How-To: R50 Rear Disc Brake Conversion
johann_peralta replied to hawairish's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
This write up is REALLY well done! Also, thats a really cool mod. On a side note theres a Facebook club for r50/qx4, and on there there is a guy by the name Shelby Fullen, who has also done a rear disk conversion on his r50 a few years back. -

front cross member strength
johann_peralta replied to missionstreet's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I've accidentally bent one by putting the jack directly onto it... no rust either. its fairly simple and won't hurt to spend a few minutes extra to cut a piece of wood to put in between the jack and the car. -
Restoring black plastic molding
johann_peralta replied to colinnwn's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
i have had very good results with armor all. I put it on a rag and rub it on the flares, door handles etc... it lasts a few months and looks nice IMO -
maybe this will help you see it better

I would stray from these pictures because they have mistakes in them. Just a heads up...

R50 engine replacement possibilities? diesel or v8
johann_peralta replied to harddownshift's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
it will cost more than the cars value to do that swap. probably more than 2X the value... unfortunately anything other than stock will cost an arm and a leg! most likely those diesel engines that bolt right up will have to be imported and that alone is crazy expensive:/ if you are dead set on a swap however, use a simple old school motor that requires little electrical and that will make your life easier -
What is the hose one the side? DIY breather?

Anyone replaced their own steering rack?
johann_peralta replied to NovaPath's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
How to replace rack: if you are replacing the TRE, you are gonna want to start by taking the TRE off the knuckle, helps to have a pickle fork or puller. If not replacing TRE, you can take the inner Tie rod off the outer. Once the ends are disconnected, it will be held on by two brackets that have 2 bolts each. if i remember correctly they are a 21mm size... don't quote me. so remove the 4 bolts that clamp the rack on. next it will help you a ton to remove the sway bar brackets that hold the bushing. should be around 4 bolts per sire. tie the sway bar up and out of your way. next you need to remove the hoses from the rack, there are two. be careful as fluid comes out as you loosen and remove them. after that, there may be one or two more lines coming to the rack, if so remove those. after that, unbolt the steering shaft connector from the rack. should be able to remove the rack now and replace it. id recommend replacing the rack bushings. -
Doing a 4" SFD without much fab experience
johann_peralta replied to SellOut's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
gonna need some 1/4" rectangle tubing, one piece of 1/4" thick 18" long X 4" tall X 2" wide. another piece that is 12" long X 4" tall X 4" wide. gonna need something to cut it ( i chose angle grinder). Gonna need a drill, gonna need a steering extension from woodward steering, Pm me if you want the blueprints. -
idk how I feel about those only because of the image. The front coils look like they have a pig tail? Either that or the coils get very wide after the top and bottom few inches. If they do get wide they might hit on the tire or for non sfd people they can possibly hit in the inner well. The rear also has a slight pigtail look on one end and neither end of the pathfinder has that sort of perch. Quite possible that they aren't using actual pictures for the cars but who knows...

If you can't find any for the QX4 try searching for the same year pathfinder..

New (to me) R50 Minor Issues and Questions
johann_peralta replied to Blindaviator's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
ABS holds up fine with bigger tires, the speedo gets off though. -
Advanced AutoParts sells camber bolts for about 4-5$. used them for over a year now with no issues.
-
If you are looking for a popular lift that keeps the car mostly stock and has a fair ride, try 4x4parts.com they sell both lift coils, and lift spacers. I would recommend.
