it wont make a good connection resulting in it not starting
  6. your fine haha its fine haha well this morning i went to start it and it didnt start pulled the plug on the dizzy and sprayed that put it back in and it fired up so i guessing that was it for now im still going to spray the rest just to make sure
  7. even though it stinks terrible iv always been a fan of axe well i didnt have this problem before i did the belt so not sure if i would have this problem if this fixes it i like how we go from techie stuff to homemade flamethowers
  8. cool i always wondered what the wd stands for right now its almost white out so i will be spraying it tomarro if it stops snowing now which ones control spark? obviously the one that hooks to the dizzy and what else or should i just do all the ones i took off? and do i have to wait any amount of time before reconnecting the connections? if no do i have to wait to start it?
  9. did not know that haha looks like im going to autozone after work
  10. i have 32s on mine with stock chevy rims im not sure of the backspacing but i had to ge t 1.5"spacers to put on to clear the struts
  11. well i took it to different shop than the first one i took it to and they ran a diagnostics and found that my knock sensor was bad (already knew that) i have good compression and i have spark and fuel i was telling them how it hesitates to start when its anywhere from 10-15 deg but will fire up right away when its above 15 and wont start at all below 10 deg they are thinking when i did the timing belt (did it under a makeshift tent type thing i might have got snow or water in one of the connectors and its freezing and that's all they can think of as if my timing was off it would hesitate no matter the temp or just not start at all so im getting a hair dryer and going threw the connections i unhooked to do the change
  12. ok so today it got down to -15 with the wind bringing it down to about -25 -30 ish and i went to start the pathfinder and didnt get anything but cranking of the starter and the motor anybody have any idea whats going on yesterday and Monday it started fine ran great and but those days it was any wheres between -5 to +10 when i went to start it before my belt broke the coldest it was out and i started it was -10 and it kinda hesitated to start then so i had the timing checked with a timing light and it was dead on i have not had the compression checked yet what should i start checking when i get home from work?
  13. if you want to take this down your welcome to thanks for the help guys
  14. i didnt move it at all the shop that i was talking to before i did it said if i was off a tooth or half a tooth the distributor would adjust its self so when it smoothed out i figured it was that
  15. well i have to get a fan shroud tomorrow as i broke mine trying to get it around the steering so i will be driving it tomarro and it will start the babying of the pathfinder
  16. wish i new this haha would of saved me some worry
  17. well around me for a motor not from a jy im looking at a grand with out wiring or ecu and im looking at a complete pathfinder for a grand so the complete pathy makes more sense i would get money back from it as junk or part out buttttt i finished my tb change about 30-45 mins ago and it fired up and ran ...... good no lights on in the dash no knocking it ran ruff for about 1min then smoothed im guessing my timing was off by a tooth or half a tooth but the distributor adjusted and fixed that i let it run for about 10-15 mins and nothing changed no new lights nothing so im guessing i got extremely lucky before for i had the pathfinder i had a 93 gmc truck and when we would work on that my dad would call it jap crap (cause none of the bolts were the same size or stupid stuff like that) well i actually get a Japanese vehicle and its super easy to work on so where would i go to get the compression checked?
  18. so I just got the pathy to my house and am tarring down the front end Im hoping that I got lucky as the day fter I posted that pathfinder disappeared of CL the interior and exterior where ruff so I wasent looking to part it out
  19. so Wednesday my timing belt broke as i was on my way to work so heres some ?s and some specifics on the pathy Mileage: 171xxx bought with 169xxx transmission: auto speed when broke: 45mph temp outside: around 30f ?s 1. i was told that i most likely put a rod threw the head when the belt broke is that possible? 2. is there a safety switch or something that would put the pathy in neutral ? 3.should i try and replace the belt or should i get a new motor? so when it happen i just stalled i had no noise or anything when i went to put it in neutral wile i was rolling to restart it with out stopping it was already in neutral and i started to hit reverse(i should of been in drive) and i could here the gears grind or what ever it is in a auto i found a 1998 pathfinder that has a good motor with 145xxx miles on it but the body is shot and the ad said that the frame is rough for $1000 i was thinking i could get him down to $700 and just use the motor then junk the rest and get $200-$300 bucks back so it would end up costing me $500-$400 bucks is this a good plan? i know the main things to look for ie. burring/leaking oil, burring antifreeze, and stuff like that
  20. i have 32" tires and 1.5 in the front and only rub at full crank but with a little molding with a heat gun i wouldent rub when i had my 31"tires with the 1.5 i didnt rub at alll
  21. so like take the glass lens off the pathfinder housing and put a projector in it?
  22. i put 1.5 spacers in the front of mine and im sitting about level my front is about 1/4" higher than the rear so u might need 1/2" maybe i would do the front lift then measure before you go making things up if you search on here for front spacers i think one of the people said 1.5 is the most you can space the front because of the cv shaft angle (im guessing your talking about strut spacers) hope this helps
  23. i was just looking at the 1999 ford f150 and they might work to so im going to try those to here are some aftermarket ones from summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/grm-09-1134-1lb/overview/year/1999/make/ford/model/f-150 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/grm-09-1155/overview/year/1999/make/ford/model/f-150 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/grm-09-1149/overview/year/1999/make/ford/model/f-150 http://www.summitracing.com/search/year/1999/make/ford/model/f-150/department/exterior-accessories/section/lights-lenses/part-type/headlight-assemblies

  25. well i was just getting at that the way they hook to the lens and how they plug in is the same so well there are other ones on there those are just the ones i liked and if it does work its alot cheaper than getting jdms imported and having to put the updated front end on this weekend its suposed to warm up to 37-40 deg here in ny so i plan on going to the local jy and tearing one out of a explorer and seeing if it will fit in one of the pathfinders that is in there
