What about a half door? That way you can keep your door speakers .

You have a lot of grey smoke on cold start ups? It could be that your glow plugs aren't warming up the pre chambers enough to ignite the diesel. Maybe your compression is too low making cold starts harder too. You could send your TD27 to me in the states and I'll trade you my VG30e for it.

and every time you order from them they send a long a page of Low Range stickers so you can advertise for them. They're a good company to deal with. I've order lots of parts from them for my Samurai.

I took the time to look at my Pathfinder today. It seems like we all have the same problem. The connecting hose in between the fuel rails were the issue. It wasn't leaking but it looked damp.

No one touched anything on this one. I was the first to get anything off of it. I don't think there is too much of a demand up here for WD21s anymore. They all rotted out from the excessive salt on they use on the roads in the winter.

^ x2 Aren't the VG30i's throttle body injection and not carbureted?

Isn't just an O-ring that's in there?

I didn't even think of that! Too bad I just got in from installing them.

FSM is factory service manual. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now. Looks like you have your hands full. Good luck.

Today was a good day for my Pathfinder. I went to you pull it junk yard, there happened to be 1995 Pathfinder with 195,xxx miles on it and bad case of frame rot. It was the only WD21 in the yard and look what it had. A set of Pacesetter headers, but unfortunately the crossover pipe was crushed. I had no complaints when they said $35.00 for the headers. And also some nice seats to replace my beat up ones and to finally get rid of those stupid seat covers that came with it. Note: I did not pretend I was driving around my dining room. I dropped the idea to my fiancée that they would look in the dining room. She said we need more than two.

My 93 Pathy with 32" BFG MTs, auto trans, and auto hubs so far it's been pretty consistent at 12mpg, haven't had it out for any long trips yet. My supercharged 01 Frontier gets 14mpg 31.5ish" BFG MTs 5 speed and Warn hubs. I've gotten up to 17mpg a couple times on long highway trips. My first Pathfinder which was a 95 and 5 speed, I remember getting in the upper teens to low 20s.

Yea that's what I figured. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought. Thanks for the input. I guess I'll be hitting up the Nissan dealer tomorrow.

I think it's kind of funny that I too just started noticing the this too on cold start up but it goes away. I haven't had time to investigate it yet. I'm not too worried about it. I'll dig more into when I get sometime.

This isn't a typical timing belt question. On my 01 Frontier the water pump has developed some play, it's not leaking yet. I did the timing belt 4 years ago at 106,000 miles, at the time I opted out of doing a new water pump. I guess that decision has come back to haunt me. This belt is 4 years old and has about 37,000 miles on it. Question is should I reuse this belt or replace it since I'll be in there?

Try Remflex gaskets. You'd have to buy the material and make your own. They only list the exhaust manifold for the VG30.

Rausch Creek is in Pennsylvania. Wow I thought I got a decent deal at $700 but $400 that's even better. I had to do some minor trimming to fit 32s. It was mostly to the fender flares. I did cut off some of the lower valance in the front too. What UCA's did you end up getting?

I did lots of t bar cranking with 3 inch lift springs in the rear and I had to do some light trimming to fit 32x11.5x15s.

My 93 has 133,193 miles on it as of today.

I took it to work, changed the trans filter and fluid. I ordered ball joints and tie rod ends.

I used to go to Rausch Creek at least once a month.

If it's discontinued then junkyards are probably your best bet.

Yea the front is just cranked T-bars and the back is springs. Maybe if I had a aftermarket UCA I might be able to get the BJ spacers to work, but I had way too much positive camber.

Sometimes you get lucky with a left hand drill bit and it will break the old stud free. If you're not that lucky, once you get the extractor in there don't break it off. You'll have a hard time drilling that out. I bought a left hand drill/extractor set off the snap on truck for work. If I remember tomorrow I'll look to see what size drill and extractor to use on the 8mm studs.

Yep that's a supercharged frontier. I wish I could find another set of those wheels, or the darker SC Xterra wheels for this Pathfinder. I found my L&P idler arm brace that I had ordered for my old 95 Pathy that I never put on. I'm still waiting on my center link from them it's been over 7 years, I don't think I'm getting it.

The exhaust studs are broken off flush in the head. I'm going to drill them out. BJ spacers are gone. I took them off this morning. I also trimmed the front fender flares down a little bit in the front. Here's the finished Pathfinder for now.
