  1. Pulled the speaker boxes out of the back to give more room.
  2. If the timing it earlier than it should be then it is advanced, later then it is retarded.
  3. That is what my bearing looked like. It was very rough when spun. It was pretty easy to hand pack.
  4. Just the bearing. To clarify, mine is the style with the center plastic piece, so that may be why mine is an oring and yours isn't. The bearing was difficult to find at a good price. Most places wanted around $80. I got it at McGuire bearing for $20. More than likely, you won't need parts, just a good cleaning and lube. I think Nissan recommends lubing them ever oil change.
  5. I read somewhere that later models put the resistors in a different location.
  6. I have heard people say that changing fluids can cause problems, but I have never seen it or met anyone that had it happen. I have never met anyone that knew anyone personally that had it happen. I think it may be an old wives tale.
  7. It was just a big oring on mine. I put a new bearing in one of them, cleaned them up and lubed everything well. They work very smoothly now. You should be able to get the oring at any auto parts store.
  8. Very nice. Remember to move your license plate before you go on road. Olympia Powder Coating does good work, my father in law and I have both had things painted there. Price is reasonable too, but quite a drive for you.
  9. Yes the distributor could be off a tooth. Is it advanced or retarded?
  10. Four stroke, so not three firing at the same time. Some would be firing, some on compression stroke. Three firing at the same time on a 6 cylinder would require a two stroke. Which would be awesome power, a two stroke 3.0L V 6.
  11. How old is the battery? Does it have enough water in it? You can take both the battery and alternator in to an auto parts store and have them test it. They should have the ability to load test the battery. Draining the battery while running, or when turned off? You may have something staying on draining the battery. Turn the vehicle off and check to see how many amps are being drawn.
  12. What did you make this on? I have tried solid works and fusion 360 for making designs and got frustrated with both. Fusion 360 can do much more, but the learning curve on both is so steep that the amount of time invested doesn't seem to be worth it. Everytime I start to make a peice of furniture I try to do a mock-up like this, get frustrated and build it out of my head. Design looks very nice by the way. I like the pathfinder cut out. And if you plan on mounting lights on the back like a lot of people, it might cover up the Nissan. Something to think about.
  13. Check out crutchfield. Put in your vehicle and it will give all the radios that fit, plus the needed harness and instructions.
  14. I had some master crafts on my f150 and liked them. They are the parent company of Cooper tires, but a little cheaper.
  15. I don't feel that you thought that was as funny as I did. Single bang from the starter? Like it only turns the engine one revolution?
  16. Now you know where you left that chunk of plastic and bolt you have been looking for.
  17. https://m.grainger.com/mobile/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-0-580-Steel-Knurled-Flanged-32FY58?breadcrumbCatId=10626 I was thinking something similar to above. Through drill the frame, insert the sleeve from the backside, and install the bolt. The Timesert looks like a great option. I would use that over helicoils anytime. I have never had problems with helicoil, but have never liked them either. I have seen Timesert type items used in aluminum products from the factory in rigging and scaffolding applications, so I wouldn't have a problem trusting them in this situation.
  18. How are your belt and brakes looking? When was the last time your wheel bearings were packed?
  19. Depending on which injector it is, it can be very easy. The driver side injectors are buried under the intake. Also, there is always the possibility that the injector is fine but it's not getting a signal to fire. More than likely it is failed injector though.
  20. If it's working I would leave it for now. When you get ready to repair it, I wonder if you could drill it out and then install a sleeve so you could still use the same bolt size. Other option may be to drill oversize and tap for a larger bolt.
  21. Shoot. That's my b-day, doubt my wife would like me skipping out on that day.
  22. That would give you air speed, not ground speed, which could vary greatly if you a heading into a strong head wind. Is there something that comes on at a certain speed? In newer cars when in drive and above x speed, it automatically locks the doors. Does the pathy have any circuit that changes state based on a defined speed point? Does it auto lock the doors? If you can find one, grab that output from the ECM and use it to turn the fan off at that speed.
