I just did my second oil change on my wd21. I pull the new gasket off and lube it up and put it back on the filter, clean the mating surface with a rag, fill the filter about 1/3 with oil then just hand tighten it on. When I did my first oil change on it I didn't clean the surface at all, just removed the old and slapped the new on. It didn't leak even though it was probably a pretty dirty seal(I couldn't see what the hell I was doing). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jack the tire up, grab grab the wheel by 3 and 9 o'clock and wiggle back and forth. Then repeat but at 12 and 6. It shouldn't have too much play in it. If it's loose the bearing is most likely bad. Check all four, and if one is bad it will probably be looser than the others. The only other way I know of to check them would be pulling them out and cleaning/checking them for wear. At that point though you might as well just replace them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn that sounds sweet. How much for it? This one was 500 and had a bad ecu. Would have been a great parts vehicle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't remember the color but it had the tubular upper control arms, Nissan pre runner style bumper, heavy duty torsions and thorley headers. It was in AZ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome haha. I was hoping the one I saw on Craigslist with lots of aftermarket stuff would last till tax time, it was on there for like 2 months, but the ad was taken down a week ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. I know it was a big issue and I did the trans cooler on my parents 07 xterra just figure I'd bring it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's auto check the fluid for the milkshake. If it's good make sure to install a new trans cooler and bypass the radiator. I'm not sure if the 02 has that problem but better safe than sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I believe so. I uploaded a video a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure I did it like a photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was going to say sounds like a transmission problem but the last bit makes me think it's not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine makes a weird rubbing noise at about 750-800 rpm so I bumped the idle up to about 850 and it's nice and quiet now. I can only hear it as I let the clutch out taking off. Still dont know what causes is but I'm not too worried anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Visit AZ! One of the most diverse states in the US in terms of geography and wildlife. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome! Hit up your local junk yards. I've found some cool stuff for my truck there. I bet you can easily find a dome light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it has it wasn't reported. I remember reading somewhere about a mod for the steering lock, maybe someone tried that but messed up. My steering doesn't lock at all and the little button on the lock cylinder does nothing. I can pull the key out while it's running, which has proved useful haha. I'm always forgetting things in the house, so I can just pull the key out to run inside and leave it running. I always set the alarm and put a steering wheel lock on it if I'm away from it for more than an hour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've put my ranger on this lift a few times and we could never get them far enough apart, it was always super sketchy when we would shake test it first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Started school today, gonna change my oil in the shop. Haven't put the wd21 on a lift yet. The service manual I have for the 1989 d21/wd21 only shows the d21 lifting points on a 2 post lift, which are on the frame rails right behind the front wheel wells and up against the leaf spring shackles. Where's the pest spot for my pathfinder? Does the d21 leaf spring shackle line up with the lower link on the wd21? Is the weight distribution similar to the d21? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that's a good idea. I've been weighing the two options lately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found an 88' on craigslist with a bad ecu for $600 with lots of goodies on it I would like to throw on my 89'. Nissan pre runner style bumper, stainless magna flow exhaust, thorley headers(it has a 97' 3.0 swapped in it), tubular upper control arms, sway away torsion bars, HD rear coils, and a limited slip(mines open). Seems like a great price for all that stuff plus all the other parts I could pull over the years. Just wondering what I could put to use from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was at one last week and had to take my jacket off, it was too hot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did this last week, it's already &^%*ing loose and hard to open again!! I'm gonna lock tire the adjuster in place next time I'm in there. Or get the correct plastic piece that seems to be missing, that's probably a better idea. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Installed a Dual 300W sub that the PO threw in with the truck when I bought it. He picked a really bad ground for it and when I tried his wiring it was in protect mode. Moved the ground wire and it works really good! Had a chance to open the radio up and check his wiring job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I discovered this when my key fell out after starting it one night. I like it. It's like a party trick. I pull they key out when it's running and they just look at me confused. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think anybody watched this because of the thumbnail haha, apparently my truck will start with just about anything that fits in the ignition, including nail clippers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking about just doing it through the shifter and leaving the fill alone. I tried propane and a breaker already, maybe I didn't get it hot enough. I have yet to try after a long highway drive maybe that'll do the trick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
