  1. Well, I have some sad news. The Pathfinder is gone. Took a straight trade for a beautiful E46 coupe, one I just couldn't pass up. I WILL be owning another Pathfinder in my lifetime, so I'll be back. Thank you for passing on your knowledge, opinions, and advice. 3e6edy3y.jpga5yzatyb.jpg

  2. Hey guys, I've had a rattling noise at low RPMs (while driving) for a while and I'm 99% sure it's a heat shield causing it from other people's diagnosis and symptoms. I'm not quite sure what to be looking for, so any pictures, testimonies, or pieces of advice are welcome. Thanks!

  3. After much delay, I am happy to report that Fleury's spacers and the new wheels have been installed on my R50. Very pleased with the result.

     

    The new setup:

    Stock Springs

    Fleury's spacers (2" front, 2.5" rear)

    16" black steel rims

    265/75/16 M/T retreads (BFG A/T casings)

    NOTE: My 17" LE rims will be for sale... contact me if you're interested. I'll try and post an ad in the classifieds sometime in the near future.

  4. Hey guys- I finally have some time to put my lift and wheels on, but I've run into some problems. I started with the front passenger side yesterday. The bolts on top of the strut were an absolute PITA to get off, but I eventually did succeed. But the bolts that connect the strut to the knuckle will not budge. After 40 minutes of effort, I simply gave up. It's clear that they haven't been touched in 12 years. Anyways, I'm in desperate need of help. If anyone has done it themselves, please throw your input in. Also- bolts on top of the front driver's side strut are in some seriously difficult areas... I'd love some suggestions on how to get those out too. Thanks so much! If pics help I'll be happy to post some.

  5. Yes. You are right. I could not see his signature. I have factory 16's on mine and I wanted to know how big of a tire I could use without wheel spacers? 165 75 16's?

    Check out this thread --> http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/19867-max-tire-size-vs-lift-kit-used-vs-custom-or-oe-wheels/

     

    Shows just about every reasonable lift/rim/tire size combo that's been experimented with.

  6. I have a Magnaflow 18" and LOVE the sound. Great tone at idle and cruising around town, helped mpg a little, and let's you know who's coming when my foot's in it. ;)

     

    What are the inlet/outlet dimensions on it? I know you have an exhaust video you'd love to show me :laugh::laugh:

  7. Hey all. Looking at throwing on a different muffler for a better sound. I am ballin' on a budget but luckily I have a buddy who's been working on and welding exhaust components for years. I've searched and I haven't really found a solid/reliable answer on here. So I was just wondering what dimensions I'd be looking for. I know it's a dual in single out but not sure about the exact dimensions. I'd rather get a compatible muffler than have to deal with a y-pipe. All help is appreciated!

  8. My first step of action would be selling me that grill guard :laugh:

     

    No but in all seriousness that is one clean Pathy. There are plenty of small lift options as I'm sure you know by scanning the forum. I have some 16" steelies on 32" M/T's that I'm throwing on this weekend. Keep an eye out! Welcome.

  9. I'm still waiting to find time to install my lift/wheels, and I've been getting a tad bit antsy. I hit up the junkyard yesterday and saw a 95 4Runner with tail light guards and I absolutely LOVED them. I've also been contemplating smoking out my tails- not pitch black; light but noticeable. I've seen pics of tinted tails but nothing has made me truly love them. So, can anyone throw in some insight/advice/pics about either of those two mods?

  10. Progress has been made :laugh: Rims, tires, and coil spacers are in. Just need to borrow my buddy's floor jack and spring compressors and put everything together. I also jacked up the car and test fitted the rims... mud flaps are going to have to come off to prevent some rubbing. Plasti-dipped the center caps matte black... don't really like it, I'll be taking it off.

  11. Sorry if I missed it, but just be careful of the backspacing of the rims to make sure they push the wheel out far enough from the strut to clear the 32" tire. 31's typically fit without issue (from my experience), but if you are planning on 32" equivalent tires I was afraid not to mention it.

     

    Backspacing on the rims are 3.975. If the 32"s with the 2 inch coil spacers don't look too ridiculous, I'm willing to invest in some 1.5" wheel spacers for the fronts.
