CO_pathfinder

dammit hahahahaha i do.

Sway bar bolts melted with application of PB blaster, so I just cut the rod and will figure out a way to sleeve it and disconnect/connect it later. Let the 4th of July trip... begin!

Unidentified. Nissan. Pathfinder. WD21, light blue. 3+3 lift on 31's, ARB front bumper, custom roof rack. Sounds like your typical pathfinder. Lots of off-road stickers. Anybody have any clue who this truck might belong to, as in are they on the forum? Kinda looks like Kingman's 88

I VOTE 1J SWAPPPP

Thats the symptoms that mine would exhibit. give it a shove and let me know what happens

Sprayed t-bar adjusting bolts with pb for the third day in a row... hopefully by Friday they will be ready to adjust.. Speaking of, calling all Colorado folks. 4th of July trail run at Slaughterhouse gulch.. meeting at noon at the gas station off of 285. Let me know if you plan on coming so that I know how many burgers to bring!

AHHHHH IM GIDDY!!! Redid my timing belt today, and the first thing I noticed when I tore down to it.... 39 teeth between cam marks, and 44 between the cam sprocket and crank sprocket.... Driver side cam was a tooth off, which in turn caused the ignition timing to be off, resulting in terrible misfiring and backfiring when I let off the gas. Now runs 100x smoother, quieter, acceleration is once again linear and unforced, and most importantly.... my exhaust sounds smooth again! Just wish I had had the time to do this so much sooner..

got lazy and decided it was too hot to do the tbelt today. instead i just sprayed all of the bolts underneath with pb just in case i decide that i want to do something

The handles move but just dont open the door, right? If so, try pushing really hard on the door from the inside, and then the outside. Like, slam your body into it. Mine used to do that when my XL-sized roommate used to lean against the door.

Oh ok youre down there. A couple of us are going to Slaughterhouse on the weekend of the 4th of July (not sure which of the two days yet) if you're interested

Looks good there Jeff! What part of colorado are you from?

Oh jeez. wasnt it at npora.lpdhost.com or something like that? Its been a while since that was around!

Hey, I'm not saying that I had a pathfinder in the "old days," but that doesnt mean I wasnt one of the lurkers. My next door neighbor / best friend a couple of years older than me that had a blue two-door 90 back in 06, and we used this forum to do all kinds of stuff to it before safety inspection failure stole him from us But hey!!! Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of me owning my truck so thats something!!

Totally did not even pay attention to the dates of the posts in the thread.. i still assume that its like the old days where a thread got 2 pages of posts in half a day..

I just came across this quote and its gold.. I am officially renaming my truck. My whole front end looks likes this lol. But its all just awkward surface rust. nothing harmful really, until i try to take bolts off...

AGGGG the inside of that water pump hose is grodyyyyy

I have to ask, how did you not notice those wires before? In terms of your question, I'll check my rig/ FSM tomorrow to see if I can tell what those wires are for

just hit 85,970 in my 91, which, with bonus miles from the new larger tires, is an even 86,000!! The only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not the odometer was fooled with before I bought it...

I didnt notice this earlier, but oh my god that is literally the green d21 from my childhood

Oh yea and I'll be redoing my timing belt this coming weekend, as I'd like to have some low end power back (Adam and I messed it up this winter and one of the cams is advanced a tooth.....)

Wait 88's dont have airbags. I mean, my 91 does but its just a brown paper bag taped to the dash to make my girlfriend feel safer as a joke With my new 31s, I dont rub when turning at all. Unless my tank is empty. Or I have any passengers over 150 lbs. Out of curiousity I checked the ride height in all 4 corners with a tape measure and not a single corner is at the same height as the others. Going to look into the cost of getting new struts all around, and into what it would take for me to cut the tbar adjuster bolt off, drill it out and replace it with a new, unrusty/unseized one. And to reindex the bars, as after it settled back after having it on jack stands a few days, both corners are about 1.5" lower than the rear, with the driver side being the lowest of all 4 corners. Because thats where the driver sits All in all stoked to hit up some trails on the 4th of July weekend with Wd21_Colorado (Adam) and Makaaa (Micah). Anybody else from the Colorado area down to join us? Slaughterhouse Gultch to Chinaman Gultch, and Imogen Pass if fuel usage permits/if its open

Was it a random misfire or a steady one?

Yea, I'm feeling much better now. The Evo's obviously totalled, but we managed to get the insurance company to give him all of the non-damaged engine goods

31's... check. new brakes all around... check new rust... check. Broken alternator adjuster... still check.. Been gone for a little while guys, just got out of the hospital. Had a few broken ribs, a torn shoulder (everything in it), a broken nose and a severe concussion, with random loss of consciousness (thus the extended hospital stay) I'll only tell the story because its pretty wild, but here goes. About a month ago a buddy of mine turned 21, and I agreed to DD his birthday celebration at a club in Denver (oh joy). Anyways, hes a trust fund kid from California, so he has all sorts of toys, including a 450+ HP Evo X, black, murded out and all. Anyways, the weather on the way there wasn't looking too great, as we've had a lot of rain in Colorado over the last month or so. When we came back outside at around 4 am, the ground was soaked as it had dumped rain but wasn't raining anymore. The drive back to Boulder, where we live, is a straightshot down the highway, so we were cruising right around 80-85 mph when we hit a flooded part of the road, just as I was changing lanes to get off at our exit. I didn't see it until it was too late, and we began to hydroplane literally instantly. Now, I'm the president of the rally racing team at the University of Colorado, so an uncontrolled slide wasn't really all that surprising to me. What caught me off-guard was the uneven braking that his car gave me when I attempted to slow us down. With no control of the car whatsoever, we slid into those big yellow barrels they put in front of the guard rails of off-ramps, at a speed of about 65, according to the police report. I don't even remember the impact or anything from then until we arrived at the hospital, me all sorts of messed up and my buddy passed out drunk with just a cut forehead. I owe my life to the safety measures put in place by Colorado Highway Patrol and to the outstanding crash resistance of the Evo X, and to the 12-point Cusco roll cage in his car. Had we been in my Pathfinder, it is very likely that we both would have been dead, albeit also would have hit the barrier at a far slower speed. I am just grateful to be alive and to be able to learn from my experience. Hope you all have been doing well, and that your trucks have been treating you nicely.
