[Mile Marker 435 - Mile Marker Supreme Locking Hubs - Is this the correct model?]

Just heard back from Mile Marker customer support, and the diameter of the hub base is 3 7/8" (3.875").

 

Can anyone confirm the diameter of the center cap opening on the wheels pictured above?

[Mile Marker 435 - Mile Marker Supreme Locking Hubs - Is this the correct model?]

I just emailed Mile Marker to inquire about exterior dimensions, and to suggest that they add the R50 Pathfinder to their list of Nissan compatible Nissan vehicles.

[Mile Marker 435 - Mile Marker Supreme Locking Hubs - Is this the correct model?]

Looks like the same set I used!

 

Thanks for the response. Can you tell me the diameter of the hubs? I have these factory wheels, and want to make sure that the MM hubs will fit with the center caps remove.

Just want to double check.

 

Also, what additional parts will i need? I've seen conflicting info with regards to extended studs.

 

The Pathfinder sees mostly tarmac use as a DD, but will be driven out on sandy beaches/deep puddles/mud occasionally.

 

Thanks.

 

 

[Pet barrier options?]

I build this protector/cusion for the rear side... Moka loves it... And I do not need pet barrier

 

 

I like what you did there. We have a rear-facing carseat for our newborn positioned on the middle of the rear seat, and don't want our dog, or any other potential object hitting her in the event of a rapid braking maneuver.

[Pet barrier options?]

Ended up ordering this pet barrier from smile.amazon.com

I'll post up some pics and a preliminary review once I get it in the back of the truck.

 

Just realized it was $44.00 yesterday, and $29.99 today. Online with their CS to see if I can get a small refund.

[Pet barrier options?]

My wife and I just had our 1st child on July 4th, and as mostly clueless new parents with a dog we want to put up a pet barrier so our newborn won't get run over when the dog sees a squirrel out of the window.

 

What do you guys recommend?

 

Amazon.com has a ton of options, but I'd like some actual feedback.

 

Thanks.

I do, can't remember where I got them, otherwise I'd tell you.

[looking for tires.. need real suggestions lol]

The General Grabber AT2s on my wife's Pathfinder have been great so far in the mud and sand of the Texas Gulf. They start to show their weakness in cold/freezing weather when they loose overall grip on pavement up here in New Hampshire. Also, they are not snow tires. I throw on the tried and true Nokian Hakkapeliittas when the frozen stuff starts falling.

[Squealing belt on startup.]

2004 R50 Pathfinder SE 3.5L A/T

 

Hey all, I'm searching for the cause of a loud, squealing noise, that lasts from 10-30 seconds on a cold startup. I'm sure it's one of the belts, but I'm looking for a diagram, and can't find which section of the repair manual to search in. Here's the link to the index of the R50 repair manual: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Pathfinder/2004_Pathfinder/idx.pdf

 

Is there a tensioner that I can adjust? A cursory look showed the belts to be in serviceable condition.

I use Torque Pro. I found it online for free, but they charge a small fee for it in the Play Store. The free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torquefree&hl=enis still very good, but obviously won't offer the full range of functions.

 

I'm not sure what you're referring to about the price range of the OBDII scanner.

 

P.S. Be sure you're aware that the OBDII scanner you ordered is not iOS compatible, so no iPhones or iPods will work. Only works with Android via Bluetooth connections.

[BT adapter? (Torque for android)]

Does anybody in R50 land run torque for android via Bluetooth obd2 adapter? I need a recommendation for an adapter. I tried a cheap ELM327 clone adapter from eBay, no dice. I just want it to work now and am looking for any known working adapter with torque + R50.

 

 

I do, when I drive my wife's Pathfinder for more than just a toodle around town.

 

I use this OBDII Bluetooth adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

 

 

Works great. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[Anyone use the Torque app. for Android?]

I've been mulling getting a cheap (~$50) Android tablet w/Bluetooth solely to run Torque. No rush, as it's as much of a novelty right now for me as anything.

[Anyone use the Torque app. for Android?]

I like Torque ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en) because it offers a lot more than just MPGs.

[Anyone use the Torque app. for Android?]

I have one of those OBDII scanners that sends a Bluetooth signal to my phone, and I use the Torque app. to monitor various sensors in my car. For shıts and giggles I plugged it into my wife's Pathfinder and took the dog for a ride to the beach.

 

There is apparently a way to do realtime MPG monitoring in the Pathfinder, but I'm guessing it's not properly calibrated, because the values seemed a little bit high.

 

Here's a screenshot with the vehicle running at a dashboard indicated 50mph with the cruise control ON. Road was at sea level along the coast, so flat as a pancake and straight as and arrow. Tires are new General Grabber AT2s, stock size.

Looks like it was fun.

Morning class was canceled, so I took the dog to the beach, and found some "trails" along the coast.

 

 

Dog is my co-pilot.

Where are you located at?

I'd be all over at least one of those if I was closer!

 

 

Do you know any history or better info on what it is? One of the three looks heavily modified for racing, but are the other two stock/factory models?

I know nothing about what options package this was, but thought it would be cool to share with you guys. Here's a pic from the ad, more pics/info in the ad itself.

[Random picture of your R50]

Great choice! On my phone browser so I can't see where you're from, and judging by the palm trees in the background it's probably not a concern of yours, but I have to say that these tires are downright magical in the snow. They're great to very good at everything else they've been through also, with the exception of thick gooey mud. They wear very well too.

 

We're in Galveston, TX. It's not the best spot for trails/off-roading, but as we explore more around the area, I'm sure we'll find something or someplace that'll be worth the investment. The tires that were on the truck still had about 50% tread on them, but they were so extremely weather-cracked I was worried that one or more tires would fail on the interstate. She didn't mind my suggestion, and is half-serious about wanting a mild-lift kit. I've seen that one member here has 1"-2" lifts for a really reasonable price.

 

Also, we are able to drive out on sections of the beach here, and there can occasionally be some challenging spots (very rarely, and very small spots, but still...) so it'll be nice knowing that there are better tires on all four corners. Previously had all-season SUV/Crossover BFGoodrich touring tires on. Good road manners, and even though we hadn't had any issues with them off-road, they weren't exactly confidence-inspiring.

 

Now to keep on searching for a nearby area to explore for overlanding/camping.

[Random picture of your R50]

Wife's truck got some new tires. She was kind enough to let me have fun with the choice, so I suggested General Grabber AT2s.

 

 

She is a generous wife.

[2002 Speaker Replacement]

Do you have the BOSE stereo? If not, these adapters work: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120727400/Metra-72-7400-Speaker-Wiring-Harness.html

 

 

 

I'm not sure if the BOSE system uses the same factory speaker connectors as the non-BOSE system.
