Parallel parked it (shiver) and was so skill\ed that both sidewalls touched pavement AND i couldnt fit my hand between plates in the front... Had to wait to leave though because I couldnt get out haha

Everrryyything in the front end is squeaking nooooo

Nice stov. Its about time your rig got into the big leagues. Now for me to get off my ass and join you..

Got meself a replacement injector cap (snagged the injector while I was at it). Got lucky to be honest because I showed up with just two screwdrivers, one phillips one flat, thinking that I would be in and out. Broke the phillips screwdriver trying to wedge a hood open (to be fair, it was a very big phillips, which is why I used it as a mini crow-bar in the past) The issue with this was that my flathead screwdriver was a very wide flathead. Which meant that it wouldn't fit any of the screws holding the caps in place.. But lo and behold, the very last truck I checked had ONE cap held down by flathead screws!

Hauled a scooter in the back of it yesterday. Trying to get the scooter to run; that is, continue running. Starts and lasts about 10 seconds before dying.. pretty sure that the carb is gunked up and know that the engine is flooding because the old plug was as black as my exhaust pipe... Speaking of, still need to get around to checking the tooth count of my timing belt. Have a funny feeling that it slipping a tooth may be part of my rough idle problem..

Used it as a step-stool to fit my couch over the balcony of my college house. Also strapped 4 mattresses, and a couch on top of that, to it and drove realll slow. Made it to my destination with no casualties

Got sidetracked by moving back in to college.. and now that classes have started, things are going to go even slower than before. I looked at the FSM, but I really couldn't tell what all needs to be removed/where the bolts are that hold the intake in place.. any hints?

Just did a little internet search of the junkyards in my area, and in WD21s alone there are 32 trucks! Include the D21s, and that number jumps to 38. Include the R50s, and that number soars above 100. All that, within 25 miles of me... Colorado is Pathfinder poppin

Need to pull the upper plenum (or at least lift it up) in order to get to the injector.. not enough clearance to loosen and remove the rear screw.. probably going to just whack it back into the sleeve with a mallet and see if that changes anything.. Also, I'm cutting and replacing the exhaust, cat back, with a 2.25 straight pipe.. tired of the whistling noise the muffler makes

banged at it a bit, finished painting my headliner and was disappointed with the results, will try again tomorrow. Also took exhaust measurements for a straight pipe. Muffler is toast anyways (in and outs are separated from the backing plates), and I really don't care about drone, as I grew up riding shotgun in a 72 Cutlass with cherry bomb headers and a glasspak.

I'll try messing with the injector cap here in a bit, need to do some packing first. I'll also try swapping the CTS in the truck for a clean looking one that I found at a JY.. doesn't hurt to try. MAF was cleaned a week ago, and not even a smudge came off of it

Solid job there bubs... Used FSM diagnostic procedures to figure out why he is still running like Satan's butthole.. details here http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/39304-running-rich-and-random-misfire/page-2?do=findComment&comment=760714

Well, I've found time to revisit some of these issues tonight, and will continue to do so for the rest of the week before I go back to school. To revisit, my remaining symptoms are misfire (random but not "constant"), unsteady idle, and occasional high idle after warm-up. The truck no longer runs rich (thanks to NGK plug wires and a new fuel filter), but the truck does backfire/misfire heavily during geared deceleration when the engine speed is between 1800 and idle (750) rpm. Is this an indicator that it might be my IACV or another idle related sensor that is malfunctioning? I disconnected the following sensors individually... O2 - ran far richer and didn't solve misfire or unsteady idle. Coolant temp sensor - again, ran richer, maybe slightly smoother, but still with a misfire and unsteady idle. PCV - pinched the line, not sure how effectively I pinched it, but it didn't change the engine speed (FSM EF&EC-51) I want to see if the EGR valve is sticking or not next, but I really don't know how to tell. Also, noticed one of my injector screw-down things was cracked today.. could this be causing problems, as it appears that the injector isn't all the way in the hole now.. attached below are an audio-only video of my exhaust, and two pictures detailing what I mean about the injectors.. any help is welcome! http://tinypic.com/m/ivfy2o/3 cracked injector (cap)? You can see where it is cracked right in the middle of the picture. what it looks like in other cases, for reference

Being mildly lazy here, but assuming that you just spliced the line on one of the brake lights and used LED HMBL for low-draw on that line?

Got rear ended... again.... which brings my total up to 3. Bumper is less bacon-ed and more noodl-ed now, and I actually think I might be able to pull it straight now!

RIPB.99 thats actually a really awesome idea!

why does the top dent look like it originated from the inside?

Drove it to work, and as a prank that the owner suggested I do, used it to tow my bosses truck down the street... where he and I then dropped it on cinder-blocks and put the now vehicle-less 38's where he usually parks

Buddy gave me his WRX muffler because he's tired of the whistling sound mine makes haha. Not going to install it until this friggin misfire is fixed

I wonder why the sulfur smell? How many miles are you at now X?

Junkyard again.. found a bull bar that I wanted to snag but I ended up breaking my ratchet wrench with 1 bolt left to remove Sears replaced it, but I broke it just before the junkyard closed, so there was nobody that I could borrow a wrench from and I couldn't go back. My next chance to go is maybe next Saturday.. with my current luck, I'll probably get to watch that Pathfinder get crushed too. w Also, saw the D21 version of Bubbley's rig, with the sweet red/silvery white two tone. Odometer had 97k but the timing belt was broken Here's a picture of what else I did.

Went back to the junkyard to grab some newish ranchos off of a truck i saw there last week annddddd walked in to see it sitting in the crusher.. poo

If you pay for the gas/ airline ticket I'm more than willing to

Waxed it 3 times. The shineeeeeeee

Peeked at my muffler because I noticed a hissing sound louder than normal. The exit pipe has completely separated from the muffler back plate, resulting in a big fat crack through which half of my exhaust is escaping. Huzzah!
