I tend to agree...

If it is not the belts check: Idler pully Water Pump Fan Clutch

Agreed X2

I would check the rack bushings as well. "small play" - even 1 degree to the right- is a big difference at 70mph. In land navigation, if you are offcourse by just one degree in your heading then for every mile that you travel you get 92 feet further away from the right heading.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter The catalytic converter's construction is as follows: The catalyst support or substrate. For automotive catalytic converters, the core is usually a ceramic monolith with a honeycomb structure. Metallic foil monoliths made of Kanthal (FeCrAl)[citation needed] are used in applications where particularly high heat resistance is required.[citation needed] Either material is designed to provide a large surface area. The cordierite ceramic substrate used in most catalytic converters was invented by Rodney Bagley, Irwin Lachman and Ronald Lewis at Corning Glass, for which they were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2002.[2] The washcoat. A washcoat is a carrier for the catalytic materials and is used to disperse the materials over a large surface area. Aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, or a mixture of silica and alumina can be used. The catalytic materials are suspended in the washcoat prior to applying to the core. Washcoat materials are selected to form a rough, irregular surface, which greatly increases the surface area compared to the smooth surface of the bare substrate. This in turn maximizes the catalytically active surface available to react with the engine exhaust. The coat must retain its surface area and prevent sintering of the catalytic metal particles even at high temperatures (1000 °C).[15] The catalyst itself, most often a mix of precious metals. Platinum is the most active catalyst and is widely used, but is not suitable for all applications because of unwanted additional reactions and high cost. Palladium and rhodium are two other precious metals used. Rhodium is used as a reduction catalyst, palladium is used as an oxidation catalyst, and platinum is used both for reduction and oxidation. Cerium, iron, manganese and nickel are also used, although each has limitations. Nickel is not legal for use in the European Union because of its reaction with carbon monoxide into toxic nickel tetracarbonyl.[citation needed]Copper can be used everywhere except North America,[clarification needed] where its use is illegal because of the formation of toxic dioxin[citation needed].

They use small amounts of platinum and a few other precious metals inside them to react cemically with the exhaust to make it more friendly. Platinum is uber $$$$ per ounce.

that is a good point, they shouldnt be since it wasnt an option yet.

Yeah, 93-95 should be prewired already.

Hi there, that speedometer cable should be: PART NUMBER: 25050-31G01 DESCRIPTION: SHAFT, FLEX, SPEEDO $49.55 (nissan list: $91.96)

93, 94, 95 models had a heated/power mirror option.

NAILED IT! As stated, look at models that have 5 and 6 speed MT offered, they usually end up in nearly the same final gear ratio. Example 5SPD = 0.825 vs 6SPD = 0.842 not much of a difference or gain in the end.

I see one plug on the intake side of the head. It appears on the diagram to be about 1/3 of the way back from the head, near the engine sliger. It is a round threaded plug. It is still available from Nissan. PART NUMBER: 11048-10W00 DESCRIPTION: PLUG-THREADED $1.33 (NISSAN LIST: $4.37)

Preach it Kingman!!!

Good deal, sometiems its just the simple things. I would still look at cleaning your throttle body and change the engine temp sensor given the miles on your truck, not expensive to do.

Throttlebody does come to mind, wont hurt to clean it anyways at 300K! The works fine cold, runs like crap hot also could be the engine temperature sensor, and it is not expensive and again your truck could probably use a new one at 300K I am also thinking of the the oxygen sensor when the computer goes into closed loop. Does it happen about 5 mins after a cold start? If so take a look at the O2 sensor,

this does sounds like a brake master cylinder issue to me but I would also get the leaky caliper fixed. I would also replace the brake vaccuum check valve to the master cylinder for good measure. PART NUMBER: 47478-03B00 DESCRIPTION: CHECK VALVE

They must be hard core in Cali checking the emissions labels.

Apply some Molycote to the brake pad shims/pad backs and caliper pins. Dont get it on the rotors or brake pad face (wipe off if you do)

22760 is the one I have used in the past, and I have a buddy that put one on his 1993 and there were no fitting problems. I will try to go measure mine when I get home tonight.

The pressure plates are no longer available from Nissan motorports. They do however have 3 of the Nismo clutches left. $302.40

Where?

Yes it is.

First post in this section! New owners should be happy, the step rail kits finally got released last week by Nissan.

You are here in TX now?

oohhhh. thats a good point Rick13!!!! I should have looked at it more closely, it could be coming from the t-case gasket there or just draining down from up higher and collecting on that seam. Let us know if it is coming from there or not Darek!
