Hi people, having a bit of a nightmare.
Went out to a few tracks a weekend or two ago only to find out, some way in, that the front half of my 4wd is not working properly.
Managed to get about with only the occasional tow out, but obviously this has to change. Was hoping someone could give me a worse case scenario based on my limited troubleshooting ability.
So here is what I think I know:
Front auto hubs don't seem to be either engaging or disengaging (not 100% which but assuming disengaging. Opened them, cleaned them, they seem In working order.
Drive shaft from transfer case to front differential spins in 4wd.
Left front CV spins in 4wd.
Right front CV does not spin in 4wd.
Now I'm assuming that i will need to replace the diff, or at least something inside of it.
Any tips on what I should do to further diagnose and if I do need a new front diff then are they interchangeable between the 1991 terrano/pathfinders or would I need a Z24 one specifically?
Truck is 1991 Nissan Pathfinder Z24 further than that i know not.Cheers in advance for knowledge.

Where I live there is a massive residential hill that leads out of the town and pretty much everyone hitch hikes up it and its pretty much the only place i've lived where you'd get picked up quickly. I usually have a seat so I always stop hoping to score some good karma. Anyways i wandered if anyone had any good hitch hiker stories?
I have 2 to start:
1) picked up a couple whilst on a dominos run. When I get in the misses is waiting patiently for her pizza and some kinda stick chocolate mess. Turns out said pudding has been fleeced from the back seat. Either that or it's disappeared into some alternated universe behind the seats, though I'm pretty sure i checked there.
2) Just pulled over last second for someone. Not got central locking so I lean over to unlock the passenger door. Before i finish unlocking it i see that he's already ripped the door handle off. Brilliant. Not sure if I believe in Karma anymore...

Yeah seems like i will have to. Just wanted to get it on myself but as its the daily finding the right time is a nightmare.

Ok will give it a go. I basically live in New Zealand's Asspen at the minute though so everything is overpriced and in limited supply

Sorry i already posted something like this elsewheres but here seems more appropriate.
So, here we go.
Firstly I have a two door pathfinder with the z24 engine. My registration has the year as 1991 but it seems like the two door z24 wasn't i production then so maybe that's just when it was imported.
I have bought replacement sections for the rear two sections of the exhaust but cannot for the life of me find the front section, roughly 3ft, that connects to the manifold. There are sections on ebay and the like for the d21 hardbody, is there any chance that it would be the same? aren't they basically the same underneat + same engine etc.?
The only other thing i've seen that comes close is for a 1996-99 terrano 2 2.4l which again i didn't think existed. Anyway, any help pointing me in the right direction would be super appreciated. I've tried nissan and as many wreckers as i can in new zealand and come up short (nissan said maybe but it would cost at least 400 bucks!!!)
Thanks guys.

Hi, replacing my exhaust as it is holier than a sieve. The tailpipe and the muffler section i have but i cannot for the life of me find the short section between the manifold and the muffler section. There are none in any wreckers yards and nissan aren't even sure they can get it but know that it will cost me at least 400bucks and 3 weeks wait. So what I'm asking is, where can i get this section from in the US? Seems like it might be cheaper that trying to have the part made out here. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks guys.

Thanks lads, appreciate it. Turns out it was that pesky faulty switch and the bulbs were all fine.

Hi fellas,
I'm having a bit of an issue. To pass my warrant of fitness my truck needs to be able to communicate to me that the full beams are on. Sadly the light is no longer working. Was just wandering if this was an issue anyone else has had and if there was somewhere i could get instructions on how to remove the console as I'm particularly averse to just getting stuck in and trying to rip the dash out.
Thanks in advance.

Both my front and rear bumpers look like their dropping off, some one rear ended me and totaled their civic on my tow hitch and no idea what happened to the front. How easy is it too remove the bumpers (D21) and is there any difference between the four door and the two door version, i'm hoping not as i'm struggling to find either in wreckers.
Thanks and excuse my ignorance

Anywhere other than trademe that i can get a good deal?

Also, it took me going through both photobucket (turns out i'm still logged into a works account from 2012) and imageshack (not free) to realise FB could host my images for me

Hey guys, really stoked on my new purchase and home for the next year or two. First 4WD but I'm hoping to rack up some off road hours in this beautiful country. As far as I know it is a stock '91 (89?) two door WD21 with Z24, though maybe it was lifted at some point. Any basic modifications will be received with open arms. Thanks, G

1991 Z24 ignition/battery wiring damage.
in The Garage
Posted
Yet another complication.
Alternator died.
New one in charging fine but something is definitely fried.
Battery light now is permanent. Key no longer kills the car, having to use killswitch instead.
This is not that much of an issue, although i would like to be able to tell if my battery does stop charging etc.
I have replaced some obviously burned out wires in the engine bay to no avail. Now i guess i must go into the front quarter and have a look. Just wandered if anyone knew of any in line fuses or anything that could be the issue, and weather i can get at them through the dash instead of taking off the quarter panel.
Thnaks agian for any help.
