I'm a newb so this might be a dumb question but how does a bad muffler affect fuel mileage? The reason ask is because the end bits of my exhaust fell off, including the muffler, and I've been too lazy to come up with a fix.

I'm so confused, but this information gives a half-chub. I always felt when it gripped on ice/snow/pavement for me I could feel an instant shift of power... I always figured it was just a really good VLSD. I'm still not sure if I believe you, what if my diff says use VLSD oil only? Is that because it works better for this purpose?

If you're looking for a rig like that, and have the space to build it up... I'd be all over that!

Are you sure? I'm quite certain I have a VLSD... I don't know of any R50's that came with a clutch based LSD from factory.

Are there any OEM locker diffs that are a simple swap or do they all require converting to 31 spline shafts? R50's and their terrible locker selection. I have the factory vLSD in the rear which catches pretty well, I guess my best logical option at this point with the least amount of work/money is putting a Lokka up front with manual hubs. Shame!

Shame. So nothing mounts or lines up with any stock mounting points? Custom brackets and mounting all around?

Hey all, Wondering if its possible to swap an Xterra rear electronic locking differential into an R50 fairly easy? Has anyone done this or heard of anyone else doing it?

Wow this is awesome. I'm hoping to do something similar this summer! Thanks for posting with pics!

Running a snorkel would completely negate the point of the pop charger since you want everything enclosed and waterproof anyways.

Just in case of pesky (and tasty) wabbits!

It's fskcin' snowy up here.

Gone huntin'

I have the same code with no big issues, however lately mileage has been kind of annoying. How far can you go on a tank of premium fuel with regular driving? I can always get a bit further when I drive super, super conservatively but that's not really realistic.

I'm looking to get one of these in the (distant) future as well - A write up with pics would be awesome.

Yeah I'm just a bit worried because I weigh 200Lbs myself... Plus the tents are generally around 60-90Lbs, and ideally I'd want something that could sleep 2 people if needed. I know the tents are designed to handle it, just not sure about the Pathfinder at this point!

Lately I've been toying with the idea of a roof top tent, or forcing one to fit anyways since nobody makes them specifically for the Pathfinder. I know the stock rails on the roof are only rated for 150Lbs, I'm wondering if I got stronger rails if I could just plop a tent on and go, or if they need some sort of re-enforcement?

Dear mother of God I need to do this, didn't realize it was this simple. I forgot to close my windows and turn on air re-circulation while following 3 trucks up a dusty mountain a week ago - I spent 2 hours yesterday vacuuming every square inch of my interior.

Can't wait to see what you come up with for version two! Are you going to be expanding your line of R50 products?

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the airbags in a 2001 R50 by pulling a fuse? I'd like to disable mine on the fly when I'm crawling over rocks and things like that, on my last outing I had a few close calls that I think could have set off the air bag and done more harm than good. Sorry, its a dumb question but I don't have a FSM.

Sorry I haven't emailed you. Very bad timing for me, I have a feeling I am going to get laid off soon so I can't afford what I'd want. (Bull bar and Winch) Best of luck with your sale, if its not already sold.

The problem with fender flares is that they will actually make it rust faster as they tend to pick up and hold onto a LOT of crap when you're driving around. Getting mud and dirt from out of there is a huge pain in the ass. Unfortunately after I purchased my R50, I noticed a tiny rust spot on the drivers side rear fender, when I removed the flare, it removed most of the body it was attached to. I gently hand sanded the ever-living-@!*% out of it, then washed it, then treated it with some Por-15 which is probably the best rust converter on the market. Aside from cutting it out and replacing the rusted parts, there is little you can do. Any rust converter will only delay the inevitable.

Not if you're just going with a coil spacer lift, as the spacer lift just extends where your struts/springs connect to.

I assume you're not interested in parting anything out? There is a lot I'd be interested in.

Hey Guys, I'm honestly not sure if this is a new thing, or if it's normal and I haven't noticed it until recently. One day after work I went to start my R50 and I kind of half-assed it when I turned the key so it sounded like it didn't start/died but then it kind of went "Brupbrupbrup" and started up anyways. While it was brup'ing I noticed the oil pressure light was on, on my dash. But went away immediately after it started. Now that I noticed the light I watch it when I start the vehicle, when I start it up it briefly flashes - You wouldn't notice unless you were watching it. Is this normal? I recently did an oil change but only put in 5w30 - It's about 30 degrees celcius here daily - Maybe I should be putting in a thicker oil, especially if I'm 4x4ing/exploring/idling a lot? Thoughts?
