R50 Front Quarter Panels (pre and post face lift cross compatible?)
Tomek replied to Tomek's topic in General Forums
I think I answered my own question... Looks like the headlights and bumper attachment are different. SO if anyone has a link to pre-facelift quarter panels, that would rock my world. That asside I'm looking at a 1999 QX4 which might be rust free. My 3.3L engine and all suspention parts should be able to move over correct? -
Hi Guys, do you know if pre and post facelift panels are compatible. I need new quarter panels for my pre face lift (they are rusting out), but all I can find is post face lift panels. If you know anywhere which still has pre-facelift panels available that would rock too! PS - how about inifinity quarter panels? Will they fit? Thanks!

anyone have links to plastic fender flares that will fit R50? Thinking just cutting the @!*% out and riveting on bigger flares. Thx

Prob w/ Bilstein 5125 33-185552 + LR 9447 Spring Mod
Tomek replied to Tomek's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
best option would be to bang the ones out of your old shocks I guess and hope they fit the new bushings -

No sorry we just scrounged around the shop for some that fit. (looking through old dead shocks basically) -
Anyone know a backyard body guy near GTA?

Thanks man! Ya probably not a good idea to rhino underneath. As for the rear quarter panel I guess the existing one would need to be cut out and the new one welded in. That sounds like a nasty big job! Would have to gut the inside the get on that side

and this https://www.noramstore.ca/i-26894075-nissan-pathfinder-infiniti-qx4-97-04-quarter-panel-4-door-driver-side.html anyone know of any plastic ones for rear how would these go on? Rivets?

Update... drove across the country last summer with a over 500 pounds of load. (moved from Vancouver to Toronto) Have done some med. off roading since. Everything is holding like a charm! Problem was never the 5125s, or the spring height. Problem was definitely the fact the shop use the wrong sleeves in the original 5125 bushings leaving 2mm of play on the pin. This caused one of the original 5125 bushing to blow out. Replacing both bushings with the engergy bushings and correctly fitting sleeves working like a charm. Suspension super happy. Everything feels like new and ready for 10 years of abuse. Cheers! -
Hi Guys, I've moved from the west coast to the east. Salt on the roads is already having an effect on the rust situation. Anyone know of a place around Toronto that would cut the rust out, weld up the scars and slap some new flares or trim on there? After words I'll get under there and slap a bunch of rhino liner in to hopefully cover exposed metal from winter road @!*%. Is that a stupid idea? Thoughts on how to battle rust on the east? I'm at 260K and still going strong. Would hate to see the rust eat her up before everything else. We have long roads ahead! Cheers! PS- Maybe we can do a GTA pathy meet up in the spring?
