Hopefully, you didn't hose the plug when you put the impact on it. If you bugger that up, you're gonna have a heck of a time gettin it off. Hit it with some PB blaster, let it soak in for an afternoon, or over night, come back and hit it squarely with a larger hamer a few times. I had the same problem and this trick freed it right up. The hammer part is the trick, it tends to break free whatever is holding the dirty bugger in place. Good luck.
M.M.
The impact wrench worked great on the others but I fear I did round it out a bit....it kinda slightly got away from me once :furious:
-
I tried getting the plug out to no avail...even put a 1/2" impact wrench on it. Anybody ever used a siphon device. I'm thinking of a boat gas bulb and siphon it out.

I believe the supercharger only added about 10hp. Anyone ever put a '01+ engine in a pre-'01 Pathy...out of the box, they're making ~240hp.
Not exactly. HP for the 3.3 NA Frontiers was rated at 170. The S/C version was rated at 210 hp. So, +40. I think adding another 40 on top of that would be relatively simple, just by messing with the boost, ECU, and some other basic things.
My mistake...but I believe the N/A Xterra was rated at 180HP. You could do a K&N, exhaust and a chip for less than $1K and probably get 60-75+hp...much cheaper than boosting and better payoff.

What can I do I don't want to have to buy another tire?
Unfortunately, you'll need to..no one (trustworthy) will repair a sidewall

Big Johnson, you even say it yourself, "difficulty of re-obtaining a reliable engine. Going from N/A to turbocharged always causes issues, (be they electrical/ECU related, engine internal strength related, etc.)"
Come on, you guys know there's more to adding a turbo than just adding a turbo to an existing engine. Say what you will, all I'm saying is that our Pathys aren't remotely designed to accept turbos...not the engine, gearing, coolant, anything. Want more power, again, drop a diesel in it and call it a day.
-
I know some guys on another message board would kill for something like that since for the 96-99's who don't have one, are not able to mount one from an R50 that did.
Only way to do it would to have a custom rear bumper that would integrate it.
I believe there is more to it than a bumper also..I looked into it and it would require some reinforcements places in teh rear quarter panels and other misc. equip. I knew I should have held out for a rear carrier...but I did at least get the 5-speed.

And I thought putting Pathfinder decals on my rear side windows was a waste of time...

I have the entire download in zip format for just 1 download session, rather than 20...I tried loading it to my website but the file is too large (~37 MB).
-
B/c of gearing and other issues, turbos aren't worth it in a Pathfinder or any other 4x4. You're better off dropping a diesel in it to inc. power/torque/MPG.

could very well be the struts
I'd go Rancho

Anyone have any pics of a 96-98 Pathfinder with the Sliderz?

I just noticed today that my driver side OEM tubular step rail is badly rusted underneath, on a 97 SE. The other one is perfect. Dealer quoted me $450 for one, or I could buy the set for $350...
:confused: ... anyone else notice premature rusting on their OEM rails?? -
clunking could indicate a bad strut and/or strut mount

31x10.50 BFG AT K/O's on my stock 97 SE... darn good tires and they look so good. I have minor rubbing when really tight turns come in. By the way nice XJ, I had a black two door.. 3inch and 31's. Drowneded it in a mud hole at three in the morning and had to sleep in it, with no heat, in the middle of January -thnkboutit- . Sat so long in the water it messed a mile long list of parts up.
Good to know 31's fit a stock 97
-
looks like you have existing rails...why not go with a Thule using their foot pack system? That's what I use.
-
don't know if this helps, but just recently (last 10K miles), I've noticed that on a harder take-off, I feel this "thunk"...like something is shifting, maybe a loose/broken motor mount or the driveshaft, moves...very hard to decsribe as I don't know where it's exactly coming from.

I sold Nissans for 5 years (explains why i don't understand a lot, doesn't it) There is no way in HELL there would be unregistered Nissans on the ground. Not only is it the worst financial decision you can make but Nissan Corprate would make the dealer purchase the vehicles after a certain amount of time on the ground.
I did a search on this Legend Nissan, Ltd. and found this article. I wouldn't break the piggy bank open and fly to Syosset just yet boys.
Not sure where the Legend Nissan comes from, but here's another article on the "Oyster Bay Nissan" he mentions...

A nice coating of high-temp grease will keep the dust down too.
where are you applying grease?
-
finally, no more dust!!!
-
ever since I've had it, the clutch doesn't want to disengage all the way...it sticks about 3/4 way back. I've gotten used to just popping it back with the top of my foot. I've tried everything I can think of, grease, fluid, etc. Any ideas?
-
Is it necessary? I wish...it sure would make for an easier sale to the misses...
"why do you want that...that's stupid..." -
got it...changed to ceramics.

I'm hoping Ihave time to crawl under there this weekend to try it again. I'll post with the results.
