  1. When you put the vent valve on put some silicone around it and maybe a little on the vent valve itself. This might help you. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk

  6. Hey guys doing a timing belt service on my 98 Pathy. Wondering if anyone has some advice on changing the camshaft seals. Already took care of the crankshaft seal, but still need to take camshaft sprockets off and change seals. What's a good way to get the sprockets off to change the seals?

  8. Lol. I know right! You wouldn't believe the stuff I come across a set of 86 Benz factory Bosch fog lights I'm thinking of slappin on the 96 Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk

  10. I've bought 3 R50s in the past 2 years and fortunately all southern cars with little to no rust. Surface rust on places, but taken care of very easily. I was searching Craigslist last night and came across an 01 for $500 that just needs a CV axle on the driver side but it is ate up with rust. Hard to find them where there not rusted out especially front inner frame deemed to the junk yard. I'm very keen on the undercoating. The 96 fixer upper I got I found on Craigslist check engine light was on when I went and looked at it I took my scanner and it came up ignition I think it was P0130. I might be wrong. Anyway I knew it just needed a distributor. I had 3 extra distributors. Installed one changed plugs and that fixed it. I have a Pull A Part within 20 miles of my house and I have racked up on extra parts screws pins whatever I need I've got easy access to I just installed new seats in my 98 pathy. If you guys need a part I don't care one bit to go to pull a part to see if I can get it. A lot of people just don't have access to pull a part or junk yards and it's hard for them to find parts so I don't care to help anyone out. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  11. I'm addicted. God only knows if I got in to off-road. I enjoy every minute of it. Nissan made a winner. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  12. UPDATE - Started working on the trim along with the step rails and fine detail on anything and everything. I've been cleaning cars up for well over 20 years now and something I wanted to share is making the trim come back to life. Some people paint it, use oil or even silicone, but all those don't last. I've used every product known to man on getting the trim back to new and nothing works on keeping it looking new like Turtle Wax Endura Shine Trim Coating. To me this stuff is the best on the market hands down. Nothing compares to this stuff. It's an acrylic coating. The more coats the darker it gets. On my 98 I use it once a year and still my plastics are top notch. As you can see in the pics what I'm taking about. I did however sand and paint the metal on my bumpers everything else I used the trim coating. The only place I can find this stuff at is either online or Pep Boys. It runs around $15 a bottle comes with gloves and a sponge trust me you will want to use gloves while applying. If you accidentally get it on your paint wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth. It's that easy guys. I stand by this stuff and like I said there's nothing on the market like it hands down the best. I'm in the process now of refurbishing my mud flaps I will post pictures once I'm done so you can see all the trim completed with this stuff. The 96 fixer upper continues........

  14. A lot of people don't like the 17INCH QX4 wheels. I've always thought there a good looking wheel. Hell of a lot better looking than the 16inch wheels they came out with on the first 4 years of the Quey. Those things are horrid in my book. Just to prove my point here's a pic.

  15. It's a cool feature to have. That said Ive wanted to put one in my 98 Pathy for the last 2 years. I already bought what I needed, but my 98 didn't have the m62 connector. There's another way to wire it up, but that calls for a lot of splicing and I didn't want to go that route. Who knew I was going to buy yet another R50. What can I say I love the R50's. #r50sobsessed Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  16. Although I had a 1ft of the factory harness that connects to the m62 connector and a piece of the harness that connects to the compass/thermometer unit. I had to make a trip to pull a part anyway to get a few things for this old gal. So while I was there I got the whole harness from the m62 to the unit so no splicing to deal with only had to run the wires and plug in a few connectors. I ran the wires up the pass side A pillar and zip tied it to the room lamps harness. Then across headliner next to sun visor. Piece of cake really. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  17. Looks a lot better than what it did. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  18. For @!*%s and giggles I thought I'd look for the m62 6 pin plug for the compass and thermometer on my recent 96 fixer upper SE Pathy. My 98 Pathy didn't have it nor did it have vanity mirrors with lights. This 96 Pathy however does have vanity mirrors, lights too so I figured it has the m62 6 pin plug.I was right. It's behind and up above the glove box stuck to the inside of the body beside the bigger m63 connector which goes to the room lamps. I had an extra overhead console I picked up about a year ago in case the one in my Quey went bad. Sorry Quey. Ha ha!! I decided to do a quick hook up just to see. Oh yeah and I had the ambient temp sensor as well that goes on the front grill . I used this write up to help identify the wires along with the fsm http://forums.nicoclub.com/2004-pathfinder-overhead-console-upgrade-t543809.html Make sure and go here this is a great write up. Anyway I got it to come on. Now all I have to do is run the wires from the m62 6 pin plug to the console and that's it. I put vanity lights in my Pathy and running the wires were not all that bad. Note In my photos I've already pulled down m62 6 pin and connected my harness to it for testing purposes. When and if you do this mod. You will also have to ground the compass/thermometer unit. The unit has 8 pins using 7 of those to operate and the factory wiring connector m62 has on 6 pins. If you decide to do this mod when you look up in the area where the connector should be you will see two connectors if the m62 plug is there. If you don't see two just one you don't have the 6 pin m62 connector. In one of my pics you can see the m63 connector still stuck to body while the 6 pin m62 is pulled down. Go to the page mentioned above trust me. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  19. At it some more on this rainy Saturday in East TN. I'm very keen on attention to detail. Yesterday when it was a beautiful sunny 60 degrees I took my roof rails off along with the spoiler and restored them. Sanded, primed, painted and finished off with some varnish. On the bottom of the rails is a seal that runs the whole length of the rail. I took it off and cleaned it with degreaser and then took rubber dressing and conditioned both seals. They slide off and on. Some might think this is a waste of time but to me the little things make a big difference. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  20. Something else I do while I'm underneath the vehicle I will take some PB Blaster and spray nuts and bolts that I might have to take off in the future that way it'll be a little bit easier and maybe not break them Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  21. I sanded mainly the surface rust off. It's been a southern car it's entire life. As far as sanding it down to the metal that's up to you either way sanding it is better than not sanding it at all of course. Use your own judgment. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  22. I've never attempted this job, so have no clue. The FSM might have a procedure in it on how to. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  23. Installed 2 used pumps for 2 bad ones. Works like a charm and put step rails on off a 02 model. Also put a new over flow tank on. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
  24. For a shiny undercoat look after the Rustoleum dries go back over with some gloss black paint. Sent from my SM-S337TL using Tapatalk
