Hey everyone, I got my 1998 Pathfinder about 2 weeks ago but i finally got some pictures. So what does everyone think I should do? I was thinking about getting a nice black manik brush gaurd and some fender flares. Are there any good aftermarket ones or could i just go to the junkyard and take ones off of a pathy that had em. If so how are they attached? Thx

yeah i thought something was odd, funny thing is it just passed safety with no problems. On an unrealted matter there is a scratch in the plastic glass that is infront of the gauge cluster, are there any products that would take it out. I've seen meguiars plastic x for headlights would that work. thansk

Hey guys, The exhaust system on my 98 pathy is pretty rusted and is making rattling noises. I was just wondering what is the price to have it all redone at midas or the mufflerman, any specific parts needed. Also my pathy does not have a catalyitic converter?!?! Thanks

i like how they're teflon so easy cleanup! nice style too

yeah i would like to do all that so i don't have to worry about it, plus i want to take in on some trips this year so it would be a good idea. It was the whole reason on getting it. That and the 4wd. I bought it from the dealership but i'm pretty sure they can't do that, they don't even own a computer (it's a rural community) but i'm sure its been serviced regularily. If not nows a great time to start.

sounds resonable, i guess this thread should be in the garage oops! I was reading through the manual onlince and in the service section is says that at 48,000 km the spark plugs should be changed. Any specific brands that you guys like or that work well with this engine thanks.

ok cool, thanks for your positive comments! Yeah i really like it, i'll post some pictures of it when i take delivery on wenesday. Oh another thing when the dealer took it through the car wash the power attenae broke off. He wasn't clear if it would be fixed or not so i was wondering how hard it is to do and the availablity of the parts and price. Thanks

Yeah it's about 27,000 miles. I'm thinking more about the age because it probably does the same thing as miles just no wear on the components. I read that if you have the dealer do the belt it gets pretty expensive so i would do it myself but should i get the belt from the dealer? With the tranny flush and fill what fluid and filter should they be putting in just so i can ask to make sure. I also heard about tranny coolers does this apply to my pathfinder. Thanks again and for the fast reply!

Hey everybody, I'm the proud new owner of a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder LE. It's my first 4x4 too so i'm looking forward to that. My question is that it has low miles for it's year thats because I purchased it from an older gentleman who didn't drive it much but took excellent care of it. I'm not sure about it's service history but everything works and it runs smoothly. I just had a few questions about some preventative maintence that might need to be done incase it hasn't been service. I've heard about the timing belt but it hasnt reached the mileage yet but the age would that affect the belt? Second the tranny fluid i dont know if it has ever been changed. I was thinking about taking it to the nearby nissan dealership and having them do a flush and fill? Does the filter need to be replaced too at this time. Any other maintence ideas would be appreicated. Oh the truck had 43,000 km on it. Thanks!
