[Help finding a rare model]

Well I looked in the computer at work and they were not available in North America....

But there must have been one somewhere since there are notes of a 'van' body type.

[PIAA Wipers and Blades]

So I saw that PIAA now has wipers and blades out there. I read though the literature/propaganda and am wondering if anyone ahs used them on their Pathy and what they thought...

[Local 4x4 shop is confusing me...]

I would say she was looking at 96+ pathys... and if you ever do see her again, let her know that there are in fact lift kits for the unibody pathfinder, and they can infact be wheeled.

 

As mentioned above, you have an entirely different beast, so she was really out to lunch.

 

 

HAHA

I hadnt been in a Walmart in over a year. I actually decided to compare prices and went in to their lube and tire area lat thrusday. The girl at Wally World told me that a 31 10.50 15 was a low profile tire! I turned around and walked out. Guess I wont be going back for another year, or more.

[need to replace powersteering belt?]

pull the Skid plate, climb under and look up.

 

IIRC: 12mm socket with atleast a 6" extension...

 

14mm and you have to crank the pully around so you can stick the socket through the access hole to loosen the upper bolt....

 

That after you remove everything else in the way....

 

 

 

Yep yep yep.

Did mine a few weeks ago. CaseyT is right.

[in search of new bumpers]

I want to replace both my front and rear bumpers (black).

 

Any place online that you'd recommend?

 

Thanks all!!

 

 

OEM from a deal are not really that expensive and you get a one year warranty..........

[Big block VG30]

VERY interested to se how this progresses.

I almost took a replaced VG33 home from work a few weeks ago thinking along these lines.....but talked myself out of 'another project'

[Runs bad/dies under load...]

Thanks! I will test it tomorrow when I put all the new parts on.

 

One last question before I go tinker with it some more.

 

Anyone know a good place to buy replacement parts?

 

The local schmucks wants 100$ for a set of crappy plug wires.

 

I found better ones for cheaper online, just wanted to get some opinions on what everyone runs, and also spark plugs...

 

I have always had good luck with the NGK v power.

 

Anyone?

 

 

$100 for a wire set???? Ill pass! You sould too!

 

Pathys like NGK IMHO

[94 Pathy - oil on bottom of engine - problem or ok? (pics)]

RMS sounds like a lot of work ($600+), oil pressure sender is a fairly easy fix (am i correct?), what about valve cover seals (complexity/cost, anyone know?)

 

RMS is a lot of work, esp if it is 4x4. thats the penalty for being able to have fun....if you do not have a lift andor experience I would have someone else do it. It is not fun.

 

Oil pressure is a piece of cake. You need a 24mm deep socket for it if I recall correctly. Disconect the negative battery terminal too, since it is very near the starter.

 

right side valve cover is easy, the left side is not so easy.........the intake manifold partially covers it.

[poor heat... ideas?]

Air pocket in the heater core?

[Doug Thorley Headers Group Deal]

When do you need to know by?

[94 Pathy - oil on bottom of engine - problem or ok? (pics)]

a shop doing yer RMS? prolly in the ballpark of $300-500 it's a dirt cheap part, but the labor to pull the trans n do the work is a PITA. BUT, IS doable by yourself if you are mechanically inclined.

 

best bet to is to check out the classifieds on here for a gauge cluster... you don't even wanna know what they charge for a new cluster......

 

 

RMS is rated at 8.5 hours on a 4x4 pathfinder.........

[Rear Main Oil Seal repair vs Engine Rebuild]

Rear main seal on a 4x4 pathy is rated at 8.5 hours.

[Rear tail light guards ?]

why do they say 93-95 on that ebay site? i have a 92 and the tail lights look identical to a '95. think they would fit on my 92 pathy. dont see why they wouldnt i thought all the WD21 pathys (90-95) had identical body styles. anyone got these guards from this guy on ebay on an earlier than 93 pathy?

Rich

 

 

Lamp assembly doest change from year to year, you are correct. It will work.

Just because he is selling it doenst mean he knows what it is.....

[Rear tail light guards ?]

Right on, I looked through ebay and did not see those. I just ordered them, How was the install pretty straight forward?

Thanks for looking out.

 

Assuming he sends you the same thing he sent me.....

One phillips head screwdriver and about 15-20 minutes. very, very easy. One problem witht he kit I got was it had 4 screws in the bag not 6. (comes with longer ones to replace the ones already in there) , there are 6 back there, 3 on each light. so I had to go rummage thorugh the shop to find two more.

[Rear tail light guards ?]

Those look to be similar in construction to the Manik ones, about the same price too.

 

 

They are westin. At leas thats what the instructions said at the top in big WESTIN logs, etc.

[problems with climate control 94 V6]

part number:

28520-89967

[Rear tail light guards ?]

I put these on mine a while back from this guy, not to shabby IMHO

[Throttle Body Spacer]

If you had a carb, which you dont, it might make a difference. But in this case, it will not make a difference at all.....

[Secret Santa: Post Your Gift]

Hey all I got mine and it was great! Perfect even!

[Secret Santa: Post Your Gift]

Nope..... <sniff>

 

so has everyone received their gifts?

[Rear windshild wiper fluid?]

Just a thought, when I havent used mine in a while, I have to let the rear motor pump a few times by just holding it on, to get the fluid to pump/draw to the back. (I guess it evaporates in the line in the heat here in TX over time) Then it works just fine.

 

 

mine is doing the same thing. I have not got around to looking at it yet. Let me know how this turns out for you.

This link just takes me to the photobucket main page...or am I doing something wrong?

[My RPM's are going crazy]

Coolant Temperature Sensor

Its about 2.5 inches long. IT sits on top of the water intake up front on the right of the engine (drivers right). The original factory sensor should have a blue plug on the end. IT is up front and on top

Should cost about $35 from a dealership.

Assuming you have a VG30 engine the old part number is 22630-V5010 but there was a part supersession and I think the new number is 22630-51E02.

Any dealers computer will show the new part number.

The one from the dealer comes also with the copper O ring for it.

 

 

 

The new part number for the senosr is 22630-51E02

[ABS and Brake warning lights]

All WD21 have rear only ABS. It is designed to kick in when the Pathy is pulling a trailer and there is weight on the rear to stop teh truck from fish-tailing, so its probably programed at a very high rate to activate.

 

 

Oh, and you have ABS. It's rear only. There was no 4 wheel ABS on WD21's. I've never felt mine kick in either.

Thanks for the help I ran the codes and came back fine.

 

I want to try the Temperature Sensor I went to the auto store and 3 came up

 

Ambient Air Temperature Sensor

Coolant Temperature Sensor

Ignition Air Cleaner Temperature Sensor

 

Wich one could it be?

I want to say the coolant one because it is the cheapest.

Please help one more time.
